Was hoping that the 1st leg was at home for chavs cos I was looking forward to messit destroying the judas *word censored* in front of a full house in the camp nou
Whats the betting the chavs take it in turns to try and kick messi out of the game ? I really hope that they focus on messi cos imo they will be then destroyed by the striker that I advocated that we should have bought last summer (when some fools on here said that he was a spent force ).....Samuel Eto

That has been done in the European cup though, essentially the same competition:
1990 AC Milan 1-0 Benfica
1989 AC Milan 4-0 Steaua Bucharest
1982 Aston Villa 1-0 Bayern Munich
1981 Liverpool 1-0 Real Madrid
1980 Nottingham Forest 1-0 Hamburg
1979 Nottingham Forest 1-0 Malmö
1978 Liverpool 1-0 Club Brugge
1977 Liverpool 3-1 Borussia Mönchengladbach

1972 Ajax 2-0 Inter Milan
1971 Ajax 2-0 Panathinaikos
1970 Feyenoord 2-1
after extra time Celtic
I'm afraid that the CL bears almost no resemblance to the old European Cup at all, other than some of the games in the CL are played over 2 legs.
Statistics show that it was alot easier to retain the trophy before, whereas the CL now allows at least 3 top sides from each major footballing country to participate in the competition. This has made things tougher because from the QF's onwards the bigger footballing nations come to the fore, whereas before, you would have some lesser footballing countries represented right up till the semi's.

I have never doubted Eto"o he is a top quality striker who we could have bought if Wenger had sold Greedy for £24m.But i must hold my hands up and say this time last season i thought TH14 was finished at the highest level.God was i wrong
I want barca to win, think they will BUT I cant believe chelsea are being so underated. If they play a tough game and try and kick them off the pitch (which I can see them doing) then chelsea have a chance.
Im hoping for a Henry hatrick
Definitely want barca to win can you imagine chelsea getting to the final and winning .That would then make them the 1st london club to win the cl.No way pedro.Want us to be the 1st club in london because lets face it its only going to be us and the chavs from london who will ever have the chances to win it.Cant imagine the scum getting to a final.
