In fact the only clubs wanting us to do well are Arsenal and Spurs so we are fatigued for our slim chance of fourth! Seems we are as hated as ever
Actually I think the north Londoners may be getting a wee bit worried that we could win it and cost one of them a C.L place!! I call it...'the dream scenario'
I dont think you will find 1 Spurs or Arsenal fan that thinks you have a hope in hell of getting past Barcelona, in fact you'd be hard pushed to find a Chelsea fan that truely thinks you have a chance there. No disrespect meant, but they are on another planet.
If we play Barcelona of course. Milan ain't there to make up the numbers. And we have to get through yet.
You never know. Messi could injured v Milan tonight! Or we could get a ref that favours us. Or we could introduce SAF's no penalties for the opposition rule ....
For an ordinary club such as yourselves that would be a natural assumption which is why you thought it. Chelsea's record against Barcelona is better than any other British team. How can you forget the thrashing 4-2 we gave them at the bridge and the 0-0 draw where we held them in Spain. The few times Barcelona have beaten us have been down to a terrible piece of luck where they scored in the last 30 seconds of injury time after being outplayed for most of the game and the highly contentious Ãvrebø scandal where the referee had an anti Chelsea agenda and denied us two clear penalties out of four claims. In short Barcelona don't like Chelsea's style and have found it difficult to play us plus being a knockout cup competition I would say it gives us every chance should we have to face them.
Well this Utd fan didn`t hope you would lose last night. Seeing as CFC are our only representatives left in Europe i hope you can go all the way. If you get Barca, i hope you get better ref decisions than last time you played them. To this day i still honestly believe that those in power had decided they didn`t want a consecutive all English final. Good luck.
