    I've had a tingling about this competition all along. We are fired up for the big games and that makes us well equipped to do well in this competition. We've not lost a two legged European tie since United in 2010/11.

    Brush down Saturday and let's get ourselves to Lisbon. Gonna be difficult against this Atletico team but the gap between us is not as big as some might think.

    I am convinced we will be at the final. We are the form team for big games and I have a feeling we are just as scary to Bayern and Real as Athletico are. Get a decent result tomorrow and I fully expect us to be playing the final. Can't wait. I'll see you lot at the home leg hopefully. <ok>

    Some fun news - Eto'o hasn't travelled. Van Ginkel has.

    Very strange...

    In answer to DL, of course we can. Jose will be going all out for this now.

    Not totally covinced, Sunderland was a big game, 4 PL wins we'd be PL champions and we bottled it. Same with FA Cup and Carling cup

    According to the bookies you are the least likely to win the CL which I think is harsh. I'd put you 2nd just behind Real.

    Bayern are **** and their odds must be based on last year and their complete farce of a league.

    With the players that are ineligible, those that are injured and Brana that's suspended, I reckon we might have to fly out some of the Chelsea Ladies to put out an XI!

    So every team that doesn't win a trophy has bottled it then according to you. Couldn't just be that the opposition was better then :huh:

    As a betting man I think Atletico are worthy favourites for this, as they are stronger in most positions than Chelsea. Chelsea have been struggling all over the park this season, and are only 2nd in the PL table, due to it being one of the poorest PLs in recent memory.

    I really do think Atletico will win this comfortably, they just have far to much quality for Chelsea. There is no way Chelsea would get anywhere near the top of the table in Spain, they'd be flagging along way behind the front 3 in 4th:biggrin:

    I thought very hard about this post and in all honesty I can't disagree with a single word of it.

    Stupid boy indeed


    Great post Drogs <applause>

    To be fair he might have a point. After all only 6 teams have managed to finish above United. That's poor.

    Any predictions for tonight lads?

    I'm going for a 2-1 loss but hope we can turn it around at the Bridge.

    There has been a bit of talk of us going with Luiz at rb rather than Cole coming in but I wonder if we might go 3 at the back with Ramires and Dave pushed on a little for a 3 5 2.

    Cech

    Luiz Cahill Terry

    Ramires Lampard Mikel Willian Dave

    Torres Schurrle

    1-1

    Still think Hazard will play despite missing training.

    I also think 1-1 though.

    If Hazard does play then I'd drop Torres as we did at PSG.
