Let's make us proud, let's make history! Come on boys!
-
I just seriously hope we will not concede a goal in the early minutes, otherwise it would be a bloody long night. One Ivanovic's long throw-in can do the job! Come on, boys! Show us the spirit and willingness to fight and you cannnot be the losers tonight.

Cesc Fabregas is writing a book about his time at Arsenal ... it has no title.
-
A lot of tense and stress etc...so just relax for a few moments
-
Another heart-breaking Lampard penalty?
-
To score a goal would be something absolutely stunning, it would give us such a big chance. We will need to take advantage of every single corner or set-piece as we won't have too many opportunities I suppose. Ivanovic's throw-ins are in as well. The lad just needs to be cautious as a yellow card for him would mean a stop for next match (hopefully still in this season).

My reaction to that was nowhere near to yours lol. Actually I've started to be really worry

A bit of stats This will be the 12th meeting between Barcelona and Chelsea in the Champions League. Only Real Madrid and Bayern Munich have played against each other more times in this competition (13). Chelsea are the only side who have faced Barca more than four times in the Champions League who can boast a positive head-to-head record against the Catalans (W4, D4, L3). Barcelona have suffered four defeats against Chelsea in the Champions League, more than against any other side. Chelsea are unbeaten in their last six Champions League games against Barcelona, four of which have been draws. Over these last six meetings, only once has each side managed to score more than a single goal in a game (2-2 at the Camp Nou in October 2006) Chelsea and Barcelona have met four times in knockout ties in the Champions League, with the Catalans progressing on three occasions. Barcelona last beat Chelsea in February 2006 when the sides met in the last 16 of the Champions League. The Catalans won 2-1 at Stamford Bridge. On each of the three occasions that Barca lost the first leg of a Champions League semi-final, the Catalans have exited the competition. In the first leg Barca had six times as many attempts on goal (24-4) and shots on target (6-1) as Chelsea, but still went on to lose the game 1-0. Chelsea are the only team to have opened the scoring in each of their 11 Champions League games this season. Chelsea only completed 158 passes in the first leg at Stamford Bridge, the only team that registered fewer successful passes in a Champions League game this term was APOEL Nicosia (124, in a 0-3 home defeat to Real Madrid in the quarter-finals). Chelsea had only 20.9 per cent of possession in their 1-0 home win in the first leg and became the first team to win a Champions League game with a possession rate lower than 24 per cent since Opta’s detailed data collection began in 2003/04. Chelsea are the team Lionel Messi has played the most against in the Champions League without scoring: seven games, zero goals. Petr Cech (48) has had to make 39 more saves than Victor Valdes (9) in the Champions League this season. Only Roman Weidenfeller (40 per cent) has a worse saves-to-shots ratio in this season’s Champions League than Victor Valdes (52.9 per cent)

Re the Barca game
-
Another encouraging stats - we have managed to score in every away game in this Champions League season so far.
-
12 years ago Hopefully really really far from being actual.
-
After one his tackle yesterday I was really afraid of him being booked, meaning he would miss the second leg. He was not that reliable as he normally is.
-
In recent years, we have quite a good record at Camp Nou. 2004/2005 We lost there 2-1 2005/2006 We drew there 1-1 2006/2007 We drew there 2-2 2008/2009 We drew there 0-0 I would bite your hands for any of these results.
-
Alex, I think I remember something like if we win the match, you will be happily working naked?
-
Dear Barcelona, It seems your goals are not loading properly, you may want to CECH your connection.
-
Can't wait for all the little bastards to start complaining how dirty our players are, how we never stopped kicking them etc. And I am looking forward to it! Come on guys, enjoy every second if this win!
-
lol at this Cesc Fabregas : "It's always difficult playing Chelsea. When I was at Arsenal, we attack, attack, attack.. and then Drogba scores"
-
Meireles was quality lol, a team player willing to sacrifice himself by receiving a booking (his attempts to stop Messi were great lol) meaning he would miss the second leg. The clean sheet could be vital. If only we managed to score there, that would be something. Still can't get over Lampard and his tackle against Messi and his pass to Ramires when everybody expected pass to Drogba. Stunning piece of football.
-
His tackles and commitment, my god nothing but respect for the lad.
-

-
We will bloody need to be so organized at Camp Nou with hell of a team spirit. But an away goal, THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING! Anyway, I just can't believe what we just seen. 1 shot on target, boom 1-0. Cech, Cahill, Terry. Cole, Lampard, Drogba....absolutely stunning performances! And it is a good feeling to have lady luck in your side this time. BRING ON CAMP NOU! PROUD OF THE BOYS

Well honestly he got it in the bollocks lol
