Another very, very harsh red card... Looked like Anelka kicked his own heels and fell over, ref's been done...

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?

At least not today... Xavi has been missplacing far too many passes, Eto'o and Messi have been very inactive and only Iniesta has been his inventive usual self..

Anelka dived. Abidal didn't touch him.
Touched him - yes, but red card....eh no.

When we thought it couldn't get worse....Chelski playing 11 against 10 takes of a striker for a defender :oops:

Cole has done well any time Messi has gotten the ball. Mind you the way Alves is playing just behind Messi its difficult enough. Alves wrecks my head. He's so bad!! Gimme Charlie any day over him

Missed the sending off, saw a replay and i couldn't really tell in slow motion if he dived or if he just tripped over himself. Did look like a small touch although completely unintended. It is the first thing of note to say of Barcelona all night. Honestly i think they have been pretty negative tonight. They haven't really tried to unlock Chelsea at all, they have passed it around and that is it. No invention, no guile and they absolutely deserve to be behind, just should be more than one.

Things like this can always be questioned from time to time but it's obvious that Barca miss three players that normally appears in their starting line-up.

Yes, Alex miss the final... how long is Carvalho out for exactly? Ivanovic to come in for the final then I guess..

Alves is not the best wing back in the world, not even close

For a team that could go through with just one goal, Barcelona have absolutely no urgency...

But hey, get our defence organised and the Wembley Cup is ours!
