Lamps went out of his way to shake Anton Ferdinand's hand which was applauded by the QPR fans.

Some QPR fans wore Bayern Munich shirts to the game yesterday. That is quite funny but talk about bitter!

Torres back to haunt Liverpool anyone?

Arjen Robben's alleged punch-up with Franck Ribery could force the Dutchman to leave Bayern Munich after the star claimed "recent developments" have led him to reconsider his situation at the Bundesliga club.

I am not a Chelsea supporter really, just have a soft spot for them cause my son supports them, but I would love to see Torres put a hat-trick past Liverpool in the final.

The stick he has got from some elements of the Liverpool fan base has been so vile I would really enjoy seeing Chelsea win with a Torres hat-trick.

Callous! Very few from LFC have wished Nando anything other than good luck - except when he plays us, then it is a free for all. Goes with the territory that some will always be vile to ex players on opposing teams, happens every week, and many were very hurt at the manner of his leaving. Yep, he can have his hat-trick against us, but only after Luis has got 2 ht's against Chelsea! We want this cup more than they do!

I don't understand the abuse either, he has one lifetime to try and win either the PL or Champions League, isn't he just trying to better himself?

Liverpool woundn't give him those opportunities..............who can blame him

I followed quite a few people on Twitter that also support Liverpool and ended up unfollowing them because of the abuse that they were saying about Torres, everytime he played everywhere, not just against Liverpool. As a Newcastle supporter I had no problems at Carroll going to LP or Shay Given going to MC. They have a short career and they have to make the best they can with the tallent they have.

I also want a Chelsea win in the FA cup and CL so that I will have a very happy young man in my house.

You haven't been on the biggest Liverpool FC forum there is then, RAWK. The second he put his transfer in, to say they detest him now, is putting it lightly. So for him to get the winner would be wonderful.

So, massive games tomorrow night.

Us v Newcastle
Bolton v Spurs


Hopefully we can continue our excellent form and capitalise on Newcastle's defeat against Wigan, but I hope the team don't get complacent, it's just one blip for Newcastle, they have been on an excellent run.

I hadn't realised those fixtures were on, massive games for all 4 clubs, 2 score draws possibly?

Lovely blog by Pat Nevin.

This season is now officially beyond the wildest dreams of anyone who supports Chelsea, especially when you consider how things looked a few months back. We will talk about this period forever, no matter what happens in the next few weeks.

It does in some ways feel like a dream sequence in a movie by a Hollywood scriptwriter who has got a little carried away to say the least. What happened in Barcelona just doesn't happen in real life, does it?

The ten men, the two centre-backs off, two goals down against the best team in the world with the best player on the planet and quite a few others in the top ten there to help him. More than that it was at their home ground with a capacity crowd baying them on, the star missing a penalty, our centre-forward basically playing at left back and the much-maligned, and to us much loved, big-money buy ending the game with a pitch-long run to score the final goal in the dying seconds, justifying everything that we have been saying about him while nobody listened.

Just a moment now to think what was the signature instant of that game, it isn't easy. Ramires' outrageous chip after Frank's defence-splitting ball is a contender of course. Cech's superb save onto the post from Messi or what about the various last-ditch tackles from our defenders to save certain goals?

I could go on, but my moment is a TV moment. When Fernando broke away in the dying moments, the camera didn't show that there were no defenders between him and the Barcelona goal. In the stadium those lucky Blues fans could see the entire pitch empty in front of him but on the small screen it was a few seconds before you suddenly realised, there is nobody there, the defenders are all behind him!

There was a fantastic dawning realisation that this was Fernando's moment, the team's moment, our moment. I didn't doubt for a millisecond that the scourge of Barcelona during his days in the Spanish league was going to waltz past Valdes and slide it into the net.

The ecstatic, glorious celebration mixed with the massive release of tension was unforgettable; apparently Gary Neville felt it as well. No small thing for a committed United man. I have been saying for a month now that this could be the greatest season in Chelsea's history, notice I said it 'could' be.

I will openly say now that I only hoped it would be the case, I cannot say hand on heart that I truly believed it with all my being. Every Chelsea fan and indeed fans of any club will probably remember exactly where they stood when they watched this momentous occasion. It is easy for me, in that I was commentating for Chelsea TV and basically failed to control my jubilation. all very unprofessional I am afraid, but who cares?

Like any good melodrama there was also the sadness in the drama; Ramires, JT, Meireles and Ivanovic will not get to play in the final. JT accepts his own punishment but how unfair is it on the others? A few years back Manchester United's Darren Fletcher missed the final because on awful decision to book him in the semi. Did Uefa take into concern the unfairness of that situation? No chance. Did they then take the time to rethink the booking and suspension rules that no longer make any sense? Nope.



It is much easier to get booked in the modern game, but have the rulings been adapted to reflect this and increase the number of bookings that lead to an automatic suspension? Of course not, after all it is only players who have spent their entire life aiming towards one glorious highpoint who are denied, why should the rule makers care about that? I should mention here that this is not the official line of Chelsea FC, but my own opinion, but I bet I am not alone.

There is nothing to be done now and just like the rulings on technology, not doubt the rules will eventually be changed long after the horse as bolted from this particular unlocked paddock. The only positive side for those players is that they have an FA Cup Final to look forward to as some sort of comfort, I hope and expect all four to be starters at Wembley and with any luck they will finish it with winners' medals.

Any other week in history I would have started by waxing lyrically (or at least as close as I can get to it) about the 6-1 thrashing of QPR and indeed the Cup Final itself on Saturday. Torres's hat trick was of course a master class of effortless and high-standard finishing just underlining to the nay-sayers about his pace, quality and attitude which of course were never 'lost'.

The pressure on Spurs and Newcastle is also palpable now and I am sure one or two Liverpool fans as well as players might just have noticed that Chelsea are doing quite well at the moment. Be afraid, be very afraid.

Liverpool will be waiting at Wembley and I can hardly think of a better club to be facing. The sweetness of overcoming our fierce European rivals last week will be matched by our delight if we put Kenny's men to the sword as well.

The recent history between the two clubs needs no reiteration and as a former Chelsea and Everton player I find myself in a slightly difficult position this weekend. I will be co-commentating at the match for BBC Radio 5 Live and I will be expected to at least attempt to be impartial, that may well be a rather tough ask for me to be honest, but I will endeavour to do my best, wearing a blue scarf surreptitiously tucked under my jacket.

So to everyone involved in the team I would like to offer my congratulations for their success thus far and also my thanks for once more reminding me why I/we all love this game and our club. It has been one extraordinary ride and right now I can't wait to see if the person who is writing this mad story can come up with the perfect ending.

Any news on Cahill/Luiz being fit for tomorrow/Saturday?

'Gary Cahill and David Luiz are still out, but they are the only two injuries we have,' he said. 'We need to check their progress on a daily basis, but we have Branislav Ivanovic back from suspension and we have a few options. They're progressing well, but it's impossible to put a date on it, hopefully they will be ready before the Champions League final.'

Bosingwa is doing a really great job as CB atm. I've been annoyed with his performances earlier on in the season but he's really stepped up lately.

Yep, like when he played well at LB against United. He's better when he's forced to concentrate. (not sure why he can't do it in his natural position)

Liverpools reserve team beaten 1-0 by Fulham!

Really hope and believe you can win the CL. Really really want Torres to put 3 past Liverpool on Sunday for a 4-0 win. But if you win these two cups you dont need to be any higher in the league so please please let Newcastle have the 3 point tonight.

No surprise really, they have been awful at home, they are not bothered about where they finish in the League now, so are concentrating on Saturday.

Yeah, the liverpool games worry me actually, they always raise their game against us and will give us two really tough games i think. Shame as they have been so poor the rest of the season. Wouldnt be surprised if we lost the FA cup and or drop points against them in the league. Waiting for the inevitable liverpool fans to say they are good enough to be in the CL final if we can beat Chelsea...

But Newcastle first, hoping for a good result tonight, need to keep winning games, pretty much every game is a must win now

I have a mate who is a Pool fan, he is disgusted with this season, it really grates on him that his team are only up for the 'big' games, either League 'big' teams or a Cup game. He said the League is the team's bread and butter, and that they need to get back into the CL and whatever Cups they win this season is just papering over the cracks. He is a refreshingly honest Pool fan.

We always get a really difficult game against Liverpool, I expect no different with the FA Cup and League game.

Tonight's game is massive, if we can win and Spurs drop points, I will be a very happy person! Muamba will be attending the game tonight.
