Is it true that Samsung will dump us if we fail to win the champions league though?

I think that's the gist of it. but we have just signed a 3 year deal with audi, so some sponsors aren't that bothered

Blatter posted a VERY detailed list of weird/strange mirrorig results that point to a Chelsea win.

I just want to enjoy it and I know I wont be able to unless we're 3 up with moments to go.

Less than fondly recall the disappointment of Moscow.
Please God let us win.
Getting very nervy now.

Just wondering is there a bar in Dublin that people are descending on tomorrow evening. wouldn't mind actually watching the match with a few Chelsea fans.

I'm usually the only one

Cheers, just read it, excellent post. Can't wait for the game, fingernails gone already.

I'm hoping he plays Torres on the right, support Boss against Ribery.

Well with Ribery and Robben we need both wide men to realise theyll have defensive duties. The good thing about Alaba being suspended is they wont be as potent on the left and pur right winger might get some joy as Ribery and Robben wont be to defensive minded.

The more I think about this game the worse it gets

I'm now convinced that with the two R's fit for Bayern it might be a case of we need too score more goals than them (I know thats the object of the game before anyone gets smart with me :P), we don't go into the game and play defensive I mean, we need to get out and get at them, problem with that is we will concede thus my comment.

Also Community Shield to be held at Villa park at the start of next season because the Olympic final is set for the same date and they are using Wembley, another cup final to look forward too :pac:

For me this is a game where Torres can shine.
If we are still in with a shout with 20 minutes to go I reckon we will abandon caution and go for it. Someone with Torres ability could bang in a few . He also has one eye on the euros and this is his chance to convince Del Bosque that he is back on form and can do it on the big stage again.

I believe its Bayern as winner of SF1

As timing would have it, chelsea fan Jimmy White is performing a pool exhibition in my local pubs venue room this weekend and has requested he have a big screen to watch the game. Would be great to celebrate the final with the legend that is Jimmy White!

Bayern requested the home dressing room and got it even though there are two neutral dressing rooms

Llama and Luiz.....what a team :pac:

I never back my own team.
Although, those are good odds.
PP are giving loosing first scorer and score forecast money back if we lift the cup.
Needless to say I have Robbin to score first ......
I hope I will be getting my money back

Come on the Blues!!

Rumours of Bertrand playing left wing tomorrow. I for one wouldn't complain.

G.K.

Bertrand? With Kalou on the right? That could work.

It wouldn't be to much of a risk either considering he'd have Cole behind him.

I would have Malouda there due to his experience but i wouldn't risk 3 players who maybe aren't fully fit, I think he's forced into the gamble of playing Luiz and Cahill but i think he could get away with Bertrand over Malouda.

G.K.

I wouldn't play Malouda even if he was fit tbh, as far as I can see he's not contributed a whole lot this season. Plus Bertrand would give a lot of hunger to the team.

Gonzovision

Could be a good way of nullifying Bayerns right hand side without losing too much offensively. Both Cole and Bertrand are more than capable of beating players and delivering decent crosses.

Sgt Pepper 64

He's taking Nathaniel Chalobah and Todd Kane as backup as well

G.K.

I can see the benefits of playing Bertrand and also the benefits of playing Torres at RW, while I can't see Kalou not starting.

Perhaps Bertrand and Torres could start with Kalou and sturridge coming later to stretch the game with their pace?

He hasn't but either has Bertrand. He's to inexperienced and hasn't played enough.

Malouda would at least offer a bit of a goal threat and im sure he'd put in a shift in CL final.

G.K.

Experience is overrated, imo. even the great players have to start off being inexperienced.

And the difference is Bertrand has impressed when he played. I can remember Maloua doing like 1 thing all season and he's played a fair bit - scoring that goal in the 6-0.

No, no no! Malouda is just plain bad man! failed to put in a single shift, hence he aint been playing

Rather Kalou for me

G.K.

Just gotta hope RDM don't get the same idea for the other side with Paulo and Bosingwa. :pac:

Kalou has to start but I'd still have Malouda on the left although I know he's been poor for much of the season. I thought he put in a decent shift against Arsenal a few weeks ago and just think he'd make the effort since it's a CL final.

Depends on his fitness though. Bertrand on the left would be a bigger risk IMO, he was totally out of his depth at Anfield.

I keep moving from over confidence to worrying about comments like "We'll work it out somehow" that Robbie keeps making

Can a patched up and lop sided team with so many players either not match fit or played out of position and missing their leader, REALLY win it away from home? :eek:

Can a team with 10 men,without their captain for 60 minutes against supposedly the best team in world football including Messi,playing in the massive Nou camp with Bosingwa at CB :P get through to the Champions League Final?...

There's your answer,there's no doubt we can do it just every player must give 110 %.Whatever happens tomorrow we shouldn't be disappointed because this Champions league run has being spectacular and I'm enjoying every last bit of it cause it mightn't be there for us next year.

So please just believe in them and get behind them tomorrow for one final push.We can do this!!! 19 hours to go

I'm not nervous, are you nervous? I'm not nervous, who's nervous I'm not nervous!
Jesus but I'm looking forward to today, Come on the Blues!

hots

I've got an exam at 2 and concentrating on nothing but the final tonight, seriously excited, should be great!

GavRedKing

No Malouda for the love of all thats holy and good.

Kalou left Torres right Mata in the central position.

Really anxious now about it.

Meglamonia

Everything happens for a reason-We lost the '08 final to drive us on tonight to win this one.

Come onnnnn you blues!!
