Why does it always seem to be a Wednesday for Chelsea? Hate waiting.

I'm not in the mood for flag waving tonight so tomorrow is ok by me.

That was close.

 

[Cosimo]

Penalty!

 

[Cosimo]

1-0 Barca

An ominous start.

 

[Cosimo]

Yes 1-1 game on.

 

[Cosimo]

Penalty fix for Barca.

 

[Cosimo]

It's the new Barca penalty rule in operation.

 

[Cosimo]

Lol ref looking for a penalty. Got it right then.

 

[Cosimo]

3-1 looks like game over.

 

[Cosimo]

Is the ball in favour for Barca as well?!

They haven't found a way to do that yet.

 

[Cosimo]

Correct booking there from this good ref.

 

[Cosimo]

09 wounds still hurting ?

Not playing in Europe for another year hurting?

 

[Cosimo]

All we need now is five minutes added time from the timing wizard.

 

[Cosimo]

We'll have another cracker at Stamford Bridge tonight. I'll make sure to wave my flag for the TV cameras.

 

[Cosimo]

OCUK flag!?!!

No chance. I value my life.

 

[Cosimo]

Chelsea: Cech, Ivanovic, Luiz, Terry, Cole, Ramires, Mikel, Lampard, Kalou, Torres, Mata.

Subs: Turnbull, Essien, Drogba, Meireles, Ferreira, Sturridge, Cahill.

 

[Cosimo]

Please write "MY WORD!" on your flag as an OCUK tribute to Ray Wilkins, it will crack us all up.

I'll just ask him to say it to you during the match.

 

[Cosimo]

Now that my voice has come back all I'm going to say is we having nothing to lose now so bring on Barcelona. There have been no surprises in the CL this season and we might yet deliver one. This ain't over yet!
