RDM tested that out a for awhile against Blackburn. Think it's a good possibility of that happening.

Am hoping Luiz can contain his enthusiasm tomorrow, stay concentrated and keep his discipline in the game. Need everybody at their tip-top form.

Guess you're not a fan of stats then...

1. Bayern Munich have won 32 of 33 games in all competitions this season when they have scored first season (P9 W8 D1 in UCL). 2. Only Napoli have managed to get a result against Bayern Munich after they scored first as they drew 1-1 at San Paolo in CL this season. 3. Chelsea have won 30 of 41 games when they have opened the scoring first in games this season in all competitions (P11 W7 D2 L2 in UCL). 4. Bayern Munich have only come from behind to win 3 of 15 games in which they have conceded first in all competitions this season. 5. In the Champions League though, Bayern Munich have lost all 3 games - vs Man City, Basel & Real Madrid - when they have conceded first. 6. Chelsea have conceded most of their CL goals this season in the second half - 7 - with 6 of them coming in the last 30mins of matches 7. Chelsea's 24 goals in the CL this season have been equally scored in both halves(12-12). The most(6) have come in the 16-30th minute. 8. Bayern Munich have conceded 10 goals in Champions League this season and are also equally divided in both halves(5-5). 9. Six of those goals have come in around the half-time with 3 conceded in the 15mins before HT & another 3 conceded in the 15mins after HT.

Ooops. Sorry.

Do we have a choice?? We are down to bare bones a bit here.

Cahill & Luiz have trained all week and RDM is very hopeful on them. Malouda will join training later. Chalobah & Kane have traveled with the squad as back-ups IF any of the senior figures drop out from the first 18.

A wheeler dealer must have been rubbing his hand gleefully when that news broke out.

Grant Holt has handed in a transfer request at Norwich! Shocking!

No. Am totally desperate to see us win this!

Oh god, hope we win this!

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/7764162/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter Oh dear. Heynckes just called Drogba a diver. Remember Rafa in 2008??

Should be.

Seems that they are gonna interview 12 candidates for the manager position. They clearly don't have any idea what type of manager they want there.

Here's a couple of stats on penalties: 1. Bayern have all won 4 previous penalty shootouts in UEFA competitions: 2. Bayern have scored 13 of 15 penalties they have received this season in all competitions. However, they have missed 1 of 2 penalties given to them in the Champions League this season. Robben scored the one against Real Madrid while Gomez missed the penalty against Napoli in the group stage when Bayern played at San Paolo. 3. Bayern have already played out 2 penalty shootouts this season - vs Borussia Monchengladbach in DFB Pokal Semi Final & Real Madrid in Champions League Semi Final - and they won both. 4. Chelsea have suffered defeat in the previous 2 penalty shootouts in UEFA competitions. (Don't think I need to remind who did we lose to.) 5. Chelsea have only won 2 of their previous 9 penalty shootouts in all competitions. Beaten Fulham in the Carling Cup this year & Man United in the 09/10 season Community Shield. 6. Chelsea have scored 7 of the 12 penalties that were given to them in all competitions this season. In the Champions League though, they gotten 3 and while Luiz missed his one against Genk, Lampard netted the other two against Napoli and Benfica.

True but at the end of the day, they still won it. And Neuer did manage to save both Ronaldo & Kaka's penalty, even if they were poorly taken.

Seems that the media are determined to disrupt our preparations for the CL final by dishing out all this transfer & managerial rumours.

Oh dear. cap will not be liking this.

http://www.bbc.co.uk...rce=twitterfeed Marin reckons we will beat Bayern. He sure know how to hit the right notes before joining up with us.

That. We need established players right now, not squad players.

O.M.G. Just about 37 hours left to go. AAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Same goes with the club. It's a very fine margin this.
