Ha! One hour and fifteen mins to go and to coin a movie phrase, "I'm puckered up tighter than a snare drum."

I'm bricking it!!!!!!!!!!
 
Obviously I wish my team were playing Roger but I don't miss the nervy feeling.

Think about it. It will be your riddle for the evening. :)

I've already got a riddle for the evening though....whether to put a tenner on West Ham finishing higher than Liverpool next season. :D

The only reason I can think of for having two FiLs is bigamy.

That's really the only reason you can think of? :eek:

Come on its easy, plus there is more then one way actually and it's not that she has two gay dads that used a surrogate. :lol:
 
Hope Chelsea win tonight.
 
I can't multi task and I'm just about to settle down for the CL final so I'm happy with the two gay dads solution. And that also explains your suppressed love of musicals :thumbs:

Hoping Chelsea can deliver a win later.

8 of the last 9 CL finals have been won by the first team to score so that first goal will be crucial!

If Chelsea win, doesn't that mean you no longer qualify automatically for CL and have to go through the qualifying stage?

Thanks for letting me know. Will try and catch it on Youtube when someone uploads it. Always a mf when a penalty can change a game. Shame Hibs couldn't recover.

Have look at footytube.com it compiles loads of football highlights from all over and doesn't get the fake titled videos that YouTube gets spammed with.

Honestly, I don't know. I had a google and it seems Arsenal and UEFA are equally unsure what happens... http://www.theweek.co.uk/football/c.../confusion-over-arsenal-champions-league-play

UEFA seem to say no play-off but it isn't convincing.

As it stands, and with our history of success in play-offs, I'd rather see Chelsea bring the trophy to England and Spurs miss out. Really though, I love Bayern Munich and won't mind if they win either.



Edit:

I really dislike this new tactic Chelsea have adopted against greater sides where they just sit back, hope to weather a storm, and then snatch the odd goal. No doubt it's worked for them so far but it doesn't make for football that I enjoy watching.

Yep - If Chelsea win then the 3 that qualify are Chelsea plus 1st & 2nd in the Premier League (City & United)

The team that finished 3rd in the Premier League become the 4th Champions League team and therefore have to go into a qualifier.

Obviously if Chelsea don't win then the top 3 in the Premier League qualify and the 4th place team in the Premier League have to go into a qualifier.

PS

Back in time for the game tonight - reminds me of the semi final a bit. Chelsea getting mullered but not conceeding.

How funny was that footage of Abramovich doing some sort of funky chicken ?
 
I've changed my mind. Chelsea will win this

Simple, one is actually a 'step dad in law'.
 
Ashley Cole is proving that he is the best LB in the world, immense performance tonight.
 
Bayern should have had this game put to bed to bed but haven't.

I'm going late Chelsea win or on penalties.

That said we're talking Germans and penalties.

Hello
 
What's with the PA announcer whipping up the bayern fans after they went ahead. I thought this was meant to be a neutral venue not a home game.

1:1 game on !
 
Yet another double post. That does my head in.

Wouldn't it be funny if Bayern lost now like they did in 99
 
I can still see lothar matteus's face
 
this is absolutely horrible! Come on Boys!
 
I was starting to hope for a Chelsea win but i've just seen that clip of Terry dancing about on the touchline.

If they win and he starts poncing about I'll have to switch off.
 
name on the cup or what
 
Come on. What do you all reckon? I'm going bAyern on pens

Why? Whats he supposed to do. Sit down emotionless with a cup of tea??? He came up through the youth system - has been captain for what must be 8 years or so, he should be dancing around.
 
I'm going for a late winner by Bayern

Or based on fate - Chelsea on Pens

I'm not for one min saying he shouldn't be dancing about - just that when he does I personally have to look away as it makes me cringe.
 
I'm hoping for Bayern, but expecting a Chelsea win.
