Ahem, Istanbul 25/05/05
Coming from three goals down in the biggest cup final in club football within 45 mins kinda trumps getting a draw with 10 men behind the ball for the best part of 90 mins in my book.
I think it was Redknapp who came out with that corker the daft tw@t. We beat Barca on their own patch, Inter went there and pulled off a similar feat to what Chelsea did tonight yet none of these come close to Istanbul.
In fairness though, it was one hell of a performance. The first half against Milan we were awful. Chelsea were consistent through both legs. Boring defending play yes, but, against the so called best team in the world, with a temp manager, what would you expect?
Chelsea stifled Barcelona totally, and Barcelona, although they had more than enough chances to win the bloody games, had no plan B. Chelsea tonight had to defend like crazy, especially when they were down to 10 men. And they did just that and more, they scored on the counter to rub salt in the wound.
Credit Chelsea, its a job well done. But do we hope they win it? Do we f*ck !
