Closed Steaua Bucharest v Chelsea

[Milan 17,865]

Nothing to worry about. You might as well open some Pilsner now.

Trust me, I wish I had one near to hand.

I think the only way for Steaua to win this is if Chelsea doesn't care that much for the Europa League trophy. Dunno.

Don´t they have Pilsner in Olomouc ?

I just use firstrow or oleoletv.com and eventually I always find something watchable. Luckily, this one's on TV for me.

Yeah, I never have to worry about any English tournament or UCL as it is all covered. However, UEL has only one spot on ESPN and they chose Inter vs Spuds...

It is impressive really, I think Brazilians have more access to Chelsea games than the British!

Anzhi - Newcastle around half an hour in:

They do but I am in absolutely no mood to go buy one. Just a very bad day.

[YouNameIt 1,511]

I expect a VERY boring 1st half...

@becs... well, since Chelsea is playing with their top players, I think that they're taking Europa League pretty seriously.

[becs 32]

Maybe they're just trying to make it less dubious.

Poor Marin

Should've let Marin start and sub him for Hazard if not winning 2nd half

If one manager doesn't like a player, it could be the manager or the system, but the fact that neither RDM or Benitez have any interest in playing Marin does tell me something. RDM preferred Bertrand to Marin and we all know how weak Bertrand is on the wing yet I can understand why he did it. Benitez prefers Benayoun who is hardly a superstar but I can still see why. Benayoun and Marin have similar game-time this year and while neither have contributed much offensively (1 goal versus 1 assist) there has been a big difference defensively. Marin has 1 tackle, 2 interceptions, and 1 clearance. Benayoun has 10 tackles, 6 interceptions, and 8 clearances. Managers don't like players who can't contribute on the defensive end. It's one thing, if you're Mata and you're an offensive superstar, it's another for someone like Marin. I'd be very surprised if he's back at Chelsea next year.

Points for your knowledge! If anything, that would surely lift my nose up given its smell

May I point out ? Mata is Chelsea´s top player & he just might come in at 65th minute to pop one in & off we go.

The reason I believe in playing our youth players in games like today is because I'm sure a bunch of the chelsea players are already looking towards playing United this weekend.

The young guys who don't get any starts are going to play their heart out no matter what because they have a lot to prove.

[Leif 6,006]

I find it funny. Our own fans realise how awful we've been thus far in the Europa League, with quite a lot of us fearing this game; with the opposition supporters fearing this game more than us (it seems) not realising how much of a feat it was to knock Ajax (who I despise solely due to Cruyff.) out and unaware (it would seem) at how strong their chance is vs. us this evening :blue scalf:

They sure stink plenty but taste good.

[Leif 6,006]

I wish Ake was available; Feruz too. These are the games which typically make young players at top clubs.

[Innarelli 24]

Wow, first Chelsea game in ages I will have to watch via stream!

Any great ones instead of firstrow?
