Wouldn't have minded Chelsea going to final and getting trashed there....but after reading their fans crap on Rafa and Suarez, they really don't deserve a day out in Amsterdam.

Here is me, taking a shot to 4 Basel goals tonight.

Yep, though unfortunately theres not a chance they're getting through, they're average despite the hipster hype though may be able to get a decent result at home so Chelsea at least have to try in the 2nd leg.

Basel are actually a decent side, usually do well against English sides too.

Interesting from Rafa, probably putting Luiz in the midfield and loading bodies in there to hold Basel.

Plus, we got 5 former players in the two games.

Benfica leaving 4 key players out of this game. Interesting how they seem to be giving much more attention to the portuguese league but still they are achieving great results in this Europa League.

Aye, that's exactly his words almost. He said he never smiles celebrating, and didn't seem to do it much either at Liverpool.

And Dirk's having a good game,he crossed the ball for Sow's header,and Fener have just had a great chance to score,header straight at the keeper.

Given it's ITV and Ivanovic is on the pitch I'm surprised we haven't heard a whole lot more.

The goal has knocked them back a bit, Chelsea defending well.

I dislike Chelsea and their supporter's and have done since I got taken to the semi final at Villa park in 65,so unless we're playing them I give them a huge miss.

Plus it's hard to see Rafa with them.
