Chelsea's performance last night

[Vermilion]

Well they're in for a shock when we go through next week, it aint over till it's over, 3-0, 4-1, here we ****in come, if it's meant to be it's meant to be, i'm down as **** with the result, but i'm not mourning our departure from the tournament just yet, brilliant comebacks would never happen without ****ty first leg defeats, one always precedes the other, it's the way it is, and the club with a history of such comebacks just happens to be us.

It's not likely i know, it's Chelsea after all, grasping at straws?..yes, but still, as i say, comebacks can't happen without results like this first.

3-1 to penos, terry to miss again pool go through.

[DannyMan2006]

Out of 150 or so ties in Europe, only four times has a side over turned a 3-1 result at home. And only once in the European Cup, about forty years ago.

Vert tough ask, but as the four occasions show - Not impossible.

Deportivo La Coruna 4 AC Milan 0 (Deportivo won 5-4 on aggregate, champions League quarter-final, April 2004)

Deportivo left the San Siro after the first leg on the end of a 4-1 defeat facing the task of overhauling a three-goal deficit against an Italian defence including Paolo Maldini and Alessandro Nesta. Walter Pandiani's early goal was added to by Juan Carlos Valeron's header half an hour later as the Spanish side started to believe. Just two minutes before half-time Albert Luque held off Nesta before smashing the ball into the roof of the net to put the home side ahead on aggregate. Veteran substitute Fran stunned the Rossoneri when he sealed the amazing comeback with a fourth goal 15 minutes from time.

recon it was the best performance by a visiting side since Valencia

I recon we were poor due to the fact they had their tactics spot on and played them to the letter.

Did get me thinking if we hadn't been on the great run and got the league to think about would we off been a bit more cautious and maybe gone for a 0-0 with a break goal. It was like we needed to win it last night.
We had so much off the ball and in their half they effectivly played like we have the last few seasons.

and the way the plaudits are going on about it shows the higher level we're at.

Saturday if we can put in a good performance then we are the real deal.

Nice one.

You need to spray some of that positivity in the direction of a few posters.

[Slinky Skills]

I still think we're going to have them at their place. Terry will be a massive loss.

Hats off to them they were very good last night to be fair, credit where it's due.

Yeah but neither of those two games was a home defeat.
