Apparently Derby dominated, our strikers are nearly all terrible though. Fielding is about 5'9", surprised he doesn't get lobbed every week.

We were the complete definition of mid-table mediocrity this season. Better than a relegation scrap, I guess. Good luck in the playoffs.

As an Arsenal fan let me be the first to say fuck that shit. Barca all the way.

Although having to play them on Saturday I would prefer if Chelsea are still "in" the tie so their minds are elsewhere on Saturday.

Damn straight.

As a Spurs fan though I'd prefer them utterly dead and buried :P

I don't really care who wins but really want it to be a good game. I'm looking forward to it!

I just wish they'd bring back the Tactics Truck, pop Townsend and everyone else from ITV Sport including Chiles, and drive it off a cliff.

I'm supporting Chelsea tonight. Does that put me on my own as a neutral? It would be good for ALL Premier League teams if one of them can put an end to Barca's tyranny.

As a neutral I tend to side with the underdogs, so I'll probably be leaning toward Chelsea as well. I expect them to start the game like Milan did, pressing high up the pitch, trying to force mistakes by not giving Barca the time to play it out from the back. Milan would have gone a goal up from that approach if Robinho would have had some composure. They won't be able to sustain that kind of game for long though, so after 15 minutes or so I expect them to sit deep, not really pressing Barca until they get into the final third, trying to restrict them to shots from distance. When they win it back they'll hit long-balls up to Drogba, rather than risk playing it through the midfield and being dispossesed.

The in-depth Neville section is brilliant. Its probably such a huge culture shock for people used to the wisdom of Townsend, Shearer and Lawro et al!

It's just another level of punditry, obviously helped by prep time but can you imagine the others standing up to try and demonstrate something before realising they're wearing a suit and have a little computer with a load of video clips...

It's not only me who cringes every time the commentators attempt to point out that Messi 'is actually human' or something along those lines, right? It just gets embarrassing after a while.

OMFG Messi got tackled, it must be a sign of the second coming or something.
