I don't mean to nitpick, but couldn't we hold fire on these threads till the weekend games are done?

They don't seem to have bothered anyone until now. I don't see you nitpicking when the weekend thread is posted before the Thursday games are over so you'll just have to put up with it.

Oh and you're nitpicking because you have no interest in the Champions League.

 

[Cosimo]

So, can Chelsea turn it around tonight?

Doubt it.

I don't.

 

[Cosimo]

Lots of flag waving tonight:

Chelsea FC‏@chelseafc
If you're coming to the game, there's a flag waiting for you... #CFCpics (SL) http://pic.twitter.com/GpWonBu5

I can't wait.

 

[Cosimo]

lol plastic flags.

It will add to the atmosphere. I though I'd lost my ticket but panic over.

 

[Cosimo]

We're certainly not finished yet. It's either going to be 2-0 or 3-1 with an extra-time winner for us. I'll be there just before seven to wave my flag.

 

[Cosimo]

The police are out in force so are the tv people and Napoli fans.

I did say:

We're certainly not finished yet. It's either going to be 2-0 or 3-1 with an extra-time winner for us. I'll be there just before seven to wave my flag.

Ah, yes the flags:

I have been privileged to have witnessed one of our greatest games. The players, the fans, the atmosphere and of course the result have just been amazing.

Well we're certainly not finished yet and to all the predictors of failure this year I have only one thing to say, "Blue Is the Colour". You write us off at your peril.

That’s all from a tired, hoarse, sore and extremely happy fan.

On the subject of flags and atmosphere......

''the greatest night of our lives''?

anyone would think it was the final!

It was one big step closer.

 

[Cosimo]

Dropping a striker though when we need goals?

Anyway, here's hoping.

You'll need plenty of that won't you?

 

[Cosimo]

What, hope or goals? Or both!

A lot of both and some luck!

I'm done with watching this. Time to catch up with a few recordings.
