This is it - the time of the season we've all been waiting for! It gives me goose-bumps just thinking about it! Hopefully this time tomorrow I'll still have a smile on my face, as we build up to the biggest game of the season so far, against Barcelona! Come on you Blues!

This is what I pay my season ticket money for - to put me in with a shot of getting an away ticket for Chelsea. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy it when we beat the lower league teams by masssive scores, and have even been known to have been entertained by a resilient Middlesbrough team who have come just a point in mind, but all of those games pale into insignificance when compared to the Champions League semi-finals.

Realistically, it is the only major piece of silverwear we'll take home this season (yes I know we'll win the FA Cup but if I'd have said at the start of the season that that was one of our main targets you would have laughed at me!) It is the fact that we have been so inconsistent in the league that has meant that this whole season rests on two games - or possibly even one game given that Barcelona destroyed all Bayern Munich's hopes of moving through to the next round in just 90 minutes!

Sitting on the computer here in Barca, reading all the hype on the BBC, SkySports, in the papers, just makes me want the game to come faster!

I'll be sat in my seat early, ready to wave my flag, and know that the adrenalin will start pumping well before the whistle blows for the start of the match. It might be torture to sit through, hell almost when the team are playing badly and failing to string two passes together, but it all fits in to place when Drogba hits the back of the net!

I think tonight will be a cagey game, possibly a 1-1, ready for fireworks next week. Here goes nothing...!
