i watched and didnt see that at all. if anything the penalty kick awarded to barca was controversial. but i agree that pierluigi didnt have his finest performance today.

He did pretty wel (the game just needs more referees, it's absurd to expect one man to see all) but he did fumble on the last Chelsea goal which was in his line of sight btw.

Same old Chelsea
Always cheating!!

Chelsea arent really famous for cheating, Collina just loves the English

I think they deserved to win anyway. If Barca didnt have goofy it wouldve been a white-wash.

C'mon!!!
I love English football but Chelsea didn't even try to attack, even when behind.
It was almost as bad as Portugese style football....Oh wait!!

Yeah, I saw a replay as well and didn't see a foul on the last goal (by Terry). Some minor contact, maybe... nothing foulable.

[Imran Siddiqui]

So, I think it'll be great to see Chelsea play AC Milan at some point in the future. That would be some match to see!

? chelsea's last goal was scored off a corner kick.

edit: you mean terry fouled his defender? are you kiidding me? i was a certified ref some years back, and i can assure you there was no foul on that play. it didnt even stick out in my mind until you brought it up.

[Imran Siddiqui]

you mean terry fouled his defender

I think he's still talking about Carvalho and Valdes.

[alva]

No, the pulled the keeper by his arm, very subtle.

[Imran Siddiqui]

I slowed it down and didn't see any of that. I think Valdes dove, trying to get a foul, because he knew he couldn't get to the ball struck by Lampard.

[alva]

They did a blow up here and it's very obvious but like I said, very subtle.
When he runs past the keeper, he takes arm and completely takes him out of balance, to be honest though I'm not really sure wether he would have gotten the ball anyway.
Always have someone on the second post (unless it's Davids, he's no good at it ).

[Imran Siddiqui]

He hit the arm while running by incidentally, which is not a foul. He didn't grab him or knock him over intentionally.

[alva]

Yes, he does.
It doesn't have to be much, it's like giving a little push while in the air.

Ah well, at least Reds will be happy.

4 goals and they didnt try to attack Chelsea are the best attacking team youll see in the Champions League this season, and theyre not bad in defence either, theyre no AC Milan (boring!) but look how Barca scored, a penalty and a fluke, and that was when Chelsea were attacking themselves.

Watching the Milan - Man U game, I hope Chelsea do get Milan and show them how to play real football, none of this defending nonsense, and did you see Shevchenko in that ridiculous white polo-neck? This is what happens when players move to Italy, they go soft, growing their hair long and diving sideways when theyre looked at angrily.
