1998! And a reminder of Shay Given not knowing where Dublin is.

Chelsea have frozen season ticket prices again which is nice.

In other news, Chelsea have sold only 700 tickets for tomorrow's game in Kiev. Only 100 of these have gone to UK based supporters. A chum of mine from Uzbekistan is on his way. Bear in mind that it is less than three weeks since the draw and Chelsea played Kiev only a couple of years ago so there is no novelty value but it could be our last European game of the season and we are not sure to qualify for any European competition for next year and so it is a big one.

Yes but are they hammering them into your lawn?

Same at Burnley. £17 per game for a season ticket doesn't seem too bad (although the expensive seats are £24 a game so a bit steeper).

biggest game of the season so far for us tonight, bar maybe the last citeh game, a tough bayern side hitting form in germany, gonna be difficult

if its a dull 0-0 jonny is in for a treat, any goal in the game will rule out peno's, can't see it being 0-0 though, let the buttock clenching begin

Mané has superb awareness.

His backheel goal the other week and now this one tonight. Great player.

by any chance?

Fucking hell, Messi has ripped Lyon to pieces in this second half.

happy with that result
first 10nins were a bit stodgy both teams cautious but then it opened up and we moved up a gear got the goal, it looked like coming for a little while
it was going to be tough from there for bayern, silly own goal let them back in, we managed the game well from half time and looked pretty comfortable most of the 2nd half, few sketchy moments but we saw it out
there's gonna be an all english tie in the next round ......... please not citeh please not citeh please not citeh

Sadly not. He seems a fine fellow and, I am sure, would make a great buddy. My mate is called Zafar.

Seems as though UEFA will aim for a Messi v CR7 Final.

Wasn’t he the bad guy in Aladdin?

1 in 7 chance that they'll get drawn together in the QFs
1 in 3 chance that they'll get drawn together in the Semis.

So, assuming they both win to get there, the chance of them meeting in the final is 6/7 * 2/3 = 4/7 or 57%

105 different possible draws for the QFs

• 9 of them have the 2 all English ties
  
• 72 of them have one all English tie
  
• 24 of them have no all English ties

All of which discounts the probability of UEFA using hot and cold balls.

cough
bayesian football

Is it right to assume one of those shithouse bookies will already be offering odds on an all-English final four?

Chances of Liverpool choking?

100% ..... on all fronts

They're 11/2 to win it with some bookies so that's a (1-(1/((11/2)+1)))*100 = 84.62% chance of choking.

Disney Version?
I'm also hoping he has a sibling named TopKat.

Scraped through against a dangerous Dynamo side last night. Some very worrying defensive howlers and a lack of ruthlessness in front of goal. Nine unconverted shots is wasteful. Relying on the offside trap and the referee disallowing two goals is not good defensively either.
