Lotusbluete Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Hallo Blues fans, congratulations to the 4 : 1 victory over Napoli of Italy. With this win Chelsea overturned the two-goal deficit from the first leg and secured a spot in the quarter finals of the Champions League. Good luck for the next round.

salty Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Wonderful entertainment. Ivanovic goal in extra time puts Chelsea through 5-4 on aggregate (4-1 on the night). They will hope to avoid the big 2 in Spain in last eight or indeed Bayern Munich but would surely run into one of them in the semis if they make it that far.

smokie36 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 who is the chelsea manager again? Yeah it was quite clear what was going on there. The manager was dithering and Terry took the right decision to reorganise the defence. Made his boss look a complete tit of course. Not that that matters at Chelski of course!

oldgit Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Terrific performance from the team although the headlines will focus on the 'old guard' bagging three of the goals.Looking beyond the scoreline and analysing their performances individually,Drogba,as usual and when he fancies it,terrified the Napoli central defence with his strength and aerial ability which he was entitled to do against two poor defenders.Lampard scored the penalty and did little else but put players in trouble with his get-out-of-jail passes.Terry defended doggedly but it's his leadership qualities and the respect he gets from the rest of the team that are his main assets. No,for me the true stars of the performance were Luiz,Ivanovic,Essien and, particularly Ramires who was absolutely outstanding.He was everywhere,popping up on the wing,to set up the winner,and bursting through the middle.He never stopped and it was lucky for Lampard that he was around to help him out of the mire.Mata withdrew before the final whistle and didn't have a very effective game.I may be wrong but I think he's been carrying an injury for the last month.He hasn't got the acceleration that he showed earlier in the year and is loath to get involved with any one-on-one tackles.I was perturbed to see Torres's reaction at the end of the match.The rest of the team,substitutes,coach and backroom staff were giving it the 'high five' treatment but he sloped off on his own.Although he played well,he doesn't give you the impression that he fits in.I reckon Meireles and him were pro Villas Boas.

oldgit Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Terry didn't pull a hamstring,Keith,so you didn't get your wish! Mind you,Cahill was put in his place when Terry went off only to be replaced by Bosingwa with the outstanding Ivanovic going to centre back.Don't get me wrong,he's not bad but,because he's an England international (as if that matters),he shouldn't think that his place in the side is a shoe in.

SantiSuk Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Italy having had a brief resurgence, must have felt a bit nose-out-of-joint after Arsenal and Chelsea put 7 goals past their defences. 7 countries represented in the quarters this year (2 from Spain as per normal) - must be a long time since that happened. Cyprus being one of the countries! Its gotta be one of RMA, Barca or Bayern to lift the trophy. I hope for Chelsea to avoid those three for the next two rounds - they could make the final in that event. Nicosia, Marseilles, AC Milan and Benfica are eminently beatable on normal form.

The hand of God strikes again! Well thats because its rigged. Sepp and his cadre of crooks want an El Classico final. They are also stopping goaline technology for example because its much easier to fix a game without replays. Since this is the Chavs thread i will cite possibly the most blatent match rigging in recent years ...second leg semi final Chelsea v Barca. Chelsea totally out played barca and should have had about three penalties. Norwegian ref picked who was unfit to ref an U10 game. Nice one Sepp....there was no way he was allowing another all English final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carmine Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I very much doubt they would get revenge nev. This Chelsea set up is nowhere near as good. That semi final 2nd leg left me wondering why i bother to watch football it was so poorly orchestrated. Total insult to all football fans. I remember speaking to a Spanish mate that supports Barca and he was horrified by it and said winning the competition after that meant nothing to him.
