Champions league 2013-2014

Bayern are playing like f*cking eejits. That tie with Man Utd was shocking.

Real Madrid without Ronaldo is like Liverpool without Suarez (yeah, yeah, Bale, etc) but its true.

Atletico have no injury worries and a great team ethic. On hindsight this is the best tie for Chelsea to get knocked out. Conversely, Mourinho will feel insulted to lose to a non-big team so will hopefully relinquish the league campaign to ensure his ego remains intact.

Talk that Madrid won't host the 2 semi finals on consecutive nights so Chelsea might switch to Home first and our game will against the Chavs will shift to the Saturday.

@dalejohnsonESPN: UEFA has just gone back on that now and both Madrid teams WILL be at home in the first legs

Balague says Atletico may leave out Courtois just to try and keep on loan for next season as well. If that does happen then its pretty shameful to have a Semi Final of the Champions League being affected by it.

Bit of a farce this goalkeeper situation. But then Chelsea have about 40 players out on loan so it was bound to happen. Think clubs like them will force the authorities to change the loan system. Its not working fairly at the moment

Rich clubs are acting like a monopoly. Players are too greedy and too stupid to dig heels in and take moves to where they would play games

Need to sort the chelsea game asap so I can sort out time off!!!!

Thought he couldn't play anyway? Or is the rule only applicable in domestic matches?

So we play them on the 27th. I see absolutely no legitimate reason to move our game against them to be honest. Plenty of recovery time between both legs.

Yes

[G]

Yup the Sunderland one will move.

[rodo]

Better call in a favour then

[marcus50bucks]

Yup the Sunderland one will move.

It won't be the Sunderland game, they confirmed the other day that their game will not move. It'll have to be the Utd v Norwich game.

Jim White says Chelsea will be 'rejoicing' at playing Atletico. I think they may find Atletico will a VERY, VERY tough opponent for Chelsea.

Agreed, a style nightmare for them I reckon, they can mix it up either way, kind of like us in 05 but better.

Chelsea would have loved the **** Bayern served up for Utd and this Real Madrid team are absolute bottlers.

Sorry I've not been following this over the last few days.How does moving a United game help Chelsea in the league?
