Re: Napoli vs Chelsea

Serie A is shit and Italian football is finished, that's what we were told after beating Milan and Inter on aggregate. This will be a cakewalk for Chelsea

Did you see Napoli against us? They were well worthy of the 4 points they took.

it will be anything but a cakewalk, I think Chelsea will win over two legs though

I'm not 100% sure but I think the term is Clarkied?

It was a joke as many Chelsea fans (and other teams) did not see our triumphs over Italian teams as an achievement as they percieved Italian football to be dire. It won't be easy for them by any means

Ahh right. Probably a bit spurs-centric to be a true Clarkie but fair play.

It'll be interesting to see how Abramovich would react if Chelsea won the CL but finished outside the top 4 in the Prem.

I think Napoli will turn them over quite comfortably though; even though Napoli aren't not in their best form right now, Chelsea are in a real mess.

Considering the holders qualify I think he'd buy AVB an island.

I reckon Abramovich would take a bottom half finish if it meant they would win the Champs League, he is obsessed.

The trio of Lavezzi, Cavani and Hamsik will tear them a new one in Italy.

I can't see anything other than a comfortable win for Napoli.

Chelsea can't defend, and they can't score goals.

Re: Napoli vs Chelsea

Interesting to see Cavani doing so well.

(my apologies for making this about Spurs once again) but apparently we had the chance to sign him after the world cup, for about 15m or so, most Spurs fans had already made their decision based on watching 35 minutes of a world cup game where there were no real stand out performers but still turned their noses up and wanted better things. Cavani went on that season breaking records and we watched Defrouchencho + Keane flap about for an entire season costing us our champions league place....

This will be a very interesting game to watch, looking forward to it.

Chelsea's vast experience of playing in CL will see them through just as the rags experience will see them win the prem league. :-)

Napoli to win - 13/10

Seems a pretty solid bet given the way they performed against us and the fact that Chelsea are on their arse at the minute.

11/8 at Coral mate. I'm on it. What I find the easiest results to predict are in League 2, I'm on a fivefold with Napoli, Swindon, Cheltenham, Oxford and Southend. £5 stake, £135 return. Could do with a win.

Chelsea to win by a goal or lose 2-1. Think they'll beat them at home, so Chelsea to go through.
