How do you view this result. It means you have to either win or get a draw bigger than 2-2. I think Valencia are favourites

David Silva scored against Chelsea, because David got the £20 worth of silver that was swindled off me by 666 hairdressers.
Britain’s poorest woman was charged a fortune at a hairdressers. One hairdresser was overhead saying that the £95 I was charged should really have been £75. That £20 forgery was for those 666 swindling hairdressers, to give David the £20 that my mother had kindly given me towards my perm. Whilst washing off the chemical perm from my hair, I was snuffed out by psychopaths with voodoo link, whilst one of the hairdressers pushed my chin into the washbasin.
Also on 3rd April 2007. Hong Kong's richest woman, Nina Wang, has died from an unspecified illness, on Tuesday. Wang, 69, was thrust into the limelight after being accused of forging her late husband's will, in order to inherit his fortune. Wang later won an eight-year battle to clear her name, and was given control of the multinational corporation Chinachem. Wang was Asia's 35th richest person, with a fortune of $4.2 billion, according to Forbes magazine. Wang first became a household name when her businessman husband Teddy was kidnapped, 15 years ago, and was never seen again so presumed dead. Nina’s husband’s estate was valued at around $5 billion. Nina, his widow, and his father each presented a very different version of his will. The one Nina Wang had, which was handwritten, left his fortune to her. Yet the elder Mr Wang insisted his was the authentic will which proved that he was the rightful heir. After a civil case against his daughter-in-law, accusing her of forgery, in 2005, after an eight-year court battle, she won the fight to clear her name and keep the money. Each twist and turn of the high-profile court case dominated Hong Kong's front pages and gossip columns. Wang also attracted attention because of her pony tailed hair.

I believe that this game is still very open. It has been seen that both sides can score goals (with a bit more luck, Chelsea could have added a second and third in the second half). Valencia are an excellent side yet I still believe that Mourinho's tactics will shine through in the second leg.

Plus a great goal from Silva, yet Drobga scores again. In my opinion, Drogba is the new Henry and this has been shown with his ability on the pitch time and time again. Valencia will have to mark Drogba very carefully in the second leg if they are anxious not to concede a goal against Chelsea.

I think it's clear that Valencia are slight favourites, but i still back us (chelsea) to go through. As many people have said, even if they score, we have to score at least once anyway. I expect us to pull through and reach the semis. Bring on the scowsers!!!

I think yesterday's march has Chelsea written all over it. While I commend the strong strike from David (that was one of the two good chances they had yesterday) that earned them the goal, I think the game was controlled firmly by chelsea. I am not particularly happy with Drogba's first half 'to the gallery' performance. He could have sealed the game from the first half. But he came out strongly in the 2nd half. Im also not impressed with Shawn. His skills surpases his wits on the ball. But the Chelsea team I saw yesterday would beat Valencia at home. The pressure is now on them. We have handled ours quite well, lets hope they wont

I missed the last 15 mins, how did joe cole look? good to have him back...

--------------------------

coley looked alrite actually. Didn't get enough of the ball so he could make an impact, but he looked quite fit and was putting in the effort. Give him half a game on saturday and he should be ready to make a big impact on the 2nd leg. Should have brought him on earlier in my opinion though, and not for Mikel!

A nearly same example would be the FA cup when everyone wrote-off Chelsea and picked THFC to win after a draw at SB? And, guess what happened? we're in the semis in the FA. This to me can be same on that we're in the CL. And, don't get me wrong Valencia are great team, but we can beat them at the mestalla! Now I think the pressure is on them, because we have to attack for us to survive!

To me Chelsea played their best,but Jose Mourinho made everything difficult with the changes he made,because Joe Cole and Wright phillip couldn't contribute positively to the Match.My Believe Chelsea is winning the Second leg in Spain.

looking at the game carefully its clear that while velencia are a good team Chelsea controlled the game - valencia troubled cech about 3 times but chelsea had a hatfull of chances. They also got a lot of milage from diagonal balls to drogba and they got behind the fullbacks a lot - valencia break fast and eat up a lot of time in the other teams box but they lack a real threat - villa's goal was a wonder goal and when he hit it he had no where to go - cech won't be beaten like that too often - - also after the chelsea goal last night chelsea were pushing hard and a series of fake injuries and substitutions slowed them down - they need to make sure that the pace of the game is at a high tempo when they're on top - i think chelsea will come out on top for the second leg - i'm more concerned with Man U because unlike chelsea or liverpool they still don't seem to have a plan for europe and they can get caught by cunning teams.

Chelsea have not really progressed under Mourinho and yesterday was another proof. Players making wrong decisions at crucial points. Drogba blasted the ball into the sky when all he had to do was lay it to Lampard. Next it's Lampard's turn. Sheva was clearly in a goalscoring position, yet Lampard attempted an impossible shot at goal.

It's been like this all season no matter who we play. Those of you who are threatening to commit suicide if Jose leaves better prepare your wills.

As a Chelsea fan I have had enough of it.
