6th in Serie A Napoli 1 Chelsea 5th in the premier league league 1

Champions league at it's best?

Forever Green · February 21, 2012, 08:32:58 PM

This is more like it from Napoli. 2-1

EC Unique · February 21, 2012, 09:28:06 PM

P45 for AVB!

Villas Boas unlikely to be around for the return leg and English football has gone tits up in the champions league this season.

I thought you said when the draw was made Chelsea would have no bother beating Napoli. Shows how much you know.

We all know the Premier league is overrated when a sixth placed Serie A side can knock out two premier league sides.

Apparently Chelsea fans were dubbing him "Andre Villa's Toast" several weeks back.

I fancy it'll be somewhat harsher after tonight...

What do you think about paying GAA players? Is violence on the field the biggest cancer in the game? Will Fermanagh ever be worth a fcuk at Football or Hurling?

Got a text message there now 'this is the worst Chelsea team in their 8 year history' Sorry Norf!!

I said it at the start of the season, paying £12m for a manager was always going to heap un-necessary pressure on AVB.

Cole getting some stick for his enthusiasm on the sidelines last night!

had 10 bob on Napoli 3-1 Chelsea last night....yup.

The Racing Post called Napoli 'the bet of the season' last night, backed them at 13/10 myself. Saying that it was like a game of table football at times!

AVB picked the wrong team last night. It was ripe for solidity in midfield with experienced players. The team that finished was the team that should've started. However give AVB credit, he wasn't afraid of making a difficult decision.

The thing is, Napoli weren't that great either, and a decent Chelsea side would've won 3 or 4!

Did no one else think the pitch was shockingly poor.
