[robdog 2,084]

is it just me that believes there is hardly any media attention for this match & more attention on what l'puke, manure & shitty are doing on the last day of summer transfer season?

...pardon me for asking; but where exactly did you see this?

Lol i can't remember now sorry

Streams?! It's not working yet on FirstRow sports?

Yeah because the game is still 2 hours away.

WTF the Opening post says 17:45 BST kick off?

Well done to KieranVogel for getting the times wrong -_____-

This game is on 'free to air' in the UK (ITV), so no need for streams. Similar situation internationally I'm led to believe..

Boofuckinghoo, deal with it.

[Leif 6,006]

So. Damn. Excited.

I'll be in a really bad mood if we lose this.

I have a hunger for trophies since our CL triumph.

You're complaining just to complain. You were complaining the countdown was wrong and you were made aware it was fixed. Why the hell would you use something else? To complain.

The closer we get to match time, the more Falcao is worrying me. Confident we'll win, but we MUST set the pace and make them play on their heels like we have in our first league games.

LINEUP: Cech;Ivanovic, Luiz, Cahill, Cole; Mikel, Lampard, Ramires; Harzard, Mata, Torres

Says neither Essien nor Sturridge are on the bench.

[JDY 1,290]

No Sturridge on the bench. Heh.

the exact team i predicted! it was pretty obvious really.

[The Big Drog 1,110]

Does anyone have the bench?

[Leif 6,006]

Not at all happy about Ramires starting if true. Their left-back Filipe doesn't usually leave much space behind him, so if we counter-attack, Ramires won't get too much joy down that side.

It's also risky playing Ramires, because he's a pretty awful passer, and one wrong pass can lead to Falcao's head somehow and them leading.

Would have made more sense having Bertrand (again) starting on the left to limit Juanfran and then having Hazard down the middle; Mata right.

I'm sorry, but I think Robbie's got this one wrong.
