Ollie

Actually i'm going for Belletti vs Yido's, what a hit, but why isnt sheva's against villa there? was a stunning goal!

Well if Cech is looking set to return within the next week then no, we're completing on 2 fronts with our 3rd choice keeper if you read the whole thing. Cech in a mask and a Helmet lmao, hes gonna look like a fukin bank robber.

No defeat will be bearable at all. Whatever way we get knocked out if indeed we do get knocked out will be unbearable beyond belief. This year, it just aint happening tho, no fukin way!

And another thing......no matter what we are like now and how we're playing, who's in charge ETC, we ARE better than Liverpool. Theres no way players such as Joe Cole, JT and Lamps have forgotten the last 2 encounters. We'll want this more than them.

Yeah its true, its all in the past etc and we cant do anything about it, but to be honest, if we knock liverpool out and win the CL this year, we can finally put that moment to bed after 3 years. These moments, the was it or wasnt it over the line in 2005 or that torturous penalty shootout in 2007 makes this one in 2008 much more than just a CL Semi Final rematch against Liverpool.

Well as long as we beat Man Utd at home then i'll be pretty happy because it would just be a psychological thing to say we wont give it to you. Everyone fucks up, we fucked up against tottenham but i spose to some effect Man Utd have messed up too, i mean they have lost to crap average teams so we cant complain. us and Arsenal have lost 3, Arsenal lost to Man Utd, Boro and Chelsea, We lost to Man Utd, Villa and Arsenal so its the big 3 and one other side each. Man Utd lost to Bolton, Man City twice and west ham. No big 3 or 4 but 4 average sides. Whatever happens, its been a good race.

Well this Manc-Arse game i think was massive and its gonna be extremely hard to win the league now. Man Utd yet again werent even good and won, its so frustrating, a fukin pen and fk. The best hope we have is the Champions League. I wont fully write the title off but it would take a bit of a cock up from the mancs now.

that post from misschief was awesome by the way. Now i just need to post this because we need to avenge this. Everytime i see it, i get mad. The referee was not going to give a pen and send cech off if no goal was scored and of course, the ball wasnt over the line.

Well i kinda liked Shevas vs Villa but as its not there i'll go for hmmm i dunno, none of them are exactly great unlike last seasons nominees. I'll go with Ballacks because the ball from lamps was outstanding.

Sweet, only 4 weeks and the shirts MINE!

theres too much double posting tho thats something i can say. Not enough Editing. There should be some kind of time limit like if no1 replies and you wanna bump it, least wait 6 hrs or so.

I can see this being a pretty mediocre game but should be a comfertable 2-0 win. Maybe we're due to put on a performance for the fans but its unlikely it will actually happen. We'll win anyway tho barring absolute disaster.

Well i wouldnt say that, i mean we have Liverpool in the Champions League Semi Final lol. History is pretty shit on that one. 6 UCL Games against them, we scored just once. Still saying that....So have Liverpool in reality. I can see it being extremely close again.

We Play Man Utd on Saturday 26th at 12:45!! I seriously would consider not going to work if you work every Saturday like i do lol. I'm defo booking the day off. 4 Days after Liverpool away. What a nervy fucking week thats gonna be. Same for Man Utd i suppose.

Well Arsenal a due a win and Man Utd arent even playing that well. I reckon it could be a draw, i'd be happy enough with that.

Liverpool in the semi over 2 legs will be tougher than the final. i would love Barca in the final. That kinda game is what Champions League Football is all about.

I actually agree with Elliott strangely enough but i reckon the last 2 wouldve been different if we were at home 2nd. Grants been lucky this time with having home advantage 2nd but i'll love to see how Grants Chelsea play at Anfield. I hope we play 4-4-2 at anfield but i know we wont.

Only a section?

Well our last 3 Performances at Anfield have been complete shit. We were by far second best in the league game at Anfield this season but we got away with 1-1. We never attack there and i have no idea why. Whatever happens, this tie is gonna be fucking close. The home advantage swings it in our favour i believe but that all depends what happens in the first leg.

We were shit but that was down to nervousness, i could tell that anyway, its not that we're a shit team its just it was a huge game, big occasion and because we were playing a team who we fully expect to beat, it puts pressure on the players. We were good in Turkey, no matter what the result was, we played well in Turkey and lost. Yesterday we were below par and won. Fenerbahce did sweet FA which helped our aid. I thought Ballack was excellent yesterday tho and Kalou & Maka were very good also. I still think we need to go 4-4-2 asap because the 4-3-3 isnt really working to as it should. Over the 2 games, the best team went through end of story. Now we got 'them' again......can't fucking wait. I'm nervous already.

Its strange isnt it really how everyone thinks Barca will be easy for them. They are Barcelona ffs not some mid table french team like Lille who they lost to or benfica who they have also recently lost to in the UCL. I dont see too many 'Great' players in Manchester United team. Rooney, Ronaldo and? who? Vidic and Ferdinand are quite good at the back even tho Ferdinand is hugely over rated imo and can make some great cock ups. Van Der Sar has his moments too. Carrick, Park, Hargreaves, Fletcher, O'Shea, Brown, now these are hardly 'World Class'. Giggs (Passed it), Scholes is playing pretty well but his best days are passed him. I dont see a huge threat there.

I'm over the moon that we have this chance again and this time is our time. Avoiding defeat at anfield is huge. The last player to score at SB for them was Bruno 'The Next Zidane Cheyrou like 4 years back and that was about 10 games ago in Chelsea liverpool games at SB. Would love us to nick a goal away and even 1-1 would be sweet. Coming home from the game yesterday i was so happy it was untrue, i wanted Liverpool, if i could pick any team in europe to knock out of the UCL its them. 2nd leg at SB is massive. 3rd time lucky hopefully, if they beat us again, i'll never live it down. I wouldnt be able to comprehend 3 semi KO's by liverpool in 4 years and 4 Semi KO's in 5 years. That aint worth thinking about. It just cannot fucking happen.

Man Utd are crap without Rooney & Ronaldive tho, they really are cack. Barca may have been shit for a few weeks (well actually 1 year) but Champions League Semi......Barca will knock Man Utd out. If Ronaldo has an off day, Man Utd have an off day. I still dont reckon man utd at all. Theres something about them, i dont think they are anywhere near as good as what ppl say. Barca will prove that.

Welcome to TC, nice intro. Hope you enjoy your stay here. Ive seen lots of those Chelsea - Serbia badges on the net so its good to have someone from there on here. Nice shirts.

man if they score, its gonna be crazy. I went to Chelsea vs Galatasaray in 99 and we luckily stopped them from scoring thank fuck.
