fuck ITV are bad.

"I fear chelsea will have to score 3 to go through tonight."

It is literally impossible for that to happen, chelsea will either need to score 2 or at least 4.

They could score three and go through on penalties.

They could score three and go through on penalties.

And how do you propose they go through on penalties without scoring?

Wow.

Evening Adrian.

Napoli can't win with Gargano on the pitch - he's an utter tool.

ITV confirmed for crystal ball owners

[Plissken]

I know this is irrelevant, but it has been bugging me. When did they switch the camera position to the other side of the pitch?

Also: Oof. Great goal. 2-1 and hopefully a grandstand final half hour.

[Marlowe]

What a goal!

And the commentator said "and that changes everything". I'd only ever heard that one in ISS98.

[El Pibe]

Really surprised that ITV haven't mentioned how long it's been since Torres last scored.

[El Pibe]

Lots of EBJT action now!

[Shimmyhill]

five live did, 127 days i think he said!

[Sng]

Ha, good point by commentator. AVB must be looking at those three scorers and thinking "hmmmmmm".

[El Pibe]

Dossena's flip and roll into the box!

[Ork1927]

It won't happen, but what if Chelsea finally won the Champions League this season (by somehow avoiding the Spanish Big Two/not losing this game while I type this, etc, etc)

Would Di Mateo get the job full-time? Probably not.

Its pretty bonkers that he could win the FA CUP, get them into the top 4, overturn the 3-1 in this tie and get to the semi-final/final and it wouldnt be enough for him to keep the job.

[Sng]

Torres looks scared to bloody shoot!

[Wallace]

Why "presumably Chelsea are fitter"? What a fat stupid fuck that presenter is.

[Varnsen]

If this goes to penalties, would be interesting to see if Torres could bring himself to step up and take one. I wonder what a miss or scoring would do for him. Much as I don't particularly care for Chelsea, his spiral down has been something to behold. I'd quite like to see him back to something resembling his old self.

Text commentary from Flash Scores is brilliant

In London Chelsea attack through Fernando Torres. The finish is off target, however.

It probably ended up in Bristol

I hope Chelsea go through and they've scored

[Plissken]

Another nice goal. Great skill from Drogba and a tough finish that could easily have gone into Row Z.

[Ork1927]

It has been ages since I watched a game on ITV - you know the commentary will be bad going in, but when you actually listen to it - fucking hell.

Hell of a win for Chelsea if they hang on.

Text commentary from Flash Scores is brilliant

ESPN's has been quite entertaining as well:

"Drogba falls over. Cheap freekick to Chelsea near the corner flag...."

[DeadRussian]

It's all set up to end with another one of these...

[a big boy]

Someone's been swotting up on Sergio Busquets DVDs

[Chooch]

I'll be dissapointed if a Busquets type gif isn't made within the next 5 minutes for Drogba.

[Sng]

I hope someone make's a Droga-peek GIF.

[Nick_L]

:Drogba does a Busquets and pretends to have been hit in the face. What a disgrace!"

[El Pibe]

Personally, I think it's a real shame what has happened to Torres. The guy used to be great to watch and I really hope he can find his confidence and form. It's more enjoyable to watch football when the great players are, well, playing great football!

[Chewylegs]

Lol, i just switched on the Chelsea game and the first thing i see is Drogba us the biggest diving twat in British football, cheating.

FairPlay to Chelsea though, never expected them to be beating Napoli by 3 goals. Has the ref been this Chelsea biased all game though?
