Champions League group topped and a supposedly easier draw for the round of 16 secured, possibly a reunion with the mighty Didier Drogba as well. Now we turn our attention back to the league and the champions league goes onto to back burner until 2014.
Only three people managed to get a first goalscorer prediction so well done to Mr Carneiro, Marco van Ginkel and Gazza who correctly got the Ba would open the scoring. Also well done to Cech Hook who was the only poster to predict that we would finally keep a clean sheet but that we would only break the. Romanians down once over the 90 minutes. .
Next up, its the home game against Crystal Palace at the Bridge. (Saturday 14th December 2013 @ 15.00).
