The best of the Betfair football forum
Are Carlo Ancelotti's days numbered at Chelsea? Are Barcelona overrated? Should Joe Jordan have been punished for his part in the Gennaro Gattuso incidents? Here's what the posters on the Betfair football forum are saying...
"By the time of the second leg, Chelsea will have appointed a new interim manager who will lead them to Champions League glory ([7.8]). Might be Hiddink again. Might be a sentimental short-term appointment like Zola. Anyway, something will happen. Ancelotti will be sacked shortly if things don't dramatically improve. Abramovich wants this Champions League, especially when he'll see Barcelona soon to be knocked out. Why you think he paid £50 million for Torres? Chelsea will win the final at Wembley like they always do. They'll beat Spurs in the semis. Arsenal will get knocked out in the quarters by Mourinho's Madrid." - nonserviam89
"I think Barcelona, whilst still the best team in Spain and potentially in Europe, are still ridiculously overrated. I said Arsenal would scrape a win at the Emirates and people laughed at me. Why were people so surprised that a good team with a fantastic tactically astute manager won on their soil? I'm not trying to say Arsenal will win the tie but if they get hammered more than 2-0 ([7.0]), I will eat my hat." - ak247
"Wolves fan joining in the debate here. Both Wolves and the Baggies were shocking on Sunday. We`re gutted at yet another last minute goal killing us, but to be fair we didn't deserve anything better than a draw. From what I`ve seen, the Hammers have enough of a goal threat to earn enough points to stay up. WBA and us are powder puff in comparison. If the Hammers defence improves, I think they have a good chance to stay up. My three for the drop are Blackpool ([2.44]), and any two from Wolves ([1.98]), Wigan ([1.63]) and WBA ([2.48])." - Pounf
"Arsenal don't seem to be too fussed about playing replays this season. They treat the smaller teams like training games and rightly so! They have bigger things to worry about than a half-hearted performance against Leyton Orient. Would you rather see them hammer them 4-0 or 5-0 but pick up an unnecessary injury in time for the Barca away game? I don't think so. Look at the bigger picture." - simmy9122
"Why is nobody blaming Joe Jordan for that Gattuso incident? Clearly Gattuso was wrong to react but it seems blindingly obvious to me that Jordan provoked him and behaved totally inappropriately for a member of the coaching staff who should know better that to verbally abuse an opposition player." - holders
