I always thought there are no bigger c*** than Ferdinand, but today make me convinced I think I have found one in Skrtel. He is the player with clear as day intention from the beginning want to provoke Chelsea players, especially Costa, using every way possible.

I am okay with it if its just 2 or 3 attempt, but this is the whole match, with Costa, Courtois, etc. It's childish, unnecessary and ugly imo. If it is not categorized against a so called fair play, I don't know what it is.

I usually think Michael Oliver does a decent job but he was a train wreck today. Couldn't pull the trigger on any major decisions. Exciting game to watch...WEMBLEY!!!

No Tinshe in this thread?

I was asking for Ramires from the start, but glad to see him in the second half. Sounds like he's close to fully fit as well. Almost guaranteed he'll be in the squad for City.

I was also begging for Hazard through the middle and looks like I got that too towards the end of the match. We really need to consider moving him permanently in the middle.

that was clearly an us against the world performance tonight! Everyone outside of the Chelsea faithful(though there were a few negative Nancy's who made me think they were hoping Chelsea lost) wanted to see us knocked out. The FA's campaign against Chelsea is clearly going full throttle just ahead of the City game(if we win that game someone is gonna get fired). Some of the decisions today were nothing short of shocking!!!

Emre Can - had about 3-4 cynical challenges and only got booked in the final dying minutes of the game. Why was he not booked earlier you ask? Well its simple he had to deal with Hazard all game and if he picks up that deserved yellow their 3 at the back ploy is down to 2.5 in the back. Hazard had a field day anyway but that would've been a massacre.

Srktl - hw h plyd th whl gm wtht sng rd s bynd m!! Clear penalty in the box. Went right through a few players with no foul called.

Lucas Leiva - How blatant does one have to be and not get sent off? two CLEAR yellow card offenses and five fouls in all produce 1 yellow and no warnings.

Jordan Henderson - (See Lucas Leiva) I guess hard man left his big talk back at merseyside....

Michael Oliver had one of the worst refereed games I've ever seen and that takes some doing! Its a fucking cup semi final!!! Grow a pair of balls!! He was clearly given instructions from the FA not to fuck this up for Liverpool. On many occasions his view wasn't obstructed and he just ignored obvious penalty appeals and clear yellow card offenses. There was an incident in the first half as well that went unnoticed by every Sky commentator and also Phil Dowd where behind the play Luis said something to Markovic and Markovic clearly, right in front of the benches puts both his hands in Luis' face. Nothing is done at all...

If we win titles in England this year it will be against the will of the FA. How many decisions have gone against us wrongly this year? And don't give me that "it will balance out" shit either! Sky's programming after todays match was Football's Greatest - Steve Gerrard... It is clear they had it in their mind Liverpool was going to win tonight. The pundits in the booth chose to harp on Diego's 'stomp' on Can when clearly at full speed it was accidental(Can moved his leg when Costa had his already in the air and wasn't looking at him) Not the obvious two penalties that went uncalled.

in the end I don't give two shits; they're basically manipulating results because they know we could and could've ran away with it.

end rant

lets get Man City.

Us against the world. Fuck em, let's go Chelsea!

now watch liverpool bend over and spread their cheeks for west ham on the weekend

Ramires was the one breaking everything up. His legs in the midfield we definitely needed today

This is true, but I wish his decision making was a little better in the box. He had a couple of great opportunities to look for the assist for a better go at goal, but instead flailed away at a shot. But beyond those instances, you are spot on. He looked so much quicker today than anyone else. Now I know why he is so fast on FIFA 14 and 15. He did make a difference tonight.

Ya think, Gary? Honestly, glad to see someone in the press seeing the picture more clear.

He's not perfect but he IS indispensable to the team. Perfect squad player... And for a guy that hasn't played a lot of football this year, to come in and get into those positions to score is HUGE. His finishing will improve with more repetition.

Thierry Henry with the line of the post match! "You always feel you're gonna beat Chelsea... Then you don't" hahahaha

Clearly aimed at that scouse cunt redknapp

[Milan 17,887]

A game of two Belgian goalkeepers. And Diego Costa. I am not sure about my feelings towards him if he was playing for an opponent BUT he is ours and I love him to bits! He is a proper lion with this never give up attitude. This 'cuntishnes' in him is something we failed to have with Torres. That was just a pus*y.

Bloody hell that was nerve wrecking but we booked the Wembley date! And beating scousers is always brilliant, let alone in the semis. Bring on Citeh.

[iceman 329]

any view? with both Costa's accidents desirable

[didierforever 7,349]

yyyyyyeesssssss!!! not a very convincing performance especially in the first half but a 1-0 is always good when it is against those cunts.

courtois - saved our ass, simple as that. we would have lost the tie 5-2 or something is it had not been for him. his command of the box is brilliant as is his reading of the game.

iva - very por performance but got the all important goal. the number of time he got owned by sterling was embarassing. hope filipe is fit cos azpi-luis should be starting against city.

zouma - MOTM for me. was a rock. made a mistake when he got caught under the ball but recovered very well. except for that did not put a foot wrong. you could see he was nervous and i remember he cleared the ball when sterling was some 10 yards away from him but considering this was his first "big" match, i cant place that over him. hope he continues this way. GC needs to get out of his comfort zone.

JT - decent. thought he was poor in the first half but got back well.

luis - a few of the players who could have held their head up high even in the first half. hopefully his injury is not anything serious.

cesc - "he tends to be bad in the second half of the season" was what my barca-fan friends had said and i must say, that assessment is looking right on the mark. was nowhere to be seen. defensively, offensively, absolutely nothing. the game just passed him by.

matic - had a brilliant game. his runs were brilliant. broke up a lot of attacks and covered well for JT and iva.

hazard- pathetic in the first half. dint get the ball but as soon as the game opened up he was running the show. should have passed it to costa a couple of times rather than sticking with the ball.

oscar - his consistency to be hopelessly inconsistent is a thing of marvel. i mean the number of times he lost the ball in the last third, just amazing. if he keeps up this way, sooner or later we might have to even think of buying a CAM too.

willian - LOLOLOL. please sell schurrle and salah and bring back moses for god's sake. i seriously cant say how moses is any poor than willian in attack.

costa- was a nuisance. would be lucky to not get a ban. his stomps were poor and he seemed more eager to get one over skrtel than actually helping the team score a goal.

subs-

rambo - changed the match. was the main reason for the change in the dynamics. for the life of me i cant think of a reason he dint start yesterday. we need his legs in the mid in big matches. yes, he did misplace a couple of hopelessly simple passes but the number of breakdown of plays, his own breaking towrds the end of the game to always provide an out and his covering of defence were very good. i remember oscar losing the ball on the right wing with iva ahead of him. sterling ran at our defence and crossed the ball just outside of the box only for rambo to intercept and there were many instances like that. he should start against city even if cesc is fit.

azpi - awesome as always. his interceptions and steals always meant that we could counter and dint have pool putting a siege.

all in all, brilliant result. cup final and hopefully we can beat city and be 8 points ahead. that would be a perfect week.
