    No. Hence me telling a colleague he can have my house if they do.
    I mean, they're never going to get past Barca are they?

    They now have every chance of winning it, unfortunately.

    On any other day Barca would be in the final.

    Chavs managed a result against them in the first leg which knocked them enough that they then lost to their main rivals in the derby and had massive pressure on them to win the second leg.

    Lets be honest, Barca usually win most games at a canter and RM havent really been able to match them in the last few years so they have had it somewhat easy in certain respects. This is the first time for a while that they have had any real pressure put on them and they couldnt get the job done.

    Chavs defended with the bus and it worked.

    They now have 4 players out of the final plus the possibility of loosing other players to injury before then. I cannot see them having enough to beat RM or BM tbh.

    They'll be underdogs but as the 2 Barca games showed, anything can happen. Even more so in a one off game, you just need a little bit of luck, a decision to go your way etc.

    Let's hope they used up all their lives last night.

    They did tbh.

    They've done well to get there, but they wont have enough to win it.

    Its almost emulating our 05/06 CL run.

    Well, in theory I agree but I didn't think they'd beat Barca either and I doubt you did.

    We got our arses handed to us in the Camp Nou last year but had we not had that soft sending off and RvP had had that late chance instead of Bendner we might well have beaten them last year.

    In Cup football it's all on the day.

    This. I think Chavs have a chance to win it but don't think they will.

    1) They are missing to many key players.

    2) Aggregate won't help them this time so they will be under more pressure to score goals

    3) Bayern and Real are too teams who know how to shoot and score a good goal, so They way they defending yesterday won't be effective as it was against the Pass Pass Champions.

    This, its also about Luck too Chavs were not the better team, like we keep hearing they were, But they had luck on their side and it worked for them. It shows in the CL you don't need to spend loads or be the best to win it you just need strong mentality and a bit of quality and luck and you got a chance.

    Exactly right. Their Bendtner moment fell to someone who can control a football. Our Bendtner moment fell to Bendtner.
