So ... run me through what the situation tomorrow night is again?

Whoever wins goes through,
If it's a 0-0 draw Chelsea go through on away goals ...
If it's a 2-2 or higher draw Valencia go through on away goals ...
If it's a 1-1 draw ... Valencia go through on group goal difference? I think?

So basically, if Valencia score ... you have to win. If they don't, a draw will do. Right?
 
0-0 or a win and were through, anything else were out, irrelevant of the other results. Come on chels lets have it !!!!!
 
Gonna be no nails left tomorrow morning!!

We really need to go out and finish it in the first half otherwise it will be panic stations going into the last 20 minutes or so. I can imagine us getting one and then having to hold on for a 1-0 in the 2nd half.

We are in big **** if they score first though.

Worse case scenario though we get a chance at the Europa, a cup we have never won (including in its Uefa Cup format) cos this side is nowhere near good enough to win the C.L anyway as it stands.
 
Don't even mention the U-Ropey-Cup <grr>

To be fair, its an OK comp once you get to say the 1/4 finals onwards. It's just the whole group stage thing that's a farce being made up with the likes of 'the dog and duck', some part timers from countrys I didn't know existed and...Fulham.

Maybe I'm old enough to remember when being in Europe at all was a privilege!!
 
I remember watching chelsea playing in about 5ft of snow in the good old cup winners cup!

The relegation of CL teams into the Europa should be scrapped and it should just be a straight knockout competition from the beginning.
 
Cech, Ivan, Luiz, Terry, Cole, Ramires, Romeu, Meireles, Sturridge, Drogba, Mata.

Lamps is benched! He ain't gonna like that <yikes>
 
Nah I think Drogs is in better form, he works well with Mata and Dan aswell. Plus Torres has no match fitness at the moment. Another night of Luiz heart troubles!
 
Yeah sadly though we are weak at the back and i'll be at the edge of my seat everytime Luiz goes anywhere near the ball. Expect to see a new right back in January so that Iva can move alongside JT.

C'mon Chelsea!!!
 
We could even top the group and now get easier opponents in february. We've really turned up tonight, all having great games, especially Drogs!
