Hope we push on and get a second, Citeh are utter s***

Just as I speak, Stevie G plays a beautiful ball to Harry who slots a beautiful finish

Badly need a bit of creativity at the final third, hope Luis comes on some time earlier in the 2nd half

Not surprised, didn't look good at all when it happened. Xabi made it looked less serious than it was when he calmly walked off the ground, the man has balls

A few loose passes from Xabi so far, so unlike him EDIT: Now he's come off for Didi, the head wound perhaps a little too serious for him to continue

We're looking all class in the middle but again, falling down at the final third

Nasty clash of heads with Alonso with Barton and Xabi's head is streaming with blood and coming off for a couple of stitches (Probably)

Moro started well, getting involved early and playing some nice passes

These rubbish links will continue to exist as long as Real Madrid are struggling and Rafa's managing us

What does Michael Carrick have to do to get a go? Oh that's right, move to a "bigger" club

Cisse's playing in a system that is completely foreign to him. Back in Auxerre, he played in a 4-5-1 side who plays on the counter, which suited his game naturally. Now he plays in a possession side that is almost the complete opposite to that which demands more allround play from a striker as oppose to a 4-5-1 where Cisse would just play off the last shoulder and waiting for a throughball or a ball over the top to run at He is not a dud as anyone's trying to make him out to be, if he plays under a GH side, he'd be scoring. His game just happens to be totally unsuitable for a Rafa Benitez side. It's as simple as that We'll sell him and he'll do well wherever he goes EDIT: And I dare say he probably gets better services from the midfield at Auxerre than he does here

What's a "strong" yellow? It's either a yellow or a red, or even, nothing. Del Horno did enough on the pitch to get himself sent off, in the end justice was done.

Been saying for ages that they've gotten away with playing basketball in the box time and time again

Pretty sure a ref blew a foul on Riise doing it once this season. Very rare to see refs blow for them, but some of them do. If there ain't such a rule than the refs during my young days playing football mustn't have known the rules

Thought there's such a rule as kicking in danger? His kick went as high as a kung fu kick, blind sided or not, those are always dangerous and definitely deserved a booking. Would only get sent off for stuff like this if it's intentional, but it certainly wasn't, but it's still reckless and bloody dangerous.

Gudjohnsen, Alonso

Chelsea will set themselves up nicely after the 1st leg because of their secret plan, Operation Stamford Beach The Russians will hoof their way to a lead, Barca should be happy if they get an away goal or two

I think it'd be Garcia playing off Crouch, similar to what we had against Betis away in the group stage

Still contributing no matter how small it might be Still a good squad player even though he's capable of much much much more than that as everyone know Don't think he'll be gone at all, if he's still doing half a job he'll stay.

Crouch is not a playmaker, he just holds up the ball and occasionally comes up with a good flick on either with head or feet, not the type you'd rely on getting a good amount of the ball in the hole, sliding good throughballs and occasionally run at defenders or even score Luis is our best no.10, but he's way too inconsistent to play there consistently We can keep buying good strikers, but at the end of the day the goals won't come if the quality of the service is still as crap as it is now.

Quite clearly we've been struggling to score goals ever since we sold Heskey I still think we lack a quality no.10 playmaker, but that's just me

Your dad's girlfriend? Oh wait, I shouldn't have asked, should I, would take this conversation nowhere I'd be surprised if Mickey is a cheater, because for someone of such high profile, some slappers would've sold stories after stories to the papers and that'd be the end of him. He seems like a family man who would look after his kids, unlike another famous Aussie sportsman who recently separated from his wife And is it just me or is the name James crap? Call his son Gilbert Owen or something... sounds way cooler
