    Anybody giving Chelsea a chance against Barca over two legs? I'm looking forward to seeing how they get on, Busquets vs Bakayoko would be an embarrassing match up, probably the best holding midfielder in the world against one of the worst in history.

    I think it'll be a draw at Stamford Bridge and an easy win at The Camp Nou for Barca.

    The Chavs have to try and not concede in the home leg. If Barca get a couple, which they can easily do, it’s all over imo.

    i think i committed a long time ago that we might do Barcelona over.

    We seem to be a side they struggle against and there hasn't ever been a big victory for either side over each other.

    Barca have been pretty appalling away from home in the CL (only scoring once) and messi hasn't scored against us before i think.

    Suarez is the one i'm worried about.

    The way Conte plays footie it usually ends up 50/50 who goes through (imo)

    Barca have not lost a league game all season. And have conceded just 11 goals in 24 games.

    you don't really mean that. You hate us <cheers>.

    That is my slightly biased optimism.

    I am however pretty confident we won't be losing to them at the bridge.

    ... but, but, but, ... that would mean you go through <laugh> .... you couldn't stop Bournemouth scoring at the Bridge, so I I'm not overly confident that you'll hold out against Barca ... I think they will score at least twice tonight ... it might be a draw ...

    Tbh,mate, I’m no great Barca fan either. So I really couldn’t give a toss either way.

    Just hope for some entertaining footie.

    i'm pretty sure that won't be on the cards tonight (depending what you mean by this).

    We undoubtedly will stay solid and try to hit on the counter (well not through lack of trying to keep the ball but barca are the better technical side so we won't see the ball much).

    Our defence/midfield is just unable to keep the ball if they get pressed

    do it from tomorrow night. i might not be on tonight <whistle>.

    I haven't really been on much during evenings recently and i'm normally on at work. If i am ever on in the evenings its normally on my phone which is just fiddly to change stuff.

    I'll even give it to you for an extra day (as i would apply it during the day whilst at work)
