thats a worse punishment than the Korean coach got when they flopped in the World Cup .. He was only sent down a mine to work for the rest of his life. Surely not as bad as 5 years in a cesspit
I've been trying to get my head round those substitutions ...they were certainly more like we might have got with Ranieri (remember Monaco?) This is my effort to explain the inexplicable. 1 Ramires off...our player with the most stamina of all and playing well..Mereiles a good shout . Ram got a knock in the first half ..perhaps he was feeling it or sub was a precaution. 2 Torres off Anelka on . We needed to keep the ball when we got it forward so a reasonable sub 3 Lampard off Kalou on...At the time my reaction was WTF ...A sub to run down the clock??? Then leave it to added on time. Drog had been warming up ..could have come on with Malouda dropping into midfield.Perhaps Drog had felt a twinge in warming up so wasn't risked. In that case why not bringon Ivo .. I'm not defending putting on Kalou ...just trying to explain how I think it might have happened
their is an ongoing red top competition... who can shit on Chelsea the most and who can crawl the furthest up SAF's arse close at the moment between Sun and Daily Hate Mail ....both are to be tested for taking illegal enemas...
a minor point but one which could have bad results ..Ive never seen a ref award a free kick and not allow time for it to be taken ,,result 3 yellow cards which could later lead to suspensions
weve played our hardest game away ,,,still top of our group ...forget Kalou ,,doubt if he will play again ... there were a lot of great performances out there
