No one else think it was a pen then? Okay he touched the ball initially, but Fabregas would still have got to the ball had Fletcher not brought him down with his other leg afterwards.

Man United fully deserved to get through anyway, hopefully Barca can make the final now and break the English domination of the Champions League.

Why do you want to break the English dominance? I want Chelsea to go through so they have a big game days before the FA Cup final but would like too see a Barca- Utd final. Think Barcelona will go through tonight.

What a load of twaddle. Defender in extra contact due to the very nature of tackling shocker.

Players will catch other players with trailing legs in the process of tackling all the time. The fact of the matter is, the initial challenge and winning of the ball is what counts. Fletcher did that, brilliantly, hence it's never a penalty.

if Chelsea beat Barca, it will mean (apparently) that no english team has been knocked out by anyone other than another english team for the last two seasons.


is this correct?

Some United fans couldn't get in with tickets, maybe we should ask other's how it's done(reference to Athens not Hillsborough).

Liverpool fans had the same problem in the CL there last season, but lets face it Mark you do have lads that bunk in like us.

Yeah. You've got to go back to the 2006/2007 competition when AC Milan knocked out United and PSV Eindhoven knocked out Arsenal.
