Oh absolutely Gem, when Frank scored and the camera panned to Frank Snr. I had a huge lump in my throat. A real tribute to Mrs Lampard. God bless our boys, have they done us proud!

OK now I'm starting to believe, this really could be our year.

Ah Andy Gray is the Scot's c*** I was asking about earlier.

If this goes to Penalties, I shall be sick literally. I cannot bear anymore, I've had to put my dinner on and just watch from the kitchen. Burnt the frigging rice now, not concentrating.

Yes he did Loz, straight for the Liverpool bench. I'm not sure whether Gerrard knocked Grant over, but he certainly collided with him. Can someone tell me, on the stream, who is the Scots c*** commentator? I want to f***ing kill him! I'm so happy. I don't even care if we just shut up shop now for 45 minutes of boredom. But I would be so happy if we carried on the way we are. I think they've barely been in the game the first half. (Liverpool that is) Please let us keep the lead and let us go to Moscow so we can smash the Mancs again!

Thanks Mike, very reassuring!

But I have to say, there was something about his use of language that made me think that although his English was excellent, it wasn't his first language. I might be wrong.

Pudge when did you move out of London? I am going to be taking the dogs out in a few minutes, if it ever stops pouring with rain. Then I shall be ready to sit in front of my PC to watch the match with a large pot of tea (there are times when no alcohol really pisses me off!) and a large ashtray. My dogs will be hiding under the table as they can't bear to here me shouting. Gets them all anxious, but not as anxious as I already am. Whatever the result I'm proud of our boys for getting us this far. C'mon Chelsea ppppllllllleeeeaaaaasssssssseeeeeeeee!

Oh Gem thank you so much for those pictures of Mr Ballack and his nipples. I think I might just take them to bed with me.

Ivory coast I can honestly say the griping pain in my gut and bowel, did not make it a great time. On the other hand after a visit to the bathroom I feel much better now and can enjoy the moment.

I am so f***ing happy I cannot tell you. Michael Ballack I luv yer!

5 minutes stoppage time - oh please don't let one in.

Thank you God! and Ballack!

Oh please don't even joke about it. I'm sure it will come but by then I can have stopped reading.

Well, my dad was Chelsea, I was his only child, he really wanted a boy, so I got to go to football with him to every home game and some away games from age 4 (apparently) in cough cough 1961, can't remember my first match. Don't think I had any choice really, 'cos I was a typical daddy's girl. But if I'm honest the FA Cup final replay against Leeds in 1970 was when I really fell in love with the team, not just to please my dad, but for myself.

I'd keep the ones with big tits. Liam's looking for a thick ear. Just - you know I can't agree about the No Women thing. I make plenty of noise, but do admit that some women who go with their menfolk, don't seem to want to appear "unladylike". Perhaps it should be that all women have to go with their female friends, then that way there would be plenty of noise. You men can't have it all your own way - you create the double standards for female vs male behaviour. I'm sure if you put all the women on here together we would give you all a run for your money on the noise stakes. I think everyone should be allowed to stand - I can't bear sitting down at football and I think it makes a big difference. Agree about "Blue is the colour". It was a terrible dirge when it came out and it still is.

Nice one Chelle! You're a true lady! Glad you enjoyed the match.

Yes, Chippy - it's 'cos I'm a witch. (I did say witch and not bitch - well OK a bit of both)

I agree with ethical regarding the atmosphere. I watched on ITV4 and could hear our lot singing all night - I don't understand the comments about the fans. Although it was nerve racking throughout I've definitely seen us play worse (including under Jose). The thing is we did win and we should be happy. I'm not looking forward to playing Liverpool, but I 'm hoping my nerves will be more settled by then. They should be, after all this is the fourth time in five years that we're in the semi finals. It can't be all bad can it?

van Hooijdonk - I hope you do stick around. I thought your team showed great spirit and definitely gave us all some very very nervous times. I don't think I've felt so relieved for a long time, and that was partly because we played a very dangerous game but also because your team never gave up. I think to have got as far as they did and to have come as close as they did, I think they will definitely be much less of an an unknown quantity next year and definitely not an "easy" draw. Do stick around! BTW any idea how your Maths test went?

OK I voted, I'd prefer to wait until it was over, but I guess it takes the risk away.

Any answers? Please? Just an opinion?

Can I just clarify - please? Is this just tonight's match, or over the two legs? An early reply would be good as I have to take the dogs out soon, to be back in time to settle down for 90 minutes of bowel churning.

OK I voted 2 - 0, but then I waited till after the match - does that count?
