Are you serious ?

100% Biased

Now "da haterz" banning your IP adress as well. Goodbye 13yo idiot

Well that sure was that.

Some terrible individual mistakes, especially from Hazard and Cole. Can't do them in a match like this.

Also can't expect to win against such a good team when starting players like Ramires.

I thought we lost the game after cole went of??

... The first goal already came with Cole on, for unexplainable reasons just letting the ball go past him.

And i don't want to see the sight of that cunt Costa in the Bridge in the blue shirt again. Let him rot in whatever shit hole he plays at.

And about that cunt president of Atletico try to fuck us playing our GK against the contract i say call back Courtois, sign a 5 year contract with him and loan him to Vittsee to learn the lesson and call him back or sell him to the best offer (optional!)

Pity that was the case in terms of Hazard. He was supposed to be a game changer for us, instead, he was having to defend most of the time and he was abysmal at it.

[zolayes 14,489]

No they're not. I don't think I've ever seen Tom overly criticize or insult one of our players.

And that's besides the point which was the bashing of our players is completely uncalled for since they have already exceeded expectations by taking us so far. This is a moment to reflect and be proud of the boys, it's not a moment knee-jerk over-criticism and it certainly isn't a moment for cynical swipes at other members and starting petty arguments.

I don't often agree with you ,, but this time you are spot on ,, IT WAS A CL semi final ,,, of course you guys think that should be a given ,

as we used to say in the forces "GET some fucking time in " of course you probably don't know what it means ,, Not you Choulou the fucking Glory hunters

[The_Flash 1,144]

They were terrible with their tackles and the ref just ignored the lot. I

I hope we don't get Costa he was horrid.

So angry, so close to the final, and with our rubbish strikers I can't believe how well the team has done they really deserved something and what the **** is Torres doing not celebrating??? Have you been purposely playing. *****

Bring back Courtois and Lukaku and sign Costa or Cavani in the summer. An additional midfielder to play with Matic and we're all set for next season.

[Starman60 1,343]

You might as well put a stick in the goal and still it would have had no difference with Schwarzer and get the same result! It was when I really realized Schwarzer is so fucking old!

Cahill, he was so gutless he should not appear in public at least a week! What an embarrassing performance by him. It was like he gonna shit himself any minute.

The rest of the defense were so shaky and nervous as well you don’t expect a team with the bus to perform like that!

Hazard and Eto’o 2 injured sub’s fucked us epically. Hazard with the defensive mistake and Eto’o with PK and it was game over.

It’s apparent other than parking the bus or two we have no clue of playing football!

It’s unreal how we managed to reach semi-final of the UCL. Atletico should be in final and they are there rightly so. We belong where we belong.

That's it, you're dead right, Cahill will be sold off as he has been absolutely useless this season, Schwarzer never really wanted to play for Chelsea, it's a step-down in his career and he LET them score three tonight, as for the rest of the Chelsea team, well maybe we should sell them all because they gave us nothing this season. We have been a disgrace, beaten by a little Spanish team called Athletico, who just may go on to win the Spanish league as well as the European cup.

Can you just not accept defeat gracefully?. On the night we were second best thats all. Leave the players alone, they played their hearts out to a man.

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

Europe's best teams are going to Lisbon. Should be an entertaining Final.

Fair play to Atleti, they are a great team, trained by such a passionate coach. It's like seeing Mourinho in his early days again. They were the better team and I hope they will do the double this season.

Well, for Chelsea it was good while it lasted. Overall, this was a nice season, filled with some great stories and nights. Jose is back, the team raised the bar again in the EPL and I'm looking forward to the next season.

Busy summer coming, I feel.

Onwards and upwards!

Players generally don't celebrate when they score against former clubs. Ronaldo, Reus, Gotze, Podolski, etc. It's respect.

Eto gains possession then your player falls. No penalty.

From that angle doesn't look like a pen.

First of all, congratulations to Atletico Madrid who have been absolutely outstanding this season, tip my hat off to them and will be rooting for them in the final.

Second, defensive mistakes did us in today obviously - two from Hazard not tracking back with his man twice, but in my opinion when you start 6 defenders on the pitch I don't think it's a necessity that Hazard needs to track his man back so deeply into the box. Simeone got Mourinho on that when - attacked our left lane very well knowing that Hazard's defending isn't his strongest point (he shouldn't have to be defending that deep at all to begin with but that's a different discussion all together) and they reaped the rewards.

A lot of people on here were underestimating the value of an Atletico away goal or an away goal for us in the first leg but it just goes to highlight how important that away goal in the first leg could've been for us. Had we got an away goal in Madrid, even if they scored here we wouldn't have been as rattled as we were. We started panicking when they scored and because of that and the need to score a goal, we left ourselves open to Atletico's counter attacking game and they came away with a result they thoroughly deserved.

Simeone definitely got one over Mou today - he beat us at our own game. Mourinho's plan unfortunately backfired today. I know Mou's hands were somehow tied in midfield especially (in consideration to how he wanted to play - with 3 in midfield) but to put Azpi there was a huge gamble that didn't work. I still can't quite fathom how he did not play Oscar who can definitely play a more withdrawn role and do a job defensively... Whilst also providing extra impetus going forward. We were set to counter with a 4-3-3 formation but didn't have the appropriate tools to do so. We should've started the game trying to put our foot down rather than letting Atletico settle. Also to sub on Eto'o played right into Simeone's hand - essentially reducing a man for us in midfield which allowed Atletico to take the initiative even more. He should've brought on Oscar instead which is what I thought he'd do but unfortunately he didn't.

But then again, that's football, you can't win them all. Barring a miracle in the EPL; on to next year where we hopefully sign up the correct players in those key positions that we lack in (LB, CM and ST) and we'll give it a go again.

KTBFFH.

[Beepu 1,714]

Well I guess that's what people get for being ridiculously over confident that we'd be in the Final. Underestimating Atletico and overestimating us.

Great sportsmanship by Atletico at the final whistle btw. Congrats. Gonna be an interesting Madrid Derby in the Final I guess....

Haha it seems that we win when everyone think we won't and vice versa.

i think he touched him with his leg...

[CHOULO19 24,332]

You see what is getting really annoying its when we win, its because of Jose. When we lose.... And the group stages this year is a million time easier then last years.

Not really the point. The team has over-achieved simply by reaching this semifinal, so us going out tonight is not a "failure" you would pin on someone.

You of course have the right to criticize Jose and blame him for tonight's result, and some have indeed done so, but that is completely different from cynical knee-jerk crap like "No bus parked, no win. Jose is a genius!" which is far from constructive criticism, not really thought through, and frankly makes us look fickle plastics.

If you want to criticize the manager who has led us this far, even though this is not the time for it, at least construct a proper argument.
