Oh well, it doesn't really make up for the fact that Barca have wrongly had a player sent off. Looks like football will be the big loser tonight. Bloody Chelsea do my head in....

I can't be putting up with all the cockney rocket polishers if they get through.....

Drogba diving as usual....

I'll tell you one thing. If Chelsea win this match I will be wanting Man Utd to win for the first time in my life. I love football and Chelsea winning the CL would be a kick in the teeth for any football supporter. Not just because they don't play good football. It's because they have made it to this level through money. It's not money they have made either. It has come from a rich Russian that wants to use them as a toy. It was bad enough when they won the league......

It is extremely difficult to play against a team that aren't interested in anything apart from putting 11 men behind the ball. It will be extremely tough for Barca to get back into this now. Chelsea can afford to do what they did in the first leg now. Wonderful stuff when a boring team of money grabbing tossers gets to the final...... I hope Barca can pull something out of the bag.

It helps them a lot the fact that Barca are missing both Puyol and Marquez.

Come on Barca!!! I never want our days of singing "Have you won the European Cup?" to end against the Chelsea buy-a-team scum!

So maybe he could have got a life instead of taking it....

I don't think someone who has committed suicide should be called a gobshite, whatever the reason they did it. No you're right, they should be called a coward.....

Barcelona are not a much better team than Chelsea like was shown agaisnt Man Utd last year they had all the possession but couldnt do anything with it. Barcelona have a much stronger attack, Chelsea have a much stronger defense even when missing two first team defenders. And its not like Barcelona do not spend a huge amount of money on players its not just Chelsea. Barca spent getting on £40-£50m this season, and around £60m the season before that... Yes but Barcelone don't have a rich Russian that has suddenly popped out of nowhere and is throwing money at them. They have built their success much like Man Utd. Chelsea were going nowhere until Abramovich showed up. Barcelona had won things in the past whereas Chelsea had won very little. There is a big difference between the two financially. Barcelona have made the money they have spent on players, whereas Chelsea have got it from a rich Russian that wants to use them as a toy. Big difference.....

If Chelsea beat Barcalona next week then they deserve to be in the final. If they play 10 behind the ball and go through on penalties then I would agree with you but I don't think they will be doing that in front of their own fans. I don't think they will do that infront of their own fans either. Which means that if Barca aren't worn out after their game against Real Madrid then they should thump Chelsea. They are by far the superior team. I can't stand Chelsea at all and would hate for the prawn sandwich brigade to win the CL. In my opinion it would show all that has gone wrong with football in modern times. If they win it then they will effectively have paid for the CL. Call me old fashioned but it just seems like a shame and shows how football has gone downhill. For that reason I hope Barca roll them over at the Bridge and show them how to play football.

Well, that was a boring match. Barcelona are by far the better team and actually know how to play football. Chelsea just lobbed every player behind the ball and hacked their way to a draw. They got the tactics right on the night I suppose. Yet what are they going to do at home? Surely they will need to try to play some football. If they do then I can see Barca hammering them. Unless Chelsea go ultra defensive again. Such a shame when the best footballing team (and the better overall team) doesn't beat a team like Chelsea. Hopefully Barca will finish them off in the second leg. My only fear is that Barca will be missing defenders plus they have to play Real Madrid at the weekend. It will be footballs loss though if Chelsea get to the final. Considering all the money that has been spent on them they still aren't anywhere near being the best in Europe.....

Just get the PVP shoulder enchant while you are grinding rep for the other one. It's good enough to be honest. I also love the fact that we can now queue from anywhere for BG's. Although I am against the idea of being able to have two specs. I think it dumbs the game down once again. It allows hybrids to fill every role possible. Especially Palys and Druids who can tank, heal and dps. Therefore they can spec into any of the two they like and generally come out at (or near) the top of whatever they do (especially when it comes to the very OP Palys). Will Paladins ever be nerfed?! Every class has become far too easy to master on WoW now. Palys, Hunters (always have been), DK's and Mages (this one less than the others) especially. In the end though none of the other classes take much skill to play nowadays either. Blizz seem to be trying to aim WoW towards the newer players a little too much....... Gz on 80 by the way. Now you will get to do the ever-so-dull Argent Tournament. At least it adds some more dailies for gold. Other than that I think it is a complete waste of time and is just not needed. Plus the items that can be purchased are pointless in my opinion unless you love RP or something. On the bright side I have come back to the game (as you can tell), yet I don't play it as often. I have come back for some raiding and am enjoying it at the moment.

Just got one, it's UTV_1982 and I'm playing Fifa 09 and Killzone 2 (yet to play this but I will be soon). Not sure how the whole friends thing works on this yet, so feel free to add me.

I can't believe this thread even exists. This just shows the fact that some Villa supporters are expecting way too much. To even question him being the manager shows that people are expecting us to make huge leaps every season. I voted yes because MON has improved us so much. I am behind him 100% and think he will take us even further. Even if things don't turn out right in a season or two, for now there can be no doubt that he is the man for the job. He makes some mistakes, but so does every manager. He has work to do in the summer and I feel that will determine whether he will be the man to take us forward after next season. Yet that is some time off. Right now he has done all anyone could have done (and more). He has made a group of average players play out of their skins for the season. During the summer we will see if he can get the quality in that we need. Let's not all go expecting to finish in the top four next season though. ANother top six finish next season with an improved squad would do me fine. Let's keep on building and improving gradually. We aren't Chelsea, and for that I am grateful.

Yep, Unholy DK and Holy Paly are the perfect team for 2v2.

That's it! Time to duel.

Funny that, you could do the same with Paly's too. Actually they are even easier than DK's to out-dps anyone, and to be a killing machine in BG's. Also your battlegroup must suck big time if a DK in that gear can top the damage. It gets so tiring when people complain about DK's being easy to play. I'm not just saying that because I have a level 80 DK as one of my mains. It's because people should spend more time learning to play their own class than whining about DK's being op. Maybe you should complain about Paly's instead, or Druid's, or even Hunter's? Neither of them are exactly balanced. You could go on all day whining about every class. The fact is that every class in WoW is easy to play, and it takes a retard not to be able to master them (that's not aimed at you by the way).

Hi General, I just wanted to let you know that many of us are proud of the way Villa performed today. We deserved to win, yet we just couldn't get the result in the end. Mostly due to poor officiating throughout the game. Please let the players know that despite losing, we are proud of the effort they put in. We deserved more from the game, but we didn't get it. I hope they can give that type of display for the rest of the season. If they can then I will have no complaints. Despite losing I felt proud of the way the team performed today. Everyone on the pitch gave it there all and I hope their heads don't drop due to an unfortunate (and extremely unlucky) loss.

I miss pre-WoTLK too. I just feel it has gotten so boring now. I don't know why, but it feels as if something is missing. Everything is too easy and there isn't as much fun to be had as there used to be.

Surprised two people have put Everton. I don't see them as a hate-worthy club to be honest. They are similar to us in many ways and I actually don't mind them.

Gotten into this now. Had already watched a few episodes, but now I really like it. Such a clever idea and it's funny. Even the opening to it (with the bacon etc) is brilliant.

The White Stripes - My Doorbell

True, Chelsea aka Buy-A-League deserve some votes.

Quite a few I don't like in that list, but my vote goes to Arsenal. Not just because they are fighting us for fourth either (well maybe a bit). I just think they have crap support, a word removed for a manager that does nothing but complain, an all foreign team, plus they think they are better than they are in reality. I really do despise Arsenal and hope that they drop like a brick over the coming seasons. I am sure Emirates would be half empty if they weren't fighting for top four. Oh wait, it is anyway......
