Well I just laid man City against PSG as they were a country mile too short and for the CL as a whole. RM at 4s (sorry I talk in old money out of habit) is the standout win odds to win big ears who should be no worse than 3s with 11/4 being right. Too many over reactions in the market but Chelsea seem about right to me.
A lot of talk about Mbappes fitness but this tie will be on a knife edge with or without him. Been rumours flying around PSG that Pochs tactics have not fitted in overly well and they still don't lead ligue 1 and this is affecting the market IMO. I will be surprised if city cruise this even if they get through. At this stage of the tournament its what happens on the day.
Think Pep will go with a similar line up that he went with against BD but they have been missing a bag load of chances recently

I hope Chelsea win it. The PSG fan boys in the media gave Tuchel a hard time, unfairly saying he was tactically inept in Europe so what better way to prove them wrong that to beat PSG in the final.
City are massively overrated in the Champions League and If PSG play like they did against Bayern I'd fancy them to beat them.

Chelsea have every chance... Theres just no value in the price. Yes they did give him a hard time but he took them to the final and that's something nobody else did. PSG were very strong against BM but my money on the champions as much as it pains me to say it is Real again... God I hope not. I can't stand that club but they are the standout value at 4/1
The entire market is being warped by city and punters betting on the treble and quadruple. I recall Liverpools odds being woeful in 2001 when they were chasing a cup treble... Although they won all 3 under Houllier

Being a Liverpool fan there's no 'good' outcome
Better the devil you know though so I'd prefer Chelsea or Real over City or PSG
Not much difference but it's just the devil I know, nobody really cares about French farmers league.
Selfish reasons mostly, don't want Chelsea to be an even more attractive destination for players, that's exactly how they lucked into getting Hazard in the first place, they've already been hoarding too many wonderkids these past few windows.

That's logical. Although IMO I don't think a CL win would change the dynamic much
Abramovich insisted on them using the term "wunderkind" in the discussions with Tuchel so he took the job

I've changed my mind! I've just been reminded that today is the 7th anniversary of Gerrard's slip so come on Real Madrid!

I didn't know that but I do recall that run in clearly. Mourinho did a number on Rodgers that day and liverpool played poorly. Even without the slip it's goalless but the real killer was losing the three goal lead at Palace. If they drew the Chelsea game 0-0 they would have been just over 10m from the title leading Palace 3-0.Trader Pat wrote: ↑Tue Apr 27, 2021 3:51 pmI've changed my mind!

A 3-0 lead and three goals in quick succession... Haven't we seen that somewhere before Kai/Pat
