The Betfair forum's Champions League tips
Can anyone stop Barcelona? Are Chelsea as good as their odds suggest? Is Didier Drogba no longer one of the best strikers in Europe? Here's what the posters on the Betfair football forum reckon...
"Barcelona to win the Champions League is [2.38], which means you can afford to back a long shot, and recoup your bet if the favourites (Barca) take care of business. Personally, I backed Inter at [13.5] and Barca at [2.38]. If Inter win, I nail it. If Barca win, I don't lose anything." - TheNine
"Without Messi, Barca are pretty toothless so his fitness is all important. If Messi stays fit then Barca will reach the final ([1.65]), there can be no doubt they can beat any of the remaining seven sides over two legs. As for winning the final, that is a different matter. It is perfectly possible for a side to shock Barca and beat them over a single leg." - NobbyClarke
"I just watched the 'highlights' from the Chelsea game. One dimensional b******* played and that was from the highlights reel! No finishing product whatsoever. Lucky they were playing such a low standard team. The crowd were utter s****, no passion, no pride, just couldn't hear them. Next round exit is a nap ([2.38])." - LeoOnAHigh
"Of the three English teams left in the Champons League, who do you think has the best chance of beating Barcelona? I think Chelsea ([7.6] to go all the way). I think they are stronger and better defensively than the other two. I worry that Manchester United will get ripped apart by Barcelona and Fabio will be exposed." - EL-CAMPEON15
"I know all strikers go through a bad patch, but Didier Drogba looked like Thierry Henry for the New York Red Bulls against FC Copenhagen. Is he finished?" - Funky Iguana
