So the sleepy giants crawl back to their cave lol. Do Liverpool a favour and bring Intertoto back ffs.

Hoping for a long night in Firenze.

If only Kondogbia was right footed

Read that too hahah http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2968373/Arsenal-dark-horses-Champions-League-Gunners-entering-form-right-time.html Pink ponies would suit them better. Bet Monaco could not believe their luck when they drew Arsenal. Every year, every single year, they're done on the counter haha

One tie, Chelsea is through to the last 8. Will play Atletico Madrid next.

Carrasco means "executioner" in Portuguese haha

Moutinhogoat show

Get in haha what a bullet Kondogbia

No he didn't. It's just Daily Fail seeking for attention again. And probably City paying for some rubbish articles to make their amazing performance in Europe forgotten. Roman in his first two years at the club - two consecutive Champions League semifinals. City since the Arabs took over - four seasons and could not even go through the round of 16. City is a disgrace for English football and Terry at 34 is better than Kompany at his peak. https://vine.co/u/1174365814640812032

Barsa not good enough for NASRI that's why he left the pitch after 60 minutes

Can someone explain me how come Routledge can get his ban rescinded for a similar incident, while Matic can't?? What am I missing?? Are they taking us for fools??? 2+2 for other clubs equals 4, but when it comes to Chelsea, 2+2 equals 5. FA are a joke. Barnes also getting away with it. If it was for Diego Costa, he would have probably been deported back to Spain, with English media calling for him to be banned for life. Disgusting. I think I'm going to throw up.

Frankly I wouldn't want you to get banned so that you can come back here after the 2nd leg and see us celebrating going to the quarter finals. What is like now? 4 years since the Arabs started pumping money into your club and you didn't even get a sniff at the semifinals?? Hahah It has got to be such a fabulous feeling to win the mighty Ligue One against the likes of Lyon and Marsiglia, teams with a smiliar budget to West Ham

Who are they??? I didn't hear Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern singing this to be fair. Others, such as United, Arsenal, Liverpool are irrelevant. United have invested almost 200m and they're playing worse than Chelsea U18s. And then comes the usual suspects, the moral winners of every competition, Arsenal and Liverpool, the deluded teams with clueless managers/tactics that play fancy football and never win a thing. What about Liverpool last season?? What about their all out attack tactics?? The stick Mourinho would get for blowing that lead... man, this whole forum would go into complete meltdown. What you want is a team to entertain you the way Liverpool did last season and defend the "Jose way". That's basically the perfect football team and I'm afraid it does not exist. And no, it is not called a balanced team. You can't score over 100 goals and allow only 20 with a balanced team. Not even Celtic could do it in SPL, nevermind EPL. You guys talk about opposition fans, but half of United's fanbase would donate their left bollock to have Jose at Old Trafford. This thread is quieter than a desert after a Chelsea win, but a mess after every other result. Even after a draw with an away goal that puts you in the driving seat, all you do is moan, moan, moan and fucking moan.

Another brain fart from Ramires. He is so lucky to have escaped with it, ref had a clear view on it. Penalty all day long. Sums up that ref's night though. Poor referee. No red card for Verrati, no penalty for Pastore and he kept that yellow card in his pocket like it was made from gold.

Why would he be worried when Chelsea tops EPL, can win the first trophy of the season in less than two weeks and is now favourites to reach the quarter finals in Champions League and be four games closer to the Final???

He will get out of that shit hole in the summer. Playing for richest club in the country and can't even be ahead of Marsiglia and Lyon, teams with a similar budget to West Ham and Swansea.

I'm sure he will be so proud to win the Mickey Mouse league in France once again. Poor chap should be moving abroad if he wants to have at least a shot at Champions League semifinals. How many trophies do you have outside France??????

Was going to say the same thing as Muzchap - Jose is going the safe way this season. Another trophyless season and Roman could get mad. Maybe next season, after winning the league and the Capital One, plus a long journey in Champions League, he'll be more relaxed and will reshape the defence. Or at least get them a bit higher on the pitch.

Thank God none of you fickle fans is in charge of this club. By your logic, City should win the quadruple every year because they play fancy football. Oh wait, they can't even make it to the quarter finals in Champions League with their attacking minded setup. Get a grip, you're embarassing yourselves.

They did this because they play a high line. What people don't (want to) understand is that it is impossible to control a game with only 6 players (3 midfielders, 2 wingers and the center forward) and no overlap from your full backs. Chelsea can't play a high line with Terry, Cahill and Ivanovic. Jose might be a defensive minded coach, but not a suicidal one.

Just a reminder for those moaning about negative tactics - the attacking minded team that mighty Bayern Munchen is has only had one shot on goal playing against Shakhtar on a neutral venue. I'll take this. Rather win trophies this way than bottle things at the end a la Liverpool. Courtois MOTM.

Solid team. Now let's score one or two goals :blue scalf:

I know Lucas Moura, Cabaye and Aurier are out for sure. But what about Thiago Motta and Marquinhos??? As for the others, I think Matuidi and Pastore are match fit and ready to play. What is your predicted line-up? I still think that Marquinhos will make it in the end and play at right back. Paris medical staff will do everything in their power to have him fit mainly because van der Wiel can not be trusted to be fair. Such a poor player, Hazard would make a fool out of him and Paris knows this.
