Chelsea vs Barcelona

Rather put my money on 3 legged horse.

 

10/3 ? To beat them at home? Wow good odds, might have a little £30 on it, easy £100

 

Wouldn't call that an easy 100 would call that a risky 30

 

Hmm, good bet though at them odds for a number of reasons imo, 1) Chelsea are the home team B) Barca normally don't play to their full strengths in the first leg they save their best for the 2nd leg, 3) Messi has never scored vs Chelsea, 4) Chelsea have beat them a lot at home in recent times, 5) No Pique and Adriano at lb = a weakened Barca defence. In saying all that though there's a lot of reasons i could give myself to argue them reasons, and i'm also not really liking Chelseas line-up ( no Torres or Sturridge ). But i can see Chelsea nicking it 1-0 or 2-1

 

On that, ridiculous odds.

 

Wow no Pique? Drogba in attack at 6'2 (along with being strong and powerful), Puyol and Mascherano in defence at 5'10 and 5'7 respectively, he really needs to fully utilise this opportunity.

 

Interesting stat, from BBC :

OK, so Barcelona are favourites, but, just in case you've forgotten, Chelsea have a 100% win record at Stamford Bridge in this season's Champions League. They are also unbeaten in these clubs' last five encounters. If they are to progress from this tie, then surely tonight is key. For the sake of their chances in the tie and (slightly selfishly) for the sake of the entertainment value, I hope Chelsea really go for it tonight.

 

Meireles is awful.

 

Drogba makes it 1 nil

 

Drogba gets chelsea consolation early on in the tie so he doesnt have to get it later.

 

What are the odds on Drogba staying on his feet for 5 minutes?

Chelsea have been outplayed massively despite the scoreline. I would be suprised if they dont lose it in 135 more minutes of play.

 

So would we all. I still don't expect us to get through, but to be the first to take the lead in the tie is nice.

 

5-1 after 2 legs is my prediction. 2-1 Barcelona tonight and 3-0 second leg.

 

I watched the first half in a pub and bloody hell, Dider Droba is a disgrace, going down to eaily for my making, when he scored, i was disappointed.

 

Messi's having a bad day today so far.

 

Your predictions fill me with confidence at least.

 

Except for 2005 and 2007.

 

Well done to Chelsea but Drogba was an embarrassment with his shenanigans.

 

I was pretty neutral watching this match.

Sure I don't really want Chelsea to win, but on the other hand Barcelona irritate the **** out of me with their constant cheating. You're the best team in the world so why don't you just cut out the diving, play-acting and card waving you ****s! you don't need to cheat but you do it anyway >.<

Enjoyed seeing Busquets sky that open goal as well, racist knobjockey.


Beating Barca 1-0 at home is all a team can really hope for so good job to Chelsea. Still think Barca will do them in the return leg though.

 

Well done to Chelsea. Brought these arrogant ****s down to earth. I bet Ronaldo must ave been wearing blue tonight
