Chelsea to make a comeback tonight?

4/8/2014 1:18:26 PM

Looks like Dortmund is...

4/8/2014 3:31:32 PM

... raus

4/8/2014 4:50:07 PM

They only have themselves to blame. Hit the post and missed another great chance!

4/8/2014 5:11:59 PM

they have been doing that all season. Still lookin good in the Bundesliga though.

4/8/2014 5:27:46 PM

i really hope they get kagawa back

4/8/2014 8:20:25 PM

I dislike PSG even more than I dislike Chelsea...freaking upstarts

Sayonara, bitches

4/8/2014 9:31:53 PM

Quelqu'un n'aime pas PSG? Blasphème. Ici c'est Paris mon ami! Le meilleur club de football.

4/8/2014 10:17:29 PM

Believe!

4/9/2014 1:22:29 PM

I'm getting sick of Bayern Munich, in the same way that I got sick of Barcelona a few years ago

also, I'd kinda like to see England vs. Spain from the semifinals onward...a nice symmetric national conflict

so, knock yourselves out, boys.

4/9/2014 2:25:42 PM

A Chelsea/Madrid Final is on the horizon.

The global media is going to have a field day with Jose vs Real.

4/9/2014 2:28:40 PM

Wow, love this tension! That UCL anthem, the atmosphere, the greatest tournament in the world!

4/9/2014 2:42:56 PM

welp

4/9/2014 4:10:21 PM

Gonna miss it...

4/9/2014 4:39:03 PM

Damn I need a hug. To go up twice in the tie and concede within 10 mins...

4/9/2014 6:51:02 PM

The joy from that goal lasted as long as I did in bed last night.


Fuck.

4/9/2014 9:14:02 PM

yeah I was still running around my house celebrating when bayern scored.

4/10/2014 7:17:29 AM

bayern vs real

chelsea vs atletico

sucks for atletico that courtois can't play

4/11/2014 6:49:59 AM

We're about to see how good Mourinho really is

4/11/2014 7:22:35 AM

^^ he is playing, I thought

4/11/2014 7:42:19 AM

Read yesterday there was a clause in his contract that prevents him from playing.


doesn't matter, Atletico will run roughshod over Chelsea

4/11/2014 8:01:34 AM

it's like 3 million euros a game for him to play. The president said that they can't afford it.

I'm sure Roman pressures him into some back room deal that lets Diego Costa go to Chelsea for for 2 million just so Courtois can play.

""Both the Champions League and the disciplinary regulations contain clear provisions which strictly forbid any club to exert, or attempt to exert, any influence whatsoever over the players that another club may (or may not) field in a match.""

is what UEFA is telling Chelsea. In the same article, it says that they may not want to damage relations with Chelsea because they want him on loan next season too.

4/11/2014 8:22:27 AM

I believe Chelsea said he can play. Also don't think any regulations prevent him from playing either.

god damn i love him

meg the fucking keeper

GET IN

4/16/2014 7:19:42 PM

God damn, he was three yards ahead after running an extra ten plus getting fouled.

WTF is the keeper doing

4/16/2014 7:58:02 PM

Pinto is one of the worst keepers I've ever seen

4/17/2014 8:33:38 AM

sweet ponytail tho

4/17/2014 8:35:38 AM

bump.

going to work through lunch and try to leave early and catch this one.

4/22/2014 12:28:19 PM

What a great match up. I wish I could watch it but it will certainly be a good one. I hope Athletico can go through, it would be a fantastic story and I kind of want to see a Madrid derby in the final.

4/22/2014 1:25:50 PM

great first 50 minutes so far

4/22/2014 3:58:50 PM

Atletico should have done more so far I think.

4/22/2014 4:15:13 PM

My man of the match, yet again, was that giant Chelsea bus.

4/22/2014 4:43:35 PM

Part hyperbole/part trolling/but partly serious - Watching Chelsea under Mourinho is almost as bad as watching United under Moyes.

4/22/2014 4:49:38 PM

Mourinho has had his fair share of sides that have been attacking. His style gets results, can't argue with that. I actually admire the backs to the wall defending in Europe. I think thats the best way to win a home and away match over two legs. Sir Alex had basically the same tactics, however his teams were much better at countering. Chelsea lack an effective counter attack, they are a lot more direct and don't exploit the flanks as much.

Fuck that. the best way to win a home and away match is to have a better team and score a shitload of goals.

Barcelona used to do this regularly, it was awesome.

4/23/2014 12:00:14 AM

And who stopped that Barcelona side? Mourinho. Mateo did the exact same thing with Chelsea, albeit a lot more defensive and with a mountain of luck by his side.

Its a way of football. I agree attacking is better but there is something admirable about a disciplined performance. I honestly hated watching that Barcelona team, and still hate watching the current Bayern team. Hyenckes' Bayern from last year were so much better to watch. If they were a better team is debatable but certainly better to watch than Guardiola's tiki taka.

Fair point. But like you said about Ferguson's United, you can be "disciplined" without straight up parking a bus and not doing anything.

Why? It was/is such delightful football. If you hate the actual team, I suppose I understand, but from a neutral perspective you kinda had to admire/appreciate Barcelona in their glory days.

4/23/2014 11:48:27 AM

I admire them. I think the system is perfect tactically and requires a lot of discipline to pull off, but I actually hate watching it. Too much possession and not direct enough. I am more of a fan of total football. Possession based but a lot more direct than the Guardiola tiki taka.

4/23/2014 7:35:26 PM

Bayern fans singing at an empty Bernabeu. That is so cool.

damn I want to go to a game there.

4/25/2014 8:08:45 AM

Tito Vilanova died today.

4/25/2014 1:02:04 PM

Terrible news.

4/25/2014 1:14:04 PM

4/25/2014 1:16:05 PM

Bayern need 3 now..

It is REALLY HARD to repeat...

[Edited on April 29, 2014 at 3:06 PM. Reason : Jesus studs up. Could have been red IMO..]

4/29/2014 3:04:49 PM

This going to shit quickly.

4/29/2014 3:07:17 PM

That'll do it.

Red cards galore coming...

4/29/2014 3:08:32 PM

hahaha awesome
