The man is a beast in Europe. Has scored so many important goals for us and I can see him coming off the bench to do it again. Just wish his finishing in the PL was better.

1 Important.

[darrus 422]

I hope we're not riskikg Cech/playing him injured. Just not worth it.

If he's fit it will be a boost, but I think he'd be on the bench just in case anything happens to Schwarzer.

[LAM09 6,552]

Mad to think Cech is fit to play tomo.

[Pizy 17,860]

So if we do advance who do we all want in the final?

Bayern for me every time. Think our personnel and style match up better against them.

Real Madrid for me, I think it'll be easier to counter attack against them.

I think it's just an amazing achievment that the team which last year won the Europa League, are now one win away from the Chmapions league final for the second time in three years. You can't write this stuff..We really do have the best manager in the world.

I think Bayern would actually be. Look at that last game against RM and the tie against United. RM could've scored 3 or 4 on the break when Bayern were completely exposed since they have so many men committed forward. Even Welbeck had plenty of opportunities with balls hoofed over the top.

Bayern struggle to change their play style just like Barca do as well as Arsenal and Liverpool. They can really only play one way. I'd be terrified of CR7 and Bale. Ribery and Robben ain't shabby either, but Bayern haven't looked like the unstoppable side that they looked last year.

bayern already got their 3 finals in 4 years. if they manage into the final this year, it'll be 4 finals in 5 year. pretty scary achievement even though im pretty sure their reign will be over under pep management

[darrus 422]

I can't help but think that it'll be Real Madrid and we'll come and spoil another party right as they get ready to celebrate their 10th CL.

But would prefer Bayern.

[ZOS 580]

come on guys ... enough with the jinxing

[haranr 485]

Believe! Come on CHELSEA!

[BlueLyon 9,359]

If we reach finals, I realy think it doesnt matter who we get.

Real is deadly on counter, but their defense isnt best and the pressure will be on their side big time; CL final itself, being favourites, wanting 10th trophy etc...

On other side, Bayern has better defense, but they realy need lot of time and chances to score. Last year bayern, I would be afraid, but this year, we have chances if we face them. They have changed system; now they are more exposed in defense and less efficient in attack. Similar to barca, except they are stronger side, considering size of players.

In theory, I fear Real more because they realy can punish you on good day. They can score from distance (Bale; Ronaldo), they are fast and still have good defenders. But their concentration realy is bad. They can put brilliant match and week later bad one. Bayern hasnt convinced me yet, they were better last year. However, if they go more direct football (like against ManU after conceding), they are still very strong.

All in all, both teams will keep the ball and attack more. If we manage to not concede, we can frustrate them and punish them on counter. If they score early goal or so, we will need to attack and they could destroy us on counter.

But lets wait, we need to win tomorrow first. Believe!

[darrus 422]

That's it - we need to win tomorrow. 1-1 and we're out, and I'm afraid. Very afraid.

I believe in our team, but still, those matches are scary.

[cosmicway 1,256]

The Peter Cushing-Christopher Lee scenarios:

- 0-1 down, all out to equalize, hit the cross bar 25 times, then 0-2 Liverpool style.

- 1-0 up, they get equalizer in the 87th minute.

How Cech is fit? it's unbelievable!!

There is press conference today?

I heard that Cech put his shoulder back in place on the pitch. Pretty remarkable & painful to say the least. If Eva said he can play, then I am good w/ that. TBH our injuries hasn't been terrible like they were. Remember that Ballack incident when the club mis-diagnose his condition?

p.s.....I just spoke to my Dr Friend @rashthedoctor & he said the recovery time for a dislocated shoulder is 2 months. Hmmmm
