Seriously i would rather we lose tonight 2-1 than draw 0-0. it will be a tough game too close to call and whomever gets a bit of luck or the big decisions in their favour will have the advantage going into the 2nd leg. I think the pressure has to be on Chelshit as this is seriously there only hope of silverware and me personally want to hammer them like Madrid did to Spurs yesterday especially Mrs Fairyboy Torres. Cant see it happening though lol.
