waste of money.Chelsea wont be in the final.Bigger pitch at nou camp.Theyll hold out for ten minutes max.

they have luck,whos to say barca wont batter the woodwork like tonight? the pitch isnt that bigger either

[Rohit]

Chelsea have had an incredible amount of luck under Di Matteo. I'm not even being bitter (well maybe a bit), but it's honestly mental. I can't think of many games under him where they haven't been insanely jammy at some point.

They really have, two offside goals against wigan to give em 3 points, a goal that wasn't a goal against totteham and facing  a barca side that made our finishing look top class.

[Bob Loblaw]

I remember everyone "feeling" that United were going to beat Barca last season too.

[Heighwayondawing]

They will defend for their lives until/if  Barca go 2-0 up. Then obviously they have to go all out.

I expect an even more defensive display with Drogba being used to hold up the play, waste even more time than he did today and draw as many fouls as possible.

He won't be afforded the same treatment by the referee in Spain.

[dave 5516]

got to admit Chelsea is the better team than us at the moment in terms of players' quality and reputation in Europe.
We desperately need CL 

That the same Chelsea we've beaten this season?

Random.

[DangerScouse]

I'm sorry, but this is Barcelona we're talking about, arguably the greatest club team all of time. Credit to Chelsea, but  let's be honset, they've been very fortuitous to overcome both Napoli and benfica prior to tonight. One goal lead going to the Nou Camp?No chance! Good night, good riddance, get out Chelsea you plastic c*nts!

Stick to watching Quidditch!!

I've genuinely never seen anything like it. They should have lost to Benfica in both legs as well, and Tottenham battered them in that 0-0 they got in the league. Also there was that non existent penalty at Fulham when they were playing fucking shite.

[EmmaWatson]

the Chelsea we've beaten twice this season was under Luís André de Pina Cabral e Villas-Boas. They are a different team now

What do you mean by better reputation in Europe?

[Johnnyboy1973]

Jammy fuckers.

I cant see Barca missing as many clear cut chances again and would expect them to create more at home.

[Rojo O Muerto]

So people think Messi will be that anonymous 2 games in a row?

[dave 5516]

Oh well then,no point going to Wembley then.

[Noble Nayudu]

the Chelsea we've beaten twice this season was under Luís André de Pina Cabral e Villas-Boas. They are a different team now

And what about Chelsea under Ancelotti? We beat them as well.

[Roady]

To be fair that's what absolutely everyone thought about tonight aswell. Chelsea were like 8/1 to win tonight and 4/1 to get a draw.

different when chelsea are at home.Im going for a barca win by at least 3 goals.And id rather put money on that

[Roady]

ill say it.Barca will make them look shite.theyll score at least 3

Hope to god you're right mate.

[Butter Keks]

How about the Chelsea under Mourinho? Them too.

[Roady]

exactly

[jackbird_lfc]

My hate for Chelsea grew tonight. They're defiantly catching up with United in terms of having that 'c*nt' factor.

[dave 5516]

That Chelsea performance tonight was right out of the maureens playbook and we also beat his Chelsea team too.

[Dubit10]

That's more or less as bad as i've seen Barcelona play this season and they still could have scored what 5 goals? I'd hazard a guess that they will score at least 3 goals in the second leg which means Chelsea will need two next week. Not gonna happen.

[MichaelA]

Roman has a contract on each and every one of them - if they fuck up the CL again they're sleeping with the sturgeon.

[Frank the Tank]

A lot of people talking as if Chelsea were solid tonight and Barca couldn't find a way past them but they still had 4 or 5 clear cut chances. Barca will create even more than they did tonight and they won't be as wasteful.

[Stussy]

The thought of them in the final is hideous.

[bigbear]

Chelsea's luck has changed under Di Matteo. The old guard may all be trying for him but there is only Terry and Cole anywhere near their best. However, the biggest change is luck. Barca should have scored 3 anf could have scored 5 or 6.

[Roady]

The thought of them in the final is hideous.

im not concerned.wont happen

[mb1111]

Fabregas and Alexis getting hammered on Barca forums, not surprising I guess, both have boss individual stats but dont look like they've knitted in properly yet. They miss Villa badly, even if he wasnt at his best earlier this season.

[dave 5516]

That could have easily have been 5-1,and it should have been.If Barcelona had been played off the park by Chelsea then you could understand people being concerned,but this tie could and should be over.

[Zaffarious]

WHAT A JOKE.

barca better batter them in the 2nd leg. chelse were shocking. can u even be proud playing like that? i would understand if they were just some small team, but fucking hell thats the best part of £500m there. i bet Roman is fucking delighted with that spectacle of shit he just watched.

[Fordy]

A lot of people talking as if Chelsea were solid tonight and Barca couldn't find a way past them but they still had 4 or 5 clear cut chances. Barca will create even more than they did tonight and they won't be as wasteful.

Plus Messi had 0 chances tonight.

If Barca would of played a forward on the left instead of Fab then it of been game over already.

Chances are Chelsea will be blown away but they weren't meant to have much chance in the first leg either. You just never know with football.

[tonysleft]

Shades of our final against Barca in that match really, but Chelsea had more luck in terms of Barca's profligacy. They start the game shanking you about the place, you get one quality breakaway that you HAVE to take and both us and Chelsea did it and you go right back to being put to the sword for the rest of the match. It's frustrating to watch when you're on the receiving end of it 
In our case we got destroyed and probably could have been hit for 5 or 6 had Barca not taken their foot off the gas somewhat after Villa's goal, whilst Chelsea were merely lucky that they didn't have their shooting boots on tonight. They'll get done in the second leg.

[Coolie High]

Of course they are proud, they won.

Can't believe Fabregas stayed on as long as he did tonight. They needed another winger on and Iniesta in the centre, he's a little wasted playing out wide, for me.

[And Could He Play]

fucking hell, relax the lot of yer. Barca will win about 4-0.

[Coolie High]

fucking hell, relax the lot of yer. Barca will win about 4-0.

[Roady]

fucking hell, relax the lot of yer. Barca will win about 4-0.

thank fuck youve arrived.people talking as if barca were outplayed tonight.Theyll murder them at nou camp.

[Lee-87]

Drogba wants checking for epilepsy the fucking rat. 

Disappointing is an understatement.. i hope and expect Barca to absolutley tank the disrespectful knob heads in the second leg.

I really miss the champions league
