Chelsea V Barca tonight

Yes I am English but I hope Real or Bayern beat Chelski in the final!

can't stand Abramovich, cole, terry, lampard or didier whingeanddivealot drogba.

Barca needed to up the tempo and couldnt, very 1 dimensional. Oh well, at least Terry made an ass of himself :D
 
So if Chelsea win the Champions league they get the premier league 4th place champions league spot ?? Not good news my teams Spurs & Newcastle who are fighting for what they thought was champions league footie!

Edit, appologies just realised there's a thread on such a subject.

Yes, that's right. However I think this is the last year that this situation can happen (it was brought in I think after Liverpool beat Milan and finished 5th) so Spurs and Newcastle will be ok if either finish 4th next season!!

Well done Chelsea , I was cheering them on after watching Barca's cheating antics. Diving and conning the ref all of the time I'm glad they got turned over.

It must be said though Chelsea were absolutely battered over 180 minutes and its a freakish outcome but the best team doesnt always win - thats football for you.
 
Even though I hate chelsea with a passion I oddly found myself egging them on, maybe im ill... I hope Real Madrid get through and absolutely spank them, Wouldn't be able to bear Ashley Cole, Drogba, Mikel, Ivanovic or Terry lifting that trophy... Plus the look on Mourinho's face if he beat them would be priceless :D

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?

Before kickoff tonight I would have said nil...zip....zilch. It was a bit of a backs to the wall performance but fair play to them for pulling it off. Pleased for Torres after all the torment he's been through since his transfer. And wouldn't it be ironic if De Matteo wins the CL after all the big name managers Abromovich has brought in over the years.

But John Terry.....what a knob! Did he honestly think he would get away with such a blatant kick?!?!
 
Chelski to go 2-0 down and 10 men, Captain gone, central defense in tatters, striker practically playing leftback, against the best team in the world and then they score TWICE.... you can't write that kinda stuff!! Unbelieveable... I loathe Chelsea and it was terrible to watch... like a baby zebra being attacked by a pride of lions..... for Torres to score was drama that was beyond me... THAT'S why I watch sport, not just football but all sport.. it was like watching someone shoot 8 under on the back 9 to win by one shot when they'd just snapped all their clubs on the front 9 :)

Didn't know whether to laugh or cry through most of it... totally agree with the 17,000 sideways passes post... wish Barca could have taken a few shots from 20yds!!!! Still their loss I guess but it was weird seeing such intricate play being so boring.

I give Chelsea a chance in the final regardless of which team they face... although I'd prefer to see them play Bayern as Ronaldo is a smug git and I'd rather see him miss out than Franck Ribery who works his socks off.

Dont think Mourinho gets any satisfaction out of beating Chelsea to be honest we saw that when Inter knocked them out a couple of seasons ago, it was a quick handshake after the match and down the tunnel he went, the team Mourinho gets the most pleasure out of seeing lose or to beat is Barca as when Inter knocked them out he went running onto the pitch fists in the air and all kinds of gestures. With Madrid winning Barca at the weekend and now them losing to Chelsea will give him far more satisfaction than winning Chelsea in the final.
 
well despite so many saying it was a terrible game:confused: I thoroughly enjoyed it...

You play the best team in Europe at their Home ground
You go 2-0 down
You are then reduced to 10 men
They miss a penalty
You get the 2 goals back and one within stoppage time:eek:
That's hollywood schmaltzy movie stuff.........

try watching Dunfermline against Aberdeen on a snowy miserable day and its 0-0 and you'll appreciate why I thought that was great to watch and great for football and sport in general:thup:
 
As a Palace fan I have sat through many games where wqe are being outplayed yet held on to a slim lead/draw. Not all teams play the same and whilst Chelsea are all internationals thyey were not as goos technically and they do not ply the barca way, to be honest I think Barca are flawed in that they have no other options, they cannot adapt to win a game where their style is being stifled. Well done Chelsea, and Barca, you best wake up because you may find some of LaLiga were watching last night and can expose you a bit more next season.

Pep for manager next year...hmmmmm... not sure????
 
I thought the headline in The Sun was brilliant today:

'Terry sent off, Messi misses pen, Chelsea reach Champions League final...but, most incredible of all: Torres scores!'

I only watched the second half so I only saw Chelsea defend for 45 minutes but that's the way it is sometimes. Roy Keane said after the first leg that at this level it's all about putting in the yards and grinding out wins. Chelsea did that last night.

It's nice to have an English team in the final but I'm not sure I'll like seeing Cole, Drogba, etc lifting the cup. At least Terry won't!
