Chelsea v Bayern Munich ***** Official Match Thread *****

[Goldstone Rapper]

Kit-wise, it's like watching Brian Clough's all-conquering Nottingham Forest v Jimmy Melia's Brighton side. C'mon, Albion! We can win the European Cup.

Blimey the Chelsea support gs forgot to turn up, haven't heard a peep out of them.

Pretty one sided so far.

I can understand Chelsea playing these negative tactics against Barca but I've got no idea why they are playing like this against the 2nd best side in Germany.

Agree. BM look like they may succumb if Chelsea actually attacked a bit more.

 

[Worthingite]

have to say, it's been a poor game so far

I tipped Bayern, but I am now supporting Chelsea. I like their style better and they look more clinical. Gomez misses a good chance. He does that quite often (he will score 1 in 3, really good strikers will get 1 in 2). But he gets the goals. Bayern are more like West Ham.

It looks like the game will warm up in the second half. Referee is good enough. I hope it is not spoiled by a sending off or dubious decision. One Chelsea player should have been booked.

Because they're the 6th best side in England playing away to the 2nd best side in Germany.

Chelsea are the fourth best side.

Clearly offside.

 

[Northstandite]

Bayern totally outplaying and outclassing a very defensive & uninventive Chelsea team. That'll be a Chelsea win then. A trend in football of late.

 

[Skaville]

The Chelsea fans are f***ing shit. Are there any there?

 

[Worthingite]

Andy Townsend is really grinding my gears. Bored of his double handed wanking over Chelsea

To be fair Germans have a long and distinguished history of chanting stuff.

Fourth best in what?

can't remember a game where they've cut away from the pitch to show an outside view of the stadium...just shows how breathtakingly beautiful that building is!!!

 

[perseus]

I like the way Bayern play the ball easily out of defence whereas Chelsea have not done this. I think they might be capable of doing so. Bayern look inventive enough to score.

Dinner is waiting to be eaten. If I go and get it, one team is bound to score. 73 mins.

Reminds me of the game when Vicente passed to Navarro who turned and scored with an intelligent and unexpected goal. Which game was that. I have forgotten. Nearly, Muller missed it for Bayern.

Can any Chelsea fans on here explain why Torres is not playing alongside Drogba

Please for the sake of all that is good about football, let chelsea lose. What a bunch of boring old has beens. No doubt if they lose, we will hear a load of bollocks about there never say die spirit. The truth being they are hoping to get lucky again

I dunno, it'd be pretty ironic to see the Germans lose at penalties....

Kalou is the weakest link in this Chelsea team, he is shit at the level they are playing at
