Closed Barcelona 2 - 2 Chelsea

[Kez 2,727]

call me a lover of the uglier side of the game but lampards tackle on fabregas is my highlight.

The cunt deserved it. Fair play to lamps.

Hey you weren't the only one...I walked out of the pub to sulk @ the 45th minute mark & once I got out there...I heard this scream. At first I thought it were the numerous Barca fans in the bar I watchin' the match..then I heard Chelsea are still in it. I looked & I saw that beautiful chip by Ramires...Never again will I turn my back on these guys. I would advise Monsieur Petit to do the same

SAME!, i missed the first half i had to rush home quick, got back and seen the replay on halfitme team talk on Ramires chip i was like REALLY ARE WE WINNING?, then seen it was 2-1 and terry was sent off... i was devistated.

On a serious note for someone who only ever played for one football club his entire career, and someone I couldn't stand during his playing career, Gary Neville is far and away the best pundit Sky Sports have got. He's unbiased, says it as it is! And fair play to his reaction to both Ramires and Torres' goals, especially Torres, it was the reaction of a fan of English football.

I completely agree. I always thought he was a total wanker, how wrong was I. He calls it down the middle every time, of course he loves Manchester United the most but at least he doesn't let it show.

Imagine any of the current Barça mob being pundits, they would be insufferable.

I've just watched the match back again and I don't think it quite sank in the first time just how big an achievement it was. People will compare this to the rearguard Inter showed two years ago, but this was so much more heroic. We had our first choice centre half pairing decimated within the first 35 minutes, and actually had to go and score against them with 10 men, as opposed to just hanging on. Not just that, but we scored twice. Barcelona didn't even win, despite being 2-0 on their home patch against 10 men.

Dani Alves said we deserved to lose in 2009 because despite playing at home with 10 men we played with fear. I wonder if he'll say the same for his Barcelona side tonight? For us, we were without doubt fearless - taming the lion in its own den.

And for all the talk of ugly football, Barca not deserving to lose, BLAH BLAH BLAH - attacking football is not the only art to football; defending is too. That is why Barca aren't in the final, their defending is non existant! Ours was nothing short of a masterclass tonight!

One final note also on the suspensions. I would happily accept them if we saw consistency - Yes Terry was rightly sent off, but where was the punishment to Messi and Fabregas to reacting against Lampard? And dissent from Ivanovic and Ramires - why weren't Barca players disciplined every time they crowded and hounded the referee? Not to mention Fabregas diving for the penalty. It's a disgrace what they get away with without being ridiculed.

UEFA won't be happy

When I read he was going to be a pundit I thought it was a joke, But he's easily the best pundit on television. Fair, unbiased and usually correct analysis on the game, He's funny aswell.

Not only does he present Monday Night Football better then Andy Gray, he's beat his "Oh you beauty" with his reaction to Torres's winner

I had posted 3 weeks ago that Universe had its own way of leveling things. Injustice of the highest order in 2009 and then to rub it in seeing Barca bench run towards the corner flag and celebrating infront of Chelsea fans

3 years later, 10 men on the pitch at Nou Camp against the Best Team ever and 2 goals down, no Chance in hell and Torres buries it in 91st minute and Chelsea celebrate infront of the Catalans. Comeback of the Highest order

KARMA IS A BITCH!!!

And when Jamie Redknapp is considered Sky's 'golden boy' pundit. He's a good laugh on League of their Own, but as a football pundit he's dreadful and is so biased towards Liverpool and Spurs it's ridiculous!

[Superblue 6,370]

I have this feeling inside of me that Liverpool will beat us in the FA Cup final with an Andy Carroll goal to effectively 'repay' his transfer fee, and then Fernando Torres will score the winner for us in the Champions League final to 'repay' his transfer fee.

To be honest I would let the Scousers win the FA Cup just this once if it means we finally win the big one!

[warnie_666 1,081]

You cannot pick one player as Man of the Match. This is a game of a life time. 10 men defended like Gladiators at the home of the Best Side Ever against all the odds while trailing by 2 goals.

The poll should read as Men of the Match and must have only one option which should include all players on pitch.

Lol i bet a lot of people seen my very very disturbing comment on the locked thread. Yes i will still turn gay for FERNADO TORRES!, for that goal.... i'm sorry it's worth it.

[Spike 12,049]

On the Bleacher Report the Barça fans are really butt hurt. So much so, it is annoying.

On that Barça forum some of the lads trolled a while back, they are handling it much better than I though. Some of them are going a bit nuts and crucifying their players while others say that they are not entitled to win every game and were just outplayed in a different style.

[Rambo 1,729]

Imagine months ago someone would say Chelsea FC would make the CL final. Now look at us now! Let's win the fucking double.
