Chelsea v Barca 2nd Leg

[Coyboy]

Lucky goal? What a joker. Embarrassing comment.

Definitely penalty, two fouls and one before with Alves was close. So happy D Alves is missing the final if they get there, he is a shitbag. I can see Barca scoring, they are playing beautifully in front of Chelsea and Messi has the whole team in his pocket but Chelsea look dangerous and Barca are struggling to cope with Drogba, Malouda and Lampard is looking better than the first leg which may not be saying much. Essien is going to be crucial in the second half, he can run for England.

Come on the blues!!!

Why were the Barca players surrounding Øvrebø at half time? He denied Chelsea a penalty and didn't really do anything wrong that went against Barca.

They won a corner but he didn't let them take it. Barca have been rubbish so far.

 

[Marty]

Wow, big fucking deal.

 

[Coyboy]

I wouldn't say rubbish, but Chelsea have looked comfortable when the ball has gone into the box. It only takes one goal as the simpleton commentator keeps reminding us. Abolish away goals.

(not just saying that, have always think they distort and ruin games).

 

[Shanks]

Barca are lucky not to go in 3-0 down.
2 penalties, that should have been were denied, I have no idea how the first one wasn't given, the second, you can understand why it wasn't given, considering Drogba's reputation, but still a pen.

What a goal, unbelievable.

Second half should be fun, but I left pub to come home, as couldn't handle the idiots!!

Barca have had a lot of the ball but have really flattered to deceive. They need a goal (and in fact one would put them in pole position) yet they didn't test Cech at all. Chelsea haven't had a lot of the game but they could have had 3 or 4. It's been a very interesting game and the second half should be excellent. I would love Barca to get the next one to make it really interesting, but they have to actually shoot.

Emberrassing having to witness Chelsea pretending to play football. I didn't think it was possible but they dug their trenches even deeper at home.

To bad they got their strike at the start of the game when they got lost in the opponents half, it just meant they could continue to dig. For the footballs sake, let's hope that those trying to entertain get a goal or two in the second half.

As i feared, Barca clearly misses Puyol, Marquez and Henry. But at least Guardiola brought Messi back to RW and Eto'o in the middle.

Bring of Eto'o and Keita for Bojan and Gudjohnsen if nothing happens before 65mins.

It was a definite penalty, Barcelona got very lucky. Also, I'm glad that cheating little **** Alves won't play in the final. He dives more than Drogba.

First one, if you're talking about Alves/Malouda, the infringement started outside the box, so I think the ref got that right.

 

[milkman]

Essien's goal was top quality, and Chelsea should have had two penalties.


The referee is fucking retarded, the first dubious decision was when the chelsea player was fouled in the box. When the foul happened the whole Barca player was in the box, the actual 'foul' was inside the box (shirt pulling/general pulling down), one of the chelsea's foot was inside the other was outside but came in the box as he was pulled down. So the majority was inside the box, therefore a penalty.

Second dubious decision was clearly a penalty as Drogba was pulled down when he was clearly in on goal.

 

[Marty]

Can't believe Drogba missed that, good save by Valdes.

 

[InOffMeLeftShin]

For the first penalty, I think if any part of the player was outside the box that makes it only a free kick, I can certainly understand why the ref didn't give a penalty for that. Second was definately a penalty.

Still all the moments in the game have fallen to Chelsea. It's easy to admire Barcelona's passing, but it has been meaningless tonight. If it was boxing, Barca would look nice dancing around with plenty of movemement and jabbing away (mostly at thin air), while Chelsea have waited on the back foot and landed all the notable blows including a big left hook which wobbled the legs of Barca.

 

[OpenHeartZoo]

Drogba really should be taking that goal, he's going to be regretting that if they lose.

 

[spurs mental]

Dani Alves would do your fucking head in wouldnt he. He cant pass, cross, shoot, and hes an tempermental prick too.

I disgree with this. Chelsea look the more likely to score and I wouldn't say they've been ultra defensive at all. Barcelona haven't looked likely and have lacked quality. It's natural for chelsea as the winning team to invite barca on to them and hit them on the break, which they are doing well. Maybe barca just aren't as good as everyone thinks?

 

[spurs mental]

Red card for Abidal. Looks like Anelka caught his own feet.

 

[riggi]

odear

 

[CaptainCat]

Abidal sent off. Wrongly in my opinion. He didn't even make a tackle, did he?

 

[Marty]

Abidal off

Gave over methinks.

ooo it looks a LOT like Anelka dived there, but he was the last man and if the ref blows he has to go.

 

[Warik]

Anelka dived. Abidal didn't touch him.
