[Johnnyeye 7,501]

Our possible opponents next round: Gent, Roma, Juventus, PSV, PSG, Benfica. Any toughts ? Cheers

[Johnnyeye 7,501]

I'd love to think like that but I can't, I am still a little worried about qualifying for the last 16!

Let's qualify first, after that we can start dreaming

You can start dreaming now hehe

Hi everyone, i don't know if anyone as seen this, but just hear me out on this one, please don't criticize me for it, some interesting facts: Mourinho won his first Champions League with Porto in 2004 and 6 years later he won it with Inter Milan in 2010, that makes a span of 6 years in which Mou reaches 2 finals and wins with different clubs. Now 6 years later the final in 2016 is at the San Siro, destiny maybe? i don't know, but now comes the interesting part: Chelsea reached their first final in 2008 and lost, then 4 years later they reach the final again in 2012 and win, now 4 years later in 2016? can you see the connection i'm trying to make here? with what happened to us in 2012, qualifying in the last group game, being knocked out early in the capital one cup to eventual winners, we could say it's written in the stars and all, i'm not saying it implies anything , it's just coincidences, and Stoke might not even win the COC and we don't know if we will even reach the final of the FA Cup and meet Stoke there, but nothing surprises me anymore in football, to be fair and us having a troubled season now just like back then i wouldn't bet against it, it's an assumption, but for that to even happen we have to win the last game against Porto first. What do you all think? Cheers

@stroey

now we have reached the knockout stages, so one thing less to worry about.

It's happening...

Seriously, i'm not a superstitious person, but in this case, i really like to think so.

Great read, as always, pleasure talking with you, Johnny.

Don't want to play PSG again, it's getting a bit dull...and not to mention a bit worried since they are much stronger then last season.

Juventus woudn't want them either, so please give us any of the others. :blue scalf:

Thanks mate , now that would be a real dream if we won it again wouldn´t it? Cheers

Well we got nothing to play for in the PL just avoid relegation....should be easy. Don't know about finishing in 4th spot.

But if everything is lost, then don't kill yourself in the PL. Rest your important players for the CL matches.

Hopefully we can have a repeat of 2012.

No matter who we get in the draw, we all know that once you reach this stage of the competition, there are no more easy games, all those teams are in the last 16 for a reason, so it depends on us to take no one for granted and do our job, even if the opponent looks weak on paper. Any team will be ready for the challenge when the time comes and so will we hopefully. Let´s make the most of this chance. Cheers

That handball given for Arsenal wasn't much different than Costa v. Bournemouth to be honest.

The 2012 win was a miracle, anyway we look at it, but all credit to us for fighting to the end and never giving up when all seemed lost and we made our own luck then and deserved to win it, we had everything going our way and add to that the big characters we had: (Lampard, Drogba, Terry and co. ) destiny? farking yes I would go trough all of that again if it meant we win it again, who knows? anything can happen in football, we have to believe it´s possible even if all seems dark. Let´s try it, we have nothing to lose. God bless football. Cheers

Yes they are doing very well. My friend plays for them Moses Simon.

Was very good again btw, gave the assist for the first goal. First Belgian team in the second round of the CL in 15 years. Really incredible actually, especially because it was their first title ever, last year... And they did it with very positive football.

Yeah I watched the game last night as I recorded it. I spoke to him yesterday and he was very confident so I am very pleased for him.
