Uh oh.

Chelsea deserve this. Up against 10 men and they're still camped in their own half.

Awesome. Fucking get in.

Alves

Stonewall penalty.

Guardiola clearly doesn't have faith in any of his subs.

Dirty Chelsea.

Wasn't even a red, even if it was a foul, which it clearly wasn't in a million years.

Blatant dive.

Keita really has to be replaced now. More of a hindrance than a help to the team.

Toure pushing his luck there. Great tackle though.

Drogba should have finished the tie there.

Feels like Barca are playing with ten men. Keita needs to be taken off for Gudjohnsen or Bojan.

Same as the first leg for Barca. They need to sign a midfielder who poses a real goal threat from 25 yards.

Messi does A.Cole again.

Nowhere near as good as Zidane's volley in the CL final. Talk about talking bollocks.

Ashley Cole being his usual fairy self. Slightest touch and he's writing around in pain.

"Why else would Drogba go down?" Because his touch had taken the ball into the keeper.

Iniesta's close control is insane. Arguably better than Messi's.

Fuck me what a strike by Essien.

The transfer policies of Wigan recently/currently ('youngish' talent with the hunger to prove themselves) and Portsmouth under Redknapp (athletic/big players with decent ability) would be pretty good ones to adopt, with the bonus being that if things work out, we'd be in a position to hold onto any gems we do uncover. There's no reason why we couldn't adopt policies like those. Adopting an intelligent policy like those of the two examples given would probably see us land more Bassongs and Jonas' as opposed to the numerous slow, talentless, weak or expensive flops that we've filled the squad with.

Fletcher That will surely be overturned, looked like a good last ditch tackle ala Beye on Robinho.

Sell Ronaldo for £70m, sign Ribery for £64m. Some plan that is.

Duff is certainly a match winner - if the game being played was winning JFK's heart (no pun intended). Sir Bobby talks sense overall, and Ashley really should be listening to advice from someone like him, but he still shows that hint of poor judgement on certain players, like when he sold Nobby for cheap and replaced him with Darren Ambrose.
