Message: [QUOTE="The Brizz, post: 2201414, member: 1817"] All the pictures and videos are hilarious. Don't like to go through that way but I won't complain or ask for Chelsea to take Barca's place, that's football sometimes unfortunately. I thought the Pique handball was a 100% penalty but the 2 main shouts for fouls I thought were 50/50 at best and the Eto'o handball was not a penalty, I think the way Drogba dives may have influenced the referee (he has a massive reputation, plus if I was a ref I would hate him for the way he gets in your face and intimidates). I also thought the Abidal send off was terrible as I think the contact was accidental due to a change of direction, a yellow would have been fair. The referee was horrid and I can see how a Chelsea fan would be devastated however the players particularly Ballack and Drogba should receive hefty bans for there disgusting behaviour this morning, Ballack intimidated and handled the referee and Drogba swore repeatedly at the live viewing audience both should know much better. On the game, I thought Barca's make shift defense did well under the circumstances and only let Valdes be tested seriously a few times plus a near undefendable thunderbolt from Essien. The midfield struggled again due to the size of Essien, Ballack and Lampard they are too strong and physical for Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets to control the game. Messi was starved and Iniesta got hacked down repeatedly so neither got into the game enough and Eto'o was like a shadow out there. Man U will suit Barca more due to their holding players not having that imposing nature Carrick, Anderson and Scholes (in for Fletcher) will not press as hard as Chelsea and can't just monster the Barca's players off the ball like Chelsea could. All the possession in 4 legs (Man U semi last year and Chelsea semi this year) and 1 goal in the last minute is all we have, a big concern but I think Man U will be inclined open up more than Chelsea did and I think the final could be a good one if either team scores early. I am worried about the fullbacks now that Alves and Abidal are out, hopefully Marquez somehow recovers so Puyol can occupy one flank but that isn't looking likely. Anyway, when the goal went in from Iniesta I must say that was just about the best feeling sport has ever provided me with. [/QUOTE]
