I am sure the crowd will be up for it for the Barca game, and of course on Saturday, but their nerves will quickly show if we don't get an early goal. Then the players' nerves will also show - and then we could see all our nightmares come true. Call me the gloomy one now, but there is precedence for end of season collapses. And it is just too horrible to think about Chelsea getting the League and European double. I watched the Chelsea game in an Edinburgh pub. The handball was marginal - could have been ball to hand and many refs would have seen it that way, but the result just underlines how wrong Fergie got his selection policies. Surely Ronnie can play 3 big games in a week??? What I really didn't like to see was Chelsea looking fitter and stronger than us, just like last year's cup final.
