City will beat Barca i think

Arsenal are out

we should go through

manure will go through too

3 English clubs in quarter finals

I am pretty sure Barca will beat City home and away!

[DD_12 3]

We are coming with didi, it will be hard matches

[The Mak 4,459]

Let's go lads!

[Sheva. 5,373]

Pretty much what everyone wants, lots of big games and exciting ties in there.

Now imagine the Quarters if all the favored teams go through, mental.

[Amblève. 4,995]

Drogs coming back to Stamford Bridge? It was written in the stars.

[bushman 2,043]

thanks mate... so bloody excited!!! cant stop smiling!!!

No problem, just get in touch, I am always willing to...

It´ll be a clash of memories. However, I do not think, Gala has what it takes to knock Chelsea out. Well, it should not happen in my view.

dont be so sure

Drogba will get a well deserved standing ovation before and after the game at The Bridge, but between the first whistle and the last, he is the enemy, and i will be chanting the names off the players trying to take us through, not knock us out.

[The Mak 4,459]

Barca aren't what they once were, but they should just about beat City. I expect City to score, I just expect Barca *cough* Messi *cough* to score more.

[Barbara 15,149]

I don't get all those nostalgic feelings at all.

I'm not pleased at all to play against Drogba and Sneijder - both of which who have won their teams UCL titles in recent years.

Yeah, they're not the players they used to be, but in times like these those players grow.

so Galatasaray would be the last in my wish list (maybe tied with Leverkusen).

What if Didier scores the winner that gets them through? They've kicked Juventus out of the knock-out stage... the Juventus that we couldn't pass by last season

we have drogba, they dont.:DDD

[gary gordon 1,777]

Not being a dick or anything, but scoring against us could really hurt DD's legend status at the club. Before you shoot me down by saying "He will never lose his legend status at Chelsea", think about it, how many club legends have scored against their club?? Not a lot. I would have preferred to avoid this game TBH. He has plenty of time for a standing ovation when Mourninho brings him back next season.

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

When do we get the dates for the matches?

1st leg away 18/02

2nd leg home 25/02

Right. I was thinking that when Arsenal looked like they were going to top the group.

[NiclasCFC 2,582]

Form wise, you could argue that Gala was the easiest of the possible teams we could have drawn. They're third in the Turkish league and haven't exactly been setting the world alight. Even in the CL, they qualified with just 7 points. 90% of the times 7 points means that you're out.

I think Jose was saying that he wants Drogba not just because he wants at the bridge, but also because he knows that it's a good draw for us.

That said, it will not an easy game. No game in the CL is in the knockout stages. I particularly fear for our young players going to a stadium like that in Turkey. Jose will need to work A LOT on prepping them mentally because they are bound to be intimidated.
