Paris won't be a nice place tonight

I went there to see the reds in 1997 when we got beat 3-0.

The highlight was the journey home when they took the coach escort very slowly through a notorious Parisian park (bois de boulogne?) where the "ladies of the night" inhabit. This place had brasses running in out of the bushes, half-naked and more. The coach was rocking from side to side with people shouting "look here", "have you seen this one" etc etc.

I reckon the police did this on purpose to take our mind off the result, it worked! ;)
 
Even Sturridge up there would give a different outlook

Ba never been in the picture - not sure why as he is a very good front runner and goalscorer

Rumours are that Lukaku wants it stay at Everton

Sturridge didn't really get the chance at Chelsea as they insisted on sticking with Torres. Chelsea will definitely spend big again in the summer on a striker.

Which striker though ?

Thought Lewondonski would have been perfect

Maybe Manduzikic ? Costa ? Diamo

Not sure what strikers will be available
 
I watched the game in a Paris pub - not aware of any other brits and certainly no Chelsea fans. Packed with PSG fans - passionate but almost oddly civilised. Many had had a meal and were still sitting at there tables as they watched. And one thing I noticed about a big group of 20-30yr olds. Most had no more than 3pts to drink over the duration of the game. In fact I didn't see anyone pissed in that pub - packed though it was.
 
Got interesting in the two ties tonight

Dortmund pull 2 back against Madrid and it's now 3-2

And Chelsea are 1 up to have the tie at 3-2 also but have an away goal
 
I thought the Madrid game was as good as over after the 1st leg. Chelsea played well 1st half,should be a cracking 2nd half.
 
give them Bayern or Madrid in the Semi, can't be doing with Maureen in the final, his head would have its own atmosphere!

Don't be too bitter Gibbo,your team will finally be back in the CL next season For the group stage at least).
Then we'll see how good Maureen's tea boy is :D

Dont put it past them taking down either of them. They have got their tails up now, will be hard to beat.

They will believe so much its happening again, that belief can be hard to stop!

It depends on what his priority is. Depending on how the Liverpool v city games goes this Sunday, the Liverpool v chelsea league game will be sandwiched between both semi final legs. It could be an interesting use of his squad over 8 days.

Tbh I think the CL is priority as it's in their own hands & Its the big prize. But think Chelsea have a strong enough squad to go for both.
