Champions League Tuesday Live!

It's crunch time at Stamford Bridge tonight as Mou's side will attempt to overturn a 3-1 deficit from their first leg in Paris against moneybags PSG last week. Tune in for the CL and Championship action. I'll be looking for you round about 2:45 pm EST.

Of course, I've also got my eye on Leeds' visit to Watford this afternoon. Time to stop the rot, boys!

2:51 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Lamps has a chance to reach 250 club goals for Chelski. What a record!

2:52 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Lots of goals early doors in the Championship:

Blackburn have raced to a 1-0 lead over QPR.

The Tractor Boyz have taken the lead at Hudders through Anderson.

Bolton are leading at Donny.

Bournemouth are 1-0 up on Reading.

2:56 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

BOLLOCKS! Abdi has scored for Watford. We're 1-0 down in 9 minutes.

2:57 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

The side really seems to fancy L1 play next season. If we do indeed get a 10 point deduction, we'd be right up against it.

2:58 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Two quick goals at Charlton - it's 1-1 there with Yeovil.

2:59 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Hello Bob. I will be around sporadically this afternoon. Sorry about the score at Vicarage Road.

3:00 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Bournemouth are now 2-0 up against Reading.

3:08 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

It's a bit of a moot point, but Dortmund, last year's finalists, are facing a 0-3 deficit from the first leg against Real Madrid, my tip for the title this season.

3:09 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

That's nae good - Millwall are 0-1 up at Wigan. That drops us to 17th now on 47 points.

3:12 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Now that Leicester have secured promotion, they're throwing in the towel today. Brighton are 0-2 at the Crisps.

3:12 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

They're climbing a mountain but Dortmund have scored one through Reus.

1-3 on aggregate there.

3:13 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oh - great save by Siragu there prevents a trademark Lampard deflected goal.

3:14 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Derby are 1-2 up now at Blackpool. The goals keep flying in this afternoon.

3:15 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Ouch!
COME ON YOU WHITES! M OT!

3:15 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Lots of goals in the championship

3:19 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Crikey - two quick goals for Boro and we've got goals in each match in the Championship already.

20 goals already and we're only half an hour in.

3:19 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Argh - make that 21 goals. Leeds now 2-0 down at Watford.

3:20 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I'm here as Chelsea take the lead!
Shirley Temple scores after coming on for Hazard

3:20 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I can't believe how many goals are going in the Championship

3:20 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

So, Leeds have a new owner… is he going to sack your look-alike tonight!!!

3:21 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

GOAL! Schurrle pops in an opening goal for Chelski. One more and the Blues are in biz.

3:21 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oh - Schurrle goes down in the box and the referee has a decision to make. No pen!

3:21 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Gary Cahill had a whiff from six yards out… should have given Chelsea the agg lead!


Dortmund are TWO UP!!!!

3:22 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Ipswich two up

3:23 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Chelski really pouring it on now. What a comeback!

3:23 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Blackpool take the lead after 10 seconds… Derby equalize within a minute

Now it is 3-1 Derby… only 23 minutes in

3:24 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Boro 2 Brum 1

3:24 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Hiya, Dave - I didn't see you come on with all these goals flying in.

New owner? First I heard about it. I'm sure he or she is not best pleased by tonight's performance. Brian is surely for the chop soon enough. He's lost the dressing room.

3:24 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Could Real be going out????

3:24 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Loads of goals in the Championship!

23 and counting!

3:25 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I can't believe it - that would create havoc in the PPP standings.

3:25 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Make that 24 goals - cor!

3:25 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

How's your week been, mate?

3:26 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Hey Bob,
I wondered how you missed me
Yes, the Italian is in charge now


Cavanni in the book… out of the first leg of the semis… against United?

3:26 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Yellow card for Cavani means he's out of a semi if they get through.

3:26 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

So - they passed Massimo Ciellini on the "fit and proper." What a joke! The guy is totally mobbed up!

3:27 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I can't believe that Liverpool and City play the same day as the Cup Semi Final… why take away from the Cup!!!

3:27 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Hello lads. Both Chelsea and Dortmund are one goal from having an aggregate lead. Real's elimination would help me since I picked Bayern.

3:28 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

That's ridiculous - why do they keep scheduling things like that!?

3:28 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I agree, UWS. The Cup should be in its own spotlight.

3:28 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

No goal in a full five minutes in the Championship… what is going on!!!

3:28 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

There is a goal… Forest tie it up

3:29 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Afternoon, MUR! I think that Dortmund still need two goals for the lead, as they didn't have an away goal from the first leg like Chelski. But they could force extra time and/or pens with another goal. It's all up for grabs, as Brian Moore would say.

3:29 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Against Wednesday

3:29 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Yup.. but being two up inside half an hour is pretty good!!

3:30 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Hey MUR

3:30 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

That's true. I have a Real fan coming to class, so I need to bring that to his attention.

3:30 PM

Hello UWS and Bob.

Half time at Watford - Leeds 2-0 down. Sigh....

3:35 PM

Bournemouth are THREE NIL up against promotion hunting Reading…. The Cherries are having a great season after promotion

3:36 PM

Wigan are losing at home to Millwall
They have made 8 changes with the Semi this weekend

3:37 PM

Can't find a working link for Soccer Special so I am listening to updates on TalkSport

3:38 PM

Two terrible pieces of defending by Real to give both goals away

3:43 PM

We're off at the Bridge

Go on, you Whites! If any of you don't score today, it's a horse's head in the bed for you tonight.

Free kick chance now for the Blues

Don't ever take sides against the family again

3:55 PM

Cam Stewart has come on for Alex Mowatt at the start of the second half. Let's be having ya!

3:56 PM

Oscar, David Luis and Lamps over the ball

Oscar hits the same bar!!!!
The bar was still rattling from Shirley Temple's effort

3:56 PM

Charlton 3-1 up

Are Leeds safe?

3:56 PM

We're going to have to go to the mattresses now....

I've got a billion of these - I could go on all night.

3:57 PM

Free kick just outside the box for PSG… yellow for Ivanisovic.. out of the semi

United need to take on the winner of this one… no one will be left to play

3:58 PM

Cech saves the free kick

3:58 PM

Cellino is going to make Brian an offer he can't refuse....

Who's he going to bring in?

Gianluca Festa.

4:01 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I couldn't find one that worked!!

4:01 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Chelsea aren't really dominating!!

4:02 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

We're still in 16th now, but with Millwall winning tonight, we're ominously only 8 points off relegation.

But bringing in the new owner might just stave off administration for the moment.

4:03 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Only half an hour to go.. still need another goal
So do Dortmund

4:03 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

It's jumpy but it's working...basically.

4:03 PM

Not a Big Club now 1-3 up at Forest.

4:04 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Some bloke has a a bleeding eye for a Chelsea corner.. they will be a man down for the corner… here it comes… punched clear

4:06 PM

Someone needs to give Mou a slap.

4:10 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I'm back. Our resident Real fan is facing a nervous final half hour.

4:13 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

They can't give a toss now that they've secured promotion.

4:13 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Who's the Real fan - Fred?

4:13 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

They still want to be Champions… they have some breathing room

4:13 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Looks like we've done nowt this half but pick up yellow cards. Where the hell is Connor Wickham?!

4:14 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Cavani hits one just over the bar with a first time shot from a long ball

4:14 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Uh oh… Three nil Hornets!

4:15 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Connor Wickham is back at Sunderland

4:15 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Dortmund are getting chances!!

4:16 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

The man who scored late in the first leg, Pastore, is on for the end of this match too

4:17 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I can't decide if I want Chelsea to win it.. I really want Jose to fall flat on his face

4:18 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

3-0 - why not? Make it 8 bloody nil at this point. I cannot wait for this season to be over. Only five matches to play beyond today.

4:19 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Cavani with another chance.. over the top
Long diagonal.. brought down brilliantly but puts it over the top

4:20 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

A five goal thriller at Charlton now. 3-2 to the home side.

4:21 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Into the last ten minutes - tick tock, Chelski!

4:23 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I think it's quite possible that Mou will win nowt this season.

4:24 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I'm back. The Real fan is one of my students. He knew the score when he came to class.

4:24 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Another five goal thriller at the City Ground - 2-3 to Not a Big Club.

4:24 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Sounds like a bandwagoner. I'd give him a D- on the quiz.

4:25 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Fred is not a Real fan. I think he's a Sunderland fan.

4:25 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

He did not pass the quiz.

4:25 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Big Matty Smith is on late for Noel Hunt in order to rattle the china in the Watford defense. I don't really see the point.

4:26 PM

My link is only updating the CL. Way behind on the Championship scores.

Leicester are now four nil down

4:27 PM

You said it is 3-0. Brian will have to leave. Good looks are not enough to be manager of the mighty Whites.

4:27 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

The Foxes are giving away goals for fun this afternoon. 0-4 Brighton. They came to the Crisps on the right day.

4:27 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I agree - my services are available.

4:27 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

A foul called on the keeper but the shot was blocked anyway

4:27 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Ta, Bob. Not a good night for Fred last night. He3 may be cheering against your Whites twice next season.

4:28 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Seagulls love crisps. They will eat just about anything. The 21 match unbeaten streak is about to end.

4:29 PM

GOAL!!!!!!!!!!


DEMBA BA HAS SCORED!!!!

4:29 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Jose has run down to the corner flag !!!

4:29 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Jose sprinted to the corner.. stayed on his feet this time unlike at OT for Porto

4:31 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

At least it helps the Prem's UEFA coefficient.

4:31 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

United will join them tomorrow!

4:31 PM

Now Chelsea are time wasting with cramps.. why aren't you complaining now Jose

4:32 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I sure hope United do. that takes priority over the PPP.

4:33 PM

Just into 4 minutes of added minutes

Chelsea are annoyed… if they hadn't scored.. they would have been thrilled

Full time at Dortmund. Real have had a scare but they're through 2-3 on aggregate. My pick is still intact.

4:36 PM

Keeper up for PSG for a corner… punched clear

4:36 PM

PSG do get a shot… keeper stayed up… Cech saves in
Another corner...

Chelsea are in the semis

4:37 PM

WOW - what a turnaround for Mou and co.!

4:37 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Matt just told me that some one on Dortmund rounded the keeper and missed the post late on

4:37 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Demba Ba has just paid his salary with that goal.

4:38 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Everyone on Talksport saying don't write of Jose… HE GETS TOO MUCH DAMN CREDIT

4:38 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Never know why Ba doesn't play more
People say he's not good enough… he's scored everywhere he's gone… what makes it different at Chelsea! He's not playing against Chelsea! He would be playing teams he scored against already.. he has better players around him !
I don't get it

4:39 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Agreed. The only good thing is that it helps England's UEFA ranking.

4:39 PM
