this is me right now thanks for @Stingray for turning me into a meme. I think it's fitting. I may be drunk... although I haven't drank even water today and I don't drink alcohol...

Liverpool's defense is a joke. We'll beat them at the Anfield, that's for sure

Cardiff goal!!!!! Liverpool hasn't seen the ball yet Yeah, they're already feeling the power from the Blues... It's too much for amateurs to handle sorry, wrong thread, but I'm fucking high on football porn one of the main reasons I don't want him to go isn't even for him to stay, but Barça desperately need to fix their defense, La Liga style as well as the team will fit Luiz's own style as a glove. I want Barça to be ruined, not fixed. He has to stay, even if we keep him as a squad member. I don't care.

lapse of memory on my part. I'm too excited to think properly. But I'm aware he can't play, thanks My point is Luiz should be in our pivot, no Ramires, pls. no, that's Beyoncé, but she knows her colors

I voted for Matic as the man of the match, but well, I was divided between him, André and Azpili, all of them were amazing in different things. Oscar also had a great match imo, but a step down from these guys. I think André had the best match for us, it never ceases to impress me how his surrounding, movement and space awareness is top class. He's really one very smart player positioning himself and getting into the right spot, at the right time. That's instinctive and really, something we should cherish and explore more effectively. Matic is absolutely a giant! I mean the guy has it all. He's strong, big, technical, tackles like a boss, passes like a maestro. His assists were out of this world and he even has a great finishing. I think the partnership with Luiz is PERFECT and I'm happy we gave them 60-70 minutes today, we'll need them to be in synch when we play PSG in a couple of weeks. Azpili is a monster. Really. The guy is the kind of player that you just love to have in your team. Technical, with a lot of clutch and heart in his presentations, he's the perfect player imo. His tackles - one of them in what could have been a deadly Arsenal counter (don't remember who he's tackled) was beautiful, stuff of legends. Oscar really played well imo which will shut some people for five minutes about two very stupid things: 1) Mourinho doesn't play him in big matches 2) Oscar doesn't play in those. He's been really good today, and not only the goals. I have to concede it to remains of the day. She killed it in Oscar's thread saying that Willian and Oscar are too much of the same to play to together and they end up worsening each other. She's absolutely right. I think Luiz had a good match too, and the partnership with Matic is my fave given the options we have - both for EPL and UCL Eto'o is absolutely a genius, I hope for everything that is sacred that he's ready to play at least the next home match we have. Torres wasn't half bad as he uses to, sort of filled Etoo's shoes, but it's still a letdown. As long as he continues to play smartly while Samuel is off, I won't be too much on his back. I think Hazard didn't even need to play his usual and that's how it should be. We shouldn't overload the boy to carry us. Don't take me wrong, he had a good match (who didn't?), but he didn't need to create his usual magic for us to slam them. I think it comforts him and it gives a lot of confidence to the other guys. The defense is really good again, Cech was proved and was there for us. I'm so happy for Salah's goal. Words can't express how happy I'm for the kid. He looks so cute in our jersey and his pace is unbelievable, my eyes almost can't catch up with him. Perfect day, amazing feeling for the remainder of the season, I think the win against Gala sealed everything for us. We're highly motivated and we're a force to be reckoned with. If City wants to have a chance here they better step up, we aren't dropping any points anymore, not even to Liverpool.

had to split in two, way too many gifs to post. I was getting tired and the bosses are happy! Well, not all of them

Come on boys, we need a couple more

the support has been awesome through all of this. Specialist in failure chant is made of win!!!!!

this is fucking PERFECT!!!! SALAH!!!!

OSCAR!!!!!!!!!! the boy who can't play in big matches according to some here or who Mourinho doesn't trust in them

I'll repeat my words from when the lineup was released: this is by far our best starting XI. Torres isn't compromising at all and is somehow filling Etoo's shoes well (but Etoo is still our best option)

nah, I bet he does it only against clubs that can't win titles

our best chance of scoring tons of goals among all matches we still have is the next 45 minutes. Let's make it 7 or 8. Clean sheet needed though

what was that long pass by Azpili straight in Schurrle's chest? This is the morale we need to win this damn thing. I knew the win against Gala would bring us the extra motivation we needed. woohoo

Squawka Football ‏@Squawka 36s Chelsea have scored more goals (4) than Arsenal have had shots (3) so far. #CFC LOL

OSCAR!!!!!!! 4-0 Let's make it 6

I'm not even sure he'd be that much bothered tbh. He'd still have his fat check...Also the main implication is that I hope he leaves and once it happens I wish him well. But if he stays I hope he's striker #4 at least.... which is almost Malouda treatment. A 4th striker would basically only train with the main team. Wouldn't even be at the bench for 80% of the matches. Anything so I won't see him wearing our jersey.

A lineup far superior to the one we played against Villa. I believe that's our best starting XI in general.

new way to say Arsene is a specialist in failure José is always amusing Any links to his entire press?

Fuck sake (pardon my FRENCH) but why is it so hard for some people to get the basics? If you look back the last 10 pages, sane people are trying to make very simple points. 1)There isn't a clear favorite in this tie, therefore there's no upset regardless of who wins. 2) Ligue 1 was, is and probably is always going to be a second tier league. No matter how much money one team may have, the league will hardly strengthen, saying such isn't a lie and shouldn't be an offense. 3) The fact that PSG is playing in a second tier league doesn't make them worse than us, just less tested, less experienced, just less used to having to face big sharks. They don't have that confidence that comes from beating big teams because there are no big teams for them to beat. Psychology is one the biggest aspects of games at this stage. 4) The fact that some of our players come from Ligue 1 doesn't make Ligue 1 better. If it was better they wouldn't leave the country and go to England, Spain or Germany. The best thing about this tie though is how little attention it'll get and along with little emotional investment. There's no drama like Mourinho facing RM or Pep Guardiola. There's no nostalgia, excitement and precaution like playing Barça. There's no ill feelings about facing Courtois off. There's no media games minds on us like playing United. The only comparable is Dortmund and even then I'm sure there would be some lines about Mourinho facing the team that put his RM to shame last season in the first leg. This is the most neutral, unattached and even low profile QF. Everyone will keep their eyes elsewhere for one reason or the other. Given our position in EPL and what's at stake there, I think the lack of attention is just what we needed. There won't be too much spotlight on Mourinho and the boys. JUST DO IT, CHELS!!!

Forums are always a surprise. You click on a thread about something and bam, nothing you ever expected reading comes across you. Some pages of this thread were hilarious. As for my take of this. I'm one of those who may underrate PSG, but I've said way before we drew them that they're overrated imo. So I think we have the slight edge here. They have some players better than we do (Silva, Cavani and Zlatan) and we have a way better defense and Hazard. If we have Luiz in the pivot, we also have a better midfield than them. Oscar is better than Lucas ALL NIGHT LONG, but current form, I'm not sure if he is - one more reason for him to get his shit together soon. RM is going to eat that Dortmund team for dessert given how many players Klopp doesn't have for the first leg. Bayern will eat United like the man who's saved money for months to go to a brothel: front, back, up and down.
