Now supposedly Ferdinand said "I need to hear the truth for myself about what happened on the pitch". WTF does that mean? Did he hear it or not?

So if Terry is going to be hung and quartered where is the uproar over the chipmunk up the road wearing red? Both are cases of he said/he said and yet the media have already found Terry guilty while the Evra/Suarez issue seems to be swept under the rug. My daughter has watched football since she was little. Before she really knew any better her favorite NT was and still is England even though we're Americans. Whenever she watches/hears Terry getting boo'ed she always asks "he plays for England, why do they hate him so much?" I really don't get it either. Terry may have some monogamy issues but I've never ever heard a comment or inkling that he's a racist. He's played with Ashley Cole, Drogba, Anelka, Malouda, Kalou, Mikel, Ramires, and how many others for how long? Chelsea may be one of the most racially diverse PL teams out there. Wouldn't the media in their previous witchhunts of Terry have found that before? Who knew the QPR game would be so damn dramatic on and off the pitch.

Are we really surprised though? With the amount of cards and AVB's post-game comments we had to know it was coming. The FA protecting the FA.

Sigh...exhale... bitching and moaning over. Boys just need to come out stronger Wed and Sat against Arsenal. It is a long season, lots of games left, and I'm looking forward to it.

@OllieHoltMirror If luiz push was a pen, so were QPR pushes on Luiz and Lampard You know it's bad when the Mirror says something positive toward Chelsea.

First thought that came to mind: titty twister

Watching the Genk game I was laughing at Ray's comments about Luiz. He sounded like a proud but exasperated father. He said he should be a DM because he was never in the position to play as a CB. I think we all love Luiz because he scores crazy goals, because he has crazy skills, and how can you not love that personality which doesn't seem to have an ounce of malice? It makes it easier for us to overlook some of his bad Sideshow Bob moments but there are times when you just shake your head in exasperation.

Everybody has said it all but I"ll sum up my thoughts so I can move on: 1. Lesson 1 my daughter learned defending as a U10 player - don't let the ball bounce. 2. How was that a red on Bosingwa? Terry was there. How was that a goal scoring opportunity? It's SWP for God's sake. 3. Thought at the time Drogba should've been sacrificed instead of Drogba based on how poorly Drogba was playing. 4. Drogba made a stupid decision when the team was already down a man and down a goal. His response to Mikel was even more disappointing. 5. Whatever AVB said to the team at half and the tactics were spot on. How embarrassing for QPR they were on their heels for the second half. 6. The 9 men on the pitch including the subs were absolutely amazing. That kind of passion and determination fans can absolutely 110% get behind.

I admit it when AVB talks like that and defends his players like that I crush on him...big time.

Good thing the Carling Cup is interfering with League games so Cole doesn't miss Arsenal. The ref....smh.

It should only be Drogba and Bosingwa.

Drogba yes. Bosingwas yes. But why would Cole and Terry be suspended too?

I have to agree. Another slow first half start which hurt the team combined with 2 red cards (one very questionable, one very stupid). The second half was great team spirit and something to be proud of.

I'm not one to blame refs but this ref is absolutely disgraceful.

No matter the result, the players in the second half have fought and not given up. Everything you want in a team you support.

Nico probably could have done better on that header but I think he's done more for the team today than Drogba did. Just me.

Good ball by Ivanovic. A little better redirection Nico. Foy is an ass. How much time is he going to add for Derry's knock.

Updated

Foy still has time to give Anelka, Cole, Terry, Malouda, Cech cards.

Another freakin' yellow?!? Is Foy getting paid by the card?

Boys are holding onto the ball a little too long and when QPR presses with the men advantage they're turning the ball over. That said, they look 10 times better this half then they did the first.

I'm drinking the blue koolaid with you. Derry - what a dick. C'mon boys!

Did you notice Mikel saying something to Drogba after the card and Drogba shush him? What a bonehead moment by Drogba.

I get it. It was more a rhetorical question as to what the hell is going on out there? what else can go wrong?

I'm so freakin' confused right now. Luiz has an evil Sideshow Bob moment. Bosingwa has a red card that should be appealed. Drogba has a dumbass moment. Now Mata is off (is he hurt?) WTF!
