Nah no way they could show that, they'd be heartless.

Just have to say well done to the medics, well done to Spurs and Bolton fans. Well done to Webb to, some refs may have played on.

Best wishes to Fabrice.

I think, ever since Foe's death it has been common practice but like anything, it's not foolproof. Alan Shearer, Robbie Savage and Dion Dublin were all saying how on top physios and medical staff are, on the players.

Big Man has given himself the day off. Honest Frank and Drogba are on the bench.

Chelsea: Cech, Bosingwa, Ivanovic, Cahill, Bertrand, Mikel, Meireles, Sturridge, Mata, Kalou, Torres.
Subs: Hilario, Luiz, Essien, Lampard, Drogba, Malouda, Ferreira.

Leicester: Schmeichel, St. Ledger, Morgan, Bamba, Konchesky, Gallagher, Wellens, Danns, Dyer, Nugent, Beckford.
Subs: Smith, Peltier, Howard, Marshall, Schlupp, Kennedy, Hopper.

Referee: Lee Probert (Wiltshire)

Chelsea 1-0 Leicester, Cahill.

2-0 Kalou

At least they can't possibly get a pub team that won't threaten them in the semi-final.

Liverpool: Reina, Kelly, Carragher, Skrtel, Jose Enrique, Maxi, Gerrard, Spearing, Downing, Suarez, Carroll.
Subs: Doni, Henderson, Coates, Kuyt, Adam, Flanagan, Shelvey.

Stoke: Sorensen, Wilkinson, Huth, Shawcross, Wilson, Shotton, Whitehead, Whelan, Etherington, Walters, Crouch.
Subs: Nash, Jones, Pennant, Upson, Delap, Jerome, Palacios.

BBC Radio 5 live summariser, and former Crystal Palace striker, Mark Bright at Stamford Bridge: "Torres has got a cheer like he's scored the winning goal in the FA Cup final itself. Every team-mate has come over to congratulate him. The whole ground has sighed a huge sigh of relief."

1534:
GOALChelsea 3-0 Leicester - Fernando Torres (67 mins)
No, this is not a typo. After a wait of almost five months (or 1,541 minutes), Fernando Torres has scored for Chelsea. He gets on the end of a Raul Meireles pass and scuffs his finish past Kasper Schmeichel and into the bottom corner of the net. Not one of his best goals, but he won't care one bit. What's the betting he will go on and get a hat-trick now?
