dont like chelsea in the slightest but you have to admire the way they played 2-0 down away at barca with 10 men... Also i think Di Matteo is quality and should get a go at the job next season.
I watched this last night on the local Al Jazeera sports channel. I thought it was an amazing game & I was delighted that Chelsea overcame all the odds to win the tie. Thankfully Al Jazeera had their own show, although the Sky match coverage & commentary was shown. As befits a TV programme produced by the richest country in the world (Qatar) the studio panel was Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer, Terry Venables & Ruud Gullit. An impressive turnout & they did an excellent job.
Pete, whats Lineker like as a pundit...or was he in the same role as MOTD?
Lineker was chairing the panel, similar to MOTD. But there was a detailed pre-match build up that lasted the best part of an hour as well as HT & FT discussions. They all contributed a lot & Gullit was the joker in the pack. He managed to reduce the others to streams of tears with some of his anecdotes. They worked really well together & I was impressed with how Lineker kept the whole thing going. It was a really good show & it's a pity that they were playing to such a limited audience.
hate chelsea, but i actually cheered when torres scored, at the end of the day there a london club in the final it all helps with our seedings for future european competitions, bayern will win tonight and then smash chelsea in the final robben to get 3.

I find it very hard to believe a Barca fan, living in the US would even be aware of us?
Serious question, if we were 2-0 up against Chelsea and they had a man sent off, would we have done much worse? I don't think so.
Not quite fair, because once it went to 2-1 (i.e. almost straight away) Barcelona were chasing the game and therefore vulnerable to the counter attack.
I wanted Chelsea to lose but found myself cheering them on by the second half you gotta respect that performance last night. It's also a lot easier to like Chelsea when Terry's not playing.
