So Chelsea is out – You bet my flipping nails I care!
It's rare that I feel such indignation for another team but last night I somehow felt for Chelsea and that was long before I considered the two legged tie in its entirety.
Chelsea got exactly what they deserved, for two entire games they parked 10 men in and around their penalty area. It was like watching Stoke City against Liverpool in the FA Premier League. Surely we can do with better football at this level. Did they deserve to be in the final – for the only reason that they were the only opponents worth of a name to MANURE. Barca is a such a let-down to all footballers lovers that it is hard to fathom what sustains talk ‘of the best football club in the world’- that is for later though. Chelsea may have been on form but have zero class and you know what they say about form it is temporary (hoping to enjoy it over 180 minutes was stretching the luck a little too far). Should a side with only 33% possession really deserve to win? Hell no! Chelsea were not worth of a slot in the final of ECL.
But neither are their sloppy opponents Barca!! For all their worth going forward they are simply shocking at the back. The so called ‘best football team in the world’ could not manage a single shot on goal in 90 minutes. What a mind-blowing stupid performance players like Dani Alves put in? They say the definition of stupidity is trying the same thing again and again and expecting different results . . . every time he got the ball on the right you knew what was going to happen, and every time, it happened. I still read papers this morning applauding his performance, what do some sports scribes feed on? None of the Barca players can dare or attempt to take a shot outside 18 yards- the only time they did they scored – and you still call them the best players in the world? Can't believe the bookies have made Barcelona favourites to win the final! Talk of a great attacking final is absolutely misplaced. It won't be. Just look at the Semi last year between the two. Manures will sit back, soak up pressure and hope to catch them on the counter. Is there no law that can forbid such matches from taking place – why do we have to be treated to this dour performance in the name of a final?
As for the referee, he was truly awful, especially for Piqué’s decision and that disgraceful sending off of Abidal but that is bad as they come. To say that ‘it is the most surreally incompetent refereeing performance ever seen’ is being overboard. Chelski would want anybody who cares to listen believe that they were robbed, this could have happened to them on any other night with another referee. Talk of conspiracy and instructions to the referee to ensure that there is not another English final is absolute knackers.
Final word for Drogba. That lunatic is a disgrace, he is always trying to win free kicks and feigning injuries wasting crucial time on the turf. Of the 4 additional minutes, 3 were due to Drogba’s never ending antics – and do you know what the goal was scored in the 93rd minute - some poetic justice indeed. His clowning around came back to haunt him. Drogba does not deserve to reach a final, so while I have sympathy with a lot of Chelsea lads like Lamps and JT, I can't say I feel the same for him. He tries to get the referee to make so many wrong decisions in his favour in every game he plays, without feeling any trace of guilt. I hope he gets a lengthy ban in Europe and good riddance from the European stage for one of the worst examples of the modern player.
