And Ramires. Both have been outstanding for Chelsea. Meireles done exceptional in the two legs.

Can Phoenix or Admin shed any light on who'll replace those suspended for the final? Another make shift defence perhaps ?

Are you kidding me son? Those cheating 'stnuc' have gotta way with murder this season

yeah i saw that it was geoff shreeves the fat little fuck he'll do anything to get a story going the little rat he sits next to the dugouts waitiing to pounce anything that happens on the sidelines, cant stand the man, it did it to dalglish after the match at OT deliberetly trying to piss him off just to get a rise out him. i like ivanovic, he look devastated at the end like he didnt even know but he must of surely ? there missing so many vital players for the final if its bayern they will have a chance but if its real madrid theyll think they can take them on and come unstuck i think, i hope they win it though mainly because i cant stand mourinho.

Define cheating my friend and then show me an innocent player? Cheating ranges from claiming a ball did not hit you last to earn a corner, to taking a tumble in the box to earn a penalty.
Some chose to turn a blind eye to some things, then kick up a fuss about others.

We are hoping (praying) that Luiz will be fit to replace Terry. Luiz and Cahill are the only centre backs we have now, assuming they are both fit in time. Bosingwa should replace Ivanovic (Ferreira is another option but is injured at the moment). Essien is the likely replacement for Meireles, unless Lampard drops back to that position. To replace Ramires there are options, with Kalou probably the favourite, but Malouda or Sturridge could also come in.

Torres was easily worth the transfer fee i would say he's one of the best players in the world when he was one on one with the keeper i never doubted he would score we're in the final woooo

find it bit ironic that of all chelsea so called big name managers the only 2 that have got to Champions League Finals have been Avram Grant and RDM hardly big names

I hope Bayern will stuff Real tonight in the 2nd semi final, but I can't see it. Real will be looking to add to the run at the moment and will be riding hight after Beating Barca. I hope Ronaldo gets sent off so that he'll miss the final so it would give Chelski a chance!!

Any Real players in the same position as Chelski had last night (on yellow cards that is)?
If Bayern can raise their game I'd say they need to win at least 2-0. if not then I'd love to see Real go out on Penalities!!

not bad for the guy who was fired as the manager of West Brom, but Di Matteo has an easier job because he only has to worry about this season. AVB had to build for the future.

well done Bolton as well. it will be interesting to see what happens with Villa if Bolton, Wigan and QPR continue to pick up points

football. bloody hell!

That makes it more important for us (speaking as a QPR supporter) to get 6 out of 6 against both Stoke and Chelski to be sure. It'll be sad to see Villa go down (if they do - when was the last time they were not in the either the old First Division or the Premiership?), but the pivotal match is Wigan v Bolton.
To me that match is possibly the one that could settle one of the last two places and I expect it will be a very cagey game between the two. Then it would place more importance on us beating Chelski.

Really, really don't really know what to say about last night...think Gary Neville summed it up pretty well:

As long as we don't get any more injuries I think this would be the team:
Cech
Bosingwa Cahill Luiz Cole
Lamps Mikel Essien
Kalou Drogba Mata

Although JT & Brana are huge misses Ramires was arguably the most crucial to our tactics vs. Barca. Without him I'm not sure we'll be able to play the same way in the final. So we'll either switch back to our 4-2-3-1 and attack with Mata back in his best position, and Sturridge instead of Essien, which would be risky. Or Robbie will directly replace Rami with Kalou and try the same tactics against Bayern/Madrid, which is more likely
