Living in the past? Nah.

What do you mean? He's played a bit this season, shown loads of quality but has had a few costly lapses, which is to be expected in a young defender coming straight from South America. His goal against QPR hasn't had anywhere near enough press/praise.

If chelsea win the champions league, does that mean Everton or Fulham (depending on who finishes higher) will be in the europa league next season, given that Liverpool qualify through Carling cup and the 2 FA cup finalists have already qualified for Europe, or does it go to the runners up of the carling cup?

I don't think so. If Chelsea win the Champions League but outside of the top 4, as is likely, it means they take the CL place off the 4th placed team doesn't it? So 4th will be a Europa League place rather than CL Qualifying Round place.

What happens if Chelsea don't win the CL? Will they be able to attract the manager they want or will it mean RDM will be given the job for a year to get them into the CL before RA fires him?

On the CL final, I've got a very sneaky feeling that Chelsea might just surprise Bayern. There's a considerable amount of veteran talent in Chelsea's line-up that may think it's their last throw of the dice (for some it will be) for a CL final. Whatever benefit Bayern have, in terms of motivation, from being the home team is negated I think by this personal motivation of that final swansong. Whether you like the team or not there are a number of players within the Chelsea team that I'd like to see walk away with a CL winners medal. Yeah, a couple of them are deplorable human beings but most aren't and after the way some of them have performed for the past decade perhaps this would be a fitting end to some illustrious careers.

I think the CL Final has penalties written all over it. And you don't want to be in that position if you are Chelsea really.

Bayern will own the cl final as it is home ground and Chelsea missing 2 or more very important players.

I think too much is being made of the home advantage. Bayern will never have played in their own ground with 20,000 away fans and a load of neutrals. It will be a very strange experience for them.

They share their ground, so they have played there as the away team.
