If think Barca are beatable, but I was not particularly impressed with Chelsea against Spurs. Spurs were so awful Chelsea should have got at least six.

Forecast 1-1 (Barca going to Chelsea is a bit like West Ham going to Bristol City, apart from the skill level: the standard gap).

Barca playing with Chelsea flicking the ball on to the bar when it was easier to score.

The main interest to me is the differing styles and how would Barca get on if they played Stoke.

Match:

Great long ball from Barca, highly accurate switching wings. Pinpoint right across the pitch. I think this is by Sanchez.

Chelsea reply, hump up the pitch by Terry in the vague approximation of a Chelsea player who was marked and lost it.

Yes Barca are the best team in the world , but do they realy need to make such a big deal over every contact

:goal:

Messi gives the ball away and Drogba finishes the breakaway.

How did Drogba manage to do that, what with a sprained ankle, bruised thigh, tweaked calf, over-frowned face?

Very nice counter attack by Chelsea, 1-0 to them on the stroke of half time.

By the way, what on EARTH is going on with Raul Meireles' hair?!

Its a miracle Drogba managed to stay upright long enough to score that.

Can't believe the idiot on talk sport was saying the only way to beat them was to kick them up in the air... Defend and counter attack, that is how mourinho has beaten them.

By the nature of his style of play Drogba will always spend half the time on the floor... I'd like to have him for a season!

BTW I can't stand Chelski.
