Chelsea vs. Liverpool

[Biffo]

I suppose it's Chelsea playing without Terry that offers hope.

Yeah and Mascherano back in for Liverpool. Their best hope is to win 3-1 and go to extra time. It ain't gonna happen.

26% of Urbanites think Liverpool will go through. Crazy people

Yes, but there's not an option for "I don't know whether or not Chelsea will win on the night, but they'll almost certainly go through". Having to pick a given result skews the figures.

Spawnerpool have done it so often that it wouldn't really shock anyone

Er... I think it would. To my knowledge Chelsea have lost 3 times at home in over 4 years. Once on pens, once 2-1 and once 1-0.

To get through Liverpool have to win buy at least 2 goals - 3-1 = extra time; 4-2 or more = through on away goals. Should either of these scenarios happen I can't see it as being lucky. By 'Spawnerpool' I'm guessing that you think scoring late on is lucky as opposed to tenacious. You're not still bleating on about the 2006 FA Cup Final are you - when West Ham scored two genuinely spawny goals

Current odss on Betfair on which team will go through (with over £1million matched):

Chelsea: 0.5/10
Liverpool 14/1

The 14/1 probably understates the odds considerably, but the bookies don't want to lose a stack of money to optimistic Liverpool fans (and they know that hardly anybody is going to place a bet at 1/20).

It's not a bookies, it's the trading/matched market (meaning no overround, the odds total almost exactly 100%) - currently almost £2million with, at decimal odds Chelsea at 1.07.

It's the market odds without the bookies built in profit.

Ah OK, I stand corrected.

I still believe in a reds miracle

 

[Badgers]

Gerrard out is not a great start for LFC I feel.
Although Terry offsets this loss slightly I still think that is possibly a nail in the coffin of my betting forecasts!

 

[sleaterkinney]

I don't think we have a chance of going through. Gerrard out as well.

 

[Balbi]

Classic humour from Chelsea... 'sign on, sign on...' 'where's your giro gone'....

 

[Upchuck]

Ggggggggggooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllllllllll

 

[Badgers]

Hmmmm....

Goal is good news for the reds but they don't look all there yet.
That said nor do Chelsea so far.
Nerves?

 

[Badgers]

[paulhackett]

Why's Cech wearing 2 black armbands?

 

[Upchuck]

Up yours John Terry

 

[revol68]

dunno how i feel about this, liverpool out of the CL lets them focus on the league but still would like to see them out.

Are they still singing that one?



Heart's in mouth..

 

[Balbi]

Yeah rev, but watching Chelsea get a good fucking is amusing regardless of allegiance

 

[Badgers]

Good dive
7/10

I suggest you open your eyes, even Jim 'oooh my ankle' Beglin thinks you're wrong.
