    What does he shout after the goal goes in?

    I just can't figure it out - it sounds like "penguin" but even for Phil Thompson, that wouldn't really make sense...

    i think he might of been saying something about Ian Payne who just asked him how come chelsea don't score at anfield in the cl.

    Classic Clip!!

    Good enough game - excellent result for the Blues. I though they were unlucky enough to go in 1 down at half-time and rode their luck during the second half but we'll take 1-1! (to be honest would have settled for 1-0 defeat at start of match)

    Will be a very interesting match on Wednesday.

    Seemed more than up to it last night.

    Already one of the best in the prem and he is only there 4 odd months. Alot of the utd fans here seem to have a bit of a chip in the shoulder about him though.
    Please tell me you didnt just compare Rafa Benitezs Liverpool to Steve Stauntons Ireland?!

    Im comparing the optimism and over expectation.

    Liverpool have not scored at SB in over 4 years. Yet they have to score a minimum of one goal to have a chance. Barring a peno I cant see it happening unless there are alot of injuries from their game v Man U.

    Even if it had finished 1-0 i say Liverpool would have needed to score.

    They created some chances on Tuesday night and I can't see why they can not repeat that next week, dont forget the Chelsea fans will want there team to attack or will start booing them like the last round when they were very lucky.

    Probably. I dont recall. What I do recall is that not one of those teams have a home record like Chelsea. They will not be beaten at home in open play. It is very unlikely Liverpool can force a draw and extra time. They have not done it at any time at SB previously, even the mighty resurgance they can show on CL nights will not be enough. Now, I want them to win, but barring the weekend match they play is a bloodbath with plenty of big name injuries and Cech finally killed, Id put my house on Chelsea progressing.

    Not litreally of course.

    Im out of the game, blew over 30 quid on a multitude of bets on the Man U v Roma match. :mad:

    I didnt bank on Fergie resting the big hitters for most of the match (and not playing Ronaldo at all). 3-0, 3-1 seemed a sure thing.

    Mike.

    And I can sell you the 2nd house Ill acquire when Chelsea win :D

    Really though, in terms of the hope here its a bit like the time Father Ted left the notepad out in the hope God would write back to him in the morning with advice.

    Theyre fooked.

    People seem to be forgetting that Grant is tactically inept which he showed again the other night, Lampard mightn't play. We will progress even if it takes penalties.

    "“I’m not a man of percentages but I think it’s still 50-50."

    :p :pac: Jesus christ the prem is a duller place without his incomprehensible waffle.



    Lads, really. The optimism here is unreal. They have not scored in FOUR YEARS at SB. Not won, even scored. There is nothing to currently suggest this is about to be broken. So Grant is no Jose. So what. He may be no Jose, but he has managed to keep the unbeaten home run since last Autumn. The home goal with none conceded could have taken them to penos which, had the pool kickers kept their head, they would win (Cech is good, but he is overrated. He is behind Reina and tied with Given). Torres is good, but he is currently overrated and not performing on the road. Gerrard has had some mediocre CL games lately. Babel could be a dark horse but I wouldnt bank on it. Kuyt has shon decent form but again, I wouldnt go nuts. The pool dont have a hope. And this is coming from someone who went to the bother of working out the maths to conclude that if the Czechs did appalingly bad in their last three games we might still qualify post Prague (on the basis that they were worse than the Germans, the Cypriots pulled three upsets in the qualifiers and the Slovaks might dig in for a grudge match). It is an away game against a defensively (I presume) record breaking home side, there is absoloutely nothing about the Pools set up or current form to indicate they can take the game. Believe me, there is nothing Id like more than Chelsea to open the scoring and to then see Torres fire an agg equaliser in the dying seconds, and for it to be taken to penos to meet Man U in Moscow.

    But it aint gonna happen. Id be more confident of Ireland pulling off a result against Brazil than this.

    We have good reason to be optomistic. Chelsea are crap.*


    *based on first leg showing
