I'll be around for the first few minutes of this one and then I've got a really irritating meeting at 4pm.
The team news of out Stamford Bridge today:
Chelski - Courtois, Ivano, Cahill, JT, Azpi, Matic, Ramires, Cesc, Oscar, Hazard, Costa. Subs: Cech, Luis, Zouma, Drogs, Remy, Willian, Cuadrado.
PSG - Sirigu, Marquinhos, Thiago Silva, Sideshow Bob, Maxwell, Motta, Matuidi, Verratti, Pastore, Cavani, Zlatan. Subs: Douchez, Camara, J-C, Digne, Lavezzi, Van Der Vaart, Rabiot.
In the other CL match tonight, Bayern host Shakhtar. It's 0-0 from the first leg in that one.
Teams are out on the pitch now at the Bridge. Marvelous atmosphere as you can imagine.
Good afternoon, Bob. My students are working on a review for a test, so I will be watching, but probably won't chip in with comments until the final half hour of the match
Oh - Cavani was nearly in there early doors but JT got back to block him out for a corner.
Nice tackle by JT on Cavani
Afternoon, MUR - great to have you on board for this one.
If Chelsea played Dynamo Kiev it would be Chicken Cordon Bleu vs Chicken Kiev
Cheers mate. I'm back and forth between watching and helping students.
Sounds like a delicious match-up.
Diego Costa got caught there and has gone off for a spot of treatment.
I caught the tail end of an incident between Costa and the Sideshow on his return to SB. Surprise Surprise! What exactly happened?
Verratti went down , looking for a penalty when Ramires didn't even touch him. He should have been booked . Ramires was livid.
This one has not exactly been a classic as it's 0-0 a half an hour into this match. Les Bleus are ahead on away goals or is it goal?
ZLATAN IS OFF AN X RATED TACKLE ON OSCAR . AN EASY DECISION FOR THE REF THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN MADE EVEN IF CHELSEA PLAYERS HAD NOT SURRONDED THE REF.
PSG players are losing their discipline as Thiago Motta is booked for losing his temper and Cavani is about to talk himself into the book. Matuidi and Verrati are close as well.
It will be hard to see Les Rouges coming back after a rouge for Zlatan. We shall see.
Not such a Fab tackle as Verratti fouls Fab from behind and wasn't even booked . Chelsea players are not pleased.
Oscar has talked himself into the book because Verratti was not booked. This has become a really ill tempered match
Matuidi is booked for practically a rugby tackle on Hazard on an attempted Chelsea break off a PSG corner. The Sideshow and Ivanovic were arguing during the corner,not looking like old mates
The Sideshow has words for Costa , whom he feels went down too easily as Chelsea have a free kick.
Costa is livid as he wanted a penalty for a challenge by Cavani. he went down too easily as Jose protested with a wry smile to follow.
It's 0-0 at the end of a really bad tempered first half as that saw more of that than actual footie. Here's hoping for a better second half.
Chelsea players have obviously gotten under the skin of the Sideshow as he elbowed Ivanovic in the chest in the tunnel. I guess Ivanovic cut in front of the pSG players , who were supposed to head out first. The second half is underway.,
Willian came on as a sub, but I did not see who he replaced.
Hiya, mate - I'm back after my meeting and see that things haven't changed. We're nearly an hour in and Chelski still have the upper hand due to away goals. But it's on a knife's edge.
I'll look forward to seeing that Zlatan XXX tackle on the highlights.
OH!!! Cavani was superbly put through . He rounded Courtois and shot wide of a wide open goal. The ten men Should have taken the lead.
Oh - huge moment there as Cavani waltzed through and rounded Courtois. The goal was gaping but he hit the post with his left-footed shot. Phew!
Welcome back, mate. The entire match has been on a knife's edge, especially since the red card
Meanwhile, Bayern are strolling it against Shakhtar. 4-0 up now with goals from Boateng, Ribery and a brace from the reliable Muller.
Chelsea players have been winding up the Sideshow so that he can provide one as they are not being very hospitable on his return to SB
That one sounds like it's all over bar the shouting.
I've just watched the Zlatan red card via a really cool feature on this Fox Soccer 2Go stream. Nasty one.
My students are headed home, but it's Wednesday, so that means that my number sense and calculator students will be coming for their weekly practice. They are fairly independent, so I should be able to comment with minimal interruptions.
Just like this match, it's 0-0 in the Lancashire Derby between Bolton and Blackburn. Hibs are one up vs Livie in the Scottish Championship.
Chelski are all Keystone Kops at the back but PSG haven't taken full advantage. Yet.
I appreciate you hanging in there with me.
Bayern are now five up vs Shaky Shkhtar. Badstuber with the goal, which sounds like Shaktar's performance.
I'm glad to do it. It's this bloody time change. I've never been a fan of DST.
Badstuber has added a fifth for Bayern.
Ivanovic is guilty of an off the ball shove. How was that not a red card. Not even a booking.,
Nor I - I wish we could just "Fall Back" every weekend.
Some of my students said they won't be showing up due to a commitment with student council. I will still be around for the remainder of this match
Me too. I would love that.
Matic looks really knackered now.
Great save by Courtois, but Matuidi looked offside on the one two.
Oh - Pastore pulls a really great save out of Courtois and Cavani can't finish it.
He's probably run himself ragged. He usually puts in quite a bit of mileage.
Costa is booked for a foul from behind on Thiago Silva and the Sideshow stupidly picks up a booking for pushing Costa. They really have him wound up.
Oh dear - Diego Costa gets a booking for hacking down Thiago Silva and then Sideshow gets involved. Another booking. Diego's not popular among his fellow Brazilians.
More handbags now as Veratti dives in - another booking.
Only about 15 minutes left now - can Chelsea hang on?
Verratti was booked after a high challenge on Hazard . That was probably more for cumulative incidents and as a result is suspended for the next , whenever that is.
A quarter of an hour remaining and Chelsea still lead on away goals.
Chelsea win a free kick off of Thiago Silva and a poor free kick from another Brazi, Willian is straight to Siragu. A waste
Are you still at the office? It must be dinner time in Fred Town. That must have been a late meeting.
It was - an exceedingly tedious one. I'll be off home after the match.
Bayern are now six up vs Shaky . Lewandowski with the goal.
Me too. My students don't appear to be showing.
Just over ten minutes left now for PSG to rescue this one.
Oh - Sirigu tips around a great try from Ramires at the near post.
A Brazi trio as Willian put Ramires through and Siragu pushed an effort out for a corner and
GOAL !!!! CAHILL SCORES OFF THE CORNER
GOAL! That settles it! Cahill rockets one home from the corner. He is a goal machine!
Mou is well pleased by that effort.
A scrappy goal as a poor header from Thiago Silva was headed upward , JT headed back and Costa won a challenge off of the Sodeshow as Cahill blasted home from close range
Actually, the goal doesn't really change matters. PSG still need a goal to stay in this tie as they did when it was 0-0.
Oh - Lavezzi nearly equalized there - fortunately he put it straight at Courtois.
Lvaezzi is on for Veratti. Almost like for like.
Rabiot is on for Matuidi. Hopefully he won't play like a robot.
Zouma coming on to shore things up - Matic limping off.
Jose is locking up the door and throwing away the key as Zouma is on for Matic, who is shagged after running about six miles.what a shift
Courtois pushed over a cross from Pastore.
Pastore again threatens but Courtois tips over to safety.
GOAL! Sideshow levels things!!!!!
GOAL !!! THE SIDESHOW TIES IT UP BOTH ON THE NIGHT AND ON AGG AS HE HEADS IN FROM A CORNER
Game on!
Four minutes plus stoppage time as we may be headed to extra time.
I may not be able to stick around for the extra time, mate. Hope they can settle it now. Ramires won't with that kind of effort.
Normally , players don't celebrate when scoring against their former club, especially when on the away side, but the Sideshow has chosen not to follow portocol.Jose didn't look too pleased about it.
Me too. I was hoping it wouldn't head to extra time because that delays my trip home.
Cavani fouls Hazard just outside the box and both players get into it, needing to be separated by the ref.,
Thiago Silva heads out for a Chelsea corner.,
Three minutes of stoppage time
A free kick followed by a corner. Chelski must try to kill this one off.
Costa is livid after not getting a penalty decision and pushes down a player when the ref had his back turned.
Oh dear - Costa has pushed a player over. Could be a red card.
Referee had his back to the incident.
willian has a shot deflected for a corner. Sideshow heads out the corner from Fab then PSG kadoomph it.
Willian earns yet another corner. Could be the last chance....
Cleared out.
The ref blows his whistle as this match is headed to extra time.
This one is going to extra time for sure - I'm off home mate. Kate has dinner waiting on me.
Byaern have defeated Shakhtar 7-0 on the night and on agg. Goetze scored the last goal puttting thirsty Bayern seven up.
Hibs have defeated Livie 2-1 while Jordan Rhodes has given Blackburn the lead vs Bolton in stoppage time in a Lancashire Derby,.
Cheers mate . Have a safe trip home and a great meal.
Blackburn have won 1-0 thanks to that stoppage time goal.
Jose with the final roll of the dice brings on the wildcard in the form of Drogba
ET is underway.
Willian has a shot deflected for a corner.
PENALTY CHELSEA AS THIAGO SILVA IS CALLED FOR HAND BALL, GOING FOR THE BALL WITH DROGBA
GOAL !!! COOL AS YOU LIKE AS HAZARD EASILY SCORES DOWN THE CENTER , SENDING SIRAGU THE WRONG WAY
I am pleased to say that this one will not go to penalties. Chelsea are 2-1 up on the night and lead 3-2 on agg.
As the corner was headed away by the Sideshow, the ball broke to Costa down the left and he put in a good cross . The replay showed that Thiago Silva handled the ball in an aerial challenge with Drogba
Will PSG be able to come back a man down with only about twenty minutes remaining?
Naughty by Willian on Lavezzi
Courtois does well to tip over a powerful free kick from the Sideshow as Chelsea fans are very well aware.
Diego Costa is having more trouble with his fellow Brazis as he gets into ti with Thiago Motta. The ref has to separate them. Bob had alluded to that earlier.
A superb last ditch tackle by Motta on Costa that keeps PSG's hopes alive.
Costa called for a foul on Thiago Motta as he goes on a run. I didn't see too much in that. He just outmuscled the defender.
Jose throws a tantrum on the touchline as a throw in didn't go his way. The fourth official calms him down as it's HT of ET
This match cannot go to penalties, so it will be decided in the nest fifteen minutes. Then I will head on home.
The second half of ET is underway
Naughty by Willian on Pastore as he is lectured by the ref. A poor free kick is headed away by the first man
Ten minutes remaining as Chelsea hold on.
Ivanovic heads out for a PSG corner.
What a world class save by Courtois as he superbly dives full length to push around a header from Thiago Silva off the corner
then
GOAL !!!! DESMOND ON THE NIGHT AS THIAGO SILVA HEADS IN FROM THE RESULTING CORNER
That puts ten man PSG ahead on the away goals rule with six minutes plus stoppage time remaining
Prior to kickoff the ref runs over to Jose and it looks like he told Jose to shut it!
What an eventful extra time for Thiago Silva as he concedes the penalty that appeared to send Chelsea through to the quarters then makes ammends by heading in what may be the winning goal for his side, leading by example.
The final roll of the dice for Larry white, who shuts up shop as Gregory Van Der Wiel is on for Javier Pastore.
Azpi is called for a foul as PSG can run down the clock. Chelsea fans look despondent.
Azpi is called for another foul.
Two minutes of ET of ET
Now Fab is called for a foul and PSG can run more time off the clock
That's it as PSG are through on away goals as Larry White is delighted . PSG players celebrate. Some PSG assistants give a telling off to Costa
PSG players go to their fans and dance as they are ecstatic .
That's it for me . Time to head home.
CHEERS!
