wouldn't that be something if chelsea wins the champions league and then finishes out of the top 4 in england?

was just looking over the final schedules of spurs, magpies, blues...first things fucking last...magpies are done and dusted...they could conceivably lose all 4 matches...@wigan@chelsea home v. city @everton....whoa boy...spurs i believe have the easiest path back to CL football...home to rovers @bolton @villa home v. fulham...chelsea get qpr at the bridge..newcastle at the bridge..then liverpool in the fa cup final@wembley followed@liverpool then home to rovers...think spurs take 4th position followed by the blues followed by newcastle...tell me who even thought chelsea could take both the FA cup and CL....those my friends would be some staggering odds...hey, i can't stand the blues but let's be honest...roberto been doing some cheeky thing that are working in the blues locker room..like it or not...cheers

Winning Champion's League is a loooooooong way off, with Bayern Munich or Real Madrid standing in their way, in Germany, without John Terry and others.

Anyone can win in one game at this level. Personally, I think that Terry is a liability and they're better off without him.

--------------Cech
Bosingwa-Cahill-Luiz-Cole
----------Mikel-Essien
Mata-----Lampard-------Kalou
-----------Drogba--------------

Bench:
Hilario
Torres
Sturridge
Malouda
Kalou

of course, if Cahill isn't fit then they're in a bit of a pickle. Mikel or Essien would have to play alongside Luiz, who is a major defensive liability.

Just saw the replay. What a comeback by Chelsea!!

When they fell behind 2-0 and were a man down, I thought it was over. Beautiful pass by Lampard on the first goal.

Has Di Matteo done enough to keep his job? Or does he need to do more?



Before the semis started, I checked the future odds at 5Dimes.

Chelsea were +260 3rd choice to win the FA Cup, and they were higher than 12-1 to win UEFA CL.

Barcelona were heavily favored to win at -130. I'm sure the bookies are happy tonight as all the Barcelona future bets are down the drain.

Oh yea, I'm sure there were some wealthy Spaniards with $20K + futures wagers on Barcelona who are quite angry with Messi for missing that PK against the woodwork that would have put the game at 3-1.

hey i just read that they changed the rules to not allow a nation to have 5 teams represented....wow

had no idea they changed this after Liverpool but if chelsea win CL only top 3 from EPL are allowed to enter next year's tourney. serious bs right there for spurs and newcastle (and maybe arsenal)

buh-bye magpies...spurs will be making room for you in 5th place in a few hours most likely.... would say it was a pathetic performance yesterday v. wigan...but as previously noted, could have totally saw that outcome coming....
