A blind goldfish could lead that team to the title.

There you go over-estimating your own abilities again

[Craig_H]

You bully.

[Fiddy]

You bully.

Aww. Pats DJS on head

[Craig_H]

Stop that. I dont know where you've been...

Ooh it's so tempting to make a 'your momma' joke there...

For the record, that piece of footage was from the Chelsea v Arsenal game, and was his reaction to Drogba's 2nd goal, to give them the lead with 8 mins to play...

He's obviously just clapping, just like the fellas behind him. Heh!

have to say I'm concerned that we are becoming over-confident and complacent and underestimating Chelsea because their manager appears on the face of it to be inept...

300 mill worth of players should still have a chance against us no matter how inept their manager seems to be.

Exactly. I've read things here and on other forums where it has been taken as gospel by some that we will beat Chelsea and get to Moscow. The truth is very different. While theoretically speaking beating this Chelsea team should be easier than overcoming the two Mourinho incarnations we beat to reach Istanbul and Athens respectively, we can't afford to take anything for granted or to get complacent. They have the the hunger of reaching their first final driving them, plus the agony of two previous semi defeats at our hands to motivate them.

Anyway, I'm sure Rafa and the boys will be fully prepared and ready and will be taking nothing for granted.

Nobodies taking it for granted dhav mate.

Nobodies taking it for granted dhav mate.

Pleased to hear it mate (although some of the posts I've read since we got through last week suggest otherwise!).

Just always makes me feel uneasy when we start getting ahead of ourselves.
