[Celtic]

Chelsea wins today 2-0, my prediction, Drogba scores twice.

No way Barca stays again "goalless"

One half down, still think so? Chelsea's defense has been excellent thus far.

Where has Messi been in these one and a half games?

[Celtic]

Wow Victor Valdes, hell of a save.

[Celtic]

Wow, Abidal sent off for next to nothing.

[Celtic]

wow

[Who]

Yeah, tough to lose like that.

Chelsea wasted a bunch of chances though. Their own fault.

I stand corrected, although they almost did go two complete games without scoring, Barca finally got one.

Unbelievable. Iniesta is world class. Messi has disappointed in this semi and last year's semi (I hope that doesn't come back to bite me).

Ballack could have gone for those protests, Terry should have at the end and Drogba should get a lengthy ban. Incredible.

Bring on Barca, May 27th, I can't wait!

Even though Barsa didn't play as they usually play and maybe Chelsea deserves to advance to the final, i am so happy for Barcelona. You can't expect a better final than ManU-Barca. Forca Barca!!

[Txusberg]

And now with the Barca in the final, all I need is a Celtic's victory against Orlando tonight to have an almost perfect day. Go Celtics!!

I can't say I'm shedding any tears about Chelsea missing the final.  I can't stand that team.

Roy, you should have seen their reaction. Their behaviour was pathetic, from their captain John Terry right the way through to Didier Drogba. Horrible team, horrible people. Inexcusable that is, no matter what the injustice.

PS. Here's your second of 10.

[Who]

Ballack could have gone for those protests

I think he would have gotten sent off if it was earlier in the match. Since it was so late in the game, I felt the referee decided to let him off.

Amen to that!

This, coming from someone who supports Christiano "the world diving champion" Ronaldo.  If they throw Ballack off, then they have to call the hand balls that Barca had as well.  They could have been playing 10 on 9.  Chaulk it up to some of the worst refereeing I've ever seen.

This was the year for Chelsea.  They are in a quandry for next year, no coach named yet (officially) and getting very old.  Should be an interesting offseason.  Maybe they can pull the FA Cup and at least walk away with something.
