Back to square one. Clueless again, fecking Potterball. Everton cannot score, this will end 0-0.

Real's defense is only Cu(n)tois.

The final is Benfica v. "x".

It's Real who don't like this draw more than we don't like it. As for City/Bayern next it does limit our chances of becoming finalists if they are so unbeatable but it does n't limit our chances of winning the trophy.

It's predetermined however that we play against the winner of City v. Bayern in the semi ! That does n't affect our chances of winning the champions league but limits our chances of becoming the finalists.

The draw was not bad. Ok Inter or Milan would have been the theoretically easy takes, but we 'd have to face one of the big boys eventually. The positive is City and Bayern were drawn against one another so we have three "giant opponents" now but we will be left with one if go through. Next Napoli and Benfica I expect will both be in the semis and they are of course decent sides both. RM have Vinicious but they are not unbeatable. In 2021 we disposed of them with relative ease, last year despite having much improved they were superlucky (Mendy's gift - Rodrigo through the eye of the needle in the replay).

We would n't get stuffed by Sporting if we were right in the midst of the Lampard wall of Lampard walls. Arse's European cabinet of trophies does n't exist. Spurs probably have a bigger one.

Historically players from what leagues have been the most succesful and least succesful at Chelsea ? Make separate lists for attackers and defenders if you can.

Azpi will be 34 and he is not like Tiago. Unlike Tiago his position demands of him to cover many kilometers. Pulisic and Auba are definitely not Chelsea material. I disgree with the decision to sell Kova, while Mount and RLC are erratic but sometimes brilliant. I think with PSG in the state they are in we have a chance to hit Mbappe.

That was a good win. Leicester played better than any European opposition so far !

Inter are an abysmal pile of crap, lost 1-2 to Spezia, Lautaro missed pen. Easiest of opponents if they eliminate Porto, which they won't.

Ideal for us is AC Milan whom we have already beaten twice this year and the success over Spurs does n't make them of course any sort of great team. Then come Porto who will dispose easily of Inter Milan, then Napoli.

Bayern were the winners of 2019-20. Then they fell victim to the freak snowstorm in 2020-21 and last year the shock from Villareal. Villareal were coached by Unai Emery who should be the next Chelsea manager. For me Bayern Munich are the clear favourites. Then come Pep and Real Madrid or Real Madrid and Pep and I give a good outside chance to Benfica.

We lost 2-0 to that sh*thouse.

Spurs are a sh*t team.

Dortmund was for seven goals aggregate. Their defenders are cub scouts. We scored only two. The chances of Potter getting any better are infinitessimal, with the present forward line at any rate.

Benfica who are going to win the champions league ?

I 'd like to see Spurs.

Cucu was brilliant though.

True.

Potter out. He can't deal with packed defenses and the Gerries are not good at it.

If it was n'y for the encorachment Havertz would have scored off the post and then ruled off side. Porto next.

He may win today -let's hope- for the reason I explained.

The Germans are not good at man to man marking. This works for Chelsea and we should have had more by now, including the first leg.
