thanks

[Microdot]

is it on ITV or sky tonight?

[Will]

ITV... Hopefully Barca will win 4-0, like against Bayern... Chelsea will be dangerous at set pieces though, they're like a rich mans Bolton.

[djfase]

Can see barca trouncing chelsea tonight.

Id love to see either man u or arsenal play barca in the final. Total football.

An all english final would be like last yrs. SHITE

[Spacehopper]

barcelona v arsenal is what im hoping for in the final

[C.O.Prodigy]

Well, great match last night even without goals. It was borderline dull at times but came back quickly with chances and great tackles and saves. Barcelona have it all to do in the second leg, I don't fancy their chances.

[Numeric]

it was an interesting encounter, i wouldn't say dull as barca played some nice football and created chances

chelsea coped well, but they'll have to attack more in the second leg and that will leave them more open to attack

Chelsea took less than 3000 fans to the Nou Camp last night (they returned over 2000 of 4800 allocated).
If you ask me, that's truly shocking and, should they make the final, they should be allocated less tickets than teams that go to European aways 4-5,000 strong like Utd and Arsenal.
Chelsea took more away fans to Middlesborough than to Barca ffs.

[basslinejunkie]

disappointing from barca really after all the hype. english teams are no where near as easy to break through defensivley than other teams.they did still have good chances to score though i guess.

still expect them to go through as chavski have to come forward and attack now which will create more space for barca to attack.

I thought i heard the commentator say that Chelsea were only allocated about 2780 tickets or something like that.
Suppose he could have got it wrong tho..

Very true guys.
But that's like saying that maluda, kalue, drogba, anelka, lampard and ballack and belleti can't score. I think that chelski being more offensive isn't all that good for Victor Valdez and barca. Pepe Guradiola proved he's lack of experience when he took off Eto for Bojan Krkic and he has never visited Stanford Bridge before. Chelsea should be stronger at home and they have more players fit, since barca had some unfortunate injuries, and they don't have yellow card troubles like barca.
Belleti and Gudjonsen could be the key if pepe and guus play them.
Barca are stronger on the attack then on defense and yet they failed to score.
The rematch should prove much more enjoyable and a goal scoring affair to boot.

fair point, however, in a shooting match, i'm favouring barca over chelsea

but who knows, it's very difficult to call

Yeah, he either got it wrong or you misheard because 2780 is the number of Chelsea fans at the game. They were actually allocated 5000 tickets.
