Closed Chelsea 1-2 Man City

[Santiago. 1,500]

FA will not charge Aguero's two foot challenge but Hazard gets a red card and ban for kicking a ball under a ball boy.

Fuck off

[Jype 6,398]

On one hand I am glad Aguero won't be banned as we need all the help we can get from other teams against Spurs and it's better if City face them with their best striker available, but on the other hand I am sad. Every day I lose a little bit more faith in the FA's clueless actions. Just look at the decisions they've made only in the last couple of months:

Hazard, banned for kicking a ball from under a cunt who does something he's not supposed to.

McManaman, not banned for one of the worst tackles I've seen in years.

Aguero, not banned for a clearly intentional attempt to hurt the opponent with absolutely no chance of winning the ball.

And that's only a fraction of the baffling decisions they make almost every week. They don't give a fuck what the situation is like, they only look at who the player in question is and if his face doesn't please them, they'll get the ban. If a player, say Joey Barton or Mario Balotelli, did what Aguero did yesterday, we wouldn't hear the end of it and they would probably have been banned for at least 6 games.

Like good old Ashley Cole so elegantly put it, the FA are a fucking bunch of twats.

[Special Juan 28,141]

Yeah, that's fucking shit, but it's better for us. He gets to play vs. Spurs this weekend.

That's not the point, the point is another horrific decision and two footed lunge goes unpunished.

Watch the next time if it's us......They will kill us.

Haha! Unbelievable. Is that really Alec Stewart? I know he's a Chelsea fan but this is weirdly coincidental. That is a famous banner in Chelsea history and can't believe that one of our celebrity fans is in that shot

Don't forget when Brana was suspended for three matches for an attempted elbow on Mahooney of Wigan. CFC is just hated by the FA. Like Ashley Cole said, they are a bunch of cunts

Agreed. Just a minor correction: the ball was not in play at the time of the two-footed lunge; the whistle had already gone.

someone should've been banned: either Aguero or Foy, or better yet, both of them.

Isn't that kind of what I was implying, "no chance of winning the ball" as in the ball was not there to be won because the whistle had already gone or the ball had gone out of Aguero's reach?

[Special Juan 28,141]

In play or out of play that, well, you can't even call it a challenge so lets call it assault, was wrong on every level.

Sure, just thought that needed emphasizing... like a hell lot more emphasizing...

Not much different if Aguero had punched Luiz in the face tbh.

[Clevemayer 764]

really loved agüero, and was angry as hell when he didn't join with us, but get that cuntface a ban for that needless tackle...

[Special Juan 28,141]

And then you have this shit....

That is one of the mysterious things in football right now. FA's policies and how they are handled in regarding to different clubs. It's one of those questions in life that are tricky to fully acknowledge the truth of, Why am I alive? Is there a god? What's the meaning of life? What the fuck does the FA have against Chelsea? Why does Stingray keep responding to my posts with hilarious dense comebacks after he blatantly stated I was on his ignore list? Why does Uefa always kiss Barca's ass.

Just one of the mysteries of the world I'm afraid.

Not exactly fair on the other two teams...if he messes up their game again they will suffer as well! Understand he's been demoted blah blah but still...

[Changingman_2000 876]

This was like a re-run of last season's cup final, in reverse. Like Snivelpool, we were nowhere for the first 60 odd minutes and only came to life after we scored. At the end, Citeh were hanging on. JT should have started. Luiz should have started in Obi Mikel's place. Lampard should have came on, without any shadow of a doubt.

[GodZola 630]

Didn't stop Foy sending off Hazard when the ball wasn't in play either? The news now is that Foy 'partly' saw the challenge so Aguero gets let off the hook? Have ever heard of such nonsense?! If you add this to the fact that Webb has been demoted & Foy is still officiating in the Prem next week then it is hard not to believe the conspiracy theories about Foy who without question hates us & the bent FA - back handers & some bum sex going on! -)

Yeh with our midfield we will never win against such teams if they are playing well, our AMs do their jobs already tho and next year with hopefully another coach they will even be better.

Our midfield might be average, that's right but in the 2nd half we enjoyed the bulk of precision and our DMs are not to blame that Mata, oscar, hazard, who saw enough of the ball, found no way to penetrate that stubborn City defense, which is exactly what we bought them for, to provide the creativity, the chances. That is not Mikel or Ramires job, that is Mazacar's. They had half an hour to create one fuckin goal and they did fuck all as vs Juve, as vs Atletico, as vs any game vs City. They, esp Mata are supposed to be our main men in attack. They yet are tow in us a title or at least any game against a side with a top defense.

Chelsea midfielder Eden Hazard admits he and his team-mates were 'frightened' of Manchester City during their FA Cup semi-final defeat on Sunday.

The Blues fell 2-0 behind to the reigning Premier League champions at Wembley following Samir Nasri's first-half strike and a Sergio Aguero goal two minutes after the break.

Rafael Benitez's men threatened a comeback when Demba Ba scored in the second half but were unable to see it through.

Belgian international Hazard believes Chelsea showed City too much respect in the opening half and paid the price.

He told The Sun: "We were frightened of City in the first half.

"We showed them too much respect, and paid the price. Maybe we might have deserved a different fate, but we started the game badly.

"We played the final 40 minutes, but that is not enough to beat City.

"We had chances, and we believed we could do something, but their keeper made some good saves."

[The Skipper 20,609]

Don't know why people want to put our best defender in midfield tbh.
