2107: GOAL Fenerbahce 1-1 Chelsea
Chelsea should be home and dry by now but instead Fenerbahce are level. Colin Kazim-Richards, once of Bury, Brighton and Sheffield United, runs on to a ball over the top, takes a touch and powers it past Carlo Cudicini.

Bloody hell. Turkey's a bit of a world away from Gigg Lane eh?

Fenerbahce 2-1 up now btw.

Not seen it yet, have been relying on BBC text all night, though laddo on there has raved about it. Ironically it was he who scored the own goal!

Fenabache replace Nicholas Anleka wiht Colin-Kazim Richards and is now scoring goals in the champions league.

We replaced Anelka with Gzergorz Rasiak ( Or how ever you spell it)

I believe you spell it Gregorz Shiteiak

Without being an apologist for the Rzaziak signing, that was only Richard's second ever goal for Fenerbache (and Cuddicini went down waaaay too early for me) so he's hardly Pele and I very much doubt that many on here would've been jumping through hoops had we signed him.

In other news: I await Blurred's verdit on the most blatant penalty that you'll see all season not being given against Kuyt?

I suspect if Kazim-Richards had still been at Sheff Utd and we'd signed him in January, the reaction would probably have been about the same as when we signed Rasiak.

Bury P30 scored 1. Transfer fee to Brighton £250k
Brighton P43 scored 5. Transfer fee to Sheff £150k
Sheff Utd P27 scored 1. Transfer fee to Fenerbache £0 (I think it was a free)

I think you'll find that Fenerbahce signed either Kezman or Deivid to replace Anelka

Aye the one after a Jussi blunder IIRC

Also sure it was Kezman they took to cover Nico.

However I always thought Kazim Richards was a winger

so why would he replace Anelka

Can't quite comprehend how unbelievably shite the Arsenal fans were last night - if they can't make any noise for a European Cup 1/4 final, when will they? I'd be embarrassed if I were them.

Never mind that, sonny Jim. What about the penalty? Well?

I might have gotten a little quiet witnessing that nightlight robbery....

Not seen it - was at the far end of the ground from us, so anything that happened down there I had a pretty shitty view of. Only got to bed at 4 and was in the office for 9 - hopefully see some highlights tonight.

That's European football for you

Seems they were suffering from their old disease of trying to walk the ball into the net or create the perfect goal rather than having a crack from time to time. Suits me.

I know you have just been to the Emirates, but wasn't that statement just a little too Wengeresque?

Can vaguely remember there being some clamour down that end of the ground when they got a corner, but no chance of knowing what was going on... Alcohol doesn't help the memory, either.
