    Who should we play in the Champions League semi final 2nd leg against Barcelona Drogba or Torres? Drogba was excellent last night. But I am a bit concerned playing Drogba in the 2nd leg because he got booked in the first leg and if he is booked in the second leg he misses the Champions League final if we get the defining result at the Nou Camp.

    Can you please stop calling it the UCL - UEFA is already a set of initials and not a word. There, got it off my chest, it's been building.

    I called it UCL because didn't think I had enough room in the title for the whole word. And UEFA can mean Europa League as well.

    OP - Drogba I'm afraid...he can defend at corners and free kicks, and has something to prove as well<ok>

    Drogba is great at defending set plays and holding the ball up using his physical strength. We might have to risk playing him and hope we don't have a ref in the 2nd leg who hands out cards like confetti.

    You can't reduce U.E.F.A to U, they are initials already. So UEFACL or just CL. No one says the UEFA Europa League or UEL. I'll go now before I'm accused of being Ensil.

    UEFA is for both club competitions in Europe. UCL is short for UEFA Champions League. If you just say Uefa nobody knows which European competition you're referring to.

    Don't hold your breath !! Platini and co have seen what can happen to their darlings when the ref is fair and not on a bung.

    Is that what you call someone who spends half of the match on their backside feigning injury?

    I think we have to play the best side for each game and forget about whats coming up , so its Drogs for me in the Nou Camp! With our busy schedule and to allow the older players to get a breather I think Torres should get a run out agasinst Arsenal though!
