"I am sorry for the fans. We only started to play after 20 minutes."
Typical... so he's saying the plan was to walk away with a point a FT with it being 0-0
I never noticed that either, we didnt play any of the game.
To be fair, you were always up against it when Tevez left the pitch. He is always up for it, most of your lot never are, same as ours at the moment.
We won't win this weekend... its a mentality problem we are having and it could take donkeys years to change, I just hope we don't make it as easy for them as we did for Liverpool.

They're in great form at the moment. Almost definite PL winners. I don't fancy your chances without Tevez. What's the news on him? Hamstring wasn't it?

Yup, torn hamstring... could be out for the rest of the season, will wait and see what happens.
2 weeks i'm reading this morning,
I'm not bitter, like I say I was devastated when he left. But he ruined any legacy he ever had at Liverpool with his ramblings to the press. I'm not bitter, I honestly don't believe Torres will ever hit his previous form again, and i can honestly say I would rather Carroll and Suarez over Torres.
Managed to see all 3 goals before turning back over to Coronation Street
.
Looking forward to tonight!
Thompson said on Saturday that Mourinho would be interested in managing Liverpool? what happened to his loyalty to King Kenny
.
Do you think so Joe? I don't think Kenny sees it that way! I actually think that he caused a lot of trouble behind the scenes for Hodgson. He made it clear before Woy got the job that he wanted it and once he didn't get it I suspect that he agitated and undermined him at every opportunity. After all at Anfield they hang on every word that Kenny says.
Not that Hodgson didn't cause a lot of his own downfall with results and style of play but still.
Afternoon all. I can't decide who I want to lose most tonight 
From an Arsenal pov I would prefer to see Chelsea thump the Mancs in the league rather than the CL but I have a sneaky feeling that the Blues may well cause an upset tonight.
Course I am always wrong which I why I don't bet!
Bollox to it... I expect us to go all out for Sanchez in the summer.

Darlo, way O/T but what happened to Shameless, it seems to have vanished half way through.

Well nowt obviously but you know, hope springs eternal and all that!! Afternoon RZB, think you have a chance tomorrow night?

if none is a chance we have one, It's all about damage limitation and enjoying the ride, We stayed in a lot longer that i thought we would have, I've always been and always will be
lukewarm to the C/L, To most it's the holy grail, to some it's an obession, give the the run of the mill league anyday. My worst fear was for the tie to be over after the first leg, and it happened.
Yeah I know what you mean but never say die eh? I actually think that most of your players are as good as Madrids on their day, you have some real quality in the side and plenty on the bench. You might pull off a win but not go through - that would be something anyway.
You could have a good chance of getting 4th too. City are looking frail and it could be like last season where you go to theirs and do them for the 4th spot.

Our form is not a patch on last seasons, yet we are now in the frame again, I don't think we'll do it, we go to 2 teams we always seem to roll over against in Chelsea & Liverpool, plus City is a tough one, Arsenal at home is follwed by 3 home fixtures against teams in the bottom half of the league, In the league we've not perfomed anywhere near last season, far too many draws, We must be the only club where having 10 day plus breaks in games works against us. We played 4 league games in around 2 months, and collected only 3 points. All 4 were against teams at the bottom of the league. We could end up top 4, or we could miss out on the Europa Cup, It's a fine line.

Phil Thompson has said that Liverpool have agreed to sign Jose Enrique from Newcastle in the summer on a pre-contract agreement worth £15 million..
Bollox to it... I expect us to go all out for Sanchez in the summer.
Loads of clubs are after him. Udinese aren't a soft touch, are a selling club and have got plenty of young talent so they won't sell unless they get what they want...

£20-30mil and they will be getting him straight on the plane to Manchester

cheers Darlo, I thought they could never have got through 26 episodes by mid March, I've just looked it up, It's back the day I'm flying off to Florida I need to get some device that records by then, I'll catch up when I return,
Drogba on the bench. Roman would be better letting Ancelloti pick the team.
M6 from London is blocked apparently... Was wondering where the Yernited fans were. Good to see sky give it a mention
Within a minute of each other, Messi makes sure for Barca and Hernandez pretty much secures Manchester United's passage to the final because they'll beat Schalke no problem Semi Final.

The goal doesn't really affect the United game much because Chelsea always needed 2 goals, however if Chelse do score and United add a 3rd thats when it will come into play. I don't see Chelsea scoring. Anelka has come close a couple of times though, but VDS is an excellent goalkeeper and half-arsed shots are no use against him.
It does in the respect that as long as Man U hadn't scored, Chelsea only needed 1 in normal time to stay in the tie, but now they need 2 in 45mins = Not going to happen.
Get Torres off and Drogba on... he's not made any runs at all or made the rags defense work. Chelsea have not been too bad, again Lampard goes for a placed tap in rather than just smashing it
I reckon Ancelotti will continue with Torres in hope that he rediscovers how to absolutely murder Nemanja Vidic and get him sent off.
I told you yesterday but I was being bitter, apparently.

That international chain of chip shops you have on your shoulder regarding Torres is actually embarrassing to witness. People who know about football and analyse it know exactly why Torres hasn't scored for us despite being denied through excellent saves in the last two PL games. You don't, you're just fuelled by hatred and frankly, it's bloody tedious.
How about comparing how long Torres has gone without scoring to how long that 'big club' Liverpool have gone without winning the league.
Nani the card waving pr*ck... he's been doing it all game Its no wonder he isnt on the shortlist for PFA player of the year, one of the biggest unsporting cheats in the game today.

Just read back and seen this. We're being torn apart

How come other Chelsea players are scoring? Torres walks around with his chin dragging on the ground, he danders about the field like someone owes him something. Whatever but, I'll stop now, but I said playing Drogba up front on his own would win the game, and had he played the 90 minutes I'm sure he would have.
I said yesterday if Lampard and Essien were on the pitch we were out. Both absolutely f*cking useless again. I'm beginning to think Lampard picks the team, no other possible explanation why we keep starting him every week. Ancelotti got lucky last season, he's been exposed this year. I hope he goes in the summer.
Grats to Man U, by far the better team over the two legs.
United 2-1.
Chelsea have been really dung recently, and Prom even you will admit it. United at OT will be too strong. Chelsea need at least 2, I don't know where they are going to get the scores from- Drogba should be played up front on his own, or paired with Anelka the occasion is too much for Torres ans when you are fighting for CL you can't afford to experiment. Yossi and Ramires are looking good, Lamps is nothing more than a leader and Pen taker of late. I don't know how United do it, they are so shite but they manage to get the results.
Anyway, I'd rather see Shalka beat United then Chelsea
Wish I was a betting Woman.

Chelsea players are not scoring that's our big problem. Drogba is in the middle of a huge goal drought. Malouda's having a crap season. Nobody will pass to Torres because our midfield is too selfish and want to score themselves so instead of putting him through they take wild pot shots. Don't make out you know what's going on at Chelsea you really haven't got a clue. Your main contribution here is bitching about Torres, why don't you stick to that, mind-numbingly boring though it may be.
