Those are all of the players on a card where if they get one tomorrow they're out for the final?? Wow.

That team certainly gives me a lot of confidence.

Still just elated and in shock... Over two hours later. Everyone put it on the line tonight and they earned it. I don't f**king care if the world hates us or thinks we're anti-football. f**k them all. We went up against the team most consider the best on the planet and we won over two legs. We scored TWO goals after going down to 10 men. We beat them on aggregate 3-2. We WON. We didn't cheat. We didn't play anti-football. We defended, we attacked via counters, we had some of our old guard guide us through, we had some of the new guard give it their all, and lastly we gelled as a team and won. We've had a long season. We're still in the running for two trophies. We can do this, we are CFC! Someone give RDM a hug for me.

If you have to pick one mate, imho it has to be Cech. That fingertip save puts him over the top. MOTM though should be all of the Blues. 10 men? We win? Unbelievable effort from everyone. Un-f**king-believable!!

Me. I've been screaming and I'm just elated. Feel like I just ran 10km or so. f**k me...

WE ARE f**kING THROUGH!!!!!!! Well done to all of the lads tonight. Unreal last 45 minutes. The TEAM was a beast tonight. JT, wish you wouldn't have done that. We need you for the final. Regardless, we are THROUGH! I'm elated. Choke on that media. Choke... On... That! KTBFFH!!!!!!

Don't think it's coming out for the xbox any time soon. If you decide that you're going to get it, give me a shout. We'll blast some demons.

Really starting to brick now. I'm excited, nervous, anxious, worried, and scared. Fortunately for me, I have plenty of beer in the fridge. Took the afternoon off (flexible hours at work ftw) so it's go time.

Dkw, PM me your battle.net battletag and I'll add you. We can team up and get in some killing. Don't know about you, but I'm rolling a demon hunter to start.

I've played it. It's really not a bad series. I've enjoyed it. However... Diablo 3 releases on 5/15. I was in the open beta to stress test the servers this past weekend. Oh how I've missed a good dungeon crawl.

This is what I think as well. Messi will get at least one of their goals, and we'll sneak one in. Barca win, but we win the tie.

What a f**king prick. No one said anything about RM's victory and they only had 28% possession. Jose used some of the same tactics we did and not a word about them. Bah, some of these comments are just a joke.

I thought he was injured. Didn't he have a knee injury that kept him out for a few months?

Well done! Baring a meltdown, they should have something to celebrate after another 90 minutes played.

Bertrand for me. He did an excellent job out there today.

I'm excited. I like that RDM is resting some of the players for Barca, and I think there's enough quality on the pitch to get us a victory. RDM has a plan folks, he's led us this far. I think we'll be ok. 10-2-1. COYB!

That's the thing to remember. We don't need to win the match at the Nou Camp. If we score just one goal, Barca will have to beat us 3-1 to advance. With an away goal, it's infinitely harder for them. Lose by 1 and score, we advance. It's going to be tough, but we can do it especially with the leadership we have on the pitch.

Great performance by the whole team tonight. Really proud of the lads. This is the Chelsea that we're used to. Lots of candidates for MOTM. I voted for Ash. I thought he, along with the best of the back four, were brilliant. Props to Cech, Drogs, and Ramires as well. Heck, props to everyone that wore the kit tonight! KTBFFH!

I think you're right. Ash was immense tonight. The whole back line was immense along with some brilliant saves by Cech. Wow. I'm still buzzing.

Just realised that the shot that hit off the post in stoppage deflected slightly off of Cahill. No idea what would have happened if that deflection didn't happen. Doesn't matter though... Here's what does: 1-0. Bring on the Nou Camp. RDM and the lads will be ready.

f**k yes!!! Well done to all the lads. Well done to RDM. In RDM we trust, surely!! He's guided us this far. Finish the job Blues, it's there for the taking.

Welcome!

You made some good points ES. Good post. I'm not quite sold that RM will turn it around even in the home leg. They certainly have the ability to. Once RM subbed Özil, they lost a lot of creativity in the midfield. I think Özil has to play the full 90 (plus) for RM to get through. I thought Bayern playing Kroos was a brilliant move. Kroos played like the Bayern version of Özil. Kroos has that same type of creativity even though he doesn't necessarily play as their CAM. I also expect to see Schweinsteiger play for more than 60 minutes. I don't believe he was at 100% from his injury. I cannot be certain though. RM had no answer for Lahm. Lahm was able to cross pretty much at will. If he continues to do that, Gomez will find the ball and bury it in the back of the net. If Ramos looks half as bad in the return leg as he did last night, he's going to get shredded. I expect to see Bayern goals. RM have the firepower, and I agree that Jose will go after it. I just wonder if it's going to be a draw propelling Bayern through. It will be a tight one, and should be a great match to watch.

Thanks for that video Scooby Blue. Any Blues fan would get fired up watching those highlights. Awesome.
