I really like Benfica. Witsel, Aimar, Gaitan, Cardozo all have great technique and some of their passing is just too good. I want them to win the Portuguese league over Porto and Sporting but tonight, with their defence and everything, its all over.

we should come out pumped. they have a makeshift CB pairing, so play a narrow formation and slide balls through their defence. Torres to continue his resurgence. Barcelona HERE WE COME

yeah.kagawa is a creative genius!

u deserve it, mate. its like u live through this forum.

yeah mate. blue, white and black. no need of fluorescent nonsense

Same here. We were absolutely bollocks at the start. Shouldn't repeat it tonight because last time we dug ourselves out through a fluke drogs goal and the fk from alex. can't give it up to chance now

i was thinkin v just need to get lucky in the 2nd leg of the semis and the final. I completely overlooked the QF second leg, dammit. anyway, signs look good for progressing today.

we will be facin him lol! he won us 2 premships. then the premship won under carlo was won because jose kicked us out of europe and now he is gonna win us the champions league. very clever of RA to sack him

Being Modest

Very funny. But I don't think he will be given a chance to shine next season. What with the wealth of midfield talent we have - Meireles, Mikel, Essien - all word class No, seriously he should be given a chance ahead of these tossers

Piazon has looked good so far, And is showing a lot of promise and i must admit, he is currently better than Malouda. Adds freshness to the attack. I guess we should use Piazon, McEachran, KDB often next season

How do you kknow that? We haven't played Barca since Ovrebo gift-wrapped them a win. And if we keep ourselves organised like v have under rdm, it is possible! What is the harm? If we scrape a win, we are in the final while if we are thrashed, atleast then RA will know summer improvments are definitely needed. Either way we have to go for it!

although i understand the pessimism, if we make it to the semis tonight, ANYTHING is possible. 2 good games or heck, 2 lucky games and we are champions league winners. Rdm sure knows how to get his team lined up, so who says we cant shut Barca out? This may be just blind hope but football is just crazy sometimes. all our shit luck may turn in one beautiful night. so don't give up hope because if we do, then we have already lost, my friend. Come on Chelsea! :blue scalf:

We'll pay Benfica to take Bosingwa and Malouda too

please tell me emerson is playing :lol2:

tough to separate. jaimin, kylehimself, choulo19, bluesmaster and ldn blue would all be worthy winners but in the end pickd capriccioso

Finally its Wednesday!

Cant imagine Barca not winnin dis....they hav had a half a dozen chances

I certainly hope so......!

Hang on....milaaaann!

Lookin at how barca r rippin milan apart right now, no thanks....our squad is just not good enough to match them now

the post is worth the wait. eden hazard would be a good signing and your analysis of his options seem accurate. however, if the manager is not laurent blanc and is rdm or van gaal or someone, i dont think this deal would happen

Fernando has more assists (12) than anyone except Mata but a less goals per game ratio than Kalou. Weird.

every game is a cup final now. in the premship, fa cup, ucl it doesn't mattr. nothin to lose now. go robbie!

to the Milan Barca game not Chelsea
