One off game in London that we have to win to get through to the CL Final, any club would take that.
You all spout on a load of sanctimonious shit about attacking football and how boring we are, who gives a fuck, you don't like it, don't watch it. I'm sure you'd soon change your tune if you team played like us and actually won some thing.

I'm sure if Rafa was back in charge & Chelsea played like they did last night Chelsea fans would slag him off for being negative,but because it's the so called special one it's ok. it's a good result for Chelsea though 0 0 away from home but injuries to Cech & Terry are bad news,I like Cech seems a good guy & a great goalkeeper.
We don't play like that very often, it's disingenuous to pretend we do. Atletico Madrid away is arguably the toughest away fixture in Europe.
The games against Arsenal and Spurs are better examples of the direction Mourinho wants to go.
That WAS dynamic football. Fast, pressing and ruthless in attack.
At the moment he doesn't have the attacking weapons to play ruthless counter-attacking football. Hazard injured, Oscar out of form and Willian isn't a goalscorer.
I'm not sure it's a good result. Atletico can go through with a score draw or a win, Chelsea can only go through by winning the match. I would say they a slight favourites.

Let's have it straight. Rafa would get slagged because he's rafa. Performance was irrelevant And I'd suggest you could get yourself the dvd of your away leg in juve 2005. You'll never need to count sheep again. And I'd hazard a guess you're not bothered one little bit

I really don't know what Chelsea's fans have got against Rafa.Maybe he called you a small club like he called Everton! Lol Jose must have been watching the juve away game in 2005 I remember it very boring.
Boring boring Chelsea. I'll take that if it gets us to Lisbon. For what its worth I slept through most of the game but I think that was more to do with the copious amount of cerveza. It was a pretty awesome stadium. I thought we would get beat so happy with the draw.

you booked anything for Lisbon yet, mate? heard the prices are rising fast. Our flight prices have already doubled and that was before the semi final first leg...

I had a quick look the other day and they seem pricey. Last time we all met up in the algarve, had a night out there then got the train up. But they are even looking expensive. Might have a look at Seville. That all depends on us going through of course.

the flights to faro weren't the cheapest either mate - not from here. We paid 115 (or the euro equiv) direct to Lisbon from Dublin but that's about 3 weeks ago. Decent times too - into Lisbon for 10am, back sunday afternoon. Worst case, it'll be a couple of days in the sun on the beer if we don't make it.

Mate Didn't get a chance to give a comprehensive reply to your points about Jose earlier in the thread (I'll do it some time in work when I'm bored. .. :-)) but have a read at this in relation to his Inter time. Needless to say you won't read this in the rags that pass for papers these days. ...
