Sheva. 5,373 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 No. Not at all. Even Barcelona needed some luck to win the CL under Guardiola but almost everyone have been hypnotized by their tiki-taka football that they have overlooked other factors. In 2009, the referee turned down 4-5 LEGITIMATE penalties in favor of them and they were also lucky that we did not put away those chances from open play that we got.Then last year, Van Persie was harshly sent off for just kicking the ball away in the 2nd Last 16 tie at the Camp Nou. Arsenal were still pretty much in that tie then but once they went down to 10 men, they had no chance whatsoever. Moving on to the semis. Pepe was sent off for a supposed tackle on Alves when he didn't even touch him! Was still 0-0 that time but Madrid then lost 2-0 and pretty much the tie.There's a difference between being lucky, and cheating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jype 6,398 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 http://www.bbc.co.uk...otball/18205513Fifa president Sepp Blatter has asked Bayern Munich honorary president Franz Beckenbauer to come up with an alternative to the "tragedy" of penalty shoot-outs.So now they ask a Bayern Munich legend to come up with a solution because there's absolutely no way we would have won if we weren't so lucky and got the most undeserved win ever etc. It's obvious that Blatter doesn't like us very much.So bitter but somehow I like it. Let them cry and hate us as much as they like because we really don't give a fuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diskoviolente 425 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Worst of all is you get some parts of the media and ex-managers/players coming out to slate us for our defensive tactics. Feels like they are just being hypocrites as who on earth will be such an idiot to play Barcelona at their own game!! Really, the only time we parked the bus in the CL this season was against Barcelona and maybe Valencia at home. Otherwise,we usually have tried to play and attack the opposition. Against Bayern in the final, the accusations on us being on the defensive have been OTT. The reason why we looked to be doing that was because of our poor ball retention and misplacing passes too easily, which in return, invited constant pressure from Bayern and ended up having to defend most of the time.No. Not at all. Even Barcelona needed some luck to win the CL under Guardiola but almost everyone have been hypnotized by their tiki-taka football that they have overlooked other factors. In 2009, the referee turned down 4-5 LEGITIMATE penalties in favor of them and they were also lucky that we did not put away those chances from open play that we got.Then last year, Van Persie was harshly sent off for just kicking the ball away in the 2nd Last 16 tie at the Camp Nou.

Pepe was sent off for a supposed tackle on Alves when he didn't even touch him! Was still 0-0 that time but Madrid then lost 2-0 and pretty much the tie.Yes, thank you for proving my point. I couldn´t remember Barcas Champions League fate last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superblue 6,372 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Bad moments in Chelsea's history have healed over time, but I was never able to watch any highlights of anything to do with Chelsea - United final in Moscow 4 years ago.For fucks sake i even have the season review DVD and turned it off when it got to the final.But now I don't mind. It just feels so like it was meant to be, and those knockbacks we suffered so many times has made this triumph so much more special. People can talk about the money spent, blah blah, but it really feels like we fucking earnt it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
