Everyone that I've talked to that I'm watching it with tomorrow has said they want Bayern to win. I'm gonna roll over there in my Drogba jersey all
Anyone seeing these reports that Bertrand will play on the left side in addition to Cole for a defensive bolstering on that side? Weird.
I'm not super confident that we're going to win but Bayern got their shit pushed in by Dortmund last weekend and looked absolutely awful. They're down nearly as men regulars as we are. Pretty much their only significant advantage is that it's in their stadium. And after what we did at Camp Nou, I don't think that's going to rattle us.
The crew i'm watching it with put 5 bucks on who scores, ordered from oldest to youngest in the order of claiming players. I'm second, the oldest being the dad of my English buddy at his house. I'm claiming Droggy I think, but I'm tempted to go with Lampard.
Saw through Chelsea In America there is a Georgia Blues club. Wish we had one here in SC, but then I remember I am a total asshole during matches so that might not be a good thing to show off in public.
I'm pretty sure that's the whole point. I'll educate you on pre-Abramovich Chelsea so you can be as justified as me.
I'd love to attend a Redknapp-Lampard family reunion. http://football.thestar.com.my/2012/05/19/lampard-ready-to-win-even-if-it-upsets-his-uncle/?
Wore my Chelsea track jacket to work today. Bayern fan in my office looks at me when I walk in and is pissed that he didn't think to wear his. So pumped for tomorrow.
Im still trying to understand this move to play bert at LW. I feel like the right is more trouble for us than the left
So many emotions right now. Gonna try to enjoy the Championship playoff but damn it's gonna be hard to stay focused.
Watching the Championship final before heading to the bar. Thought I'd share some decent links.

Checking in from London rocking the John Terry jersey. Arsenal fans said "fuck spurs go chelsea!". Lots of support around London. Headed down to the Bridge in an hour or so... will try to post pics.
so nervous, watching Blackpool-West Ham but thinking about the Champions League, Blue is the Colour is on repeat
