[Insomnia]

To be honest i'll take a draw away to Villareal this evening
1-1 would suit me fine, then sort them out back home playing our more attacking style we're known for at th Emirates..


Think Man utd will win 2-0 or 3-0 this evening...

[Spacehopper]

i think both clubs will win tonight.....united more comfortably so i dont think i'll bother watching

[Insomnia]

I'll take that result the night no probs, thought Wenger should have taken Almunia off before he did along with Gallas, could have cost us dearly..

Villarreal looked real good this evening but feel they knew they had to be that way at home..

I apolgise for Adebayors lack of effort for the season after that subline goal tonight!

[phantomdj]

Looks like Arsenal are going through.... hopefully.

Also, looks like Man united are going out.... ahahaha.

Almost fluked it again, incredible though!

[fatcollective]

I must admit i underestimated Porto, they went forward and had no fear, United looked tired with lots of sloppy passing and had no edge, it gona be a tough game at Porto for sure, but if United play the way they can i think they can get a result!

looking forward to the game tonight with Chelsea and Liverpool, i rekon it'll be a draw!

[basslinejunkie]

ever since we slaughterd them the mancs have been absolutely shocking at the back. its 3v3 or 3v4 everytime.long may it continue!!

[phantomdj]

liverpool were crap tonight for most of the second half and it cost us so much. the tie is pretty much over unless a magical performance is delivered.

it is very clear how much we miss masch!! without him the midfield just did not work. Gerrard is unable to play his natural game when the holding midfielder is not there.

lucas was shocking all game. dossena as a sub looked out of his depth. aurelio had a shocker. alonso was far too slow.

drogba missed one in the first half that he should have scored, but the two corners they scored from were ridiculous - bad defending all around.

when torres displaced lampard and lifted the ball in the first half *sigh* if it had gone in then it might have been a different story...

anyway, fair play to chelsea. they respected liverpool and never let us rest on the ball. they were professional and determined.

the only positive from this is that it does look like the mancs are going out as well to a far lesser team than chelsea!

[Spacehopper]

fair dos, chelsea defo deserved that 1....they played really well, best theyve played for a long time.....kept gerrard out of the game totally..

gonna need a miracle to score 3 at the bridge but anythin can happen in football...

just hope it doesnt dent their confidence in the run in for the title

[C.O.Prodigy]

Guus did it. It's great that he played Branislav Ivanovic and that the full back re-payed that respect with 2 goals. Guus is great well done Chelsea and Bane and Drogba. Liverpool was lucky against Ath. Madrid and now is paying for that luck.




Really is a firm modern defender, Chelsea fill benefit from him playing in the back 4.

[Insomnia]

Chelsea looked really good the night, thought they'd blown it with Drogbas missses early on but kept at it and showed some great footy...

[C.O.Prodigy]

Outjumping Gerrard in the penalty area, lovely.

[Numeric]

:lol:

good game last night, best chelsea performance i've seen all season, although i haven't seen much of them tbf

liverpool didn't stand a chance :lol:

united were fairly shit on tuesday night, worst performance i've seen from us all season, i'm sure we'll play better in the away leg though

[Numeric]

ever since we slaughterd them the mancs have been absolutely shocking at the back. its 3v3 or 3v4 everytime.long may it continue!!

imagine if we'd conceded three, then we'd really be in trouble :;

[basslinejunkie]

if porto had anywhere near the quality upfront chelsea have youd have conceded 10, nevermind 3.

2 poxy corners have ****ed us right up. gona have to pull off the biggest shock ever to go through now.very vry unlikely,but you never know.

[rhythmtech]

f'kin shocking. after all their hard work to get into a strong position going into the match.. and at anfield too :embarrassed:

[Numeric]

if porto had anywhere near the quality upfront chelsea have youd have conceded 10, nevermind 3.

2 poxy corners have ****ed us right up. gona have to pull off the biggest shock ever to go through now.very vry unlikely,but you never know.

chelsea could have scored more, drogba's two chances early on, and the one cleared off the line, they were just way better than you

united defended badly on tuesday but tbf porto played well, i still think we'll progress

[fatcollective]

im glad liverpool lost. after beating madrid, united and villa they thought they were unstoppable, even i did! thanks chelsea, you done a good job!

[C.O.Prodigy]

God I love him! :)


As for porto and manU, porto played better and were more dangerous with the ball. I think that at the Estádio do Dragão things will be twice as difficult for the red devils. My prediction - porto goes through.

[Will]

Yeah, porto were very impressive I thought, worked hard, they had a great system and were a bit unlucky to concede the first goal. Three very dangerous players up front, quite refreshing to see a fron three that were so willing to run at defenders. They're defo favourites now and could go all the way, though Barca and Chelsea look strong too.
