Hmmm, right. But it was turned off some time before the match.

Is anyone going to watch Madrid vs APOEL?? lol By the way, what has happened to the chatbox???

No Betrand on the bench but we do have Ferreira...

Remember, Luiz, Cole and Meireles are all 1 YC away from a UCL suspension.

Not comparing the teams but think we all do remember what happened the last time a team came to SB in CL with a makeshift defence.

With a 34 y/o Capdevilla(although experience) at LB for Benfica, surely Ramires can get the better of him down that flank??

Obviously, RDM does not trusts Sturridge defensively.

Benfica XI vs Chelsea: Arthur M Patel J Capdevila Garcia Emerson - Witsel Matic - B Cesar Gaitan Aymara - Cardozo No FIT CB for Benfica!!

Lineup: Cech, Ivanovic, Cole, David Luiz, Ramires, Lampard, Torres, Mata, Mikel, Kalou, Terry ©. Just 2 changes from the 1st leg. Lampard & Ivanovic replaces Meireles and Ferreira.

I think Torres has to start tonight. He's on a roll and there should be no reason why the momentum has to be halted. Drogba just picked up an injury last weekend. No point risking him tonight. Wrap him around the cotton wool and unleash him on either Wigan or Fulham.

Surely, we can at least get a goal in the 90 minutes...

The middle zone needs explointing then! Cheers for the feedback.

Either way, best to forget about it and focus on tonight's game. By the way, just curious, has Javi Garcia played as a CB or anywhere across the back 4 before? If yes, how has he done there?

Don't get me wrong. I have no problem with them talking about the match/tie as a whole but the fact that they kept on talking about last week's result and performance about how we did not deserved to win etc is what annoyed me the most! Can't they just forget about what happened last week and just concentrate on tonight?!!

If he has made just 1-2 wrong calls, then fine. But he turned down 4-5 legitimate penalty shouts for us from start to finish! Simply f***ing unforgivable!!

lol Appreciate that. *runs into room and cry*

Oh gawd. Think I'm gonna puke!

That! Him and his players are running their mouth way too much and it's getting really annoying!!

1st Leg - Stamford Bridge 2nd Leg - Nou Camp

I believe bir_h has said quite a lot about that. Not denying that every or most managers ask their player(s) to use the time wasting tactics in certain situations in a game. However, if you're gonna do that, at least tell that to your player(s) in the dressing room or training ground or basically just behind closed doors before a game. Don't do it so blantantly obvious in the public like that!!

Two random stats on that.

This is funny. And this is just pathetic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=pPDxXGelbUw

Has this turned into 'Player's Butt of the Year' or something??

RDM said it in his PC awhile ago.

Saw this in another forum. https://yfrog.com/Himg737/scaled.php?tn=0&server=737&filename=iocevo.jpg&xsize=480&ysize=480
