LOL… Chelsea is out, Sevilla is out.

Great news is Cesc returned to full training and will be in the squad for the West Ham match!

i didnt quite see the drogba incident….i thought it was a case of handbags…but maybe the ref thought drogba kicked motta

but chelsea should have had 2 penalties as saw it players bundled to the ground on 2 occassions???? maybe drogba’s reputation for theatrics went against him….

Nice to see Terry has lost none of his charm afetr recent events, barracking fourth officials as he leaves the pitch, they were beaten fair and square tonight and they still have to throw a big girly strop. Tw@ts.

I’d like to be the first to say that Drogba is a cheat, a bad loser, a drama queen and deserves to win nothing along with his jerk team mates.

Inter kicked them out of CL, here’s hoping we can do the damage in EPL.

Whereas i’m really happy about the win lets not forget when bashing Van helsing of vinegar about being offside, so was a certain little russian for a header which led directly to an arsenal goal in the very near past.

Apart from that how funny old Browny getting the heavo.

Haha! I don’t know much about the goings-on in the Italian league you just mentioned, though…

@ Debs

Yes it was a soft penalty in comparison to the incidents involving Clichy and B52. Looking at that game critically, you’d think the that there was something fishy with ref Marinner decisions ala the disgraceful incidents in the italian league a few years ago…or maybe he was down right incompetent!

Thanks, Dev!

Well Yemi, the referee gave a penalty, and if I had the same view as the ref, I probably would have given the same. I have watched the penalty incident again, and it’s only after looking at various angles of the challenge that you could argue that maybe it wasn’t a penalty, but there’s no way one can say the referee got it wrong in that instant. Hesselink definitely played for it, but minus it being offside, you can’t begrudge the referee for giving it. Sol did knee him in the back/side. It might have been a soft penalty, but from the way I see it, definitely one…

@Yemi

i agree with you…serial diver rooney would have got a penalty on the Clichy and Bendtner incidents. Yes the brit media choose not to pick up on it…we’ll let that be for now.

Right now, we just need to win our games and need L’pool to do us a big favour as i expect ManU and Chelsea to cancel each other out when they meet.

Also, we’ll see whether other teams roll over for ManU

@debs: i totally disagree with you on the penalty. long name pulled a fast one by jumping in front of sol. sol did not make any challenge albeit a clumsy a one. he was trying to clear the ball when long name jumped into his path. please watch the replay again. as for the offside, it happens. basically i think the lines men and ref at that game made a lot of wrong calls in the game. it was poor officiating the b52 and clichy calls for penalties were clearer calls but even those would have been harsh calls. (if it had been rooney or ronaldo, the ref would have pointed to the spot without any hesitation)
