Hurting comment by José there.... True article. Alex is doing a great job. Never expected him being THAT good.

Haha good one there. No i meant the "I´ve NEVER heard of him, so did anyone ?" like.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Bostock that is fucking frustrating. I just reached 20 and i feel old already

So good and sad in the same moment seeing Joey celebrating on the touchline. He is so good and got wasted by Scolari pushing him into playing even he wasn´t fully fit. It´s a disgrace. Just give him a new deal, not exactly 100.000 per week but a new deal. He is the heart of Chelsea along with JT and Lamps for me

If Furgie sells Ronaldo and doesn´t try to sign Tevez, i´ll having a good laugh. Love it when Furgie is doing wrong

Anelka/Kalou-Drogba-Malouda all of a sudden looks quite dangerous. And TBH why not ? They have it all what it needs to be a good attacking force, haven´t they ? The "Malouda-Happening" is quite interessting to watch i think. Scored twice in three games, and good goals as well. Good to know that there is a winger at last

I think thats why Carvalho and Bosingwa get as much rest as possible. Not meaning they don´t play before the Barca-Match, but not when it´s absoloutly nescessary. Wow, looks like to Chelsea - Man_U finals coming up

Bigmouthy gunners put in their place. Just a deflected goal, a more reliable defence and a strong Drogba ! What would you want more for the future coming up ?

good phrase by Florent there...

Voyeur, watch carefully at the colour and the batch the whirlwind is wearing which tearing your defence apart !

Hello mate have the greatest respects for Everton and especially Villa this season. With a bit more luck and one more strong midfielder they would´ve been so much better. anyways, enjoy your stay

<h3 class="entry-header"> </h3> Tony Cascarino I'm not sure why Barcelona are attracting so much admiration and awe, as if they were one of the greatest sides in history. They're not: they are overrated and Chelsea can beat them in the semi-finals of the Champions League. Because as good as Barcelona are going forward, their defence is suspect and that prevents them from being a truly great team. When I've watched them this season, they've flattered to deceive. Yes, they are fantastic in attack. Samuel Eto'o and Thierry Henry are reborn, we know about Lionel Messi's brilliance, Xavi and Andres Iniesta are very gifted technically. But you can get at that defence, and the reason they've looked so comfortable in advancing to the semi-finals is because they haven't played many decent opponents. They beat Lyons 6-3 on aggregate in the second round but this is the weakest Lyons side for a number of years. They have won seven successive French titles but it's doubtful whether they will continue that run this season. They're not a team to fear, and they did score twice in the Nou Camp. Then, in the quarter-finals, Barcelona beat Bayern Munich 4-0 and home and shared a 1-1 draw away. Instinctively you think that's incredibly impressive because Bayern are a big and famous club with big-name players but they're not a good team. Those pieces don't fit the puzzle, they're a disjointed outfit who are under pressure domestically. The sort of team who will give away chances that you know top forward's such as Barcelona's will take. But the Catalans will concede their fair share of opportunities as well, because of the open, attacking style they play and because their defence and goalkeeper aren't top-drawer. It's why I think that if Chelsea play well at the back they will knock Barcelona out. That might be a big "if" after the 4-4 draw with Liverpool. If Chelsea defend like that again you can't see them knocking out any top European side. But we know Chelsea have the potential to defend better, because some of the goals they have conceded lately were down to individual mistakes from normally reliable players such as Petr Cech. With a central defensive partnership of John Terry and Ricardo Carvalho they will look more secure, and while Ashley Cole won't be there because of suspension, Michael Essien's got the agility and legs to subdue Messi, as he subdued Steven Gerrard at Anfield. It will be a shock to Barcelona to face a really tough team after the easy ride they've had so far in Europe and in Spain, where Real Madrid have been ordinary and Valencia, Seville, Deportivo La Coruna and Villarreal are all not as good as they were. Barcelona have been knocked out of Europe in recent years by Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool. English clubs don't let Barcelona have things all their own way. Liverpool nullified them in 2006-07 by hard work and ground out a result. Chelsea can do that. Stop the service to Henry and Eto'o and they won't run back to chase the ball. Limit Messi and you limit Barcelona. And Chelsea won't be in awe of going to the Nou Camp. They will know they can win there, they won't be intimidated - especially since the first leg is in Spain, giving a real advantage to the Londoners. If the tie is in the balance after the Nou Camp, there's no doubt Chelsea can win. And if they do, if they knock out the favourites, maybe someone will say to me: "Wow, how good were Chelsea?" It might just be that the real question to ask will be "How disappointing were Barcelona?" They're high on a pedestal they don't deserve.

Thought exactly the same

It is even worth questioning why there is not such a ceremony when it comes down to Heysel where Pool fans crashed the italian "non-ultra" stands in Heysel and killed lots of people. Hillsborough is outstanding because it was not down to hooligans that so many got killed there. It was clearly the police fault. It was a terrible desaster for football, but not the only catastrophe worth a memory.

right, they don´t like to play english sides

Arsenals midfield doesn´t look very strong at times. I can see Essien going through them like a train They were good but not outstanding against Villareal

The thing I am afraid of is the pace and speed of Messi. Essien will do good against him but has to be aware of the speed this guy is producing. Barcelona didn´t played a real big side in the competition so far. Bayern was and is a joke. We are far better. And Barca lost some games in the league against way smaller teams. Like Lamps said, we have to play with confidence like at Anfield. Taking the game to them, then anything can happen

A remarkable match, but i never want to go through this again. Defniatly a match with CL-Final Qualities. Heaven and Hell that was

14. His smile

1. Being Mr Chelsea through and through 2. Strongest and most skillfull captain there ever was 3. Being on of the strongest central defenders in football

Going through the higlights again...Anelka was massive yesterday ! That guy deserves some credit, just like Ballack who had an terrbile first half but the 2nd was just brilliant. I wasn´t at work today because of the hangover i´ve had because the game yesterday made me drinking so much

Barcelona need a big pitch to pull off their tricks with Eto´o and Henry playing wide. Stamford Bridge has a small pitch unlike Camp Nou. So, we have John Terry back and a totallly in sharp Essien and an Obi Mikel who can handle at least one of their attacking players. If we survive Camp Nou and not being wrecked i can see us getting past them

The Ref was an nightmare. Oh boy i am drunk AND happy.... Liverpool in their place THAT was one of the most thirilling Champions League games ever !

I am SO nervous about the game. Just like last week. I can´t wait for it to start....and time decides to stand still again

And again i am very happy that fans don´t decide about transfers/sellings
