Arjen Robben has seemingly put and end to Ashley Cole's night. The former Arsenal and Chelsea defender has had the hook at half-time and been replaced by Jose Holebas.

Cole came up short for both of Robben's goals. He was beaten for the first (pictured) and lost the Dutchman's run for the second.

Mark in Ireland: Chelsea look like the only English side with a proper chance of winning the Champions League this season, solid in all departments.

Danny: Who do these European clubs think they are strolling to 5 and 6 nil up at half time - this could devalue Southampton's eight goal thumping of Sunderland!

Chelsea go close again, great leap and header from Kurt Zouma - built like a second-row rugby union forward - but Jasmin Handanovic grabs it in.

Shaun:, external How many more goals before Roma players offer to refund the fans' tickets?

Jim Harrison:, external Wonder what Ashley Cole must be thinking right now.

Steven Jerjian:, external Bayern to lay the ghost of Madrid to bed this year. Lewandowski, Alonso and Benatia add the spine they lacked last season.

Back in play at Chelsea. Three goals just won't cut it tonight Jose...

This team has registered the biggest half-time lead in Champions League history...

Now where is that abacus....

Posing like a model on Bruce's Price is Right, Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti is looking forward to tomorrow night's game against Liverpool.

"It's an honour to play in a legendary stadium like this one in charge of Real Madrid #HalaMadrid," he tweeted., external

Goals flying in in Europe but it is all very tight in the Championship, with no team holding more than a one-goal advantage at the break. Michail Antonio's goal pinned Watford back almost as soon as they had taken the lead to give Nottingham Forest parity at Vicarage Road. Peter Whittingham's goal means it is Cardiff 1-1 Ipswich.

A Ross McCormack penalty has brought Fulham level at Rotherham and Lewis Dunk's goal means it is Huddersfield 1-1 Brighton. Elsewhere, Charlton lead Bolton and Wolves have the advantage against Middlesbrough.

Forever Young:, external Bayern doing to Roma what Roma did to Moscow. When in Rome, act like the Romans perhaps?

Dav Gaddu:, external Roma 0-5 Bayern reminds me of Brazil 1-7 Germany. Germans at it again.

Robin Davies:, external One good thing happening tonight for City is Bayern absolutely ruining Roma's goal difference. One better than Sunderland maybe?

Alan Wilson:, external The way Bayern are playing tonight we could soon see a cricket score.

The race for second in Chelsea's group looks on as it is now 1-1 in Germany between Schalke and Sporting Lisbon. Nani had given the visitors the lead but they have had Brazilian defender Mauricio sent off and Chinedu Obasi has levelled.

The biggest win in the Champions League group stage is Liverpool's 8-0 romp at Anfield against Besiktas in 2007.

That record is under serious threat in these next 45 minutes. Bayern and Shakhtar look like they can score at will.

Shrewsbury have hit three first-half goals to hold a commanding lead against Bury. Jean-Louis Akpa Akpro has two of them, with Connor Goldson getting the other.

Second-placed Burton have gone one better, scoring four at Carlisle through Damien McCrory, Lee Bell, Jacob Blyth and Alexander MacDonald, with Kyle Dempsey scoring what is looking already like a consolation for the home side.

Elsewhere, leaders Wycombe are drawing 1-1 at Exeter, while Luton, who are third, lead 2-0 against Dagenham & Redbridge.

A 5-0 and a 6-0 already. At half-time!

BBC Radio 5 live at Stamford Bridge

"It might be a cliche but Chelsea are making the ball do the work, because they pass it sharply.

"Maribor can't get near it as Chelsea don't take four or five touches and are not hesitant.

"They keep the ball moving all around the pitch."

It seems big wins away from home are catching on, because joining Bayern Munich are Shakhtar Donetsk.

They are making mince meat of Bate Borisov and lead 6-0, a result which will see them go at least second in Group H. Luiz Adriano has a hat-trick already.

The other game in that group is goalless between Porto and Athletic Bilbao.

Routine, regulation, respectable.

Plenty of goals already in League One. Leaders Bristol City are being held 1-1 by Bradford, with Aden Flint's early goal for the home side being cancelled out by Billy Clarke. Oliver Turton's goal means second-placed Peterborough trail 1-0 at Crewe.

Swindon and Sheffield United, both of whom are in the play-off places lead 1-0, against Yeovil and Rochdale respectively. Jonathan Forte has scored twice for Oldham, who lead Coventry 3-1, while Devante Cole and Conor Hourihane have scored for Barnsley, who lead Notts County 2-1.

Jose Mourinho's name rings out around Stamford Bridge but the Special One looks plain bored on the bench. This one is done and dusted - surely?

The Champions League has gone goals mad. As Bayern almost have a sixth in Rome, Eden Hazard lines up a fourth for Chelsea but his low shot is well held by Jasmin Handanovic.

John Terry is knocked to the ground at the other end by Agim Ibraimi and clutches at his shoulder - but he's fit and well. Nothing to see here.

Matt Judge:, external Chelsea 3-0 up. One penalty that isn't a penalty and two goals that could (should?) have been given offside.

Brett Mills:, external A defence splitting though-ball, an 80-yard run to finish a counter attack... who are you and what have you done with Mr Terry?

Fahad Khan:, external Drogba scores, Terry scores. Is this the Chelsea Oldies night?
