liverbird04 Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 Quote John Terry, the Chelsea captain, has fanned the flames, though, by using his programme notes yesterday to accuse Liverpool supporters of “disgusting” chants at Anfield. Anyone know what was in them notes? not that he wrote them himself of course but I would like to know.
Cam Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 Lifted directly from the newly-printed Programme: "They sang songs about my mum. Okay, she's a bit of a slut and been around a bit - hell, even I've been there; I think cavernous is the word! - but there's no need for that. She's now married one of that group from that night. And it's not like she was always easy - before that night there was only my dad, his brother, her brother, me, my sister and her horse. Family's alright, innit. If I come up against anyone singing one of those songs in the street I'll rumble with 'em 'cos I'm a street dog not to be messed with. Still, they're a great club with a fantastic history that we could never buy - wish I played for them. Oh, and that Torres bloke... what an beautiful set of buns. Love him! Yours, 'J-SD-T'. xxx"
Guest ziggystardust Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 i defo want lampard to play. chelsea loom much better with ballack as the main man, plus essien will play right back if he does. its going to be a tight one.

Tosh Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 Drogba looked to have been a real handful yesterday. He scares me Skrtel scares me more though...
Rory Fitzgerald Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 (edited) Chelsea were savage against Utd. It really dampened the slowly rising optimism in me. If we go through against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge it will be our 2nd best result* in Europe under Benitez. *In Istanbuuuuul, we wooooon it faaaaaave tiiiiiiiimes Edited April 27, 2008 by Rory Fitzgerald

Having said that i'm not supremely confident about our game there.
psl Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 (edited) Love this from the captain - Not sure when he's tasted victory at the Stadio Delle Alpi though, he didn't even play in the draw there... http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/drilldown/N...080427-1035.htm GERRARD: WE CAN OUTPLAY CHELSEA Jimmy Rice 27 April 2008 Steven Gerrard believes Liverpool's class of 2008 have enough quality to outplay Chelsea in their own backyard. Stamford Bridge has not been the happiest of hunting grounds for Gerrard and co over the last few years, but with summer additions such as Ryan Babel and Fernando Torres, the skipper believes the Reds now have nothing to fear at the Bridge. The 2005 Champions League winner said: "We really feel that we are as good as Chelsea, if not better than them. We have certainly been the better team when we've played them this season. "We were the better team when we played them in the League at Anfield and again in the Champions League, only for both games to end in draws." A last-minute away goal to level the tie at 1-1 means Chelsea hold a slight advantage going into the second leg of this season's Champions League semi-final. But Gerrard went on: "We were gutted at the end of the first game because we were on top for most of the time and Chelsea scored their equaliser without really producing anything. "It was a real killer us, but these things happen in football and it's now all about how we react and how we recover. "Now we have got to back up a good performance with the right result." Gerrard has tasted victory at places like the Nou Camp, the San Siro and the Stadio Delle Alpi during Rafa Benitez's reign, memories which, despite Chelsea's lucky escape last week, serve as inspiration going into Wednesday night's clash. He added: "I'll be realistic and say the advantage lies with Chelsea now. They are a very good team and they have been very strong at home for a long time. "But we have shown over the last few years that we are a very good team away from home in Europe - and we want to go to Stamford Bridge and prove ourselves again. We've got to pull a big performance and result out of the bag - and if we do qualify for the final it will be as big an achievement as anything this club has ever done in Europe. "The way Chelsea celebrated at the end showed how happy they were with the 1-1 draw. They weren't being cocky, it was just that they were relieved to get that away goal. "Chelsea have got a great home record and we haven't done too well down there, but history will go out of the window that night. "We will give everything we've got and know that every player will have to put in a big performance if we are to do it. "If they didn't have Petr Cech in goal we might already be through. He pulled off some world-class saves against us - one of them from me - and he is right up there with the very best. "But you will always have a chance to win any game with a player like Fernando Torres in your team. "He has been superb for us all season and with him and all the other attacking players we have got we feel we will definitely score down there." Edited April 27, 2008 by psl
CaptainXabi Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 Now I'm nervous again for no reason. IF we don't go through I'm going to have a minor breakdown.
Stevie H Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 when do the chelsea target torres summer signing rumours start by the way? is it in monday's papers or tuesday's?
Bo Benn Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 Just read an article on the OS with no one else but our old fave Bruno Cheyrou. Apparently he was our last player to score there. Bit chocking I must say.
stressederic Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 I generally take a fairly detached view in the run up to games like this. I'm aware that they're coming and I know I'll be watching on Wednesday but I don't think about the various machinations to any great extent until Wednesday. It's the only way I can make it through the week.
stressederic Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 Macca said: what say the 8 ball Eric? Calm me I've not asked it yet. I may do on Wednesday but after Riise's abberation last week proved it wrong I want to cut down on the potential for unforeseeable quirks of fate to f*** us over again.

Terry said in his programme column for yesterday's match: "I've got to say that the stick us players took from their fans was horrible, but I'm sure every Chelsea fan will give it back to them on Wednesday night."We've heard about their fans around the last two semi-finals and how the second leg at Anfield is to their advantage."Well, I'll tell you what I think.

stressederic Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 I love the fact it's the players trying to gee up and support the fans and not the other way round.
