Even with the champs lge second leg you cannot see Chelsea playing anything but there strongest team The Kiev match will be a lot more difficult than some on the forum think and Liverpool next week and i cant get the 1-4 at the Etihad out of my noodle Moreover the sight of Milner rubbing it in That leaves us the League. which we is slipping away from us due to our incapability to beat anybody around us.So will somebody come forward and tell me that i am being to negative.and i wont need to get hammered to deaden the pain of a trophy less season and Manuel will indeed be at least be one trophy in hand when he cleans his desk out in readiness for Pep

Not sure if it's been mentioned but if it's a draw today the replay would have to be either on the date of the QF, Mar 12th, or if Cup replays take priority, the PL matches scheduled for 1st and 2nd March have to be rearranged. And we still have to rearrange the Newcastle away game!

w/comm Feb 22nd - we play Kiev
w/comm Feb 29th - both teams have PL matches
w/comm Mar 7th - Chelsea play PSG
w/comm Mar 14th - we play Kiev

Yup agreed just had the same argument with my Dad

And Lawrenson saying "all going to plan so far" after the first two were drawn out.

Regardless of the result I am excited to see the kids after all the moaning about them not getting any chance.

Said this would happen.

When people talk about playing kids, they mean as part of a long term squad rotation strategy.

They don't mean whacking 5 or 6 debutants out away at the current Champions.

This is yet another example of complete youth mismanagement by Pellegrini.

We are led to believe, this is the only right choice for the club.
So be it.
