I think he knows we haven't got a prayer. The League is what matter's this season. I'm not quite sure why everyone's so confident that we'll breeze past Roma.??..perhaps they should get hold of a few videos of our recent Champions League performances (there's 4 years worth) to see that we'd make hard work of getting past Watford if they were in the Champions League. I've said some Doomlord things in my time, but nothing to top this. As far as I'm concerned we're looking down the barrel of a horror show that has 2 outcomes: A Chelsea 'Quadruple' A Chelsea 'Domestic Treble' + a 'vermin Champions league' I can feel it in my bones that next season we're going to have to listen to "We won it 6 Times" ad nauseum. A truly terrifying though. We won't get past Roma + Milan/Bayern. We're too lightweight & lack the mental strength to succeed at that level. I think we should stop talking about 'Trebles' immediately. It's dangerous talk. We want that League Title back...get within 2 of the scousers. That's what this sesaon should be all about for me. |

I agree the League should be the main priority. But surely MJ, you must admit that the draw means we potentially have a great chance of the European Cup too. Milan, Bayern and Roma are decent sides, nothing more. We have the players to get us too the final. But like you, I do think we'll bottle it (again!). Best chance we've had since 2002. |

of course it's all about the league Ramone and if that's all we won everyone would be delighted but the way the draw is in the EC we probably won't have a better chance to get to the final ....although the lack of depth in our squad could bite us on the arse
there is no way the Dippers will win it, I know we all said this two years ago but if they get past PSV then the Rent Boys or Valencia would beat them if we beat Roma and it's a big if we will get to the final, but it's all about the league title anything else is just a bonus although it's maybe worth pointing out that in 1999 we beat an Italian tgeam in the quartes and the semis |

The Champions League has been damaged goods since that night in Istanbul. All the prestige & shine taken away. It is no longer a sign of 'Greatness' it is a £#%&!ing lottery. They've watered it down by allowing 3rd & 4th place (5th place!) teams into it..it's a £#%&!ing free-for-all...it's now an 'Under Dog has his day' competition in the same way the FA Cup is...it is simply not an indication of the 'Best Team in Europe' anymore. Not only did the vermin's luck fail to run out in 2005, it's still happening now. For the record, I don't think Roma, Bayern or Milan are Great sides...but we have been so bad in Europe for the past half a decade that I simply wouldn't fancy us over 2 legs against anyone. A full on, shit or bust assault at a domestic Double would make me a happy Red this season. |

It's Chelsea's or the dippers....it's written all over the draw & the way the competition has gone so far. Don't get me wrong, if we start playing attacking football in Europe again...& actually start trying to win games rather than not lose them I'll get my passion for the competition back...but until then I can just see a pathetic, goal-shy surrender against Roma. Like you say though, let's get that League Title wrapped up...& a trip down to Wembley would be nice too! |

Why are Valencia being overrated?
Third in the Spanish league in a season when if a team could show any consistent form they would be long way clear. Yes, they beat Inter, who are strolling Serie A, but who actually though that Inter were all that. Italian football has been mediocre for 5 years. Valenica, good, competent side, but I fully expect Chelsea to beat them. |
