He also went for the ruble aye :(

He is a rubbish player anyway. The culture in France must be rotten because look at some of the players the are producing:

Franck Ribery

Samir Nasri

Yan M'Vila

Hatem Ben Arfa

Mamadou Sakho

Patrice Evra

They all have rotten personalities. Some more so than others. Some not at all. But the higher proportion of arrogant Frog is ridiculous.

Well, we can really thank Inter for not progressing. Just imagine us travelling to Russia while Spurs having a week off. It's Basel for them but still, it's a game.

BUT if we progress to the FA Cup SF, we'll be facing Man City that weekend rather than Spurs which obviously means they would have a free week to prepare for that game while we'll be in Russia! :doh:

Oh look. Now Rubin Kazan is requesting the home against us to be played in Kazan, instead of Moscow where they have been playing their EL home games this season.

The venue for our Europa League quarter-final second leg away to Rubin Kazan is expected to be confirmed early next week.

Our opponents have played their knockout games in this season's competition at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, but have requested to UEFA that the game on April 11 takes place at their own Central Stadium in Kazan.

That will be subject to a pitch inspection by UEFA, likely to happen in the early part of next week.

More information will appear here on the official Chelsea website when it becomes available.

We should be strong enough to not lose either game and win this over two legs. The trip to Russia, playing in tough conditions against a decent side will give our new young players some added metal and experience to their game. This season is a learning process I think for our team to become a unit for next year. It's these big European nights which bind players together.

I'm confident we will make the semi finals and then who knows!

I simply guess there are not positive options in this mad fixture list. To think I was complaining a few months ago I hated pauses and breaks and that I want to see Chelsea every single week... :lol:

That's where we played the 08 final ain't it. Bet JT really wants to go back there. Still.... we did beat Spartak there didn't we? 2-0, that stunning Zhirkov goal. I think this gives us a better chance anyway, and looking forward to the early KO time.
