CL Final: United -v- Chelsea

LostinBlanch

Ah Trilla (and others),

we won, let's enjoy it and stop the sniping for one day at least. Feel the love man, feel the love.

But you are right about Tevez doing exactly what Chelsea did earlier on.

True but Fergie started from almost nothing, Utd had been drifting along as a big club with nothing but a few FA Cups for a long time. Paisley took over from Shankly and Liverpool were already at the top of the pile. Thats to take little away from Paisley, you didn't win 3 european cups and 6 league titles without being an outstanding manager.

Paisley....

Drogba was unfortunate to go-off for a slight raise of the hand, and the whole melee was instigated by Tevez's gamesmanship in not knocking the ball back to the keeper and asking his Man Utd colleagues to pressurise Chelsea in that corner.

Chelsea did the exact same thing twice I think

you're right boss... you're right. My emotions are all over the place! I feel the love again its okay. blood pressure decreasing

Fair enough Trilla. Just enjoy this feeling. I couldn't enjoy it last night. Waaaaaay to tense, all I felt at the end was relief.

But now . . . . . .

Trilla how is saying someone ran their socks off (12k on teh stat) with very little penetration constitute praise? I thought cole was poor last night, didn't do a huge amount with the ball and in general was a moan. That said a few times for goal kicks, corners and throws he had reason to moan. So I'm not sure where your coming from there.

Yes I did say Rooney was poor but in my opinion I don't understand why everyone is saying he was poor last night. For the past few years all I've heard is Rooney wasn't at his best today. I disagree. I think last night he was as he is. How can we expect so much more from a player that hasn't shown anymore in years. Another product of the brittish hype academy.

I dunno why but this popped into my head just now, was there any trouble last night in Moscow?

havent heard anything personally yet but im still trying to make myself get out of bed and go to work! if only i could leave my head and stomach at home, then it would be easy!!

Agree I was with a fellow 'fan' last night and he kept going on about how crap Ronaldo is in the end I told him to STFU and just enjoy the moment mightn't happen again for ages. Anyway there I was giving out about how unfair it is to decide such a major sporting event on penalties and how United never win a penalty shoot out when Terry missed. Happy days.

Here is a couple of emails i have got sorry if posted before, other pictures blocked in work.

Okay fair enough. I'll be honest. He just got on my nerves last night. A bit like how Ronaldo would have got on others nerves 2 years ago. The Dive, the moan etc. Yeah that goalkick decision went against him, funny response rubbin the head... He just bugged me last night.

I'm sure it's been mentioned before but I have to say I'm glad for Terry. His attitude is brutal and is always hounding the ref. But the main reason I'm glad for the phucker is seeing him spit in Tevez's face while pretending to wipe his nose after Drogba was sent off. Dirty kunt.

mike65

Just a word for the fans who were there last night - not a word about bother so far. Well done, though I'm willing to guess the expense getting to and "atmosphere" of Moscow helped.

Im sorry but for all the nay sayers saying Chelsea were the better team, it was a very tight game, could have gone either way but the stats show that United edged the important ones. United dominated the first half and made it count. Chelseas goal was a fluke against the run of play. Chelsea dominated the second half but didnt make it count. United also failed to fluke a goal. Extra time United were the slightly better team as they attacked more. The best chances fo the game were created by United, how Giggs,Tevez (twice) and Carrick didnt score Ill never know:

Manchester United Team Statistics Chelsea
1 - Goals - 1
1 - 1st Half Goals - 1
5 - Shots on Target - 1
5 - Shots off Target - 18
3 - Blocked Shots - 6
5 - Corners - 8
22 - Fouls - 25
1 - Offsides - 2

And actually, while I'm on the subject did any of the commentators mention this filthy act? It was clearly caught on camera and the whole scene was replayed plenty of times but I didn't hear any commentator mention it. Anywho, thankfully Tevez got the last laugh...

Particularly Terry, the laws of soccer were written with one rule for him and a different one for everyone else.

Firstly as a united fan, I'm very very hungover .

Secondly united you have had 3/4 goals in the first half, I think getting 2 would have killed the game. Great work by Brown and Scholes and a fantastic finish by Ronaldo.

After about 35 mins Chelsea really controlled the game. Rooney wasnt good. Tevez, Vidic were immense for me. Terry made some good interventions. Drogba was missing for the game and what an idiot to strike Vidic. I see that as a key turning point as he surely would have put a penalty away. Though Chelsea were unlucky with hitting the wood work twice.

Terry, I just dont like him, greta player but he just looks like a chav. I feel for him though having missed a penalty myself he's probably still crying. Anelka -> Waster he'll be off to Marseilles or someone.

Ferguson was also delighted for Paul Scholes, who broke his nose in a clash with Claude Makelele but carried on to erase the disappointment of 1999 when he missed the final through suspension.

Ferguson said: “The disappointment of ’99 has gone now for him. He was very groggy at half-time and we had to give him some tablets.

Scholes = Legend

From http://www.breakingnews.ie/sport/mhgbcwsngbgb/

I would have liked Scholes to last the entire match and for Park to make an appearance.

Over all Chelsea played better but a bit of bad luck cost them the game.

Chelsea did play better, they just couldnt stick the ball in the net with the chances they created!

Grant or none of the Chelsea players offered Congrats to United last night. Chelsea were given a guard of honour by Utd. players when they went to get their medals.
I just think Chelsea are absolutely classless!

They hit the post twice from snap shots, otherwise they didnt create much, just dominated possession.

United created the better chances.

Tbh I dont give a rats ass how we did it whether we dominated, were dominated, scored with our asssses etc, it doesnt matter.


WE'RE THE CHAMPIONS OF EUROUPE AND NOBODY CAN TAKE THAT AWAY FROM US.

Drogba hit the post, Terry hit the post with his peno, that's the difference between winning and losing, a very even game won on a knife-edge of luck, two great teams

Thats an excellent point, united gave them the guard of honour, Scholes commiserated with them before celebrating and United players acknowledged Chelskis efforts and got no grace in return.


Plus why o why did Kenyon get a medal? Sir Bobby refusing a medal was great, the guy is a hero!

have people seen this yet
Apologies if this is like the 20th time today, but has to be done

Nah its not the 20th.....more like the 21st

Lads chelsea players were all congratulating udt players, but ye;ll see what ye want i guess. Fair play to Paul Scholes, seen him consoling Terry and the team for the guard of honour. If only their supportors were as gratious in victory. Any way well done utd, best team in Europe this year.

iregk

I've no idea what game most were watching because after the match Chelsea did congratulate the united players. I saw it for a good while on the cameras the Chelsea players offering congratulations.

I have to admit though when I saw Kenyon going up for a medal I did think what the hell is that tool doing up there.

Also love the way the rules we had last year (bans) for when people called Gary Neville a scum bag, (I got banned for it myself), seem to go out the window when it comes to Drogba, Terry and pretty much anyone from Chelsea. Double standards?

Lampard or Grant didnt congratulate united in their post match interviews!!!

Who's crying. I'm simply pointing out the double standards of boards. If you slag a united player you get a banning but anyone else is fair game.

Also I know everything will be alright. Coming 2nd in the league and a CL final only to loose on pens is a hell of a good season for a club in turmoil. I for one am happy at the outcome of our season. No shame at all in loosing on penalties.

Kenyon was the club representive just like Bobby Charlton was representing his club.

Would you all be full of praise for the opposition if you went 120 minutes in a CL final (The biggest match of the season) then lost it on penaltys when you could and should have won it?
I dont think so, i wouldnt, easy for me to say as a Chelsea fan but i cant see how anyone would be.

He won the first one within 90 minutes.

Stoppage time is what the TV stations add on as they dont stop there watch. The ref stops his, and plays 90mins. He doesn't go oh the 90mins are up sure we will play for a bit more for the craic.

Yeah like what the frick was that about? If they had won it still wouldn't have been appropriate for a guy in his position going up especially when he used to work with Man Utd.
I wasn't following it that closely, but maybe was he collecting Drogbas medal (didnt see if Drogba went up for his one?)

OK in fairness you took his quote out of context.

If he has just wrote “Terry is a scumbag” then yes bannable, but he didn't he wrote agreeing with a poster that Chelsea are classless for apparently not congratulating United on the win (which neither Grant nor Lampard done) and that Terry is a scumbag for that. Also for apparently spitting on Tevez.

As I explained before 20 meadal are presented on the pitch/stadium.

One for the club -> represented by Kenyon/Charlton
Manager - > Grant/SAF
Players -> 11 starters and the 7 subs.

10 others are then given to the club to give out as they wish. Not sure if this is both clubs or just the winning club.

P.S grant took Drogbas medal, he was handed two.

He didnt spit on Tevez.

Would you be up going round congratulating Man United if you were a Chelsea player after last nights match?

Yeah, it's not enough to win, some fans also have to piss all over the losers. Now that's classless.

And you're also right on the Terry remark. There was no context in the post to excuse it. I reported it, did you?

Well the video certainly suggests he did.

A quick shake of the captains hand while you walked past him to get there runners up medals would have sufficed they didn't even recognise the Man U players at all. Two of them were interviewed (Lampard and Grant) and not one of them said as much as fair play to them, not even fair play they took there chance, nothing.

To be fair, that's not true. There is no mention of Terry in the post he referred.

Maybe they congratulated the sh1t out of them off camera.

Please try to enjoy the result without being a bad winner. Seriously, what do you need to be satisfied, that your club win and the opponents, defeated, are also hung drawn and quartered. If you can't take victory with grace, you must be a real delight when you lose.

Wow how did people not see chelsea players congradulating utd players? And grant and lamps just lost the cl on pens. They just answered what they were asked and left. Sorry the didnt drop to their knees and service evry utd player jesus. YE WON, BE HAPPY!
