Well that was a load of crap. Looks like we'll just have to concentrate on getting the double this season :roll:

Well, seen as you don't rate the FA cup and seen as the league cup is inferior, what 'double'? More like 1 cup and a quarter.

Pants. Absolute pants. Worse than Arsenal's performance against Monaco.

To the tune of that Bay City Rollers song 'Bye bye Chelsea, Chelsea goodbye...'

I know there's probably no way back for Arsenal but one can dream.

Odds on Bayern Munich
2-1 Barca
3-1 RM

Methinks.

'Double' the number of trophies you're likely to win this season

Pity they don't dish out trophies for coming third or fourth, as then the Arsenal trophy cabinet would be stuffed full

The bottom line Stevo is that the blue's are shyte on a continental level this season. Doesn't speak that much of the over rated Premiership when the top team at the moment were knocked out in the last 16.

We had one bad game in the CL - the last one. Looking forward Arsenal setting the world in fire in the away leg at Monaco

Is it just me, or does anyone think it's a bit unfair that away goals still count in extra time? Surely this gives an unfair advantage to the team drawn away in the second leg by giving them an extra 30 minutes to score an away goal (or more than the other team in the first leg). Or am I missing something?

pesky_jones

True. What else can happen though?

Watched the game last night. Chelsea reminded me of the 4rse. Trying to walk the ball into the net. Jose has turned all the flair players into defensive drones (Willian, Oscar, and even Costa looks a shadow of his early season). Reap what you sow. The Cherries would have put on a more convincing performance to win that game.

But the reason away goals count for more is that it is meant to be harder to win away so you could argue it is unfair to play extra time at all because the home team has longer to win at home.

Both right, though I'd never use CB's point as an excuse for last night's performance. At least I didn't what one lad in my office did and pay £300 to go and see it...

Although on a lighter note, did anyone see the pics of Boris Becker? Some wag had given him a Chelsea Headhunters' scarf. Very naughty

I like the way the PSG fan had removed his shirt but kept his gloves on!

Clarkson was there too, maybe looking for some work on Chelsea TV?

Clarkson and Mourinho. Now that's a match made in heaven. :roll:

Nah, Clarkson wouldn't like the fact they lost to the French!

Now there's a good suggestion for 'Star in a reasonably priced car' when TG is reincarnated. Now I know Jezza is a Chelski fan he has just gone up in my estimations. Let's hope he gets another chance to rile millions of lefties, PC knobbers and tree huggers

Edited for crap spelling...

Surely Clarkson isn't right-wing enough to be a proper Chelsea fan?

Good point. Except he did live in the IoM most probably for tax reasons, which I am sure means that Stevo has a picture of him up on the wall.

No speed limit was probably the icing on the cake.

I can see why he riles you Pinno, as you fit at least 2 out of 3 of my categories above

He spent a long time fighting with the ramblers club in the IoM when he drove off road and ruined/blocked the paths.

Yeah, tree hugger me Stevo.

tim_wand

Isn't he best mates with Vtech? (Clarkson) not Pina!

By the way Pina , Stop taking this thread off Topic, that really isn't you at all

pinno

Right you are.
Barcelona are really playing well at the moment.








A lot better than Chelsea.

Better?

tim_wand

Love this. Although in defence I will say I ve never met a racist Chelsea fan!

It was a good effort from the Gunners. I was a bag of nerves.

Ho hum. Never mind.

Barca to grind Pullagreeny and his men into the ground tomorrow.

Stevo_666

Another one bites the dust on away goals.

England's footballing honour now rests in the hands of a team that couldn't stick one past Burnley last weekend and now has to beat Barcelona and score at least twice at the Nou Camp...

tim_wand

Proud of the boys, Still same old story!

" He's fast he's quick his names a porno flick Emanuel " Good to see a Chelsea great on ITV ( Sorry I mean hear Andy Townsend!

City to exit tomorrow night and then the Bun Fight for places for next years can really begin.

Feel more sympathy for Arsenal following their performance than I did for Chelski following theirs.

Don't need sympathy - won it once already and we know we'll get another go next year. Unlike some teams I could mention
