I generally find Spanish football incredibly tedious. I can't even tune into El Clasico, despite there being a high chance of controversy and goals galore. The four matches between Barca and Atletico this season have been 1-1, 0-0, 0-0 and 1-1. Riveting.

Last el classic was great. It does depend, I think when Jose was their the dramatics was turned up and at times it was a farce. Atletico are a defensive side, and quite a good one. That's how you play away at the nou camp.

I think Pep's idea of playing without a striker + obsessive passing combined with a very defensive Moyes team meant last night's match was a borefest.

I don't think Bayern cope very well with pressure, remember when we beat them 2-0, they were bricking it, they were complacent against City and lost, so who knows. At least I know utd are too rubbish to win the thing, if they somehow make it through, Chelsea on the other hand....

need a bad result tonight.. Hopefully Blanc isn't silly enough to go all guns blazing against Chelsea, who want good teams to come on to them, so hopefully they are a bit cautious...

producing a wonderfully exciting game.

Pressure? Hardly in the grand scheme of things. One game in group stages and one in last 16, both times just needed to avoid a dicking. Which although they were lazy in both, they certainly weren't nervy against us. It was a professional (if somewhat fortuitous) 2-0 win last year but they weren't bricking it, in fact we barely touched the ball after going 2-0 up.

I know they have a reputation for bottling it and blew it against Chelsea in 2012 but I think they have definitely earned the right to have that tag reconsidered by now. Look at Barcelona: well beaten by United in 2008 and were 8 points off winning La Liga despite their quality, you could have levelled the same accusation at them then. In the space of a season they stepped it up a huge gear and shed that tag as they won the league with a 17-point swing, won the cup and won the CLand went on to dominate Europe for 3 years.

PSG 3-1. Devastating late goal, huge task for Chelsea now. You beauty.

That was the sweetest part of Pastore's goal.

He is a frustrating player and like Moura can take a touch too many in showing of his tricks, but when it works, boy does it work.

But Fat Frank and chavvy Terry being made to look like always brings a smile to my face

[Supagoon]

Hopefully that's Chelsea out.

Blanc

Pastore

Maureen will talk about the lack of strikers but all 3 goals were poorly defended.

Cech has flapped for crosses tonight...how often does he do that.

Someone needs to tell Cahill that if his timing was better he wouldn't need to attempt last ditch tackles every time and going horizontal to get to a ball doesn't make you look like a class defender unless you are being judged by tw*t headed English journos.

David Luiz is still being controlled by a kid playing playstation, I couldn't even work out what his designated position in the team was tonight.

Terry got done so easily for their 3rd goal it was embarrassing.


If PSG don't completely f**k it up next week, that could be the end of the Chavs season...maybe Fat Rafa is right Maureen is a bit of a specialist in European failure

Do you reckon Maureen left early to text Mrs Maureen that they were sh*t

[Supagoon]

one thing I like about rafa is that he don't like Jose, and I know Jose rues his European time at Chelsea no thanks to rafa.

PSG tweeted this earlier today https://twitter.com/PSG_inside/status/4 ... 72/photo/1

Is it time for Courtois to get the nod next year ahead of Cech? I would have been inclined to say Mourinho will stay extremely loyal to the old guard but he's ruthlessly left Cole out in the cold this year.

Get in 3-1 PSG

Couldn't happen to a nicer shower of scumbags get it right up the fuckers

[Leyton Gooner]

Enjoyed watching them get bumholed tonight don't get me wrong but is it just me that thinks they'll still go through?

[falkirk goon]

They just need a 2-0 so its definitely still possible, it was choice watching them getting a bumholing tonight though

[topgoon]

Sadly they probably will.

Wonder if the PSG fans will show the sam class as this lot http://www.theguardian.com/football/201 ... ons-league

[northbank123]

Obviously could still go through but imo PSG have got more about them than that Napoli team in 2012. And even then Chelsea should have been out of sight at half-time. Still cannot believe the fortune they enjoyed that CL run.

Chelsea - Specialists in failure
