And as for Drogba... I think he's got a serious illness.
No, the mugs went with United v. Bolton.
If we'd had Grant and they'd had Ramos tonight, they would have won b 7 or 8.
Chelsea's recent form is all down to the players, the press tell Grant who to pick, they play, they cost alot, and therefore they are better than most players, they tend to win.
Our recent form has a lot to do with Ramos, Jol was a good manager, but Juande seems to be Mourinho-like in bold team selection and early, positive substitutions, he has that extra "je ne sais quoi" and we ned to continue these performances into next season.
Get over yourself :lol:
It was a bad miss, go and watch it again. When you're standing on the penalty spot with no defenders around you and the keeper is rooted to the spot and off his line, in the last minute of the game, you stay calm and you slot the ball into the bottom corner across the goalkeeper. You do not scoop it to exactly the keeper's hand-height with the ball heading for the upper middle of the goal. It was the worst possible placement of a shot.
The guy is apparently some kind of deity, he should be expected to score in that position. It was a decent save, no doubt, but he shouldn't have been allowed to make it in the first place.
I would genuinely be extremely disappointed not to score myself if in the same situation.
If that had been Bent, would people have been so forgiving?

Definitely not slaughtering Berbatov for the miss, but as '57 points out, if it was Bent we would've had another plague of 'Bent is shit' threads...
Do you reckon he could have squared it to Bent, Bobbert?
That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying could he have squared it to Bent?
I've watched a couple of times, and Bent looks as though he's got a relatively simple finish. It's unexpected for a forward to square it in that position, especially as the keeper had set himself. It was just a thought ...
