Just got back. Awful match and performance, but we got what we needed ahead of Tuesday. Thought Torres' introduction made for a great last half an hour - he had lots of chances and played well again.

F*** 8-0 and 6-0, I'll take 1-0 with a scrappy last minute winner.

According to the Guardian, Torres and Drogba have spent 169 minutes together on the pitch and exchanged five passes - one being a kick-off.

Keep the faith.

There's no way that's possible.

Their last loss at home was our last visit - April 2010.

The United fans showed their true ignorance last night by shouting "you Scouse bastard" at Torres, who is from Madrid and lives in London, despite the fact Rooney grew up and played in Liverpool.

If we had a decent lead, we may have messed it up. Look at the 3-1 we got at Anfield - we came back to the Bridge and had to come from two goals down to draw 4-4. At least we can't become complacent now.

It's a shame the media and non-Chelsea fans don't realise how good he's been recently. Now he's being used as a scapegoat and the media are saying Carlo's decision to take Drogba off was influenced by Roman. His movement was great as usual and he had some impressive chances, hitting the post.

The second leg won't be easy at all, but a good performance will see us through. If we play like we did last night, we've no hope. Something has to change. We can't put exactly the same team out with the same formation and tactics. Look at Inter last season - we didn't stand a chance. Get an early goal and we're even. We can win there. We can't complain about referees if we play poorly for 89 minutes.

Don't want to put any pressure on him but Torres has the best odds to score tonight.

Carlo's 100th game and Frank's 500th. I've just tormented myself by watching the Moscow shootout. Come on Chels!

I don't want to become complacent, but a solid win in this first leg would put us within touching distance of Wembley. Then we can park the bus at OT and beat Schalke.

I don't think racism is particularly prevalent in the UK compared to other places in the world. London's incredibly multi-cultural (along with many other cities), but there is, as with anywhere, some racism.

He will come good and the goals will flow in time.

Definitely don't see Real-Chelsea as a dream final for anyone involved (including Riccy, Jose and us), though I would rather play them at Wembley than Barca.

Torres has scored three in his last five league games against United - and had one disallowed when we won 2-1. Ancelotti has a 100% record against United for Chelsea.

I'd never seen them check people's ages - it should be fine.

Bet Spurs will be thinking their luck's in!

Let's absolutely batter them.

Every match is dominated by Torres talk. I just hope he silences his critics soon enough. People forget he's a brilliant player and I still can't believe we've got him.

He could have scored when he broke, but passed to Frank instead. Kinda frustrating.

Indeed. Hopefully a different side will walk out.

Can't tell if this is sarcasm or not.
