AVB = OMG. Absolute dross. When he left us we were 3-1 down to Napoli and going nowhere. Clueless, and the players knew it. He has now found his level. Enjoy!
No blind luck involved in THAT drogba header or THAT Ramieres chip (with a man down in the Nou Camp)!!! If your team had half our spirit and will you wouldn't have bottled 3rd!!
Aye, a semi final is a semi final. I'm not disputing the fact you got to the final, but if Bayern put away one of those sitters, we'd be having a different conversation wouldn't we?
"If Spurs won the Champions League by playing ''negative'' football, you would ejaculate all over your house. " Yeah, more or less, and then I'd wonder why I'm rooting for Spurs. Playing negative football as a base strategy, being the plaything of a kleptocrat, these things are fine for Chelsea and anyone who wants to support them. But they're not for me or most Spurs fans.
your probaby right Ammaar,but Chelsea were still lucky on the night,that Gomez had left his scoring boots at home,and for Chelsea to have to play like that proves they are not as good as thier fans think they are
I'm not sure we're really disagreeing at all. What I said is that, yes, if Tottenham parked the bus for an entire season and won the Prem (or the CL), my first reaction would be, great, we won. But I'd be disappointed in Spurs for playing like that for a long stretch (one or two games would be okay, if there was a good reason for it), and I wouldn't be all that satisfied in winning with no style. Most people would rather win at all costs. A decent number care enough about winning with style that they wouldn't really be happy doing it otherwise.
But we didn't play the same way for the entire tournament, we played to our strengths simply because Barca and Bayern are better teams, it's called logic - why would we set up in an attacking manner when it's 99% certain we'd get battered?
Ifs and buts. If Torres had the penalty decision just before Bayern were awarded theirs then there wouldn't have been extra time.
Not as good as we think we are but still good enough to do you lot 5-1 in a FA Cup semi final though.
