I was wondering how long it would be before I heard a Chelsea mn blame it on Terry slipping. :p I know, it was awful. The way they made him take that penalty on a different and more slippy pitch than everyone else. A disgrace. Poor John Terry, poor Chelsea.
Then again, Terry wouldn't have had to take the penalty if Drogba wasn't a complete spanner. SAadly, though, he is.
:D
I'm not blaming our defeat on Terry slipping, it was just unlucky. A piece of much bad luck we had all night.
Drogba was a twit for slapping vidic, but there was ZERO consistency. Hargreaves shoved the referee in the back, Frank Lampard was slapped across the face in the same incident, and Ferdinand karate-kicked, studs-up, centimeters over Joe Cole's face in the penalty area. It was absolutely farcical.
Mike- lots of crazy decisions over corners/throw-ins e.t.c. which were blatantly obvious and were given to United. I'm not saying it's a conspiracy, but when Ronaldo can literally hoof the ball straight off the pitch, 50 yards high and wide and receive a CORNER, then that is bad officiating.
If you feel Ballack should have been sent off, then you would have to say the same about several other players from both sides. Owen Hargreaves constantly in the referees face and Ronaldo asking for harsher punishments of our players (as usual). On top of that you have Alex Ferguson, media darling, screaming and pointing at the referee as he came on to the pitch for the second half, and nothing was done, which is disgraceful whatever way you look at it.
And we hit the woodwork 3 times. Just not our night.
As I said, Ryan Giggs' own words "We were fortunate to win". Says it all really. :D
