It is our fault

[yogic]

Never tried to win it from the go.

Drogba fluffed all his chances.

We could have wrapped it up with the counter-attacks towards the end, but did not.

Barcelona got one shot on target and scored.

-

This team is old and not innovative anymore. Anelka and Drogba are not lethal enough. Droba has his games but we need someone consistent.

I truly hope Hiddink recognizes all our squad issues and talk to Roman.

I truly hope Roman sanctions a squad overhall.

I truly hope Kenyon recruits a TOP manager.

-

Chelsea forever.

[b00gamaster]

I truly hope Hiddink will take this very personally and stay with us to win the damn thing!!!

Yogic - you are a tosser - particulary tonight of all nights

I'm with you on this one. What a t**t

[kalpitv]

So, we are back to squad overhaul? Can we win the FA Cup first please?

[Lofty]

Never tried to win it from the go.

Who had the most shots on target?

Drogba fluffed all his chances.

He didn't have that many for starters. With any justice we'd have had 3 or 4 penalties. You never know, Frank might have let him take one.

We could have wrapped it up with the counter-attacks towards the end, but did not.

This is true. But we did score earlier, and for the vast majority of the game, we restricted them to meaningless possession football.

Barcelona got one shot on target and scored.

Yes they did. In the 93rd minute. I'm still waiting for someone to explain where that twat of a ref found those 4 exrtra minutes. Same place he lost those 3 or 4 clear penalties no doubt.

This team is old and not innovative anymore. Anelka and Drogba are not lethal enough. Droba has his games but we need someone consistent.

I am so SICK of thise "the team is too old" garbage. Ferguson started it before the season started. And do you know what? If Scolari hadn't managed to f**k things up big time, this team of pensioners would in all probability be sitting well clear at the top of the league right now.

christ you're a twat.

[PloKoon13]

Leave it guys. I'm as pissed off as you are, but I guess he's trying to look at it from a non-victim's perspective.

I agree with you, but still... I can see what he's trying.

are you taking the f*****g piss!?

can you honestly say that we should not have had any of those clear penalties.

This was a terrific performance from the boys; Drogba should have scored but everyone played extremely well - Barca had ONE shot on goal the whole match, whislt we created several great chances.

Make no mistake, the referee won the game today.

[yorkleyblue]

Lofty - sometimes you are a right cu nt - but that observation was spot on and I want to have your babies! or at least come down Swansea and give you a CFC lifetime achievement award gobble!

[aliboy66]

We should have one we should of had a penalty but this football yeah,what will happen to Drogba now after what he did?.I fill so empty right now

Our best chance of winning and the best way of playing Barca was by using the exact tactics we used.

Proud of the way the team played. Football isn't just about fancy football and looking pretty you know,

although Barca are the best in the world at it.

yogic, go f**k yourself. on a night like this you come out with sh*t like that. your a f**king imbecile, simple as that. now f**king do one.

My stream got boring after th wefinal whistle - What the f**k did Drogba do?

[lampard44]

i doubt we will never win the euro cup

[Ballack & Blu]

Well poster no1,you got what you deserved,unlike Barca,yes they are a pretty team,but we battled our bollocks off tonight,to a man we stood and faught them,drogba you either love him or hate him,but they couldn't handle him,malouda gets better,and poor old JT my heart goes out to the guy,Essiens wonder goal deserved to see us winners,but for a ref who was so far out of his depth,he was told don't give anything to Chelsea,we don't want 2 prem clubs in CL final.

[superman-zak]

Cheers for that 'superman-zak'. Strange to have supporters from other teams come on the the forum in support of us. Shows how sh*t the ref was as there have been others who have taken the trouble tonight.

Good luck

[OhDennisWise]

I am devastated. No-one should lose in that manner.

Everyone I have spoken to has said that it was a terrible loss and the fault of the ref. He should never referee a game of this importance ever again!!!!

The boys were professional (before the final whistle) and did what they had to do. Barca are probably the best team in the world right now and so you have to have a game plan...

The refereee clearly had no bottle!

This will take a while to get over..

[yogic]

wow - thanks for the kind words

As much as you all might disagree - the way I saw the game the players did not try to go out and win it IMO.

We did not attack them as we had done the last time they came here. Essien's goal was a volley off a deflection.

The chances we got we did not take and the ones we tried to take we took VERY poorly (exclude Essien)

Yes it is because the squad is old. Barcelona were done to 10 and were still attacking us at our home - we really should have taken control of the midfield and kept possession once they got the red card, but we didn't. We did not take the game by its neck and take control.

You might argue that we were setup for a counter-attack game: but once they were down to 10 we should have kept the ball and not given it away so cheaply. I cant remember if we even struck more than 5 passes at a go.

Complain all you like about the ref and the decisions.

And those who doubt my love for the club can think as they like - i have nothing to prove on this site.

[smithy20]

you f**king serious??

we didn't take our chances?? thats beacuse half the chances we had they either handballed or fouled us! how the f*ck can we expect to score if the ref bottles it everytime a BIG decision comes around?

yes abidal got sent off for nothing but that just shows how bad this ref is and what was he trying to do? even it up slightly?

that bald norwegian tosser.

Well Platini & co. you got what you wanted... not another english final and your loveable Barca who we outplayed. bring on Drogba's 20 match suspension for stating the simple truth.

f**king Disgrace

[bluevale2]

I can't put into words how I feel at the moment, just like having a massive kick in the bollocks.

I hope you are happy now Platini you twat!!!!!
