That was ****ing awful to watch, all that talent and you don't even try and win a game?

I just don't get it like, thought Mourinho was some kind of master? Away goals count double, if Atleti get one, based on that, you are ****ed.

What gives?

Barcelona play beautiful football. They have players like lionel Messi who facilitate a brilliant style of play. They're so dedicated to that style that they don't have a plan B they just keep on attacking and keeping hold of the ball.

Barcelona got mauled by the team we just nullified not once not twice but four times this season. As have every team that went toe to toe with atletico as they are a brilliant football team. So I'll take a 0-0 draw away in a Cl semi final thanks, could be a lot worse as barca will tell you.
 
After the great balls up on Saturday , I'm a good deal happier tonight! We have a serious chance of making the final!
 
It's all about getting the job done and Chelsea are half way there. No one will be bothered about a "boring" semi final leg if you get through

It was fairly enbarressing to watch. Chelsea with every man in there half, faking injuries and slowing the game down with niggly fouls. Atletico should have taken one of there many half chances though. Raul Garcia in particular had a fair few decent chances with his head:biggrin:

2 of our players went off injured!! <doh>

As for faking injury, found it hilarious that Simeone of all people was getting wound up by that. Beckham anyone?!?!?

Remember when Luiz's face was really hurt by someone going shoulder to shoulder with him... Just imagine if Suarez spent two-three minutes on the ground holding his face.

I actually went into the match not minding if Chelsea won - representing the league and all.

But with your tactics... I think you might be embarrassing the league more than anything. If you win next week you'll say it's justified... but imagine what the Germans, Spanish etc think watching the Harrod's version of Stoke last night. Christ it was awful.

Shoulder to shoulder, really?

The DR says said:
Is Ivanovic playing Sunday? Was he injured or suspended last night?

Suspended last night DR. Judging by Jose's comments he won't play against you though.
 
Okay thanks Drogs


I'll be pleased if he doesnt to be honest, good player and can get you a goal as well as being a good defender
 
I'd be surprised if any of Jose's team will play if he has them earmarked for next Wednesday. I think the team will include the likes of;

Blackman
Tika Musonda
Tomá&#353; Kalas
Obi Mikel
Lampard
Salah
Clifford
Baker
Swift
etc
 
Salah Mikel Matic Lampard Shurrle
Ba

Think the midfield/striker will be something like this. Defence is anyones guess. I suspect he'll play Cole and at least one recognised centre back. Maybe Cahill. Schwarzer may play as well due to lack of games but risky. If he gets injured....
 
How can Mourinho have a go at West Ham and Big Sam for apparently playing 19th century football and spoiling the game for everyone? When his team then set up that way in a big European semi final, that half the world are likely to be watching.

The man really has become a laughing stock. Every game Chelsea don't do well in he comes out attacking the referee, or blaming the opponents style of play. He even had the cheek to try to patronise Paul Lambert earlier in the season, when he had a go about a few dubious decisions that went Chelsea's way.

I don't think there is a bigger hypocrite in world sport than Mourinho, his antics really have become embarrassing :biggrin:

Think the difference is, is that West Ham play that way most weeks. Jose played like that in a European semi final to try and get a positive result to take back to the bridge. Which worked. Is that what annoys you? ;) Moyes tried and failed doing similar v Bayern and you entered the tournament as English Champions - now that's embarrassing.

Jose doesn't give a **** who is watching, he gets results for his club. If you don't enjoy it, don't watch.

He isn't the first and certainly won't be the last manager to make a hypocritical statement here or there.

King Matth the II is just upset that yet another of his predictions: we'd lose at least 2-0, 3-0 did not transpire again.

According to the bookies you are the least likely to win the CL which I think is harsh. I'd put you 2nd just behind Real.

Bayern are **** and their odds must be based on last year and their complete farce of a league.

Told you Bayern are ****

Yeah cause losing 1-0 in the Bernabeu makes you ****<doh>

Real are unbeaten in there last 17 at home in Europe, winning 15 and drawing 2. So a very tall order for anyone going there. The tie is still in the balance for the 2nd leg, Real May have a slight advantage , but on there home ground Bayern can really turn it on. Will be a great 2nd leg :biggrin:
