This is going to a very quiet thread I think mate, unless we lose of course in which case the bitter berks will be dribbling all over it

 

[Robbo]

I suppose Corinthians are the only possible threat to Chelsea here, are they any good?

They finished 6th in the Serie A, were champions in the previous season and won the 2012 Copa Libertadores. They appear to be more of a threat then CF Monterrey.

Both semi-finals are live on BBC HD and behind the red button.

When Rafa took over Chelsea he had a dig at him at the fact that he could have 2 Club World Cups under his belt without having been in charge when said clubs won the UCL

Pat Nevin "Looking at Corinthians and Al Ahly, Chelsea are a long way ahead of these sides. They will tear these sides to shreds if they play with the right attitude."

Setting it up nicely for Chelsea to muck it up on the first hurdle there...

This is on the BBC website (Chelsea game) for anyone who wants to watch it.

I thought we were only going to get the highlights later on.

 

[Cosimo]

Luiz close.

 

[Cosimo]

Hazard so close.

 

[Maundie]

Luiz in midfield, seems a long time coming but he looks immense so far
