Come on PNP....we've (mostly) all said it was **** luck for you on Sunday for the second...and 2009 was more of a farce for us than Sunday was for you, and listen to all the griping that's going on<ok>

And the handball by Drogba for your goal at WHL this season and both of your goals at Stamford Bridge last season and...

I can remember three instances of goals being given when the ball's clearly not over the line. All three have involved Chelsea.
The first was Liverpool's winner in the CL, which was cleared before it crossed. Both of the other two were against us and for Chelsea in the past two seasons.
Gallas was on the receiving end of all three, bizarrely.

Another naive comment. Does nobody understand that our intention was to let them have the ball? Everyone seems to forget Drogba had two chances to score at the start of the game too.

We will more than likely lose next week, but we won last night. Get over it.

Yep understood perfectly...without your explanation...what a way to go about a football match is all I'm saying. <ok>

Get over what?....the underdogs got a lucky win, fair play, I suggest you get over the negative comments your negative performance attracts...what do you expect?

I see what you're saying<ok>

What about Pedro mendes for the reverse of what you're describing?

I really don't see how SW6, yes you had penalty decisions go against you, but thats all, penalties can still be missed. Our farce was that the ref changed the scoreline by giving a goal. <ok>

But it's the only way to play against them, they're arguably the best footballing/passing side to grace the planet. Real Madrid follow shortly behind and they can't even outplay them! I hate people who criticise the way Stoke etc play, football is a game of many tactics and the objective is to beat your opponent at any cost. We shouldn't have this unwritten rule that we MUST play beautifully, you sound like gooners ffs <laugh>.

I wasn't having a pop notso, I'm just saying you can say all the negative things you want about our performance last night but it won't change the fact we BEAT the best team on the planet 1-0 <cool>.
 
Its a never ending debate Drogs, we both know that, and no-one's right or wrong, but for the record and my personal opinion, the game as I know it is called 'football', not 'prevent football'. :)

Yes you did beat them...I think Burnley beat United a couple of seasons ago! :D

Burnley actually came out to play - which is what got them relegated at the end of the day (ditto Blackpool last season)
 
Luke

Top 2 still makes the point over getting relegated, but thanks for the correction...****er! :D

To doubly make the point, you changed your game to contain Barca in a Final...and that went well!

To the contrary, Smart, SAF placed too much faith in our own game. We played 4-4-2 with SAF thinking that our high tempo play when in possession would disrupt Barca. Having Valencia, Rooney and Hernandez springing at them quickly on the break was meant to press them back and discourage Alves and Abidal from coming forward. It just served to give them the freedom of the midfield third. To Chelsea's credit, they denied them time and space last night. With Messi in imperious form, we should have played to contain them too. Hernandez was a spectactor- an extra man in midfield was needed.

JH was isolated...because Rooney dropped into MF and made no difference, maybe you forgot that. <ok>
 
I don't actually have a problem with teams playing in a different style to what most people think is the correct one.
It's one of the things that makes the sport and our league in particular interesting.

I'm glad that I don't have to watch negative, dour, defensive anti-football every week, but I can understand why people do it, especially when they don't use it all the time.
Stoke and Sunderland came in for a lot of abuse from our fans this season, somewhat understandably, but both our their managers adapt their systems to face different opposition.
Why come out and play our game and get battered all over the place, like Liverpool did at WHL, for example?
It might be a nice long term goal and something to work towards, but that's no use if you get the sack after half a season.

Teams like Swansea deserve all of the plaudits that they're receiving, as they're doing a fantastic job in incredibly difficult circumstances.
I can fully understand it when teams chose to walk a different path, though.
A club like West Ham have no excuse this season, however. All that money, a highly experienced manager and they're still hoofing it every week, while ultimately failing.
 
A Gooner supporting mate of mine noticed something - when Arsenal had a 1-0 first leg lead, the pundits and columnists all said they had no chanceand would get battered. When Chelsea have a 1-0 first leg lead, the pundits and columnists say they've got one foot in the final (as opposed to permanently embedded in someone's shinpads, or rolling on the floor with the rest of them...)
 
I wish that all these in-game betting touts would post odds on such things as "how many times Drogba will hit the floor like he's been shot?" and "how many Oscars Young will win for his next starring role?"

That would, at least, make the theatrics of these pansies a bit more entertaining.

"What are the odds in play, Ray?"
"It's all about the next dive, the number of rolls, will he flash a phantom card? Hold on, the odds on Drogba's next screaming flop are on your screen naaaaah..."

Ta, Spurf. <ok>
 
"You're the Daddy, Ray!"
"Nah, you're the Daddy, Ray... 'old on! Who's the Mummy?"
"Well, the odds in play reckon that it's 4-to-1 that Carroll will be the Mummy by the final whistle."
