1-1 ... bizarrely I think we will find this tougher than PSG ... which highlights the strength of the Premiership ...

Willian and Cahill for me ... And Jose for the subs ... superb! ... Luiz the maverick woz very close to being man of the match for me too ...

Just the Perfect night ... :0) Well done Demba ... Team superb!

Yep totally agree ... Easily more of a handful and goal poacher than Torres will ever be ... Can't understand at all how Torres is above him in the pecking order ... ???

2-1 ... I think we will win but think we may (only just) come up short? ... Should be entertaining ...

Normal service resumes ... Our wonderful home form continues ... I think we will also pip PSG, at home too! However, our unpredictable away form will probably strike us down once again, at Swansea? ... Hope not, but can see us losing 1-0, or 1-1 draw there ...

Adidas providing the kit means we are stuck with the horrendous go faster white stripes on the arm ... Kills all the kits for me ... A all blue top would look so classy IMO ...

2-0 win ... good home form ... poor away form continues ...

We had little presence up front ... Neither Andre or Torres work ... Personally I'd have given Ba a try ... He certainly couldn't have done any worst and he's more of a handful to defenders, at times ... Oscar looks out of sorts still ... we can win at home, but they can score goals ... Therefore, I think the 3rd goal is the likely knockout blow ...

No, it's a bloody miracle we are even challenging with a Team with no strikers ... The Jose factor has definitely made the difference. However, the League Cup was there for the taking ... Losing to Sunderland away woz disappointing ... Plus, we have thrown the League away considering the miraculous position we found ourselves in ... The CL group stages were good. Any progression from this point onwards will be an unexpected bonus ... Our buying policy in recent times of trying to create an English Barcelona doesn't work in the Prem. Hopefully, that will be addressed under Jose's watch ... Torres continues to hold this club back ...

1-2 ... I think we will lose this but there will still be hope for the return leg, at home ...

That's it then! Title aspirations over for another season ... It's now looking good for 3rd place this year. U win nowt with Torres up front ...

If we don't win today both Liverpool and City looking good to catch us ...

Aston Villa away was the likely undoing of our title challenge this season. Our home form has been awesome, as per usual under Jose but away from home much less robust ... I don't think we will win all our remaining away games either ... whereas both Liverpool and City with their 'get out of jail' strike forces look much more capable ... I think due to having little impact strikers for most of the season has taken its toll and we will finish 3rd ... Hope I'm wrong, of course! Liverpool also have the momentum and I think may catch us ... very, very unfortunately? ... whatever happens it's been a magic year under Jose :0)

There were Chelsea/Celtic ski hats being sold during the 80s too .. a couple of lads I knew wore them in the Shed ... b4 the Rangers allegiance took off, i think .. Ignorance is bliss, as they say ...

Quality player ...

Been to a few Palace away games over the years and we usually win 1-0 ... I'd definitely take that ... will be a real battle, methinks ..

Perfecto ... Top 3 x sorted then, for this year! ... We are a much, much better Team without Rambo ...

We are really polished at home ... really good Team display ... let's hope we get a favourable next round draw ...

another close encounter ... I think we will go thro' ... but can see this going to the wire ...

1-0 ... I think we will just do it ... !

We will be stuck with Torres, again as one of our main strikers next season because no-one else will pay his ridiculous wages ... Torres knows he will never better what he's getting now and should be happy to simply run down his Contract ...

Good posts from big blue and bjd above ... spot on fellas

It feels worst today than it did yesterday ... a real blow ... ! it was a really good game and I think a draw should have been the outcome .. I'd have taken that ... However, 2 x shocking decisions ruined it ... disallowed goal? first sending of ... and certainly more cards should have been dished out to Villa players.

I think that's the game that's ruined our title chances ... the officials played their part :0( ... I can see both Liverpool & Arsenal doing better tomorrow ... I still think this Team has done exceptional to even be in this challenging position tbh ... the Jose factor has definitely made a significant impact for us this year ..
