We are the Cardiff of the Champions league!!!

[Fugitive]

From the Official Chelsea site...

 

So, bring on Liverpool, who seem to have squeezed past Arsenal, in the end, with the help of a highly contentious refereeing decision. (I know - at Anfield. Who'd have thought it?) The end-result is the semi-final that nobody in the world, so far as I can make out, really wanted. And of course it could only be disappointing to advance this far in the Champions League and then end up playing, not a charismatic team from some exotic European destination, but an extremely dull one from the Premier League. It's like flying off on holiday and ending up in your back garden.

 

 

But we must take what we are given - and consider ourselves fortunate. After all, it's a draw against the weakest team remaining in the competition - the Cardiff, if you will, of the Champions League. And there is ample history on our side: too many of our players have known disappointment at this stage of the competition, too often.

 

Imagine, then, the steel-like resolve they'll be taking into this game. It surely can't happen again.

 

 

Unbelievable.

[zigackly]

Haha, they won't know what hit them.

[bobhorse]

That has to be a piss take that

[Fugitive]

I just cant believe they would put something like that on an Official site. Stuff like this must make Rafa's job a bit easier in the run up to games. Just stick that on the wall of the dressing room and they will be ready.

Maybe it is but the pricks are arrogant enough to actually believe that. I'm not so sure they are pissing about.

1) A highly contentious refereeing decision at anfield, was the only reason they salvaged a point from us last time they were here.

2) "It surely can't happen again." - I agree, that would be mental.

3) They've been put out twice in the semi's by the Cardiff of the Champions League. How shit are they ?

Was that written before or after they squeaked past Everton tonight with their charismatic, exotic brand of gung-ho football?

Before, I saw a link to it a few days ago. They really are deluded.

 

I think I read somewhere that they think they can sign Messi AND Kaka in the summer.

[Guest PaddyBerger15]

No title for 50 years, spend half a billion quid and suddenly there is 'ample history on their side'. The stupid Cockney wankers, we've been in as many European Cup finals as times they've qualified for the competition.

[zigackly]

They've got good players and they're a danger if they ever decide to play as a team. In rotten form at the moment though and if we play at the top of our game we should go through. Whoever wrote that on their website is completely deluded.

[Unrighteous]

That's nuts. Cardiff? Easiest club left? What club do you think they were watching the last three years? We toolboxed them twice in the Semis and had the better of them in the Group stages between there.

[ReddOrDedd]

How embarrassing for them. Even the most deluded Chavski fans must be squirming in their seats.

[OnizukaEikichi]

if we can win the CL as 'cardiff' of CL, so let it be.

It can and it will happen again you tossers!

[fivetimes]

Dont worry about them. They are a small club who are dying for someone to be a rival like liverpool/man utd, man utd/arsenal etc etc. They cant handle that no one gives a fuck about them and view them in the same league as blackburn for just buying the league.

It was written by someone called Giles. In the history of football has there ever been a top player called Giles?

[Dirk]

Their arrogance is incredible. I love it, though, it's the type of stuff that serves only to motivate us. Motivational tools, literally. Pricks that do the motivating for us.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Played 3, lost 3 is history on their side, apparently!

John? He actually was a decent player.

First name Giles ron lad, first name.

the best thing about that article for me is that they do rate us as the cardiff of the champions league. its one of the main reasons beating them the first time was so enjoyable, Jose writing 33 on the board before the players turned up, them thinking they had won already and would walk it, yet it seems they never learn.

 

Suggesting that because the players keep losing in semi finals they will be better suited to winning this time, and then again taking the opposition for granted is just perfect.

 

I cannot wait to see John Terry cry again, only difference this time will be he is doing it at the bridge. Come on.

[wiiksie]

haha, well that gave me a nice little chuckle this morning. "Steel like resolve"...

 

I look forward immensely to knocking them out at their own ground.

I don't get that. What did that mean?

[BROCK]

It's a good omen for us that, Wenger called us Millwall in 2005 now we're Cardiff. FUCKING GET IN!

[BROCK]

I don't get that. What did that mean?

 

I think it was the amount of points they were ahead of us in the league at the time.
