Blues to face Man United in Champions League

[Madmax 9,219]

We have a chance to possibly exact revenge on the winners of the past 3 seasons- United, Inter and Barca. All had to beat us on their way to the crown remember. This may just be our year finally:cfc:

This Champions League tie has alot to do with the league aswell.

Not bad. So far my post of why Chelsea can win the CL still holds.

This is Carlo to loose. A weaken united in defense, should take care of them. Have to improve from the last game against United. Torres and Drogba need to start polishing their boots. But hey i would not be amazed to be right again that i said i expected Torres to start being good by April. Just in the right time we need him!

Agree a good result at home will be vital.

The teams to go through are: REAL MADRID, CHELSEA, BARCELONA and INTER MILAN. note that all these teams have their first leg at home.

Hope happy days are coming.

Nice draw anyway. it doesnt matter if its first leg at SB or not. we just have to beat them. Carlo should be motivated now with his FANTASTIC MOMENT. lol

Chance to get revenge for all the shit over the years. Man Utd, Inter, Barca final you never know.

Shame we couldnt have had Monaco in the group and Liverpool in the last 16.

[Kostas 1,468]

Absolutely terrible draw as far as I'm concerned.

Not surprising but I can't see why would anyone want a team of United's experience and sheer luck at this stage. We've got some time until the game and we better start creating chances from open play because we are not going to get any penalties against them in Europe, especially with them moaning about the last 3 league games between us.

Fucking UEFA..

This will certainly be an interesting tie, we certainly have it in us to go through, especially if we can get some form and get our strikers scoring because this United team is not that strong.

[Milan 17,854]

Vidic is already shitting bricks - once again, he has to face Fernando Torres and not only in one game lmao. Or maybe only in one game, another red card for him?

[Badboy 1,526]

We would do Schalke, Tottenham and Shakhtar. Altho Shakhtar are a very good team, i do believe we would edge past them. Arsenal did beat them 5-1 remember. Tottenham.... there's no way we'd let them KO us from Europe, no way. Schalke is by far the easiest draw.

For fucks sake Ollie, have you got a crystal ball or something ? Are we going to win the European cup this season ?

[gary gordon 1,777]

Lets not forget that our best player vs United the season is cup tied....

[magic weeds 446]

Lets not forget that our best player vs United the season is cup tied....

...yes, and the second one cannot ref european games!!!! lol. United fans are talking of revenge.

[Milan 17,854]

...yes, and the second one cannot ref european games!!!! lol. United fans are talking of revenge.

At the same time, their best player for years Webb can't ref those games.

[HRiver 1,512]

Not the easiest or the best of draws, but we have a great opportunity to:

1. Have our revenge for the defeat in Moscow

2. Have our revenge against Inter who knocked us last year

3. Have our revenge against Barcelona in the Wembley final, for knocking us out unfairly in 2009

If we win it the way I mentioned, it would be the sweetest way to lift the trophy - by knocking out all of the teams that have made life hell for us in the past recent years.

And it doesn't matter that the first leg is at the Bridge, the away goal rule still applies the same. Remember Inter played all of their first leg games at home last season (against us, CSKA and Barca) and they won in all of the home games and then got through and won it all.

This year is our year definitely. COME ON YOU BLUES

[Milan 17,854]

Is Ovrebo still eligible to ref the CL games? UEFA will do anything possible to prevent us from winning it. Expect some surprise like Webb being the main ref

There is a press conference with Carlo about to start. He will surely be asked about Man United, although I expect him to ignore it and focus on Man City instead, which would be the right thing.

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

Like Obama said : YES,WE CAN !

This is the time for revenge.First ManU,then Inter,and finally Barca.

Very important first match,but I don't think we can win it easily.We have to be at our best and we must not concede at the Bridge.

Chelsea 2:0 United

United 1:1 Chelsea

3 games against Manure in one month time...

[Term-X 7,891]

You already know Terry will be man of the match for both legs.

United already have a HUGE advantage with the 2nd leg being at old trafford though.

[Kostas 1,468]

3 games against Manure in one month time...

5 in a single season. The new Liverpool.
