If it had been a team from the Welsh or Irish leagues who held on to go through against Barcelona, they'd have been well worth the gushing plaudits in this morning's papers. However the multi-millionaires at Chelsea can hardly claim plucky underdog status. They have one of the most expensively assembled squads in Europe, and should be ashamed that they went through with such a backs-to-the-wall performance. They were thoroughly outclassed in both legs and were very lucky to go through.

........And hopefully they'll be thoroughly outclassed in the final by either Bayern or Real but will still be crowned champions of Europe :D

Am chuffed that Chelsea won, against the odds n all that..... but why the hell did JT deem it neccessary to knee Sanchez up the arse, when the ball was nowhere near ?

He also initially made out it was innocent, like he just ran into him.

This is my problem with Chelsea (and other English teams)......

Back in the day we all supported the English/Scottish lads in Europe.I still do to a certain extent.But it becomes increasingly hard when "our" teams resort to cheating, whether it be diving, blatent fouling etc.

English footballers are idiots, it's one reason that has kept England from performing at the top level. They need to keep a level head and not get sent off for ridiculous reasons e.g. Beckham v Argentina.

i think it was messi who coined the phrase <ok> but what the **** does he know about football?

chelsea had to play negatively and hope for luck, they got it in spades tonight, it is impossible for them to go toe to toe with barca, they will need divine intervention to get through this tie and any football man knows that 2/11 barca to go through tells you the story, 20 minutes into the second leg that will be 1/100

its pointless talking football with people who tell thereselves honestly that the premier league is the best league in the world, its absurd and just plain ignorant

come back on and talk to me after the game next week <ok>

Good evening, fancy that chat?
 
<laugh> trawling back through threads to revive a finished argument

he was right about the odds though, and would've been right if not for a slice of luck <ok>
 
Not really, he said come back next week, I said I would so I did. Not trawling at all, I just came back on here tonight, simple really.

Bit of humour is all, and he was wrong, end of story. Yes you're right, he would have been right had Chelsea not lucked out and scored three times over the tie.
