not sure who the commentator is, but who is this Drogbar he keeps referring to?

Great scoreline for Utd, did enough I thought.

Ramires should have had a pen though, Ancelotti's turn to abuse the ref

What a load of tosh that was.

Re: Football Chat Thread : Wed Apr 06, 2011 8:44 pm  

I thought we were dire. United did enough and that's it. Great away result in the CL for them.

Get ****ing rid of those useless statues on the goal line. WTF is their excuse for not telling the ref it was a pen when Evra clearly took Ramires down?

Thought Drogba and Terry were our only good performers. Ramires did pretty well as well I guess. Just not enough from most of the others.

Thought it was ridiculous he took Drogba off when he was massively superior to Torres.

He'll twitch an eyebrow in disgust.

Although not having the nations media doing his work for him is a disadvantage.

I'd like to apologise to all the Liverpool fans who I've mocked for their signing of Carroll.....Yes, 35m is a lot of cash, but it looks paltry compared to 50m for Torres....

Torres certainly isn't 15m better than Carroll....He isn't 15m better than anybody, in fact.

Almost beginning to feel sorry for the fellow now, he's that annoymous.....I doubt he will ever return to his best on a consistant basis.

I was baffled as to why he took Drogba off instead of Torres, Drogba looked a constant threat and I thought Ramires did well too.

How desperate are the media for a London club in the final? The love in with Spurs this week, and tonight you'd think that the penalty was the only call the ref made! Was a nailed on pen like, but I believe the phrase is "swings and roundabouts"? B**locks. It was a penalty. Funny though.

Torres is a disgrace. 2 pathetic dives and he shouldve been off. Essien got away with murder. Drogba is becoming a bit of a joke. Almost a characature of himself.

Good 1st half by United. Carrick was immense. Second half was scrappy, didn't involve Carrick enough for me, bypassed him far too much.

Get money on him to score on Saturday. Wigan ALWAYS kickstart seasons and break ducks.

Re: Football Chat Thread : Wed Apr 06, 2011 8:57 pm  

Chelsea need one or two midfielders who can pick a pass and play to Torres's strength - his off the ball movement and runs, they don't have that at the moment.

Presumably Drogba will be sold in the summer and the finance made available for the midfield rebuild to happen, if not the £50m fee will go down as the worst transfer of all time.

Ramires, it could be argued, should not have been on the field to get that pen. He took Rooney out early on and then got booked a bit later on. Carrick was excellent particularly in the first half.

Don't think it's over though, they could easily win 2-1 at OT.
