Good PR Terry

None of them were black, John.

(Nah, he probably meant it. But that is some cracking PR. Well done.)

t

Clarke wasn't buying it. "Anyone but Barcelona?"

Amazing night at Stamford Bridge. Terrific performance from Chelsea and from the old guard in particular. Drogba, Terry, Lampard all superb

Ramires was, by far, MOTM. No mention of him though.

[Master Splinter]

Napoli were incredibly sloppy and wasteful up front.

Their midfield was even more sloppy.

Their defence was beyond shit.

But still, they were possibly the better team in the 90, especially in terms of chances. Lavezzi was on another level to everyone else on the pitch. A bit of composure and Napoli could have won this comfortably. No way were Chelsea 3 goals better than them. Chelsea just took most of their chances. Luiz was by far their best player. The Old Boys, apart from two pieces of good play from Drogba, were as bad as they have been all season. Like the weekend, this is a good result, as it will allow the Old Boys to continue playing.

Also, Torres .

He continues to provide the LOLs at an extraordinarily high rate.

Oh and Lavezzi is even more of a Must Get™ than Dempsey.

Napoli have slapped a £100m price tag on Edison Cavani and Ezequiel Lavezzi in an attempt to ward off interest from Chelsea and Manchester City, both of whom have seen what the players can do at first hand.

For 50 mil, I'd say that is a classic case of Must Save™ first

Anzhi Magydutpuhifr87t will pay double that for Dennis Bendtner.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

1/4 draw

Benfica vs Chavs

Milan vs Barca

Apeol Vs Real

Marselle vs Bayern

Semi finals

Benfica or chavs Vs Ac or Barca

Apeol or real vs Marselle or Bayern


So the Barca vs Real final is still on.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Chelsea v Barca
Real v Bayern

Barca v Real.

IMO.

And in a one-off game anyone's trophy.

[Syn]

Great draw.

If Chelsea get through (and I think they will) they will have their Barca games in between the trip to the Emirates. That's handy.

[Marc Overmars]

Barca and Real kept apart until the final.

Uefa.

Chelsea should beat Benfica but obviously Barca would be huge favourites in the semi. That's if Milan don't cause a shock.
