Barcelona to win 2-1 but Chelski to go through on the away goal rule

[riise94]

Come on Chels,let's put these overhyped cheating toerags in their place tonight : ) We can do it. Whether we will or not is another matter! Win or lose,we've scared the shit out of the "best club football team in the world" (yet again) and we are England's last hope and the pride of Britain! Whether your Tottenham,Newcastle,Scousers,Gooners or Manc's,it's your duty to cheer us on to glory tonight. You know I'd do it if it was you lot



My only prediction is I will get pissed tonight. I'm going up the pub because I need a drink or 6. Enjoy the evening lads and may the best team get through (and I never mentioned a referee once)



Cya!

[ulizinho]

3-0 Barcelona, please!

[Wavy Crockett]

I put us at about 25-35% chance to go through

squeaky bum season has returned...

[marknow]

Should be a great game. I'm going for Chelsea, think it will be 2-1 on the night.

May the best team win, if Chelsea park the bus I hope they get slaughtered, at this level those kind of tactics are embarrassing.

[muckman1]

finish them barca.please no childish acting like last two games.play like men..
7-1 barcelona!!!!!

[Tony07]

Looking forward to this game, I just hope Drogsbolls don't keep diving everywhere and spoil the game.

[tottenham28]

I think Chelsea will score but Barca will go through, 3-1 home win.
@riise, your great mate but I can't stand that shite you support...would I be right in saying the feeling on each others clubs, may be slightly mutual?

[Steve L]

Id have one of those Ts if there was a W12 branch!

Come on Barca! ET plus Terry missing the crucial penalty and Drogba injuring himself diving would do me!

Barca: Victor Valdes, Pique, Mascherano, Puyol, Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, Cesc, Alexis, Cuenca and Messi.
The bench is: Pinto, Alves, Thiago, Keita, Pedro, Adriano and Tello. The discards are Afellay, Bartra and Montoya.

Chelsea: Cech; Ivanovic, Terry, Cahill, Cole; Mikel, Meireles, Lampard; Mata, Ramires, Drogba.
The bench is: Turnbull, Bosingwa, Essien, Malouda, Sturridge, Kalou y Torres.

Lets hope we see more goals then last week

[ulizinho]

Barca: Victor Valdes, Pique, Mascherano, Puyol, Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, Cesc, Alexis, Cuenca and Messi.

Finally Pep brings the best possible eleven!! Full firepower!
Vamos Barça!!

One to look forward to, football, controversy and maybe a few goals. I think Barcelona will triumph tonight, but not a hammering as many may predict. 3-1 on the night.

[matt_aut]

3-4-3 with Busquets as an additional defender in dangerous situations. I assume Chelsea score at least a goal from either a setpiece or a counter attack, so Barcelona need at least 3 to go through. Will be difficult with Chelsea defending deep but everything's still on.

Força Barça!

[ulizinho]

I only hope that there will show up a gap between the legs in Chelsea's box with 10 blue and 6 to 7 Barça players around

@Matt/uli: Do you maybe know why Afellay is not yet in the squad or even on the bench? He's one of the few Barca players that can give good assist and act as a real winger...

[scouseman]

Not feel the best today but I wanted to come on a cheer on the blues tonight. It will help take my mind of it. I agree with Tony Barca to win 2-1 but chelsea to go through on the away goals. I do think that they will have to score tonight and Barca will be hurting after the madrid loss. Just hope it is a good game that is fitting of a semi final. COYB. Enjoy the game lads.

I have no idea and got no hint from Spanish sports websites. Pep sometimes acts a little strange lately in this matter

I could imagine that after a severe injury like that he might not yet be in condition to participate in a crucial game like that. And there are still Tello and Cuenca, who Guardiola thinks a great deal of playing in the same position. Hopefully Afellay can make his comeback in one of the remaining league games!

I think that Chelski will try for the away gaol from a set peice and then park the bus.
