Liverpool or Chelsea?

[James]

Champions league, semi-final, reds or blues - not a tricky question

Ironically the title of the poll question was about right "Chelsea might just scrape through"

Chelsea didn't deserve a draw, that's my opinion. I was halfway out of the door in extra time - something made me wait until the final whistle - I wish I hadn't

I still think that Liverpool have the upper hand, even though they are down according to the away goal. I'll take an early punt at 2-0 Reds at Stamford Bridge

OK, I'm extending the timid handshake of congratulations. Despite Sammy Hyypia having a DEFINATE penalty disallowed in extra time - Chelsea played well and on merit deserved the win - putting their foot down at the right time.

Of course there's the issue of whether the final should be held in Moscow, with 2 British clubs in the final it would be globally eco-unfriendly to expect fans of both clubs to travel to Moscow - the carbon emmisions would be through the roof!, and besides, do we really want to see Abramovich realise a dream of winning in Mocow when he couldn't be bothered to attend his own clubs semi-final game?

I'll have to cheer for Man U, hopefully they'll have a fully fit and ready squad.
