Shane 2,275 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 ^ 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.

HRiver 1,512 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I've actually just had a look in RedCafe and most of them are not optimistic at all, they see us as favourites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diskoviolente 425 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 4,400 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 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 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I didn´t really thought of the option of getting United.Had my money on Schalke and Barca.Got a good feeling for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan 17,980 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 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 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 (edited) 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 nowNO EXCUSES Edited March 18, 2011 by OllieCFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Better not screw this up. Birthday on the 7th, that time, a few years ago, we beat Liverpool 3-1 (and established Branislav 2-goal Ivanovic ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray. 217 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Bring on the Mancs! If we play the same as we did against them recently then we should be OK. Not going to be easy, need a sympathetic and fair Ref with no allegiance to the Mancs.Only downside is the away leg will be another midweek game, so another all nighter if I go on the coach and the club don't do a train. I'm used to it, so will be prepared once again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kez 2,727 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Cannot wait bring it on! We'll be so up for this.Kinda wish that my hope in getting anything out of this competition this year wasn't back.Bring on the 6th! :chelsea2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZanSnake 1,211 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Facing Man Utd three more times in the next couple of months, interesting.Beath them all three times and i will ran down my street butt naked singing 'Ble us is the colour'!

Tomo 21,751 Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 All of my years of sorrow will be avenged if all that happened!! I see United as a really difficult tie however, and I feel we won't get past them without real fighting spirit. It's also really unfortunate the 1st leg is at Stamford Bridge, because the last three times the 1st leg was at home, we've gone out:2004: Chelsea 1-1 Arsenal --- Arsenal 1-2 Chelsea2005: Chelsea 0-0 Liverpool --- Liverpool 1-0 Chelsea2006: Chelsea 1-2 Barcelona --- Barcelona 1-1 Chelsea2007: Chelsea 1-0 Liverpool --- Liverpool 1-0 Chelsea (Liverpool won on pens)Inter are vulnerable this season without the reign of Mourinho! They conceded 3 against Spurs at home, they lost to Spurs at 3 point lane, they lost to Bayern Munich at home, but they only relied on a last-minute goal from Pandev to get them through! Schalke will be tough opposition for them I reckon.As for Barcelona, if Arsenal can beat them in England, then so can we! :eyebrows:You have forgot the Valencia game in 06/07 and the Jueventus game in 08/09 and the Bayern game in 04/05, so thats 4-3 on my reckoning Plus the only 2 times weve drew 1-1 during the 1st legs at home (against Le Arse and Valencia) we progressed with late killers in the away leg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmax 9,219 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 ffs people the second leg being away is an advantage to us.If things are level after 90 mins at the theater of shite, and the 180 minutes overall (score draw or goalless draw) things go to extra time where we get 30 mins to score an away goal. It's a massive advantage.Let's think things through before proclaiming them to be better off with the draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeCFC 45 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 'If' or should i say WHEN we win this Quarter final start planning for May 28th as Schalke or Inter will be a mere walk in the park.Inter are no way the team they were last season under Jose and Schalke will be running scared.Chelsea v Barca/Madrid final.I can feel it!

HRiver 1,512 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I'd much rather play Real Madrid than Barcelona in the final. I'm more scared of Barca's team play than Mourinho's mind games. Jose is not unbeatable, Benitez knocked him out of the CL twice, and so did Ferguson in 2009. I don't think that with Madrid he's as good as he was with Inter last season.The only team that I'm scared of is Barca, and frankly speaking if we play them in the final I will not be optimistic at all about the game.

NattyBlue 44 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I don't really like the CL but progressing to the next round would be good, my eyes aren't that wide to see us in the final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
