It's 13:00 CET, that's 12:00 UK time! You can watch it live audio and video on uefa.com! Can't wait...

To "get rid off" is a bit harsh to say, but I think CFC should go through intense changes over the summer. First thing first: Grant - With him we can only be the 5th , or even 6th team in the lague, and not because of him but because of the quality of individual skills of some players! He is useless as a manager! Regarding the players: Sid, Pizarro and Beh-Haim are certain to leave, and I am sure they realise that already! Now, I might get slammed for this, but I believe a change is needed at the "top of the hierarchy" to refresh the squad and to start changing the current generation. With that in mind, Drogs and Lamps should be allowed to leave if a good offer comes along. Don't get me wrong, I respect what they did in their CFC career, but their attitude and performance are starting to affect the overall performance of the team! But, first thing first...Avraam has to go! We will never win important games with him in charge!

I voted Shaun...but didn't see you have put Grant in there! It has to be him, so I am changing my vote!!! What an idiot, more...he's a f'n wuss when it comes to changing tactics and players...An utter imbecile all around!!

Ditto!! Which game was more boring: this one or the last one against Liverfool?

Well...Hats of to AG if this is true. I must say, a clever and respectful move! Why...? If you look at the players (Alex and MB) who played in their positions (JT's and Lamps') I must say that they were the best Chelsea players in the last month or so! For me, playing either pair would be great... What troubles me is the attack and how he will manage that! Nevertheless, I suspect a score-draw!

Don't tell me Chelsea transfer activities are all about being spectacular!? I, for one, am happy with the activities done during the transfer window: one experienced (Nic) who has already shown his worth, one needed as a backup (Ivanovic) and one to be a future star (Di Santo)...Our squad is already huge! You cannot just go around spending sh*tloads of money just because we are prone to injuries and because Roman can afford it. What will happen in the end when the are all healthy? You will have a reserve team better than most of the premiership teams, but not playing in the first team! I think the team is coping very well at the moment...One thing they have to learn (cough, Shaun, cough) is how to score when given a clear chance...better to say, 2 chances!!!

Maka for me! Those 2 paces and his presence allover the midfield was great! Two bad (i.e. shameful) Shauny missed both chances! Bridgey did a great job as well!! The game should've ended 4:0 at least!!

After just first two words of this "article" I started laughing!! "Pretty blonde"?????? Where is that prettiness?? Maybe for Avram Grant or extremely pissed Cashley...but, she's as ugly as an Orc! !! p.s. Don't mind Cashley being on the sidelines now...Bridgey was always my favorite one!!!

Did you notice Mikel's tackle on Kalou, which Kalou fortunately avoided? That kid never learns...

Interestingly enough, no one mentioned Ben-Haim or Pizarro...they are my two picks for the most disappointing players this season. Essien, Lamps and DD have played bellow their requirements, but not badly enough to be called "the most disappointing".

Well, not anytime soon...but, probably in a month or so, when he returns from Africa's Cup!!

Without repeating myself...just read my initial post for this topic!! Am I right, or am I right?

If the entire team were to play awful for the rest of the season, Cech would be the last person that I would blame. He has saved our skin on so many occasions that his credit is infinite! :) Apart from that one flop vs Villa, he is still doing a great job...

I don't know if it has been mentioned/discussed...What was Mikel doing arguing with Sheva about taking that free kick? It was instantly obvious to me that Sheva should take it...and he did well (remember Ukraine vs Italy). It was also obvious that Lamps would blew the free kick in the first half!

Some of you got off the topic here! I never said we should sell him, he has a great potential! But, a proper slap or two from someone should do the trick!

Sorry for being blunt here...But, how many red cards does he need to get in order for him to understand that you cannot tackle people with two legs from behind (referring to West Ham game)??? He should have been sent off...no question about that!!! He was doing the same thing when he first arrived and JM disciplined him for that strongly and he understood the message. Now, he is back at it again! And, I don't think AG has any authority in that mater. Don't get me wrong. He is a great player, and the 2nd half he played extremely well...but, someone has to put him on the ground and let him know he cannot behave like a mongoloid moron on the pitch!! Again, sorry...but he really pissed me of with that tackle!!

Being a Bosnian, a Croatia neighbour, I often have opportunity to watch Croatia play as well as Dinamo Zagreb. Luka is a great talent and a really constructive player. In comparison to how he would fit into CFC and Premiership I think he would have a tough time adopting to the extremely physical game. Nevertheless, a year or two and he would be a great addition. I would say we could be having another Joe Cole type of story...struggle at the beginning and then boooooooooom!! :)

I agree with your views on Lamps' role at the moment. But, for the "passing and holding the ball" process I still believe it was JM who initiated it at the beginning of season. Remember the pre-season friendlies, especially the one vs Feyenoord? We drew, but still Jose was happy because the idea from the majority of those friendlies was to get used to passing the ball more often and controlling it. Nevertheless, I still need to see managerial skills put in action during the game. Valencia, Schalke, Everton etc....eveything was more/less the same from the beginning to the end. Plus, he has yet to prove that he can manage the team with one man down and he already had 2 games with that scenario. As you can tell...I am quite sceptical...

Ladies and gents....this is how you lose trophies! I am quite pissed of with the end result. Not so much because we drew, but because management of the team did nothing to hold onto the 1:0. I mean...as soon as I saw the bench line-up I knew we were not going to hold for the entire 90 mins. C'mon...the point of the bench is to replace players who are not performing well, are injured or to adopt to new tactics. What in the hell are Kalou, Pizzaro and Sheva doing on the bench at the same time....as if Avram ever thought of bringing them on at the same time. And, there is the "Ben-Haim" problem...I am really starting to dislike him and fear his presence on the pitch as much as I did last year with Boula. Avram....I couldn't care less for you not losing 11 games in a row. To be honest, I haven't seen anything in your tactics as being "your" tactics. Everything, so far, was strictly "copy/paste" JM tactics. At least, Jose had guts to put everything in the attack or defence if needed...but, your tactics stay the same from the minute 1. And, now that your are going to be paid annually almost as much as Jose.....one big double f**k you

Someone used to post video links of the goals only minutes after it happened....do you know where I can see it, since I am not able to watch live streaming at the moment??

Where in the hell is Shaun???? Is he injured or what? IMO, and many others', our best player this season....until Jose left! Now, I barely see him on the bench, not to mention starting line-up!!!

Very happy with the draw....not so much with the CFC performance, too many slip-ups!!

Regarding GJ, I believe that he has matured...I remember him playing 2-3 years ago...he was a joke for us (remember that miss against Man U when he was alone in the box?)...But, looking at him now, I think that he looks promissing....not the No.1 option, though! Off the topic: Nice to see more and more of my countryman on this forum....Go Bosnians, go...."Kol'ko nas ima, jebote kol'ko nas ima!!!!" :)

I've just noticed that there is new font used for the forthcoming premiership shirts! Looks OK, but I really love the ones being used so far... Any thoughts? p.s. Ah, marketing just has to spoil everything for the sake of more profit! I hate my own profession... :)
