Gotta say I wanted to support barca but whilst watching I cant find myself not supporting chelsea. Say what you want about drogba but he sure isnt boring to watch! Messi gives it away for the goal too in a bad area didnt he?
I don't support Chelsea, just English and proud and will always support a English team over some Spanish tarts regardless of the fact one player likes to go to ground easy, his only copying what barca do anyway.
Well I generally dont mind in europe but I tend to root against spuds, man utd and liverpool on principle. Chelsea I generally dont mind as much now. Tonight I wanted to support barca but couldnt so.... come on drogs
The commentators are all joking about his antics and accepting it but if it was Messi doing that, it would be completely different.
I am so happy so far won a bit already, I had a small bet on Drogba to score first and also a bet on you to be 1-0 up at half time.
O come on. Messi is the ultime media darling even here (and not without reason). Now if it was an arsenal player.....
Have you ever thought was Drogba does may well be for a tactical reason? Waste time, relieve the pressure, break up Barca's momentum, especially if they're having a good spell. I'm not condoning his theatrics but if they're not to get a fellow professional sent off, then against this team, I'm all for it.
John, from Watford, via text: "Drogba's been fantastic today, playing Barcelona at their own game. All his theatrics have broken up play and prevented Barca building any momentum. Not a bad goal too..." Think this guy has it spot on
You admit he playacts for a cynical reason, state you dont condone it, then end up condoning it. Hmmmmm
I know we've rode our luck...............but it's about fuggin time we had some against these cheating bar-stewards..........
Seriously have you not watched barca much? This is what they do in the 5 games a year they have trouble with.
If I was RDM...Mereiles off, Torres on and playing right...Ramires into Midfield and Mata left... Mereiles has been awful, Ramires would do better in there. That's what I'd do anyway!
