Drogba being his usual disgrace

CL should only really go to top 2 anyways

And yet the Chelsea supporters? no, fans? no, plastics? yeah thats the one, are chanting about Barcelona cheating.

Drogba shouldn't be allwoed on a pitch, will they mention the diving at all?

If you have to leave the pitch you should have to stay off the pitch for amin of 3 minutes...

the man just irks the feck out of me

Adrian Chiles mentioned it didnt he. He spent the first half rolling on the floor.

[metalhead]

He scored a goal in his own injury time, what a disgrace of a footballer 

Barca completely dominating the first half and Chelsea score through some shambolic defending from Barca

Why did both of Barca's centre backs go towards the ball, they left Drogba on his own in the box

I hope this spurs Barca on, they'll surely score one....right?

[andy_g]

but it would only be fair. its what we did to everton a few years back.

Not true.  Didn't they get to play a Champions League Qualifier against Villareal and get beaten?  We had to play 3 qualifiers but got in.

you're right. i stand corrected facing the wall in the silly corner.

Drogba was embarrassing in that first half. That said, I'd still love it if Chelsea score another one and hold Barcelona at the Nou Camp. Hate Chelsea but I absolutely despise Barcelona.

[dawson99]

the thing is, our melon headed papers will all be saying how awesome Drogba is, not how he is basically ruining the game of football

really hope Barca win

Plus, heard Maureen still going on against the goal we 'scored' against his cheatski that should never have been, and yet again failing to mention how the keeper should have been sent off

[red till i die!!]

its gonna take a bit of messi magic to break them down as everytime barca get the ball chelsea are parking the bus

If we are not careful in the FA Cup final, thats exactly how it will go against us. Barcelona were like Liverpool tonight, creating chances but missing them and hitting the post.

Glimpse of Roman at the end there still looking like a village idiot ,

Do you reckon they have to leave them flags on the seats as they leave

I dont think Chelsea would play that way against us though. Credit to Chelsea they defended admirably and had a clear gameplan from the first minute that they executed to near perfection. There arent many sides out there capable of beating Barcelona and preventing them from scoring and I doubt many will be taking Chelsea or Di Matteo for that matter lightly after this result. Like you say, we need to be careful but I dont think it will be anywhere near as one-sided as that game was and if I was to make a prediction on how the game would pan out based on current form I'd say I'm more worried about our defending than I am about us missing chances.

Barcelona played themselves completely into Stokes/Chelsea's hands they used the limited  width of the pitch to compress Barcelona's overall
play and basically crammed 11 players behind the ball  ... Even Drogba was used to unsettle Busquets whenever he received the ball ,and
Chelsea's back four just exposed Barcelona's weak link in Fabregas's  fragility by closing him down quickly whenever he was brought into play .

It will be a completely different game at the Nou Camp, and Chelsea wont be able to use similar tactics .I just hope Barca get an early goal
and fucking destroy these cuntz .

Chelsea played your perfect example of "anti-football" today.  It reminded me of the US vs. Spain game in the confederations cup a few years back when Spain just thrashed them but the US put in a good defensive shift and managed to get in the way of everything.

Chelsea were really lucky to get the win tonight, but I think that's pretty obvious to everybody.  Barca were really unlucky throughout, hitting the post a couple times.  Also credit to both Iniesta and Messi.. There was way more physical ***** going on in the box that they stayed on their feet for then players like ashley young or rooney would ever stand for.  If they'd have gone down they very well could have had a couple of legit pens, but they stood their ground. 

I thought Pep made a mistake in taking out Sanchez as only him and Messi seemed likely to score.. He needed to take out Fab first, then maybe Busquets for Thiago if he really wanted to attack at the end.

It was annoying how much time wasting drogba and co were doing.. He went down 6 times alone, and a few other chelsea players picked up magical injuries when they needed to kill of some time.
