Haven't seen the Mario Gomez goals, but I bet they were all crap!

That guy could fall flat on his (_Y_) and the ball would hit him and bounce in!

Scrawny git!

Love this banner. Saw it last night and it made me laugh:



Chelsea V Napoli tonight. I'm sure Chelsea will win, but will it be by enough?

The atmosphere is going to be..... amazing!



The plastic flags have already been supplied in anticipation.

Well done to Chelsea! Saved at least a tiny bit of English pride this season.
Drogba's face must be all broken up, considering the amount of times he goes down clutching it. Great game by him, but shameful acting.

Like something off Hollyoaks!

He found a fussy ref and made the most of him.

Chelsea deserved to win though, Napoli didn't really turn up.

Not sure about the mass celebrations at FT though, looked a bit forced to me :\

That man John Terry... "Cant give a performance" "Pace will beat him everytime"...

Not being funny but him not being England captain for the Euros is going to be a crime. Much worse a crime than he is alleged off.

Cech, some great saves. Ivanovic what a performance! Last week against Stoke as well and now today. Sensational. Luiz cant defend? He isnt Barcelonas #1 summer transfer target for no reason. Drogba, I struggle to find superlatives for this guy. If he doesnt get a contract extension then Chelsea might as well flush money down the toilet. I cant think of any striker like Drogba to be better than him. Okay a bit of dramatics, but we all no Napoli would have done that 10x worse. Drogba was caught on both occassions but I admit, the first didnt strike his face. Lampard was awesome. He really is the English Xavi and what a penalty under the circumstance. Ramieres, superb. Just absoloutely amazing. The effort and workrate he puts into his performance is unreal. With him on the pitch, the rest of our team can afford to give only 80% as he gives 300% extra! Torres was great as well. Okay he missed a great chance, but it wasnt exactly simple. The chasing back as well. Essien was brilliant, Cole was also fantastic. Sturridge was good and Mata was alright but he put his shift in. Malouda done well.

Cech, Terry, Essien, Lampard & Drogba.

That was our strenght. Those players are the spine of Chelsea. AVB failed to see that. If Roman and Buck wanted to make a young team... then that has proved them wrong because whats the point? When we can compete with the best in Europe. Napoli may win the league this year and have only lost 1 game by more than 1 goal. Chelsea are the first team to beat them by 3.

Inler what a great goal that was too. Cavani didnt get a look in all game. He was well managed by Luiz and Terry. Hamsik had Essien and Ramieres on him. Lavezzi was the problem. Switching flanks, coming deep, stay up top... was always the danger man like the first leg.

Chelsea today were so much better tactically. There was form, shape and purpose.

MOTM - For me its so hard to chose, but I give it to Ivanovic. He took on more players than Mata has all season in one match! He won the penalty and scored the winner. He defended greatly and put a shift in up and down the wing relentlessly until he was shifted into centre back.

What a great game of football.

We were brilliant and deserve to win. Napoli did turn up. Napoli were dangerous. They just wernt good enough to beat us as we were too good.

I think we can beat 5 of the 7 remaining teams. Barca and Madrid the only 2 I want to avoid. Munich not ideal either but I'd much prefer them than the Spaniards! Apoel, Marsielle, Benfica or Milan.

Milan v Apoel
Madrid v Marsielle

Barca v Munich
Chelsea v Benfica

My predo.

And mine

Barcelona v Marseille
AC Milan v Chelsea
Real Madrid v Bayern Munich
Benfica v APOEL

There are three or four former AEK Athens players in APOEL, so come on the Cypriots!!

And there's a brotherhood between AEK and Marseille fans since 1989 so come on the Marseillaises!!!

Hope either of those 2 teams win it.

But I know it's gonna be either Barca, Madrid or Bayern at the end

When is the draw? Hope Chelsea get Madrid, but then again don't think I would be able to handle the special one love in. Hmmm

Marcelo Bielsa took Ferguson to school for the second time in 2 weeks yesterday.

What a manager he is. Bielsa for Liverpool! Would be hilarious watching some of his methods on our over paid stars in England. Bet they would hate him.

Draw takes place in about 20 mins.

Marseille had a great goal earlier in the day!

ata way to make last 8

Heart breaking scenes for all fans at White heart lane, Fabrice Muamba collapsed on the pitch and was getting CPR and electric shocks to try and revive him on the pitch for around 10 minutes, now got rushed to hospital and he is still getting CPR in the ambulance.

Hope for the best!

That's absolutely devastating. I hope to god he's alright.

Just seen this, hope the lads alright!

come on lad praying for you Fabrice Muamba

Thoughts with Fabrice Muamba and his family after this tragic incident, get well some Fabrice.

Indeed, hope he pulls through.

People are saying they have got him breathing again. I really hope that is true.

Heard that myself a few times, but nothing official yet.

Horrible for me just waiting to hear, I feel so sorry for his friends and fans around the world who are obviously a lot closer to him than I am who will be feeling millions of times worse.

Reports from the hospital that he is in a stable condition, great news, now lets all wish him a speedy recovery!

Thank god for that!
I had a really weird, strong feeling that he would pull through.
I just hope he gets well soon.

Anyone have a link to that info?
I don't see any updates yet.
