Everything from the first goal to mikel chasing vucinic then falling on his arse to the red card for taking a free kick for deco was hilarious

The ref had a shocker tonight too, giving free kicks for all sorts of nonsense. How was the ref in your game?

he should've sent deco off earlier too

oh and terry's goal should've been ruled out for handball.

Yes, but he should have been, but he wasn't. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Have only seen the Terry goal once, but looks like it comes off his chest.

I loved Totti's roll in the tackle for the FK that lead to the goal. With a roll like that he should try tumbling for the Italian Gymnastics team.

I agree, it gave Chelsea an unfair advantange as Deco was playing for longer than he should've been.

Terry was offside aswell, plus handball.

Agree on Totti's roll, but it made no difference.

He does show good vision at times to go with his fantastic dribbling ability.

The next great wing forward in world football

No questioning his close control/dribbling.

But not quick enough or powerful enough + he side foots the ball rather than striking it with the laces so he won't be an end product player at the top level.



I don't watch CL group phases but I see from Kimbo's comments that Tyldesley was in fine form

Hasn't stopped a certain French and Arsenal Legend from doing it at the very top.

I'm surprised u say he isn't quick enough, I have always seem him as a pacey player, maybe it's coz of the way he goes past players with ease.

Silly thing is we managed to regroup a little once Deco was sent off. If only he'd gone sooner eh?

If it was offside then it was by centimetres. Very difficult for the linesman to tell and as you said regarding Totti, it made no difference.

Played off the pitch


Why do you even bother puro

Dude you know I like the Reds, but let's not be stupid. Atlético should have 2 wins from those two encounters. That's why they're knows as PATETICOS in Spain. They almost always squander "sure" wins.

Atlético de Madrid FFS! How do they ALWAYS manage to f@ck up! Admittedly it took a Gerrard's DIVE at the death but still.

Puro I hate to correct you but before rafa rested gerrard and alonso we were totally dominating atletico and bar a shocking ref decision would have been two - nil up and on our way to winning comfortably

Today we missed at least 6 simple chances. Not just good chances, but near certain goal chances.


Now if this is your version of atletico playing us off the park with about 2% possession in the second half then you should give up watching football

Don't even get me started.

They are just a heap of $h!t. Their players lack the stomach for European glory, and tactically they don't have a clue at the continental level. Add to that fact that their owner is a complete moron who cannot keep his mouth shut, and quickly you understand why they are becoming the most hated team in Italy.

They used to be the laughingstock of Italy but now they are just despised--maybe that's a step up depending on your perspective. It is testament to their odiousness that even after Calciopoli it is they not Juve who are hated the most. This is partly due to the fact that they are the worst winners ever. All their sanctimony about being the cleanest team in Italy really irked everyone.

This past week they have taken shots at Milan. Galliani ignored them, but finally gave in. I mean it was too easy. All Milan have to do is point to our trophy cabinet.

You should see how they play under Mourinho as well. Without a clue. Honestly, Mourinho's midfield looks utterly pedestrian. Quaresma is perhaps the most overrated player I've seen recently, and Adriano cannot get his $h!t together. Ibrahimovic blows hot and cold, and let's face it, he is still below the calibre of Kaka', C. Ronaldo and Messi.

With all that said, they have the talent, but in Europe they are an absolute shambles. Until they win the CL, no one will take them seriously. They can harp on and on about their "Scudetti", but only last year's was entirely legitimate--and Roma almost pipped them to the prize then too.

But their owner just doesn't get it. He made fun of us for buying Ronaldinho, saying that we buy aging players. He conveniently forgot that he was also involved in the negotiations for Ronaldinho. Then, rather than give us credit (btw Galliani was very magnanimous last year when Inter won) for being top, he takes a potshot saying how long it has been. Internazionale, a team that we have eclipsed for decades, suddenly wants to forget history because they think they can rewrite it after Calciopoli. After all, they did 'win' that Scudetto in 2006.

End of rant.
