Yea but he's yet another player who thinks his weaker foot is just for standing on.

Yes concurred, depends on if we get through, if Barcelona beat us then the thought of Liverpool in another final is an atrocious one, especially as, IMO, they'd beat Barcelona.

Haha yeah.
Thought the Dippers were marginally the better side, but I'm really thinking that Man United will trash them in the final, when we get there.

Barcelona are a shambles of a side at the moment. They've won 2 out of their last 8 in La Liga. They won't beat Man Utd without anything less than a miracle.

Much as I hate the Scousers, and much as I'd like to say they were ****, looking at it objectively I thought they were by far the better side... Chelsea really didn't create a chance (other than one arguably that was wasted by Lampard who should have hit it rather than ran it out), Scousers could have scored 2 or 3 IMO.
Anyway, now the Scousers have to score at the Bridge... tough ask... Chelsea favourites IMO.

They're concentrating solely on Europe though. United haven't played that well of late, have a poor semi-final record, and have bottled it a lot in recent years.
I think United are roughly 60/40 favourites now, given recent goings on, no formality though at all. The poor semi-final record, and our habit of losing them when we shouldn't, is playing on my mind.

Nice to know Frank Rijkaard logs onto Cricketweb every now and then.
Puyol is suspended for the 1st leg, Ronaldinho is in terrible form and has been skipping training, Henry and Messi have been plagued by injuries, Rijkaard's house was robbed a couple of days ago. Fans waved white hankerchiefs in protest as they drew 1-1 at home to Espanyol at the weekend. Schalke totally outplayed them in the quarter-final as well and probably would have deserved to at least have drawn at the Camp Nou.

All of this is true... I'm still not massively confident. Partly natural pessimism, partly because I've been confident ahead of semis before, only to be disappointed, our semi-final record is truly woeful.

Word is he isn't, it's just an excuse not to play him due to his missing of training.

Playoff secured, I see. Congrats.
Should have the playoff final in Penzance if Exeter and Torquay get to the final

General point, if anyone is looking for some good quality comedy, listen to Alan Green on 606 this evening, hilarious.

Admittedly the U's have failed to beat Exeter this year thus far, but...
