Blues to face Man United in Champions League

[True_Blue 469]

I am confident we can win over any of the teams left if we perform.On our day we are unbeatable.

Not the worst draw in the world, but it won't be easy.

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.

Övrebö retired

Here is what RedCafe is saying

Shite.

Crap they have United's number

Very worried, worst team to get after Barca.

The draw I did not want at all.

Worst draw we could have had after Barca.

In fact Chelsea are just getting back into form or will get into and we are terrible against them most of the times. Have a pretty poor record against them.

I am not really sure of winning here. Chelsea would be clear favorites imo.

We need Rio and Vidic back together asap.

^ I've just had a look on red cafe, and you've been very selective with the ones you picked out.

Apart from a few, most of them see this as a win. They are banging on about how they have the 'home advantage' in the second leg.

Not really, Alot of posts are saying that Chelsea will go through, I'd say more posts about Chelsea to go through than United.

I've actually just had a look in RedCafe and most of them are not optimistic at all, they see us as favourites.

I feel very confident about this. Our recent record against Manchester United - home and away - is nothing short of brilliant, and I believe that man-for-man, our starting eleven is stronger than theirs.

Plus we've only lost two of our thirteen games against English opposition in the Champions League.

[diskoviolente 425]

I can´t watch the first leg. I was hoping it would be on the Tuesday. Tried to convince myself it is just a game of football. Didn´t work.

Optimistic we can go through.

They will be lucky if they get 11 players togehter.

Bebe maybe making his CL debut for them

Yeh on digi spy and places forums they seem confident. 'with the right ref' we can win this yada yada yada

I knew the draw, dunno why u all waited to watch it lol i coulda told you. Uefa hates the English teams. They gave Barca a relative gimme, they have get rid of the yids, one of Man Utd or Chelsea has to go and Inter will stay because they give people a hard time so it clears the English lot from having 3 in the semi's. Quite amazed i got it right tho lol, ridiculous really. To be honest though, i think Schalke could knock Inter out.

That being said, we have an unbelievable chance of winning this this season. Man Utd aren't really a great side and have big injuries. Inter are no where near the team they were under Jose and a final against Barca or Real in a one off game, anything can happen. A real opportunity to create history. Definitely not a gimme or an easy game but i'd have us as favourites. We are historically excellent at old trafford. I'm actually more happy the 2nd leg is away, we're so nervous in 2nd leg home games (Liverpool, Inter, Fenerbahce, Barca).

BRING THIS ON!

[diskoviolente 425]

I didn´t really thought of the option of getting United.

Had my money on Schalke and Barca.

Got a good feeling for this.

The second leg of the semi-final against Inter/Schalke is only three days before the league game at Old Trafford Man United vs Chelsea. Who will go into this game more tired? I hope so much that we will travel to this league game physically really tired but mentally so so happy. And then we will beat United once again...

[Ollie 4,400]

Man Utd are really pushing for the league, i hope Arsenal actually get some form so man utd can't take it easy. We should get 4th even if we lose 2 or 3 more, we should concentrate PURELY on this champions league now. Also we've had lots of rest time lately, even the copenhagen match was hardly a energy sapping game. We had blackpool killed off after an hour in our last league game. We also have a fully fit squad now

NO EXCUSES
