Favorites according to who?

To you or to a neutral?

The french league may suck, however, that doesn't mean ever team sucks in their league. PSG as a unit is better than Chelsea as a unit. However, as I mentioned earlier, we have a huge advantage in our managers.

I still bet 3-0 or 4-1 aggregate, PSG. Zlatan doesn't need pace to score vs Cahill/Terry and I can bet Cavani giving Dave fits all day long.

In regards, to Willian , hazard and oscar this game will be a great test because their whole backline has good pace and they have the best CB in the world and a solid goalkeeper.

We've been fortunate to have played all shitty teams so far in the Champs League, I'm glad we got someone good this round.

I'm reading your posts and then my eyes are immediately drawn to the flag in your profile. And? I hear you say......I've got you worked out but don't let that spoil your enjoyment of this great forum.

It's neither the worst draw we could have gotten nor the best possible option.

Anyhow I'm happy we got PSG, they are a good team but not the best in the competition; they don't really have much history in the knockout stages; the destination isn't very far for our fans to travel and we will get to see some great duels like Terry vs Zlatan.

Should be a cracking tie. Very much looking forward to it. I'd say we're underdogs here, but never write us off.

You would know the general population of France hates psg minus paris.

I think it is a decent draw. I personally think we are just favourites.

Had hoped for United but, this is going to be exciting of not nervewracking.

[lionsden 4,689]

i won't say this tbh.

Ofcourse Ramires aka rich man's Xavi> Verratti, 35 year old attacking midfielder, Lampard, forced to play in central midfield > Cabaye and Mikelele> Matuidi.

blue tinted glasses in full force.

Football supporters.

I wouldn't say they're better as a unit (or team) in the slightest. They're a group of individuals playing for one reason - money.

We're a team, a proper club.

I'm glad we got PSG too, but I'm not scared of them. They've got some great players but we've got some great men, some real leaders.

Why is PSG players playing for money, but we are not?

Why are we a proper team and they are not. We are both leaders in our respective leagues with exceptional individuals.

We got some great men and real leaders, yet PSG don't? PSG have Thiago Silva, the only person in the world that can possibly mark Messi. I think you discredit PSG too much. PSG is a very good side. They would been a lot better had Carlo stayed on, however, the team as a unit is very good.

Van der Weil-Silva-marquinhos/alex-digne all are pacey. It's going to be a good match, but I wouldn't bet on us to win.

edit.

And all your bs about Zlatan not playing in EPL/the best league will be disproven.

It comes down to the league they play in. Ligue 1 is probably the fifth best league in the world. That is why money is the reason they are playing there.

[Special Juan 27,424]

Yeah because we don't have top players do we.....and not to mention the best manager in the world.

Cut the bullshit, most players play for money.

This is a dumb and stupid argument to bring up for any team.

As far our chances against PSG, I said it's good.

We just need to neutralize Zlatan and most of the damage should be contain.

[Eligius 121]

Look at PSG team overall. They might have selfish and lazy players, but they have a ton of hard workers.....

Matudi, Cavani, Silva, motta and maxwell. You guys speak as if PSG is a team of zlatans, when its a team made for zlatan to shine.

Because we are the only team on earth that pays its players peanut and majority of these peanuts is then voluntarily donated to charities all over the country and it's been a lifelong dream of every single player in our squad to play for Chelsea. haven't you heard?

discrediting the opposition as a way of building confidence is usually a sign of fear and insecurity.

Zlatan, Thiago Silva etc. are all top players who could play in a top league, but they don't. They're in Paris because there's plenty of non-FFP compliant money to be had.

Plus it's great for their reputations to put in world-class performances on the flattest of wickets. It's like when Eto'o went to Anzhi - I don't begrudge him that because the paid him a fuckload of money, but they're not testing themselves against the toughest opposition week in and week out.

PSG might be top of the league but who's second? A team who play in front of one man and his dog and are only where they are because of a joke tax system.

Cut the bullshit, most players play for money.

This is a dumb and stupid argument to bring up whoever brings it up for any team.

Because it's bullshit to say that they aren't playing in a less prestigious league because they earn more for less work. That's not a criticism - any of us would probably love a similar deal - but lets not pretend that winning the French league is on a player's bucket list.

Exactly. people think our players dont play for money, yet we pay tier 1 level in wages and transfer fees...

No-one thinks that. You and lionsden need to actually read what people type.

Winning the CL is the most important thing. PSG build a team for the CL mostly.

What more can you want? Get pay good and play the CL?

Read what.
