OK, Bobby.

Oh dear the idiots are home from work/school. Poor sad Blobby doesn't know a lot about footie.

Respect to you guys. You gave us a very tough fight, but were very unlucky in the end. It could have gone any way. Hats off for you guys, we had to give everything last night and I am happy that it was enough to win the CL

 

[thelordspawn]

Don't waste your breath bybuti. Anyone who knows anything about football knows what happened last night. Man U won because of a slip on the wet grass and for no other reason, and everyone knows that.

Over 120 minutes the match could not be decided by football. Penalty shoot outs are a lottery and are not an indication of a teams worth.

....and for those that are interested in match statistics (which I am not), have a look at the shots on goal ratios, and then tell me who played the attacking football and who played more defensive football. Wow....surprise surprise.

Damn I promised myself I wouldn't get involved with the morons on here over this.

i've played footy for 16+ years chelski's goal was a fluke. Ferdinand kicked the ball bounced off your player bounced off another of your players and right perfect to lampard 1 in a billion deflection. and you went and scored. you know it was lucky and don't deny it.

if there goal was good then i'd give them props but it wasn't. we should've been beating chelski 3/4-0 at end of first half but peter cech (and a couple times john terry) saved there asses and the only reason you were close in the match.

despite there luck they still played really well (other than the diving and cheating i.e when joe cole got "injured" near our box and he's just sitting there on the ground no pain bitching and crying while we dominated the possession in the other half of the field and we had the decency to kick the ball out for them then joe cole gets up 2 seconds later. then when they gave the ball back they kicked it all the way back to the goalie. instead of the midfield where we had the ball in the first place. like the cheapass cheaters they are but still cool)

Chelsea played well and the game could've gone either way but the better and more deserving team won. you guys definetly earned my respect. you played really well.

oh you had alot more shots but we had more on target thats the main difference.
most of your shots were random retarded shots.

I saw a picture of you in the FIFA forum. This is a lie. And your credibility is gone.

Man, I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. I hear people's opinions about you all the time, but I thought nope, give the guy a break, and maybe he will smarten up soon. I was wrong and they were right. You are indeed a complete wanker who knows nothing about the game at all.

Do you know how many goals Lampard has scored from almost the very same spot that he scored from last night? ...and you call it a one in a billion chance. That shows how little you follow the EPL.

OH, and according to the Opta stats, Chelsea not only had more shots on goal than Man U, but we had MORE shots on target too. Man U had 3 shots at goal during the entire game mate. Get your facts right before opening that mouth of yours.

We dominated you entirely after the first 30 minutes. Also the reason that Man U were not 3 or 4 goals up before half time had nothing to do with Chelsea luck. It was down to some fantastic defending. If you knew anything about the game of football, you would know that.

Then there's the Ferdinand kung fu kick at Joe Cole's head that was ignored by the ref. Or maybe you conveniantly missed that. Or Evra's intentional elbow in Coles face OFF the ball. Or how about Vidic almost tearing Drogba's tongue out in their first challenge together. Ferdinand pushing Malouda over in the penalty box? Is Rooney not a foul tempered thug?

Man U have some of the most petulant and nasty players in the league. Thats fine. We can hold our own against any other teams bully boys, but what gets me is that the Man U players love to dish it out but they can't take it back.

I've been a player and then a coach for over 40 years pal, and there is nothing that you can tell me about the game of football, or the people that play it. 16 years ? Don't make me laugh.

That's the body of a soccer player right there. Ronaldo might get the magazine covers now, but he better watch his back because you're coming for him. Nick's depth of experience on the pitch in high pressure situations at a high level uniquely qualifies him to weigh in. Careful what you post on the internet Nick, it's public, and it's archived.

*sigh*

Let's see what they say about what'll happen over the summer. Hopefully on the other end, Ferguson will retire and Ronaldo will end up in Spain but probably not. It'd take an injection of better team chemistry, more luck, and less referee induced yellow/red cards for next year.

I watched the game with a buddy of mine with whom I often play PES, and we commented how Čech is the only goalie out there who actually parries those balls like it's Pro Evolution Soccer, and not real life. What a fantastic goalkeeper, in my opinion second only to Casillas.

I still think his reflexes in PKs is too slow but other than that he's amazing.

How the **** is it possible that there are more Barcelona fans who bash Manchester United and getting all upset about the result than Chelsea fans themselves ? This is ******* unbelievable... Still bitter about your semi final defeat eh ? Still bitter with the fact that Brown ass raped your so called Messiah one on one ?

You Catalan non-Spanish speaking elite ****heads used to hate this blue colored London club with a passion ! Especially when Mourinho was around !

The **** is wrong with you bitches bitching all the time... At least acknowledge that you were defeated by the champions in the semi, yeah write that down in your stupid history book : "2008 : Defeated by Manchester United in the semi of the ECL", perhaps it will give some gold letters on your miserable 2008 season. Bunch of stupid assholes you are....




And oh Petey, remember our little bet ?

Haha, just kidding mate, no ******* way I'm gonna rub you like that. I've known you for what ? 5 years ? Back from the day we made FIFA kits, and there is no way I'm gonna do that to you. Great ******* fight from your club Pete, I enjoyed every moment of it, hopefully we can tearing down the house again next year. It was a match filled with divine intervention, last night heavens wanted us to win it I guess....

Just a response to Pete's post.

1.) Lampard was lucky to get the ball, but he was in the right place at the right time and produced a goal on the highest level. If you don't have a ticket you can't win the raffle. It's hardly Lampard or Chelsea's fault that the ball fell to them.

2.) Chelsea had more shots yes, although I do believe we reduced you to long range efforts. The Lampard effort off the bar was a half chance, created by sheer brilliance. Drogba's effort was also well hit and if he was a yard or 2 further back it might have gone in. Other than that everything was skied.

3.) Man Utd dominated the 1st half until you scored the goal. Chelsea didn't threaten much until then. Second half was dominated by Chelsea, with Utd with the odd counter attack. Extra time IMO was 50-50.

4.) Vidic tearing Drogba's tongue out is a bit of an over reaction in fairness. Evra was a little heavy handed with Cole, and on another day could have gone. Malouda tripped over himself. No doubt about that, watch it back. Ferdinand was lucky with his spinning kick, but no ref was going to give that and he played advantage. Again, on another night, Makelele might have had an early bath with his constant badgering of the referee. Also Carvalho's tackle on his Portugal team-mate Ronaldo wsa awful.

5.) Drogba deserved to go. John Terry got involved stupidly with Tevez. Chelsea kicked the ball out of play twice for Utd, Utd did it once back and Terry went over, and Ballack pushed Tevez. Drogba thought he was hard enough to take Vidic and quite frankly he was lucky Vidic was restrained. Chelsea will be better off without him, a liability IMO. John Terry also appeared to snort snot onto Tevez's back.

Anyway, in conclusion, the match was even. The linesman missed at least 3 corners for Chelsea and saw 1 non-existent for Utd. The ref failed to see various fouls for both teams. Penaltys are a lottery and Terry was unlucky. It could have been anyone slipping up there. That's my honest opinion. I think it's pretty fair and there is two sides to every story.

 

[treble41]

Why wasn't Schev in the pks? I'd rather have had him even if Belleti did score. Also Anelka has every right to complain about not being played in a central role, he's useless on the wing.

 

[pede54]

Sean I agree with it all mate, apart from the Terry snot thing. That disgusting rumour was started by the tabloid press, and now even you have a sig maintaining the lie., which is a little dissapointing coming from you. Terry called him a few choice names sure, but it was the string on the refs whistle that caused Tevez to put his hand to the back of his neck. John Terry simply would not spit at another player mate. He might be a hard man but that does not make him a scumbag. It never happened.

It reminds me of when a picture was published in the press claiming to show England fans giving a nazi salute. It turned out that the fans were simply shielding their eyes from the sun. Anyone can read what they want to read with an image like that.

Hans, thanks man. I was kinda hoping you might waiver the bet old mate.

It was indeed a great game for all of us involved. I enjoyed it all. Losing it aint exactly fun of course, but I'm too long in the tooth to get over upset about it. Our time will come that is clear. I've waited this long to win it, so I can sure wait a bit longer.

Cheers again man for not making me uphold my end of the deal.....
