Really enjoying the scenes of the Luton Town players going potty in the dressing room after having beaten Norwich.
Good morning, BD. I hope Leeds can replicate Luton's fantastic achievement.
Ah - the magic of the Cup. Players coming out at the tiny Brentford ground. That what makes this competition so great.
Rafa opting for a relatively strong side today.
A very early morning to you, MUR - great to have you on board.
It is pitch dark outside . Up earlier than the roosters this Sunday morning
This is a local derby, An all West London cup tie.UWE Risler the manager. Brentford defetated none other than Capital One Cup kings, Bradford, in the last round
We're off from Griffin Park. Turnbull starting for Cech and Marin for Hazard.
Right then - kick off time! Come on, you Bees!
Still dark here, as well. But nice, bright day in West London.
I heard Norwich lost yesterday because they were in Bedfordshire.
Indeed they were - Chris Hughton not at all happy with his charges. But what about Harry Redknapp? You could see the steam coming out of his ears!
Cashley with a cross that went across the box, but no takers
Oh - Cashley got behind his man and sent over a dangerous cross. Torres wasn't on the same wavelength.
I actually agree with Harry. There were no excuses. A similar response from Sgt Jol.
OScar drags an effort wide from a pass from Marko Marin.
Luton the first non league team to win away to a top flight side since Altrincham won at Brum in 1986.
I notice that you and Gooner chose Chelski to win the FA Cup this year. So you'll be hoping for a big win for the Blues today, right?
Not too early for Fred to get into mischief.
I am hoping for four replays so Chelsea can have fixture congestion before they win!
A cracking atmosphere at Griffin Park - the locals are certainly loving it.
What shenanigans is Fred getting up to?
Tackles flying in from the Bees. That must sting!
He was under the telly digging into something. Now he's in front and back digging
Brentford getting into a shooting chance for the first time. Trotter shanked it.
First Brentford attack and Trotta shoots well wide.
Well, well - a hospital ball back from Terry to Turnbull and he's picked it up. Indirect free kick within the penalty area to come.
How can an experienced player like JT be such a numpty. Actually Tunbull should know you can't catch a back pass. Indirect free kick in the box to Brentford.
Forrester lining this one up....
Oh - Forrester rifles it well over the bar - shame.
Forrester shoots well over from the free kick.
I'm sure Raffa will claim Turnbull was not at fault. He will claim his poor keeper was not informed of the rule and was being bullied,.
Blimey - a foul throw called against Ivanovic. Don't see that very often.
Another high one from Forrester . Chelsea players seem a little intimidated by the atmosaphere
Forshaw wins a corner off of Ramires.
The corner fails to leave the ground and is belted away
Brentford keep possession until a foul is called.
Trotta flagged offside
Brentford's tails are up after that backpass incident.
UWS in Bedfordshire in honor of Luton's shock win
A local derby vs Chelsea is a great motivator too. The Bees are also challenging for promotion to the Championship
Torres had a chance to play in Bertrand but his delivery was overcooked.
Brentford have survived the initial period with some ease. Let's see if they can build on this opening.
Hard to tell which is the EPL side.This is a lot like the match at Carrow Road yesterday
Ivanovic wins a corner off of Logan
The corner from Marin fails to beat the first man and is headed away
Well wide by Forrester after some stinging tackles from the Bees.
The Bees are more than holding their own. Torres hasn't had a sniff.
Fred had a long kip in the castle during Luton's upset victory. he deserves credit for his Bedfordshie antics!
I agree, BD. The League One players have done better than Torres.Raffa has Ba and Mata in reserve while Hazard is on vacation!
Horrible free kick from Lamps.
Most of the Brentford attacks seem to be coming down this muddy left hand side through Trotta.
Useless pass from Marko Marin
Oh - Forshaw with Brentford's best effort yet, just past the post.
OH! Just wide by Forshaw off a nice run and pass from Trotta. It all started with Marko Marin gifting possession, then Forrester shot just wide.
That magic castle looks a good place for a long nap.
Some scenarios: If this goes to a replay and Chelsea win the replay then Hazard is eligible to play on Feb 24th at the Etihad. I will be a Chelsea fan that match. If Chelsea lose today then Hazard does not return till mid March
Half an hour gone and you would still think that the red and white stripey outfit was the Prem team.
Paul Buckle and Scott Rendell sure took advantage in that upset win
Absolutely , BD. The Bees have been the better team. An older Chelsea fan getting some kip. That says it all@!
I'm sure Raffa will be telling his Chelsea players @!*#$^^@F@N at the half for this haphazard , so called performance.
Chelsea players can't use this pitch as an excuse. They were far worse in the 70s.
Pathetic pass from Torres on the break
Forshaw straight at Turnbull as Chelsea failed to clear
Poor foul by Ramires on Forshaw and lucky not to be booked.
Another nil niller for Chelsea. As Elton John sang" That's Why They Call It the Blues."
Never a foul by Forrester. Ivanovic was simply out muscled.
GOAL!!!!!!!!
Trotta does the unthinkable - he's put Brentfod one up to the European Champions!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
1-0 BEES AS CHELSEA CONCEDED POSSESSION, TURNBULL SAVED FROM FORRESTER AND TROTTA SCORED THE REBOUND.
Brentford deserve their lead and Lampard was the one who gifted possession.
Poor by Chelski's millionaire defenders and by Turnbull who parried Forrester's shot weakly to Trotta.
Cahill deservedly booked for a poor tackle on Logan
Now Cahill scythes into Forrester - yellow for him and a free kick to come. Chelski are not enjoying their derby day at all.
Free kick just outside the box.Now Chelsea break through Oscar. Nice pass from Osacar, but poor attemopt by Ramires and easily cleeared. One minute of stoppage time.
I would definitely put Mata on for Lampard who is clearly off the pace.
A shock 1-0 lead to Brentford at the half , which they definitely deserve
Peep peep - a cracking first half comes to a close. Uwe Rosler's Brentford go in one up. Fantastic!
I think that change is coming as Raffa is having a word with Mata. Either Lampard or Ramires will probably come off.
Hey Boys
I am here.
I was a little RVW but I did see the Brentford goal
WOW
I just saw the stats... they deserve it!
Who are these plonkers that FSC have working today?
First there was a woman who sounds iffy. They there was this bloke who is clueless! He said Luton beat Nor Wich and later Liverpool play Old Ham
If you work for the channel... don't sound ingorant!
Here they are coming out for the second half. They have to walk across the pitch to the benches ala Craven Cottage
Chelsea still to win 6-1?
God morning, UWS. I agree completely.
We're back out at Brenford and for once a Premiership manager has admitted things aren't going well by throwing Juan Mata on
The second half is underway from Griffin Park
The Sun is really annoying for the TV
I had called that one before the half , BD.I said he would be on for Lampard or Ramires
Morning, UWS - sounds like the custodians were left in the building overnight at FSC and decided to do their own show. I missed it as I was having a power nap while listening to 606.
They haven't seen it for weeks.
It's Marin who got the hook instead.
well wide by Ramires. I guess he took off Marko Marin, who was another Plonker.
Good Morning LOB .
Well its actually afternoon .
Raffa looked pissed coming on to the pitch and quite right too. Not a shot on target the entire first half vs a League One side.
SHOCKING!
Good morning Tony. How are you? Or should I say good afternoon?
Brentford have started the second half the way they finished the first.
Afternoon, Tony - what a match this is, eh?
Free kick to Chelsea just outside the box.Lamps to take.Pathetic free kick easily blocked. Oscar had a shot blocked too and easily cleared
I'm good thanks MUR . How about you ?
A free kick by the touch line.The free kick by Mata is fumbled the keeper then caught
Hey Bruv
Great to have you comment
1309:
BREAKING SPURS TEAM NEWS- Leeds v Tottenham (1400 GMT)
Tottenham field a strong side, with Gareth Bale, Aaron Lennon and Clint Dempsey all starting
Are you able to see this match Tony?
Doing great. Thanks Tony.What do you think of this match?
Torres has been useless since I have been watching
Chelsea seem more committed the second half.
He was the first half too. The League one players have done better than Torres.
Jonathan Jurejko, BBC Sport at Elland Road
Leeds v Tottenham (1400 GMT)
"Matchdays at Elland Road generally don't have the same buzz as a decade ago when Leeds United were riding high in the Premier League - but that big game feeling is back as Tottenham roll into West Yorkshire. A crowd of 30,000-plus is expected and the general mood among the home fans packed into the Leeds pubs is one of cautious optimism."
GOAL !!!! 1-1 GREAT FINISH BY OSCAR AS THE BEES FAILED TO CLEAR A ROUTINE CROSS.
Bugger!!
Oscar ties it up... nice goal
Now they're going to score five more!
Ah - well. Oscar levels it. Nice turn and finish.
1-1
It should be a cracking atmosphere at ER! Moore with a save from Mata
Mat close to scoring number 2
Don't give up on the Bees yet.
Not good
Ian Dennis, BBC Radio 5 live senior football reporter at Elland Road:
"Confirmed Becchio NOT involved for Leeds."
The big Argentine handed in a transfer request on Friday...
I think Raffa gave them the hairdryer treatment at the half. He should have after that awful first half.
Do you think Warny and Becc don't get along?
I fear that is why he wants to go
BUGGER!!! It will be tough without Becks.
I don't think so. I think he wants a shot at EPL footie.Could go to Sotton with the new Argie gaffer
I didn't expect Becchio to play today. Warnock has publicly criticized him for encouraging the side to play a long ball game to him.
Corner to Chelsea The corner from Mata is headed out for another
I've been trying to comment but it won't let me for some reason .
I have no TV coverage and my portable radio has no batteries .
Blimey - I'm lost the feed on FSC! Oh - they're back. That was odd.
and the satelitte goes on the fritz
The corner is cleared and some bloody technical difficulties.
They are back on. FSC winder why they lost the EPL rights to NBC!
I'd sell Warny and keep Luc
Nice attack from Brentford, but a wayward cross from Forrester
I would too.
Still worried about NBC's coverage. We give FSC some grief but they are showing us a triple header today. Five live games in two days. Will NBC do that?
I fear not
Warny won in his last meeting vs AVB as QPR defeated Chelsea 1-0, but he was playing against nine men
Oscar is trying to take on Brentford on his own.
A long Chelsea possession and Oscar drags a shot wide.
Useless cross from Cashley
Bringing on Mata and the hairdryer treatment from Raffa seem to have made the difference.
The Bees and the Blues having a spot of head tennis.
Would the Brentford players want to win this match and possibly lose in the tne ntxt round to MK Dons away OR would they want the draw and get to play at the Bridge?
Why not play with two strikers vs a League One side?
I don't think Brentford want a draw because that would congest their schedule as they are challenging for promotion from League One. My guess is that they would want to win today
That is just like when England were wondering who to play in the holding midfield and they were playing Trinidad and Tobago
I saw your post about NBC? FSC is losing the rights to the Prem. Wouldn't they still have FA Cup rights?
Forsahw shoots high and wide as a Brentford corner was cleared. It started with horrible keeping by Turnbull
I hope so
Tom Adeyemi on for Trotta
Penalty to Brentford - what drama!
Penalty to Brentford... yellow to the keeper!
Turnbull gets a yellow for that - could have been red.
PENALTY BESS AS TURNBULL FOULS ADEYEMI WITH A RASH CHALLENGE IN THE BOX. TURNBULL BOOKED.
Under 20 to go... can Brentford the lead....... YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Forrester to take....and scores!!!!! 2-1!
I said sorry to Tony and he said he truthfully he doesn't give a monkey!!
GOAL !!!! 2-1 BRENTFORD AS FORRESTER TUCKS AWAY THE PENALTY AND THE HOLDERS ARE HEADING OUT
EFF OFF DESMOND!
Tony can't seem to keep connected to LOB... he is still reading our comment though
He's a plonker!
that is just to check if he is really reading!
The holders to go out in disgraceful circumstances?
15 minutes for Chelski to dig this one out.
Be nice to Tony!
Popping in to say come on you Bees!!!
Clayton Donaldson flagged offside.He's been a better striker than Torres today
I am... I am letting him sleep on my computer... aren't I
Good morning Someone. I agree 100%
Good point, UWS.
Ivanovic wins a corner.
This is going to be a long 13 minutes for the Bees
Chelski laying siege to the Brentford goal now - Cahill with a bike! Saved.
Brentford fans are loving it!
Two wayward crosses a header from Lamps blocked and Moore saves a bicycle kick. Typically frantic cup action.
GET LOST DESMOND!
Azpiletqueeta on for Ivanovic.
Yes.. he is reading this!
Azpielcuitia on for Ivanovic. Why the bloody hell is Ba left on the bench?
The goalscorer Forrester is sacrificed for more defensive cover. He's done his job.
Harry Forrester ,the scorer , has been subbed.
Lamps wins a Chelsea corner.
The corner is headed out
Ba is about to come on... Ba to the rescue
Oh - how did Bertrand miss that chance!?
Ryan Bertrand heads well wide with a free header from a cross by Azpiecuietia
Demba Ba replacing him now - you're off son.
Ba on for Bertrand because Raffa finally got his finger out of his ass.
Bugger! Torres levels it again. 2-2.
Under 10 to go
BUGGER.. Torres scores
I THOUGHT DESMOND WASN'T INVITED!!!
Why is Ba on so late?
DESMOND AS TORRES SCORES TO TIE IT UP!NICE PASS FROM LAMPS AND BA SET UP TORRES.
Ba did well - good strength and Torres finished sweetly for a change.
Nice finish... made by Ba's pass from the ground. reminds me of Balo's pass to Aguero for the Championship winning goal
Come on, the Bees!!!
Desmond wasn't . A kick in the goolies for Desmond!
I fear that Chelsea are going to win this
Sam Saunders on for Adam Forshaw
Watch Chelsea making another BLOODY CUP FINAL AGAIN after almost going out today!
I hope not.
That would help me in the PPP.
If this goes to a replay and Chelsea win the replay then Hazard would be available on Feb 24th when Chelsea play at the Etihad.
GET INVOLVED
Naveenkd23 on Twitter: "Big shock at Griffin Park: Torres SCORES!!!"
The day of the Capital One Cup Final! IRONIC!
Good point MUR
Moore saves easily from Lamps. Definitely a big shock.
That would mean that three of the six matches that he is banned will be in the FA Cup!
Come on Brentford... hold on
Ta, UWS. Bob thinks the loss of Hazard may not be that important as he has had a loss of form since the beginning of the season A decent point too.Mickey Hazard always seemed to behave. Why not this edition?
Desperate defending now by the Bees.
Correct, UWS.
Yeah - that's my hunch. Chelski have plenty in reserve without Hazard.
How much time will be added.. 3 minutes
That's the basic time added
