Rival watch

Should be a pen every time and it will soon stop.

 

Is it just me or is it a bit odd watching Barca struggling a bit against a side that's very similar to the one that we put out last season in the quarters?

 

Or not. 3-1.

 

Chris Coleman would say that they're playing a lot like Swansea.

 

Swansea-esque

 

i remember that one!!

 

Is the BBC live feed running a competition for who can say it's "game over" first? That's all anyone ever seems to Tweet or text in this season.

 

i hope chelsea gt through...i do think they will be focused very highly on the semi final against Barca in the hope of getting a corner or something.

 

3-1 id say











game over.

 

I don't think Mourinho's ever beaten Barcelona over two legs has he? I think he'd fancy his chances of beating Barca more in a one off game like the final and would prefer to try and outsmart a new threat in Bayern over 2 games instead too.

 

Has with Inter, but not Real

 

You're right HD, 2010, Inter beat Barca 3-1 in the 1st leg, and Barca could only win 1-0 in the Nou Camp.

 

Me

 

Their stats at the Nou Camp said it all:
Shots on target - 0
Shots off target - 1

Only one team has ever managed a worse effort in the history of the European Cup/Champions League. I think we can all remember which one...

 

And I'll bet that not one Inter fan gave a toss!

 

I totally agree hbic that was one of the worst spectacles masquerading as a football match ever seen, but that doesn't put me off him. I think he is more than aware of the criticism that approach has got and is going about it the right way with RM, probably to try and prove people wrong knowing him.

 

I wish you'd support my opinion with something better than that. The standard of La Liga is irrelevant, making your analogy redundant. RM are beating the rest of it better than Barca are...Barca is still the yardstick.

 

explain this to me someone....having seen Ramires put his hand across a Benfica player's chin/neck/chest and the Benfica player falls holding his face...somwhere near the centre circle.


why the fuk would the Benfica player do that to get a free kick when he could have fought for the ball and carried on playing....how the is that of any advantage to him? how is it a free kick in a dangerous position..when had he fought for the ball and won it it would have been more dangerous for Chelsea.


are they bred to behave like pusssies? are footballers the most embarrasing version of a 'man'? why just fall over for the sake of it.

i hate footballers..they have no shame...pen to chelsea...good i want em through

 

Chelsea tonight didn't exactly strike fear into me ahead of our semi-final!

 

Have to agree - but the bottom line is that they are in the CL semi final having had what can only be described as a bad year with an aging team.
