I am sorry if you dont like another opinion to your own. I wish you all the best but being honest l cant see you winning. The football world will be behind Barc because of their beauty, style and ethos. Chin up Sid
Can agree with you about Barcelonas' standing, but PLEEEEESEE stop the "small club " horse ****. If we are a small club , what does that make United, City, Arsenal, Spurs , Ajax, PSG, Porto, Roma, Milan ( both ) Juventus, Panathanikos... shall I go on ????? Don't see any of them in the QF for 6 years in a row. Only very small minds think we are a small club. And small minds mean small intellect, as evidenced by your post. Roman has so far failed to buy any CL win, but we are light year ahead of all and any other PL team in the recent CL history. Suck it up, you ring piece.
3 finals in 4 seasons, to go with 3 titles and 5 finals in total. I'd say its makes them a bigger club than Chelsea! Same with Ajax, Inter, AC , Juve etc. Making the Qf's is great but in the big scheme of things, matters not, as far as history is concerned. It's just the same as stupid Arsenal fans taking the piss out of Liverpool because they play in the CL every year. But they still can't win it!! Lots of teams play in the CL every year like Moscow or Panathnikos etc. This is what matters: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_European_Cup_and_UEFA_Champions_League_winners However your right that Chelsea arn't a small club but they are not a European heavyweight either. Ther'e all at the top of that list.
We#re not saying that, we accept our chances are minimal, but when I hear things like "Chelsea have NO chance" and "Barca will thrash Chelsea" it's ridiculous. We are in the semi's for a reason and the fact that we have played Barca on numerous ocassions and held our own suggests to me we won't get thrashed. When we played Barca in 1999 when they had the likes of Rivaldo, Figo, Kluivert, Gabri, Xavi etc and the gulf between the sides was far larger then but we took them all the way.
