Chelsea Vs Liverpool

[yates jr]

:confused: What do you think the score will be ??? :confused:

[Neil]

0-0!

[Adder]

I think it will be a draw tonight, we have both Ballack and Essien out which is a big blow to us but I'm sure Drogba will knock one in for us.

[SHANDY LOVE MACHINE]

2-0 Chelsea in front of 60,001

Are you playing tomorrow night Adder?

[Tonkertoy]

I think it will be 1-0 to chelsea with the goal scored in 22 minutes 42 seconds

[Woody]

1-1

[RegCubit]

0 - 0, unless it is the same cheating scouse git of a linesman again.

[spandau_wirral]

0-0

[yates jr]

Goal

[IJD]

I think that Chelsea will nick it tonite but Liverpool will go through to the final by winning next week's 2nd leg

[yates jr]

Full Time
Chelsea 1-0 Liverpool
(Joe Cole 29)

Chelsea were all over Liverpool

[IJD]

Liverpool to win the 2nd leg 2-0

[Woody]

Just hope Chelsea don't score early up at Anfield, otherwise Liverpool will need 3. It's going to be a tight affair i think!

[Pablo]

Wait a minute, why aren't we talking about the big European tie this week...

Manchester United v AC Milan was a great game, a proper European night!. Under the floodlights, goals, last minute drama, a mostly Italian side playing a mostly British side. What a game!

On this game, I think Liverpool are in trouble now, they really needed an away goal to have much chance, I think a 1-1 or 0-0 will now follow at Anfield and see Chels through. Do you ever sit back and think, why is Jermaine Pennant playing in a European Cup Semi? lol

I thought that about Djimi Traore 2 seasons ago!:D

[Pablo]

I thought that about Djimi Traore 2 seasons ago!:D

And Vladmir Smicer, :)

[Woody]

You can't knock Smicer. Liverpool Legend. Scored in the final and the shoot out!

[Simon]

Pablo, you really can't knock Vladimir Smicer when one Jonathan Greening has a Champions League Winners Medal :D

[Pablo]

Pablo, you really can't knock Vladimir Smicer when one Jonathan Greening has a Champions League Winners Medal :D

Yeah but he wasn't in the starting line-up, he was only in the squad? That's like saying Igor Biscan or Nunez in the Squad, they would have never come on...

[Woody]

Smicer didn't start. He came on when Kewell went off injured!

[Woody]

Igor Biscan


Ahh another Legend!:rolleyes:

[IJD]

For those who fancy a little bet on Liverpool to win 2-0, Paddy Power are offering this at 10/1

[Woody]

You can also get 6/1 on it being a Milan v Liverpool final with Skybet!;)

[Simon]

I'm absolutely bricking myself about Tomorrow night. After 'the goal that never was' two years ago I probably speak for all Chelsea fans when I say we need to beat you! For revenge. I believe that only 5 players have survived from that night at Anfield (Cech, Terry, Makelele, Lamps and Drogba) so they will want to win not only for a place in the Champions League Final but for revenge purposes too.

If we don't win, I feel we won't win anything more this season.

Its a true 'do or die' situation tomorrow. Come on Chelsea!

[Adder]

I fancy a bet of 2-1 to Liverpool with Chelsea going through on the away goal.
Whats the best odds out there?

I would be pretty relaxed as a Chelsea fan going into the game If you sneak a goal liverpool would need to score 3 which would not happen.

Just like it didn't happen when Liverpool came back from3-0 down to beat AC Milan...

[SHANDY LOVE MACHINE]

Once in a lifetime. They'll never do that again in a match that really matters.

Chelsea Milan final

[Woody]

Once in a lifetime. They'll never do that again in a match that really matters.




8th Dec 2004, Anfield. Olympiakos lead 1-0 at half time. Livepool need 3 goals to qualify from the group stage! Guess what happened next?

You guessed it, Final Score
Liverpool 3-1:D

[SHANDY LOVE MACHINE]

Not only is that not the same ball park, its not even the same continent in terms of comparison. Qualifying v final, Olympiakos v Milan. You've got more spin than Ashley Giles. Well actually so have most people. You know what I mean, you're talking a load of Josef Goebbels

I would love to see a United v Liverpool final. I used to 'support' United as a kid until I started watching City then I 'followed' them closely until I actually started watching them regularly when I didn't really care and missed City. But old habits die hard so I'd like to see United do the Treble, stick their fingers up at Chelsea moneybags and give Liverpool the mother of all spankings. For it is the red of Merseyside whom I doth hate.

LI :tosser: VE :tosser: RP:tosser: OOL:tosser:

I can't believe you have compared me to Ashley Giles, I was thinking more along the lines of Alistair Campbell!;)

[Pablo]

Chelsea Milan final

Yeah absolutely, it was more Milan playing the most rattled 6 minutes in their long history.

Here is a question, if Steven Gerrard didn't play for Liverpool, say went to Chelsea when he handed in a transfer request, where would they be now? Another Newcastle I think, they are distinctly average without him!

[Neil]

ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmm

do you like my Stevie G impression??

[SHANDY LOVE MACHINE]

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

[yates jr]

Goal
Liverpool 1-0 Chelsea
Agger (22 min)
1-1 Agg :thumbsup:

[Woody]

Liverpool through on peno's then. Justice done after Kuyt's goal being disallowed!:thumbsup:

[Simon]

:cry:

Liverpool didnt deserve it tonight at all, we played the better Football all night. I may be bitter but I speak the truth. Gerrard was poor in my opinion and Mascherano did the business. I'm gutted for players like Lamps and JT, 3 semi final losses in 4 years? It's getting to hard to take now. :(

6 Times? Come on United!

[tigermatty]

I think both teams were pretty rubbish, don't think either side 'deserved' to win but Liverpool created more chances without doubt, and the goal was class, pure training ground stuff.

Once again when the going gets tough Chelsea have no one to turn to...:p

[Simon]

Being a long term Chelsea fan, I remember many nights like this in the past where it could've been. Real Zaragoza in 1996, Lazio in 1999, Barcelona in 2000, Viking Stavenger in 2001, Hapoel Tel Aviv in 2002, St Gallen in 2003, Monaco in 2004, Liverpool in 2005, Barcelona again in 2006 and now tonight. Every single one of those nights we had chances but we blew it. Tonight was a night like that. We have our nights when we do the job, I remember Vicenza when we won the Cup Winners Cup, 1-0 down from the first leg, then Vicenza scored an away goal at the Bridge. That night we scored three with Mark Hughes getting the final goal.
We have produced some of the best Football the Champions League has seen, the 5-0 demolition of Galatasaray in their own backyard and the 4-0 hammering of Lazio at the Olympic Stadium. We deserve the European Cup and to see him slip from our hands once again is too hard to take.

Unlucky boys, maybe next year :(

[Pablo]

6 games and a period of extra time, between these two in the Champion's 'Joke' League, and only 3 goals. what is it about this competition that sucks the life out of these usually frenzied Premiership affairs!

[RegCubit]

Yet again we lose to Liverpool in a semi thanks to the officials, at least Andy Townsend managed to spot the foul that should have been given that should have wiped out the goal.

But sadly we were crap, no imagination, continous long balls to Drogba, then we bring on Robben who suffers from a serious medical condition, Gronkjaer syndrome, it causes brilliance one season shear boredom the next. Then we introduce the attacking flair of Geremi:tosser: , obviously as a penalty expert, sadly it was the worst one of the night. I've never liked him.

Lampard, well I think he has been average all season, and it really is time to look for a replacement, and as for Mikel someone explain why we had a fight with United over him, he is nothing to write home.

At the end of the day, it was not the greatest of games, and I'm afraid Liverpool deserved to win it. Whats the odds on a new manager to replace Mourhino

[SHANDY LOVE MACHINE]

For once I actually watched a live Premiership game, and enjoyed the fact that whoever lost I would have derived some satisfaction. Liverpool :tosser: for being :tosser: and Chelsea because of their money-bagged arrogance :tosser: and Mourinho :tosser: I thoroughly enjoyed his dejection.

As for the match - a nervous affair, Pennant stood out for me, Gerrard was crap, thought Liverpool just shaded it although no team stood out head and shoulders.

[SHANDY LOVE MACHINE]

Yet again we lose to Liverpool in a semi thanks to the officials

This sums it up Reg - and as the neutered one I have an unbiased view

[Clifty]

Indeed Shandy that report sums it up perfectly! When will Jose get his head out of his ass and realise that he isn't invincible, and that his team aren't always the best team on the park! Chelsea were boring, and lacked any inventiveness, and although they dominated the first leg, they looked fairly ordinary last night! I have to say that you wouldn't have known Lampard was playing, and it was a shame to see Drogba roling around on the ground when he clearly just had a ball hit him in the face!

It makes you wonder how long Jose will have a job, as his comments are becoming degrading and offensive to opposition teams and players, and if i was a Chelsea fan i would be quite embaressed by some of his comments. Myself, as a Liverpool fan, just feel embaressed for him because he clearly doesn't realise what a :tosser: he is making himself look!

Lets not forget that last night was there for the taking for Chelsea, as if they had scored just one goal then Liverpool would have had to score 3. People can make comments about the fouling for the goal, but lets be honest, how often does a defender push a player like that and get away with it? all the time!, and where some might say that Liverpool were lucky with that goal, i feel that they were unlucky to have the second disallowed, as it was in my opinion, marginally onside.

Will it be an all English final? i don't personally think so. Milan will score, and i feel that Man Utd will be up against it tonight!

[Adder]

Once again it's another opportunity gone for us this season to reach the final :mad:
I can't wait for the transfer window to open in the summer!

[Clifty]

Liverpool didnt deserve it tonight at all, we played the better Football all night. I may be bitter but I speak the truth.

You been attending the same acting class's as Jose? Chelsea were drab, and boring, and never looked like scoring!

Rafa summed it up when he sat on the floor with his legs crossed during the penalties. There was never any doubt that liverpool had the confidence that Chelsea lacked to win!

[Pablo]

Why is Abramovich going to waste another 100 million?

[Dommotyger]

Why is Abramovich going to waste another 100 million?

Ouch! lol

[Neil]

It seems that a major investor in Chelsea perished in a helicopter crash last night after the game. Who says that lightning doesn't strike twice?

[Dommotyger]

Ouch again!

[ItmustbeCity]

Not a great game to watch to be honest, Chelsea constantly pumping long balls to Drogba and Liverpool happy to stick numbers back until they got a chance. Certainly would have been interesting if Drogba had stuck away his chance in the first half as Liverpool would have had to start doing some serious attacking.

As for tonight I can see Man United getting a 1-1 draw and going through to the final as well

[Simon]

Very sad news indeed. I send my condolenses (sp?) to his family and it caps off what has been a sickening week for the club.

This won't hold as much significance as the Matthew Harding Tragedy though because Harding was the person who transformed us from the mid table side we once were to a Europe chasing side. His Money helped us build the now called Matthew Harding Stand and truly transformed the Bridge to become one of the best club grounds in England. His money brought in Zola (:notworthy:), Gullit (:notworthy:) and Vialli (:notworthy:).

Still, very sad news for the Club.

[Adder]

Come on AC - You can beat Liverpool this time!

[ZackBCFC]

Man U were a joke tonight

http://208.116.9.205/10/graphics/movies/movies_ashley_batty.wmv

someone has too much time on there hands.....

[Pablo]

So the European Cup Final is between a team that hasn't won their domestic league in nearly 2 decades and a team who shouldn't even being the competition if they hadn't been let off for match fixing,

United didn't turn up tonight!

[IJD]

So the European Cup Final is between a team that hasn't won their domestic league in nearly 2 decades

And why do Man U fans always forget that when Munich gave them the Cup in 99, they were in the "Champions" League as runners up in the Premiership

[ZackBCFC]

The Champions League is a joke (just like the UEFA Cup)

Yes we wernt champions etc, so kick us out. Along with all other non champions because it is the CHAMPIONS league after all

but they wont, because $ky and that lot wont pay so much money to see champions of crap countrys.

[IJD]

BTW - for those of you who don't know me i am not a liverpool fan in case some of my comments on this thread make you think i am

Roy Keane's Red & White Army

[tigermatty]

If it was just for the champions it would be over in a fortnight, let's not be silly now. This competition exisits to produce entertaining football and I think it does so more than any other competition in the world. The fact that Liverpool and Milan didn't win their domestic leagues is neither here nor there, they have overcome enough decent opposition to deserve their places.

[Woody]

You can also get 6/1 on it being a Milan v Liverpool final with Skybet!;)

Should have listened to me boy's and girls! I've also got £5 at 25/1 on Liverpool to win the cup. They were 25/1 when drawn against Barcelona!:thumbsup:

[Matt]

im really sick of Mourinho and Ferguson moaning all the time. All the other teams aren't doing enough to help Chelsea and Utd win all of the trophies apparently. What do they expect?

Chelsea and Man U have spent millions on players. They have big squads and neither of them have a divine right to win 4 trophies each year.

Mourinho and Ferguson are a pair of old moaners and I for one am very very happy to see them both knocked out of Europe.

Only question now is how much of a head start are Liverpool gonna give Milan this time?

[Woody]

I see that Liverpool Keeper Jose Reina was burgled during the game on Tuesday night. Apparently Frank Lampard is the main suspect as police cannot account for his whereabouts between 7:45 and 10:30 that night!

[Dommotyger]

I'm quite happy that Liverpool are through even though I follow Man U as they played like a sunday league team! Come on the POOL!!!! Dont want them Italians winning now lol:tosser:

[Dommotyger]

Have to disagree re Ferguson - he took defeat very graciously admitting the best side won. He must have been especially disappointed as its been a few years now since United had the level of success they are threatening this season. He would have been very confident of beating Liverpool on the basis of their results this season.

The old Fergie has been replaced by a more mellow one in recent years but I still think he's going to die on the job (during a football match, not shagging Gary Neville)

[Neil]

An email I just got from Kempy -

UEFA have announced there is going to be a 3rd / 4th place play-off Final in this years Champions League (for the losing semi finalists).

It will take place at the new Wembley.

They are going to call it the "FA Cup final"

[SHANDY LOVE MACHINE]

'Leagues in other countries would help their clubs no end so they can prepare properly for European nights, so there is a problem there," said Ferguson.

Ferguson called into question the integrity of the Premier League's policy as United's weary squad try to pick themselves up after their Champions League exit at the hands of a ruthless AC Milan side.

Asked for his view on the prospects of a second Liverpool v AC Milan final in three years, Ferguson added: "Both teams will be fresh for the final, they will be able to rest players and prepare fully."

May be a more 'mellow' moan, but still a moan nevertheless.

[ZackBCFC]

Yea but thats a fact.

Our league is a joke even Jose was saying it the other day and Arsene said something like it last year.

The saturday/sunday before a CL/UEFA Cup game should be free i think

Oh look Arsene just been fined £2,500

[Neil]

Bollocks! These teams have huge squads rammed full of quality footballers all on professional contracts. Most teams could probably field three full teams every week. There lies the answer....
