Blahdy hell. What a miserable evening. Lennon goes off injured, Gallas goes off injured and now Bale gets a nasty one. That ended up being a bleak situation. Just blow up already ref.

[GoGo Yubari]

Maybe? His ankle just went sideways.

I didn't actually see it, I just saw he was down and in pain when I made the post.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

It wasn't pretty. Not a nasty foul or anything, just one of those things.

Gallas should have stayed on though and stood in the centre circle or something.

It was not bad for us after a very bad start and two shots to the post from Newcastle. Next week we cannot start as slow as tonight or else...

Edit: From what I see Steven Taylor really likes to do these things...

3-1. Good result.

Torres MOTM!

I fucking hate March/April when it comes to Spurs.

Because without that video no one at all was thinking of that.

I didn't know the video until like 2 minutes before I posted it. :/

Fucking hell that was dreadful. Wish I'd stayed at home, at least I could have thrown something at the TV in anger then.

Thankfully, AVB is saying that Bale's injury is 'not as bad as it looks' and that he should hopefully be back for the City game.

And Chelsea take the lead. Torres scores again.

[Ant]

Who'd have thought that in order to get Torres back to his goal-scoring best you simply had to break his nose.

[GoN_]

Maybe that's another guy under the mask. That would be a swerve!

[stokeriño]

That's Torres' 20th goal in all competitions this season. Only four other players in England's top flight (Suarez, RVP, Bale, Michu) have scored more.

[Baddar]

What a player.

Is Newcastle vs Benfica on TV tonight?

Is Newcastle vs Benfica on TV tonight?

ITV4

Meanwhile, Rubin Kazan get a goal back to make it 2-4 on aggregate...

[TCO]

Thanks, the Spurs game is on 3e over here and they usually have the ITV4 game, but thankfully ITV are showing two games tonight.

[stokeriño]

Moses!

Chelsea 2-1 on the night, 5-2 on aggregate. Rubin need to score another four. Game over.

Edit: 2-2 (aka 5-3).
