Meh. Major bore-fest of a game. Bertrand MOTM again for me. Defence was solid but the same can't be said about our attack. Overall, at least we did not lose. A decent point in the end. Next..

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/4269828/Gary-Cahill-Big-games-are-the-reason-why-I-joined-Chelsea.html A long interview on Cahill regarding the Barcelona match, Messi, RVP, Arsenal and Terry.

Would rather go for Falcao.

Tevez's golf celebration.. 2. Both were in the FA Cup.

Can't believe there is still the second leg to come.. Anyway, the boys did well last night and Baker's goal was class after being setup nicely by Piazon. Chalobah's through ball for the 3rd was excellent and it was wonderfully finished by Feruz. Also, seems that we have a quality RB for the future in Todd Kane.

Some stats on tomorrow's London derby.

Obviously I did...

Happy Birthday Tomo.

Xavi? HA! Who's he?

Saw someone mentioned on Twitter that RDM went to talk to Hiddink about this game. Not sure if it is true because no one picked up on it but it makes sense if he did anyway.

Depends on who score first. The longer we can keep it at 0-0, the more chance that we have to go through. Key thing here is not conceding early.

Nah. He is fine. That was his 1st yellow of the competition this season. Luiz(out injured anyway), Ivanovic, Meireles, Cole & Ramires are the ones 1 YC away from a UCL suspension.

Oh my. Just read the Drogba's injury news. As Pr22's said, if he's really injured, we're screwed for Tuesday!

Just checked the UEFA site. Seems that after picking up a yellow card on Wednesday, Ramires is one away from a UCL suspension. Not good.

You can't be serious right? That guy is the Danish version of Sotiris Kyrgiakos. He has been a calamity in the Roma's defence many times this season.

Need Mourinho to work his dark magic on Saturday.

IF you want more encouraging stats: 1. Chelsea have scored first in all 11 of their Champions League games this season. 2. Chelsea have opened the scoring first in 12 of 13 matches under RDM. The other was a 0-0 draw against Spurs at SB. 3. Barcelona have conceded in all Champions League home games this season except against Bate Borisov & Viktoria Plzen. Milan scored 3 in 2 matches against them at the Camp Nou while even Leverkusen got one there.

It was slightly embarrassing to watch Drogba with his theatrics on Wednesday BUT considering that it was against Barcelona, I couldn't be bothered. They need to have a taste of their own medicine!

Unlucky Courtois for Valencia's 2nd goal there.

We got smashed 5-1 aet in 2000 IIRC.

His recent performances just shown what ludicrous decision it is to leave him out of the strikers' shortlists for the 20 PL seasons award.

BIg game for Courtois tonight in the Europa League SF against Valencia. Good luck to him. Would be great for him to win a European trophy.

Oh Mata... :worship:

His save against Puyol/Thiago was perhaps the most important of all. For a moment, I thought it had gone it and went bonkers about the marking on Puyol..
