No matter what disagreements we all have on here, we are all chelsea, and we we are all hoping for a special night tonight. 

No predictions from me. No issues with the team, we went through against this lot with 10 men and bosingwa at centre back. 

Come on chelsea let's put a bad couple of months behind us. 

Giroud to bully the Barcelona CBs

Can we be clinical? At least no one can complain about Conte being defensive tonight. 

We’ve got a striker on the pitch! If we could have two Willians to go with the seven Kante brothers that would be amazing!

I have the most ill-timed flu ever so I can't really go out. Unfortunately this means that I have to rely on my pitiful internet connection... and I heard my nerd housemate just let his friends into the house. For f**k's sake.

They are going to be playing Dungeons and Dragons... online

I tried to watch the 2012 Barca away match on a dodgy stream, got as far as Gazza going off injured before it failed.  Tried to get it back without success, found JT had been sent off, thought ah f**k it, I won't bother, Rami scored, I dashed to the pub to get there for the second half.  The rest of course is history.  

I feel for you trying to watch on a stream,  They always seem worse for midweek matches.

A true 9.

Thank you.

Let's go.

Fairly relaxed about this game. I realistically expect to get beat so all I’m looking for is a good solid performance and for the team to play with a bit of pride in the shirt. If they give that I’ll be happy and anything more will be a bonus.

3 goals in the first 15 minutes for us again against Barcelona would be nice.

Not nervous one bit....because I'm convinced we're not getting the result we need.

Nor am I. Every Barca game before and two of them in Spain I've been bricking it but tonight I'm relaxed. Not sure why. Maybe because I've accepted that we will more than likely lose. Let's hope not.

He finds it hard to talk never mind pronounce someone's name.

Can somebody explain to me the big issue that is being made of Barcelona pitch size.

I read the dimensions and their pitch is 6ft longer than SB and 3ft wider. Can anybody clarify if this is genuinely correct?

Correct an extra 2m long and metre wider than the Bridge. Around 200 as metres.

It's just a common misconception. You're right about the dimensions.

I'd say it's the camera angle at the Nou Camp that just makes it look huge.
