Absolutely chuffed with that, we deserved the win over the two legs. We were the better team tonight by far.

This fucking Ref is worse than the guy we had in St James. Good half from us, more of the same but some goals will do nicely.

Let's hope we don't get the Norwegian Ref again.

Cisse seems to be the only one enjoying the cold. Tiote looks absolutely miserable.

I'm really looking forward to this game. If we win this game, I feel it's upwards and onwards for the team.

A bloody good fitness coach would do me. Most of our players seem to be knackered by half time.

That fucking linesman, the cunt must have been paid off by the Russian mafia.

An excellent first half, Kharkiv certainly not a push over. Both sides playing good football just the finishing letting both teams down.

Because it should be in French not Spanish.

It seems we need a decent fitness coach. If you look at Spurs, they were constantly running the whole game. their movement was much better. It's like our players are knackered after the first half.

That's awesome news that.

Anybody heard any news with Gouffran?

Very pleased so far, have to say that was an excellent free kick from Bale. Why didn't Perch jump? silly bugger. Still think we can win this one.

I really can't wait for this game today, totally excited about it. I think we will win this one 3-1, optimistic I know! I would love if we would humiliate them. Revenge is sweet.

Didn't look injured when he came off last night. Where's this from then?

That's why we need Tiote back in there. Perch is a great tackler, and keeps it simple, but he can't take players out of the game like Tiote can. Doesn't Pardew, normally give the players coming back from the African Nations Cup time off?

I think we can beat these guys so I'll go for an optimistic 0-3.

They seem to have a few Brazilians playing in their team.

When I was watching the game on TV here, Steve Harper was a guest pundit and they were questioning him about Sissoko, Harper said he walks around the dressing room with such a presence that if he looks at you and wants the ball. You give it! he doesn't need to say anything at all.

Debuchy is I think.

Jesus Christ! Pardew looks like he wants to shove his tongue down Sissoko's throat.

Him and Sissoko seem to have good understanding with each other.

That block he made at the last minute when all the Chelsea players thought he did it using the hands. The guy did his acting again with the injured stomach. I don't know who it was but they hauled him up and told him to play and stop the antics.

What a game that was, when Chelsea went ahead, I thought here we go another loss. What a come back though Sissoko man of the match and not just because of the goals, what find this guy is.

For me 10/10, I know Ba left and we'll miss his goals but I get the feeling he was a negative to the team as a whole.
