Frank Lampard: excited. Possibly suffering from lockjaw.When flair and class descends on the Stamford Bridge grass, we must hope and pray it doesn't end in 0-0 again. After all, the other semi-final provided way more goals than I expected (sorry, Gooners), so it seems criminal and unfair that a match involving Barcelona, scorer of 156,413 goals this season (at least 91,673 of those provided by Lionel "God" Messi), should give us nil-nil over 90+ difficult Nou Camp minutes.
What say you, folks? How about more dumb reasons why either side might win?

WHY CHELSEA WILL WIN
- Lampard/Drogba in good form
- Far better at grinding out 1-0 wins than Barca
WHY BARCA WILL WIN
- Away goals, baby! Just need one
- They have a La Liga defense... nuff said

WHY CHELSEA WILL WIN
1. The French tandem of Anelka and Malouda [Ed. Note: He's totally kidding]
2. Abramovich and the Russian mafia want it that way
WHY BARCA WILL WIN
1. Titi, Messi and Eto'o are unstoppable up top
2. Pep Guardiola dresses nicer than Guus Hiddink

WHY CHELSEA WILL WIN
1. Full squad, in form, at home vs. Puyol and Marquez out.
2. Hiddink shut them down at the Nous Camp, this hasn't been done.
WHY BARCA WILL WIN
1. Barca remindes us in Madrid that they are the rampant side in Europe this season, the first leg aside.
2. Messi, Eto'o and Titty can't be held for 180 minutes, can they?

WHY BARCA WILL WIN
They'll probably get some room to operate as Chelsea can't play for a goalless draw again (unless they want to put their fate on EBJT's penalty-taking foot again)

dude, I wasn't kidding. I expect an apology if Anelka and/or Malouda score
3-1 chelsea.
Same. 3-1 Chelsea. The only reason I didn't participate above is because I had no plausible reason that Barcelona would win. I tried to come up with anything, but no.
1-1 Barca through on away goals
Looking at the lineups, why did Chelsea take Bosingwa off Messi in favor of Ashley Cole?
Isn't Titty out with a knee injury?
yup hes out
yaya toure at cb too
i'm assuming of course that soccernet remains a bastion on fact based reporting
Nobody's assuming that Platini has the match fixed? We all know how much he wants another all-England final.
UEFA's lineup says he's off.
