Even though the number of knobs in the Chelsea team makes it difficult to admire them sometimes, I've supported them for over 40 years so I can't stop now.
What do you reckon their chances are of getting through Barca tonight?
 
I honestly don't think they have a chance. Camp Nou is a brutal place. If they do it, then DiMatteo should be handed the keys regardless of what happens in the final.
 
About as much as me getting a call from Scarlett Johannson asking me to be her sex slave.

Barca really lack height at the back. Set plays are Chelsea best option and possibly when they are most likely to be exposed by Barca breaking. Ball in the back of the Chelsea goal before Terry has wheeled back over the halfway line. Four nowt Barca.
 
I hope Chelsea get what they should have got out of the first leg, Drogba's antics are a disgrace and Torres should never have left Liverpool - 4-1 Barca
 
As Liverpool fan, but also as an English football fan, I will be rooting for Chelsea. Of course this rule does not apply to Manchester Utd. I support 2 teams, Liverpool and who play Man Utd :)
 
Barca are missing David Villa badly now and Pep has gone slightly strange this season. Dropping big players for youth players in big games has cost them many points. His obsession with evolving Barca into this 343 formation also leaves them light at the back. If he starts with the same kind of side that lost to Real I can see Chelsea pulling out a draw or losing 2-1. If he plays a properly balanced side, starts with Busquets/Xavi/Fabregas in midfield and Iniesta/Messi/Sanchez upfront I expect Barca to win fairly easily.

Then again, never underestimate the fact Terry, Lampard and Drogba realise this is their last chance.

Should be a cracking game. May have a bet on Drogba and 1-0 at 200-1!
 
Chelsea will adopt a 5-5-0 formation like the first leg and stifle the beauty out of the game.
They will probably snatch a couple of chances (and by that I mean two).
Everyone behind the ball and cling on.
That being said, however you win is still a win as has been purported on this very site with regards to golf.
 
really enjoyed the pace and style of play in the first leg, looking forward to it tonight, I hope they dont do 5-5-0 as without a keeper they have no chance:whistle:

if they defend I think they will get thrashed, best form of defence is attack especially to get that valuable away goal. I reckon it will be 2-0 or 2-1 to barcelona
 
Paddy Power are offering odds of 12/1, that Drogba will have an injury attended to during the game, 5 or more times.

Just put 20 quid on, sounds like a sure thing to me
