yep i said that earlier.....that the ref was awful....from the missed penalties to the sending off....

, he never touched Anelka and he's now got to miss the final because of that, but the penalties are whats the most frustrating bit about it.

I always felt as long as it stayed at only 1-0
Barca had a chance, I didn't watch the game
but had the text rolling, they had so much possession for so long,
I spoke to my brother earlier, the timing of the Barca goal sickened him more than anything,
He felt they were there, home and dry.

this is what is so frustrating....inept refs.....

both second leg matches had them.......surely there is better than the 2 numpties they put in charge????

Why did Fergie have to jinx it with his prediction Chelsea would win . My bro was right he said if Chelsea didn't score a second goal Barca would score , there was me saying Chelsea would win.

it couldn't have been crueler rzb.....at 1-0 it's always dangerous.....

the champions league just brings heartbreak for us.....5 semi finals in 6 years....only one final reached and that ended in tears too....

but we will win it......and my god it's going to be so sweet when we do.....

I think they are at a crossroads squad wise,
can you see this squad staying together for much longer.

Me either, there wasn't one decent cross into the box all night...

I think it's will all come down to how they perform on the day, both team are probably going on to win their league, not much between the teams on paper. United next to make sure their players don't get wound up by Barca on the
night.

tbh rzb......no.....

i think there will be a massive clear out in the summer.....we need rid of the dead wood and new faces brought in.....

we need decent cover for cech for a start....

drogba i'm not sure on.....i'd like him to stay....for all his histrionics he's been a fabulous player for us....but i think he may want a change now......

the squad is ageing....lamps is brilliant but is 30(i believe)...he can't go on forever playing that amount of games.....

i think alot depends on who takes over.....but i'm sure the cup final will be the last time a good few wear the blue shirt

Totally will all be decided on the day, not much to separate us. Fergie will deffo make sure that doesn't happen after yesterdays controversy. But knowing Rooney he will probably respond if they try anything .

Hey guys - pick the bones out of these babies , I know stats don't tell the full story of course, but its interesting..

of course they got rid of our most successful manager the numbnuts.....

hiddink has been fantastic.....i'd love to see him back at the bridge.....

How dare they...

Hiddink is a great manager , he was great at PSV and he's a very nice bloke too so humble and polite . Hope he stays at Chelsea.

I heard it was Bishop they were after.

Totally , but thats the way he is very dignified he must have been angry but is smart enough not to disrespect anyone. I really rate him and hope Chelsea keep him .

I take notice of a manager more after they have dropped points, He has alwasy come across as
a straight talking guy honest guy.

What impressed me most about him, was that for all what we may think about the pens, he didnt use that as an excuse and just said they should have scored regardless.

Gotta fly guys...

Been a good day shooting the breeze with you all..

Hope to catch you tomorrow...
