Went home at half time to discover I have to retune everything

 

[Shagrat]

Are you watching a delayed stream Shag?

Oh yeah lol i ressed pause on my tv at the start without realising so I was 10 mins behnd everyone else in the first half. lol what a noob

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Don't forget even if you do win like we did last season, you still have to go there and not have your best player randomly sent off for an offence no-one has ever seen a booking for in living memory when you're 25 minutes from going through

 

[CorNokZ]

And Bendtner being useless. Don't forget that!

 

[Bahumat]

Nice to see Barcelona being frustrated from Drogba's diving lol

 

[megadave]

Kalou hardly fills you with confidence for the last 20 minute slog

 

[CorNokZ]

If Chelsea manage to get away with a 1-0 victory, how do you reckon they'll play the next match?

 

[Bahumat]

Great tackle by Terry just then. Also lol at them hitting the post!

 

[Deebs]

Because the last two times we played Barca, we were in ridiculously good form, and off the back of brilliant seasons, yet they still destroyed us. This year there is only one perm team that I think could challenge barca in a game and that is Man Shitty.

You've got through this far in the CL through a lot of grit and luck, Barca are a better team now than the last two times they have won the champs league, you are miles out of your depth. So yes, massacre. Your best player is also getting played yet again today, and will be knackered come Wednesday (Mata).

Deebs; it's not rocket science, Barca are a posession football team, you need to either outpass them, or press them high and hard. You don't have the players to do either, AVB proved you can't play a high line quite emphatically.

I'd like you to win and fuck Barca up, but it won't happen.

Chet,

You predicated a massacre. Fail. Thank you.

 

[Talivar]

I did try tell chet

 

[Billargh]

Crikey, I really thought Barca were going to score at the end there.

 

[eksdee]

Fuck yeah.

 

[ileks]

What an ending! Get in Chelsea! Still a lot to do but beating them at home is an achievement in itself.

 

[Litmus]

woop £60 win

 

[megadave]

Queue the moaning about anti-football blahblah blah

 

[Everz]

I don't whether to credit Chelsea or say how poor Barcelona were.

For them, they were so static, back and forth. Messi was poor, Fabregas and Sanchez were an absolute shambles. The rest were a bit 'meh' I dont know whether this Chelsea keeping them at bay or not however.

 

[Everz]

That said, playing a system to accomodate Fabregas is a mess in itself, was never needed at the time and it shows. I firmly stand by that he was an absolutely pointless signing.

yep, I agree. already 2 of the best centre mids in the world who know the system in side out, cesc is nothing but a 30m bench warmer until xavi retires

Iniesta out wide was cringeworthy, miscontrolling and general doing nothing of note.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

15 goals and 17 assists for Fabregas for Barca this season.

Those are real shit bench warmer stats, eh?

 

[megadave]

To be fair any team will struggle against quality oppsition who are that well organised and dedicated to defending, our back 4 was awesome and the midfield tireless.

Didn't even use 3 subs? Guess it'll mean no Drogba V Arsenal which is a shame

 

[Wazzerphuk]

The good thing is you'll have one eye on next week and be a bit tired. Some rotation will probably happen and we've been playing better against the bigger teams more recently.

 

[megadave]

Barcelona have Real Madrid at the weekend dont they?

 

[Vladamir]

Is Arteta out for you guys? Could be a big loss if he's missing.

 

[CorNokZ]

Saturday at home, yes

 

[Wazzerphuk]

 

[megadave]

this makes me sad, someone in the prem needs to buy eboue

cunts

 

[cHodAX]

Animals.

 

[Calaen]

I like eboue he makes me smile, But why do they think it will be any different for themselves over there? Samba was complaining the other week after having bananas thrown at him, why did he think he would get different treatment to Etoo or Carlos?

 

[Raven]

Disgusting.

Ban them from Europe until they remove that element from their stands.
