It's not a given but provided we don't go to sleep as we did against QPR then we will walk it .

Question ,if we finish 3rd and Chelsea win the CL doesn't that mean the 4th team go into Europa League???

I can see them up the road actually finishing below Newcastle now but just in case !

I think UEFA changed the rules after that so that it couldnt happen again :?

UEFA changed it after livrpool won so no country can have 5 teams. so if chavs win then only top 3 go into CL.

Thanks Reb thats what I've thought but I've yet to see it mentioned anywhere.

Whilst the chances are against them this is probably the best chance Chelsea will ever have in the CL as no one expects them to do anything .........they and their manager have nothing to lose by going for it against Barca,which is the only way to beat them.

Now I'm far from counting chickens BUT it COULD happen and I can see the maggots sneaking 4th hopefully behind us !

Im up for this one and will be tuning in from afar ce sois !

Why not? We would've beaton Barca last year if the ref hadnt robbed us, and even then if Nikky B could have put away that sitter right at the end. Far stranger things have happened in Football.

Exactly. Chelsea are obviously underdogs, but we've all seen far bigger upsets than this, so it's possible.

Who thought Greece would win the Euro's? :shock:

Depends which Arsenal team turns up, we seem to lack motivation against the smaller teams.
