Don't YC get cleared in the QFs or is that in the SFs?

Yellow cards don't get cleared in the cl. Another masterpiece by the uefa

Seriously? I really thought they did. That's just dumb!

[Alan Partridge 1,124]

Perfect team to counter attack although, they do have pretty good defenders.

I think we will win, would take a score draw

I know I said before football isn't science but still interesting to me.

[Sidzeret 2,257]

We ought to come up with a well oiled counter-attacking machine tonight.

...........Cech.........

Ivan....JT......GC....Azpi

...........Mikel..........

.......Luiz......Rami.....

Willian.........Hazard

..........Torres.............

Eto'o automatic choice if fit.

i think 12 players are not allowed

Damn, Fixed..lol

[nyikolajevics 2,422]

I would love to see Schürrle as a striker as Torres and Ba are pretty useless. Luiz would be great instead of Lampard, the Brazilian could follow Ibra. Cavani is not that good on the right wing, I think Azpi can handle him. Ivanovic should eat Lavezzi, too.

Cech

Ivanov Terry Cahill Dave

Luiz Ramires

Willian Oscar Hazard

Schürrle

[bluesman2610 1,226]

If we are going to win our striker will need to make runs in that left channel between Alex and Kallen that seems to be the weak point in their back four.. Someone like Andre would be perfect to execute these type of movements.. Either start Andre up top or definitely in the 3 behind the striker LW with Hazard central and willian on the RW

[boshman 1,073]

Game day! So up for this one!

Come on Chels!! Lets fuckin ave em!!! :blue scalf:

[haranr 485]

LETS DO IT!!! LETS FINISH THEM COMMON CHELSEA!!!!!!

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Cant wait for the game, soo excited

A draw with goals would be great

Up blues!

[Jase 43,479]

Seriously? I really thought they did. That's just dumb!

Think that is only applied in the World Cup or European Championships or both. Can't remember all too clearly..

[Jase 43,479]

The banter continues on Facebook...

[sutro 1,026]

This will be a tough one for us, 2 teams that are more or less equal to eachoter.

Im expecting a big reaction from the team after last weekend .

They have a incredible strike force with ibra and cavani that i fear abit tbh but if JT and cahill are up for it it should be doable and lets pray that haza finds his magical form again.

Comooooon Chelsea!!!!!!!!!!

[LAM09 6,547]

Chelsea need to get an away goal IMO. A win would be great of course!

[Fulham Broadway 16,392]

Hopefully it wont be like it was in 2004. (We won 0-3) but there was a lot of trouble outside, and a proper moody atmosphere, with several Chels stabbed.

PSG then had two sets of hooligans, divided on political grounds, that hated each other as much as away fans!
