They seem terrible, I reckon Rangers should win but it will be tough against Valencia.

Drogba's serving the last game of his two game ban, so he can't face his former team. Lampard and Benayoun are out and I think Kalou still is too.

7.45pm tomorrow, can't wait! :D

Chelsea v Marseille B)

BBC Sport
 
Chelsea striker Didier Drogba sits out the last of his two-match Champions League ban and will not be able to play against his former club Marseille.

Frank Lampard (hernia) and Yossi Benayoun (calf) are still out but Ashley Cole returns after being rested for the 4-1 win over MSK Zilina.

Forward Salomon Kalou has a thigh problem, but Gael Kakuta (back) is fit.

Marseille defender Souleymane Diawara should play after he returned from injury against Sochaux at the weekend.

Chelsea suffered their first league defeat of the season when they went down 1-0 at Manchester City, but manager Carlo Ancelotti is not concerned by the blip.

"I haven't asked the players for a reaction. We just have to play our football," said the Italian boss.

"We have to pay attention and get the points from this game. It is an important game for us to go to the top of the group."

French champions Marseille lost their opening group game to Spartak Moscow, but Ancelotti is wary of their potency.

"Marseille are a good team, with good organization. They use attacking play and they are quick," he added.

"My players will know everything about the opponent but the most important thing is our play. If we play our best, we will win."

Marseille coach and former Chelsea player Didier Deschamps noted City's approach to the game against the Blues and is hoping for a similar outcome for his team on Wednesday.

"Chelsea have had a good start to the season but they have not played many sides from the upper echelons of the league," said the ex-France captain.

"I did watch the game against Manchester City, who did a lot of good things that hopefully we can repeat.

"We need to close the space down and impose ourselves physically. These kind of games are settled in the finer details and let us hope it is settled in our favour.

Franchement, je ne connais pas l'OM.John Obi Mikel, milieu de terrain de Chelsea. (28/09/10)


Is Mikel that thick? Who doesn't know OM :| He plays with Taiwo for Nigeria, that retard :|

Speaking of Taiwo, it looks like he might be on the bench today, with the more experienced Heinze slipping over to left back. Diawara and M'bia could be playing together once again at the back today :eek: Azpi to start on the right obviously. Lucho, Cisse, and Cheyrou should get the start in midfield while Ayew, Gignac, and Remy (or Valbuena) are expected up front.

Starting 11 for OM

Brandao - Gignac - Remy

Cheyrou - Cisse - Lucho

Heinze - Diawara - Mbia - Kabore

Mandanda


Brandao on the left when there's Ayew and Valbuena on the bench, oh dear :facepalm: I just hope it works because he hasn't been great lately. Kabore at right-back though, I forgot all about that! Great move :notworthy:

Bench: Andrade, Azpi, Hilton, Abriel, Taiwo, Ayew, Valbuena.




ALLEZ L'OM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What can I say, Alle - 2-0 - Chelsea win the Battle of The Complex :)

It was a great start for us. Terry scored with a flick from a corner in the seventh minute :eek: Anelka scored a penalty (I'll post a video of that later), although I haven't seen replays of the incident but Alle insists it wasn't a penalty :| The match died down a bit in the second half really, although we had a few chances to make the scoreline bigger. Sturridge missed from close range and Alex hit the bar with a powerful free-kick. I wasn't that impressed with Marseille, although not many away teams impress at Stamford Bridge.

Did anyone else watch it apart from Alle and Marius? Did anyone see one of the Marseille players fly into the crowd? :lol:

Marseille have some great fans, I must say. They were bouncing and singing all night. They kept booing Anelka (probably for the World Cup stuff) :x



Matchday 2: Part 1 results

Ajax 1 AC Milan 1
Auxerre 0 Real Madrid 1
Basel 1 Bayern Munich 2
Braga 0 Shakhtar Donetsk 3
Chelsea 2 Marseille 0
Partizan Belgrade 1 Arsenal 3
Roma 2 Cluj 1
Spartak Moscow 3 Zilina 0



Brooker, I don't know why you keep saying Mikel is bad. He's been playing well for us...

I went to Three Lions, the English pub in Trondheim, to watch it. Never been there, cos it's always full, but it's GREAT! Only British people working there, the beer is English (and Irish), and it's all decorated with English scarfs and jerseys. The commentators on the TV were English too, they didn't use any Norwegian channels. A must visit next time, Chris! You have to be 20 to get in, though, but I sneaked in :P

WELL, to talk about the game, I did watch it, but they showed the Chelsea game on a smaller screen since the crowd was all cheering on Arsenal. So since both the sound and biggest screen was live from Belgrade AND the fact that my team was playing, I watched that with an eye too :P After 2-0, I almost didn't see Stamford Bridgem, although I saw the incident with the crowd and Chelsea's great chances. Good, solid win from the blues.

As for Arsenal, what a game! Three penalties, two misses. Have got to say that Stonkovic or something, is a great keeper! Buy him, Arsenal :| At least he was on fire yesterday :P

Valencia are in great form at the moment and could definitely surprise Man Utd. Other than that, I don't see many upsets. Tottenham should get up I guess.

I tried to post predictions earlier, but failed. Copied it though, so I'll post them after the game!! :P Lyon 2-0 I had, maybe that will go in :|

Inter 3-0 at half time! Thought that'd be 1-1!

Matchday 2: Part 2 results

Rubin Kazan 1 Barcelona 1
Inter Milan 4 Werder Bremen 0
Valencia 0 Manchester United 1
Panathinaikos 0 FC Copenhagen 2
Rangers 1 Bursaspor 0
Hapoel Tel-Aviv 1 Lyon 3
Schalke 2 Benfica 0
Tottenham 4 FC Twente 1

Updated tables are here.


I ended up watching the Valencia game in the end with a mate - the first half was boring and the second half was a bit better. Typical United scoring near the end :x They'll win the group for sure. Good result by Rangers too - the matches against Valencia will be crucial if they want to advance though.

Copenhagen beat Panathinaikos away! :eek: The second goal was great. They now top the table ahead of Barcelona, who must hate playing in Kazan!

Good win for Spurs. Van der Vaart scored, missed a penalty and got a red card (two yellows)! :lol:
