    Really, so you won a treble last year. Liverpool will be disappointed to know that. <whistle>

    This tie is far from over,Yes Swansea parked the bus lastnight and to great effect as Chelsea just tried to batter us straight up the middle for 80 minutes,I expect Ba to start next game and use width like you did for the last 10 minutes lastnight then you have a great chance of getting the two goals back.I think what will determine the result is if and how many Swansea can score as i have no doubt Chelsea will..

    They don't need to. 1-3 will do it.

    I think the irony behind it is that if Michu joined Chelsea then he would not be as effective, but if Torres joined Swansea then he would become prolific again. This scenario isn't going to happen by any stretch but it seems that is what would happen with Swansea being the team that would try more through balls for the blonde spaniard to run onto.

    Serious question Chelsea fans, which result did you find more disappointing, the 0-1 vs QPR or the 0-2 vs Swansea?

    The QPR performance was worse but came after a few good performances, and it should not have any long term affects, it's just one game out of 38 (even though you would understandably have expected to get all 3 points comfortably).

    However the Swansea game was under your control and apart from the two Ivanovic errors it was a better performance than the QPR game, against a better team. However it puts you in a very tough position in what is a very winnable competition, especially with Bradford's result.

    Are you guys more bitter about last night than the QPR game? At least you have a chance to salvage things in two weeks, but it's going to be tough...

    Well yesterdays for me as we deserved something out of it, by far the better side and literally gifted them their goals and should've had one ourselves.

    Oh and the bloke calling Mata overrated - tool.

    Looking forward to the second leg, you'll definitly not see so much of the ball at our place, hope you come at as from the off, should be a good game, but we have not come this far, in the cup, to let you back in!.............<ok>
