never deserve to be in semi finals.
utterly boring and so very predictable.

Rubbish.

Rubbish.

If they were so boring and predictable, other clubs should be able to beat them, no?

Horses for courses - Chelsea play to their strengths and were the better team over 2 legs.

Barcelona will put them out in the semis though.

Even with 10 men Benfica outplayed them for long spells.

In fairness Benfica are a decent side, as for Chelsea you don't reach the semis with luck alone.

A Barca v Bayern final would do me though.

Barcelona will hammer them. Messi vs Terry, Torres vs Pique.

They were not great after sending off..

But that final goal was one of the best of the season..wins the ball in own half...runs att the way to 20 yards out beating 2 players and rifles it into the top corner....:not worth

They have declined over the last few years and generally find them really boring.
Barca should skelp them in both games.

A great goal indeed against a ten man team which almost proved too good for Chelsea and were pushing for a winner themselves when the ball broke for Meireles!

Barcelona will destroy Chelsea though IMO! Too many quick feet and too much energy and skill! :agree:

:agree: Should be easy money betting Barca in those games. And Chelsea play Spurs in the semi of the FA cup 3 days beforehand. Get your money on the Barca.

It's a tough ask of an inexperienced manger to knock out Barca over 2 games. He'll have them up for it but it's probably come too soon for John Terry.

It's Barca by 4 for me.

Hope they get humped in the semi. Especially with that horrific excuse of a human Terry as captain.

Wouldn't think the odds what be that great, unfortunately.

I would think the happiest team tonight will be Spurs as they can benefit from any slip-ups Chelsea make due to fixture congestion, fatigue etc.

Deserved to get through, but will get absolutely ragged against Barca.

Barca play Real Madrid in a league (decider?) game 3 days before the 2nd leg. Still think Barca will will win at a canter.

Sorry can't agree. I reckon Chelsea are being looked after by the same karma which is looking after our goodselves. Worth a 30 bob double dyathink ? :wink:

I used to follow Chelsea in London in the 60s/70s when they had some great, entertaining teams. Osgood, Cooke, Chopper Harris.....

The type of football they have played in recent years has been deadly to watch.

Double them up with one of Man U or Celtic on the saturday and for the game at Stamford Bridge you will get better than evens. Easy money.

Bit harsh to say "recent years" - last season and a half maybe. Preceding that they went on a run of results that went:

5-0
7-1
2-1
1-0
1-2
7-0
2-0
8-0
6-0
6-0
2-0
3-1
4-0
3-4

They've been murder since then mind. LOL!

Chelsea have been boring for years. When this team was at its best they could blow other teams aside with ease, but they still werent particularly exciting to watch. Being a solid and powerful force is fine, it managed to deliver them success, but giving the finances that have been available, its not football Id particularly want to watch as a fan.

In terms of the game, I cant see anything other than a Barca win but a give your all, solid defensive performance can sometimes stop them (Chelsea should have done it, Inter managed it). I really like Di Matteo, would really like the idea of him managing to take a team to the CL final, but they are such a dislikeable club that I do hope they lose.

I think they do, you don't progress through all those cup games luckily.

They may be fortunate to win the odd game but over the piece they deserve it.

Not my favourite team by any means I may add!

why are Chelsea fans the only Londoners to sing in that stupid daft drone tone? perhaps another reason folk can't stand them?
I stand by what I say. they are predicable and have little class and let's hope, for the sake of football, Messi and co tear them up.
Viva Barca!

Messi and co will tear Terry, Lampard Cole etc a new yin. Cant wait.

Hardly a decider with Real six points ahead of Barcelona at the moment.

I have several friends who have been following the club for many many years, long before Abramovich came along.

They take it all with a pinch of salt, enjoy the success but remember all too well when they were crap. The young glory hunters, on the other hand, tend to be up their own tailpipes, and are a real pain at times.

I think theres probably a few posters on this thread dislike them because of their fans "political" beliefs instead of anything to do with on field activities.

True, they tend to have an affinity with our hunnish neighbours. I am enjoying taking the pash at the moment...
