I'm off to Manchester on Friday. Hopefully we'll get the win against Everton Sunday and all but clinch the title.

Should be a great game tonight, Real vs Bayern. El Classico on Saturday and likely another meeting in the CL final. Good week of football.

Wigan - ManU 1:0
Arsenal - Wigan 1:2

Amazing.

But I like Wigan. I hope they survive.

Me too, they have battled well - QPR, Blackburn & Wolves to go (possibly lol)

That is great news.

Barca are going to destroy Chelsea, especially if Cahill is at CB

 

[beardyian]

Roberto Di Matteo says ahead of facing Barcelona he is looking for '2 perfect legs' - i couldn't help but think of Cameron Diaz lol

Omg I just discovered this awesome thread! I've been an Arsenal fan ever since the late nineties. Although I've always had a soft spot for Wigan I didn't enjoy watching the Gooners go down last Monday. I also enjoy watching the Budesliga and loved Bayern Munich's performance against RM. What do you think RM's chances are at the 2nd leg?

As far as tonight's concerned, I don't know if Chelsea have the "legs" to fight it out with Barca just this once, let alone twice.

Welcome to the thread :wavey:

I fear Real Madrid will use the old home tactics of divng, hitting and running (not a Madrid fan here )

Barca have stuttered at times but quality (i hope) will win through

 

[BlueNowhere]

Real Madrid will go through in the 2nd leg. Mourinho will make sure of that.

Why does everyone think that Barca will win easilly. Ive seen Barca quite a bit this season and they havent been as good as they have been in the last few seasons. Also Chelsea have always given Barca a game despite always being written off. Remember chelsea vs barca in 2009? the better team got knocked out then. Barca are the better team but I think Chelsea are a team capable of stifling Barca if they set themselves out right.

Dont get me wrong I fancy Barca to win over two legs but I would be very suprised if it was comfortable for them.

Chelsea - FC Barcelona this gonna be a good soccer game.

 

[BlueNowhere]

Chelsea - FC Barcelona this gonna be a good football game.

FYP

 

[commanderpants]

I expect a strong start from Chelsea, then Barca gradually take over possession and... the win. I'd be surprised with a draw even. Whatever the outcome, Gooners better not lose to a worn out Chelsea come Saturday!

 

[BlueNowhere]

gogogo Chelsea. The big man gives them the lead. I so hope Barca go out, almost hate them as much as United.

 

[beardyian]

if Drogba spends anymore time on the wriggling ground he'll become a worm

Seriously, lol! But what an awesome game. Good for the Blues.

 

[beardyian]

Drogbas new kit

 

[rotty]

Drogbas new kit

lol, that is funny.
I enjoyed watching the slow motion replays and seeing who was looking for the ref before they started their rolling on the ground. Drogba sure wasnt the only one.

 

[commanderpants]

Lol! And I thought Busquets was bad. Drogba sure schooled him. Think Chelsea have the legs for a Gooner onslaught? Isn't the second leg at Camp Nou in a few days?

Apparentley a 'battered' Drogba has been left out of the side to face Arsenal - battered?? - just say old and needs a rest

Tuesday 24th is the 2nd leg

 

[onemorechance]

Newcastle 4th, our best performance since we beat Man United. Need QPR to do us a favour against Spurs now

QPR 1:0 Tottenham Flopspurs :rofl:

Madrid 1-0 up in El Clasico. Had by far the best chances and been pretty good so far. Xavi missed (well Casillas saved) a 1 on 1 from a nice through ball by messi. Madrid looking dangerous when they get an attack going.

 

[commanderpants]

They win the classico, the La Liga, and the CL. Then Mourinho bails having done his work. It's perfect!
