Don't know why but I'm not as nervous about this game as I was against the Napoli away game.

Cosimo · 27 Mar 2012 at 19:41

That eagle looks hungry.

Cosimo · 27 Mar 2012 at 20:03

Ramires looking good.

Cosimo · 27 Mar 2012 at 20:05

That was close.

We need to get mata into the game more.

He's very quiet tonight.

Cosimo · 27 Mar 2012 at 20:16

Haha good old David.

Cosimo · 27 Mar 2012 at 20:28

Benfica not finding it easy at the moment.

Cosimo · 27 Mar 2012 at 20:32

That will do 0-0 at half-time.

Cosimo · 27 Mar 2012 at 20:51

Nicely off the line.

Off the line there. Chelsea lucky to not be behind.

The goal line was covered.

Cosimo · 27 Mar 2012 at 20:55

Kalou should have done better.

Cosimo · 27 Mar 2012 at 21:03

Mata how did you miss.

Robbo said:
They were lucky there, that was a handball from Terry. Stonewall penalty.

.

The ref and the rest of us didn't think so. Looks like you need some glasses.

Cosimo · 27 Mar 2012 at 21:10

Nice save by Cech.

Cosimo · 27 Mar 2012 at 21:15

Robbo said:
The officials obviously didn't see it. Terry had both arms outstretched either side of him (not down by his side) and it stopped a decent cross.

That's a penalty in the official rule book. Stonewall.

Of course it wasn't. The ref was right in that situation. You would have made the wrong judgement from your armchair.

Cosimo · 27 Mar 2012 at 21:17

KALOU. 0-1

Cosimo · 27 Mar 2012 at 21:28

Should have made it two.
