Dunno why but I feel United could give Bayern a real tough game tonight....

Anybody got videos of the celebration?

YEA JUST CAN'T EXPRESS THE HAPPINESS! WE'RE IN THE SEMI-FINAL BABY! I actually just told a friend who was confused why Ba came on that Mourinho made a great decision to bring him on!

Well this tie's over.... Scoring all those goals against a team like PSG without Hazard's extremely unlikely.

Against Juve it wasn't the false 9 that let us down but more our defence. We actually created some opportunities early in the 1st half (against Europe's best defence that time AWAY). Michael Cox wrote a good article on it on ZM. http://www.zonalmarking.net/2012/11/21/juventus-3-0-chelsea-di-matteo-uses-hazard-upfront-but-chelsea-lose-the-game-elsewhere/

Even if Eto'o starts on Tuesday, he'll lack match practice so I'm not sure he'll be particularly sharp. If Eto'o doesn't start then Hazard as a false 9?

Would like to remind that before the 4-1 against Napoli, we beat Stoke City in the previous match on a Saturday as well.

Ashley Cole's Beard > James Harden's

HOLY FUCKING SHIT! Did Mourinho send Ashely Cole to a cave? (after seeing he got a Beard)

We can't score more than a goal against Stoke without Hazard....

Pity Salah's cup tied

Need to hammer them. Got to get the scoring form/confidence ahead of PSG return leg!

Yea I love collars too. Just make the kits a little more classy.

Agree. It looks terrible.... I miss the old 08/09 kit. My personal favourite. The last couple of seasons have had pretty good kits too. Then again we always find the kits a bit weird initially and it just becomes normal in the middle of the next season for us.

We should have replied the Beckham one with a picture of Lampard!

(Bolded part) for real? We're extremely reliant on Hazard providing the odd moment of brilliance to score. In reality we're a really boring side and are usually quite terrible in games where we dominate possession. Top 3 chances created Hazard- 86 chances created, Willian- 43, Oscar 41 (Via Squawka) Don't really think that shows attacking as a team....

City don't have anything else to worry about (i.e. no cup/European interests) and regarding the bold part, I think not getting Barcelona or Bayern helped.....

But the Ligue 1 will rise up in 'priority' if the clubs there get richer and can invest more in.

Money? Maybe if clubs like Marseille/Lille were richer than us they could keep players like Azpilcueta/Hazard? Isn't that evident since PSG's gotten richer they can keep/attract superstar players?

Reading the last couple of pages. There have been some cancerous posts.... What has the strength of the League you play in got to do with any of this? PSG is a brilliant side and I must say if anything our reputation is the main reason we're being fancied ahead of them. Anyone saw how they hammered the 'Mickey Mouse' teams in the Group Stages (While we lost twice to Basel)? They are a top class team even though I think because of our 'big game' strength etc.(which we saw in our heroic performance against Bayern/some of the League games this season such as at the Ethiad). We might edge them in a pretty close game. EDIT: If the French Leagues are so terrible then why do PL teams buy so many players from them?

Been ages since I've come on the Pub! How are you all doing? @, Happy Birthday man! Chelsea did a hell of a good job of making it a great day eh?

Knew I could always count on you to deliver mate! Thanks a lot!

Tell him that the keeper wears a different kit from the outfield players
