Well the difference is Harry has been in management for what? 30+ years?
He's won an FA Cup. The most over rated manager I've come across.
Kenny has won Leagues and Cups. In fact as it's a cup competition he's probably the best shout!
His Tottenham side were completely inept in Europe this season, and its because he hasn't a clue on anything other than 2 wingers 2 strikers 2 midfielder and 4 defenders and a keeper.
We wouldn't get past the groups with Arry. Probably won't anyway.
'Stay away from the England job 'Arry'
That statment is about as wrong as what Hitler did all them years ago (Big comparison I know)
He's the man I would pick tomorrrow to manage England, you comment on bad run of form like you are blaming it on him... but wait a second where's the blame to Kenny with Liverpools awful form in the League!

I truly cannot believe what I have just witnessed...
Chelsea, down to 10 men for the majority of the game at the Nou Camp, beat the best team that the world has ever seen, with Torres scoring the winner!
Best match I've seen since Newcastle vs Arsenal 4-4.
So pleased for Torres. I don't care much for Chelsea or Barca, but that was one hell of a game!

Chelsea in champions league final...pure disgrace for football.
Im sure they were glad with that red card....for having a proper excuse defending with 10 man in their own 16 meter. Seemed a handball game almost two times 90 mins.
A simple penalty sitter for Messi and a quality final was there....
And Terry...captain for England? Will be a short time in Poland/Ukrain then..........
Torres with his past in Madrid...scoring in Barcelona is humor....wouldnt be appreciated in Catelunia hehe

Gary Neville enjoyed that goal just a little too much don't you think?

Brilliant defensive performance from Chelsea compared to the first game. They allowed way fewer chances- only this time Barcelona actually converted a few of them!
The penalty looked like it may have been a dive (?). And Terry is an idiot. But overall a good performance from the referee I would say!
I can't see them having any chance in the final though, with all of their players missing. Then again, that's what we said before this tie as well.....
Looking forward to derry's speech.

Fair play to them. Fought like beavers that 2nd half. Barcelona out of league and europe. Showed their class today their fans singing their anthem at the end. Let's see who Chelsea now, should be entertaining. Geoff Shreeves was great after the game trying to make Ivanovic cry.

Well well well...
Who are the best team in the bloody world!? Haha.
Key events -
Terry seeing red - Sanchez should have been booked for diving. What a cheat!
Ramieres goal - Siiiccckkkkkk!
Torres goal - Siiiicccckkkkk!
Iniesta & Bushquets goals - Super lucky, one was clearly offside and the other shouldnt of stood because our right back was out of position.
Haha.
Nah Terry was a plonker, what was he doing? I dont however think the punishment beinng talked about is neccessary. They are talking about a 10-15 match ban... or ban from 3 European competitions? He gave him a knee...? Worst tackles are made game in game out. Meh.
Ramieres, just after getting booked and being told he won't compete in the final... 2-0 down... gets the ball and cool as a cucumber... dink! Absoloute peach.
"Are you Messi in disguise!?" Was my chant.
Torres moment was pure magic. Never been so relieved? Proud? of my lads.
Defended superbly. That is how you defend.
Nobody can tell me Chelsea were lucky this time round, I will not stand for it. I love all these parking the bus digs. Jealousy is a bad trait!

I completely jynxed Cahill, had him first scorer at 100/1 and Cahill to score and Chelsea to qualify at 400/1.
Had the same with Terry...
Interestingly, one is sent off and the other injured ha!
2-0 down at the Nou Camp, to Barcelona, with 10 men and losing your captain... couldnt have asked for a better performance.
Ivanovic header, was a sitter that.
I still dont think Chelsea have been given any real credit. We havent lost to Barca in 8 consecutive games. We beat them over 2 legs on goals with a man less. Yes Messi missed a pen, yes Cech saved two onto the post in each leg and yes at times we were fortunate, however - we done what no other team could do, we made the impossible, possible. Messi was a stranger, forcing passes, missing pens. Chelsea tactics were spot on.
Incredible performance! I've only just got back home from last night haha. Was a little merry.
Messi losing the ball for our first goal, Messi losing the ball for our 2nd goal, and Messi missing a penalty... Ouch!
And then, Ronaldo seems to do the business... to again miss a pen in a shootout!
What a game that was tonight as well. From start to finish (seeing as we are without Terry, Ivanovic, Ramieres, Miereless) I was cheering on yellow cards, suspensions. After witnessing our resilliance, I wanted Munich to win, I predicted they would and I feel we can expose their defense. Now Alaba, Badstuber and Gustavo suspended? Even better!

Thought the ref tonight was extremely poor.
Pepe had to go for his foul which gave away the peno. Gustavo should have been booked ages before he was, 7 fouls?
Even when they scored the winning pen, Sccchhhwiiiinnneeeestieger took his shirt off, I was like... YELLOW! YELLOW! haha.
Munich, at Munich? Interestingly... 3 European finals have been played there, on each occassion a first time winner has been crowned! Is it fate? Is it even thinkable?
This season, we have been 3-0 up against United... Beaten Newcastle, Smashed Spurs 5-1, Coming from behind to beat City.. overturned a 3-1 first leg against Napoli reached the FA Cup and Champions league finals... And then done what we did yesterday... You may hate us, we dont care... but I think all that deserves a little respect, regardless of luck/fortune.
Final will be a cracker! 17,500 Chelsea tickets, disgusting. Tickets from £400-£800 atm. Dirt.
Each game as it comes, QPR next up, we need to get revenge on them and make up for that game against them earlier this season.
Flying the flag - Chelsea football club <3

Parking the bus isn't a jibe. It is a well known tactic teams use against Barca to stifle them. Mourinho admitted to doing it with Inter in his post match presser.
Speaking of which, poor Jose, he'll never beat Bob Paisleys 3 European Cups. Only took Bob a few quid and 6 years as well Mourinhos been following the money for his entire career and is still struggling.
Good game that though, Munchen good in attack and defense, think Chelsea might beat them though, quite easily in fact. Bayern have been poor throughout the season and Dortmund won the league easily. I know they broke a club record for clean sheets this season, but they look poor at the back at the best of times, and their back 4 has now been destroyed. The yellow card ruling is very harsh.
Madrid bottled the pens, Ramos with his Charlie Adam inspired pen and the two most expensive players of all time failing to beat Manuel Nueur. Maybe the fans will like him now? He got dogs abuse off them early in the season because he played for Schalke, though they did agree to treat him as a full member of the Bayern team after a meeting. Lmao. How nice of them!
Yeah, Chelseas run reminds me of Liverpools. Nobody was really expecting them to win, thinking eventually their run would end, that the better teams would beat us, but Nope. Djimi Traore, Vladamir Smicer, Neil Mellor, Anthony Le Tallec, Sinema Pongolle and Igor Biscan stood firm! Maybe London will finally cease to be a European Cup free zone?

I think and hope Bayern will win it. They must be favorites at home and with fewer important players missing?
I'd rather be missing Luis Gustavo and Holger Badstuber than John Terry and Ivanovic...
All season all we've heard here in Germany is this endless 'final at home' crap, they won't let Chelsea take it now they've made it.

Ivanovic who has scored 5/6 goals since January? Scoring the winner against Napoli...
Terry captain, played the final before... but if he has the stupidity to do that in a semi, then he doesnt deserve to play the final.
Ramieres, his goal against Barca helping us into the final...
Miereles' spectacular goal v Benfica to win the game...
These 4 players won't be there. Thats a huge dent for any team. Ramieres/Ivanovic the biggest loss tho. Incredible players this year.
Chelsea must be the underdogs, its an away game for the final, aginst one of the competitons all-time giants. I prefer for Chelsea to be on the backfoot, to be pushed back and play like an away team. But one thing that helps, is that there is no pressure on us. It isnt our home stadium, and nobody still really expects a Chelsea win. When Chelsea have played the big boys all season, we have been second best concerning the odds, but I think we have held our own against them winning more than losing.
But with Cahill (hamstring) could be out for 4-8 weeks. Luiz is still not fit... We dont have one single Centre back. Could this be the moment we pay for losing Alex? Could be...
Cech
Bosingwa - Ferriera - Mikel - Cole
Then thats Ramieres, Miereles and Mikel missing from Defensive midfield so leaves
Essien - isolated. With only Romeu who is left to play. Lampard completes the trio.
Then Drogba, upfront with Kalou and Mata supporting....

-------------------Cech-------------------
Bosingwa - Ferriera - Mikel - Cole
--------- Essien --------- Romeu------
------------------Lampard---------------
Kalou ----------------------------- Mata
--------------------Drogba----------------
3 players missing from defense, 3 from midfield... and missing our Captain.
So its important we have Cahill & Luiz fit so we can push Mikel up for Romeu.
Ramieres' legs, pace and defensive talent will nowhere near be matched by Kalou, sadly.
Our only saving grace, is I think we can easily expose Bayerns Defensive unit. They are no match for Drogba, like him or not.
But with Gomez as his opposite, without a proper centre back? Robben and Ribery pacing down the wings can cross balls in for Gomez, who is a sure favourite to connect.
Proud of my boys come rain or shine.
But answer me this... do we focus on top 4? Or the final? we need to be in the competition next year... but do we rely on Newcastle losing to City? Us beating Newcastle? Spurs losing/drawing a game? Chelsea beating Liverpool at Anfield?
Or do we just rest the little players we have, for the big final and take 6th spot? All or nothing.
