The last few months? Nonsense...what evidence do you have for this?
Show pony was a bit harsh, but he's doing a lot of unnecessary flicks lately. He's already gave away the ball twice trying something flash.

Still want a 3rd goal, then the Chelsea fireworks will reach 'Battle of Stamford Bridge' status

They're almost reaching Juve levels. So frustrating as a football fan. Maybe Dele is the one that's got it right after all.

In the champions league you have to chuck yourselves on the floor and try to con the ref as all the other teams do it. Hate to see our players doing it but it’s a fact.

Utter bollocks from Hoddle regarding Girouds elbow. He knew exactly what he was doing imo.
Take those Chelski glasses off Glen.
That said I'm glad Barca got one in the face. Diving at every challenge, surrounding ref and moaning at every decision. Should warn them, then book them. It'd soon stop.

The BBC are commentating on the game as though we're all Chelsea fans and are desperately willing Chelsea on. No idea why. Chelsea have one English player and he's on the bench. They're owned by a Russian. Chelsea as a club are hated by every football fan bar Chelsea ones and we're all hoping they get knocked even if the BBC aren't.

The dark art that proper gets on my tits is the intentional bringing down of a player to break up a counter attack when there's absolutely no attempt to try and win the ball. It should be a red imo.
It's blatant cheating. Not 'taking one for the team,' a 'proffessional foul,' 'a bit cynical' or 'clever'.
Its blatant cheating and spoils the game.
All the good teams including us do it but I'd like to see it stamped out.
So there lol.

Sir Alex, no less said they never did well in CL until they learnt to cheat!

It's the same with the Irish commentary team here, really getting on my tits.

Arsenal did it in all their recent glory years too.

Sky glossed it all over while reasonably honest teams like us took it up the arse.

I'd have loved to have seen us pit our wits against this Barca team as I reckon we'd have caused them no end of problems.
