Don't get me wrong, Chelsea will have a great chance if they can get past Inter, but I just can't see it. If Cech isn't available, he is a big miss. He's the best keeper in the world in my opinion, and a player of that calibre leaves a hole when he's not around.

The plus side is Lampard's driving power. He's the guy who makes them tick, and is always one of my fave players. They've got quality, but I think Mourinho knows them all too well, he'll have a plan ready.

He WAS the best keeper in the world no doubt, but i'm not sure that you could call him that recently.......He's still a great shot stopper, but he's become very indecisive when dealing with crosses, something that has caused a big problem for the rest of our back four. He's definitely not been the same since the fractured skull incident a couple of years ago (who can blame him?) and the skull cap that he's worn ever since is evidence of that.

Personally, i wish that he'd try and play without it. It would be a very big step for him to take, but it might just be the difference between the old Petr Cech and the one that we have now.

i'm a die hard blues fan...have had a season ticket at the bridge for 10 years now...and i'm bricking it about tomorrow night...i'll be at the game tomorrow night (8 hour return journey from the NW of england) but with the on off performances we've had lately, we've been a bit like wigan, not sure which team will turn up lol
if we play like we did against west ham or stoke then yeh, we'll go through, Malouda is finally starting to play like the player we payed £15m for Drogba and lamps are 2 of the most unplayable in their positions in the world.

Our problems at the back all went pete tong when steve clark left he was a huge charachetr and a huge force to have, just hope when zola eventually goes we get him back!

My heart says 3-0 tomorrow night, my head says 2-1 though :S

Oh and barca won't win it, no club have ever defended the CL since it became the CL and i cant see them doing it, will be one of the English clubs to win it i think though!

I agree about Cech, I don't think he's the best anymore. I'd have Van Der Sar, Casillas and Reina as better.

I have feeling Inter may pull off a draw, maybe a 1-1. Ideally being a Utd Fan I'd like to see Chelsea get through because it's more games for them and gives us a better chance of winning the league. Hopefully they do get through and get Barcelona in the QF.

Well am a Newcastle fan have been all my life. Id say Chelsea have not got a chance Jose will have it in his players heads he wants to beat Chelsea so much cant wait for game. And i know he wont but i love to see the run down line by Jose if they score was gutted ENGLAND didn't try harder to get him when we sacked DONKEY. Oh and id say Shay Given best goal keeper in the PL awesome player and thanks for the great displays shay

Some mistake surely? When it comes to goalkeepers, Buffon is in a league of his own.

Last 7 winners of the Goalkeeper Of The Year Award:

2003 - Gianluigi Buffon
2004 - Gianluigi Buffon
2005 - Petr Čech
2006 - Gianluigi Buffon
2007 - Gianluigi Buffon
2008 - Iker Casillas
2009 - Iker Casillas

Gianluigi Buffon is also the last winner of the Lev Yashin award for the best goalkeeper at the World Cup Finals (2006).

Ah Buffon. Good goalkeeper but I don't see enough of him to comment.

as a united fan, im always confident they'll do well, but this season im very confident we can win the champions league again. so far in europe we have been in great form and rooney's been unstoppable. a repeat of last years finalists looks likely but hopefully not the same outcome!
