Chelsea (1) v PSG (1) ko 7.45

super_furry

Getting to see the difference between Guardiola and Mourinho as managers here. Both up against teams down to 10 for most of the match, only one team tried to win the game.

Apart from the stick on peno in the first half, still never mind Liverpool might even qualify for the CL next season again still won't get to the knock out stages though even from a really easy group. We will be in the knock out stages as normal again next season no fear.

Whats that got to do with tonights game?

An unexpected excellent Wednesday evening all around

Glad the right team won. The ref did everything he could to hand the game to Chelsea.

Graham Souness [quite rightly] tore Chelsea to shreds on Sky.

Apart from putting the league down, you would not hear managers like Mourinho be assessed and criticised like the RTE lads do.

No way.

United have always been a team you could respect even if you don't support them. They are pretty much the complete opposite of Chelsea.

Chelsea represent a lot of what is bad in football today. Win at all costs, even if it involves blatant cheating. Surrounding referees, trying to get players booked and sent off. A manager who has become a parody of himself and numerous players who are just snide.

In all my years watching football I don't think there has been a less respectable team than Mourinho's Chelsea sides, the current one especially.

Huge over reaction to the way Chelsea played. They did play to a point,but were over cautious. They didn't need to score to win, it's understandable to a point to spoil game and be tight.
What I had a issue with was the cheating and diving of the Chelsea players,and it was all encouraged by Jose. He calls it being ''clever'' .
He doesn't look clever now !

The very fact that ABU is an accepted and well recognized term whereas ABC isn't proves that United are the most hated team in England.

Or perhaps most widely hated is more accurate. I suppose it's what way you mean "most hated"

Are you honestly saying Man U in their prompt never surrounded and intimidated refs do grow up they were famous for it

MojoRisinnnn

Couldn't happen to a nicer crowd, Mourinho's comments about PSG' league game against Lens was disrespectful and made him look even less classy which I didn't think would be possible so **** Chelsea,**** Abramovich and **** Mourinho. Goodnight London.

Sour grapes is what id suggest the majority of your post was. As for the peno, it was nailed on but it was never a red and Costa should have gone for at least a second yellow.

Yeah that penalty he gave for the foul on Costa really hurt PSG.








Oh wait he didn't give the penalty for a clear foul in the box.

Maybe I did. I assumed you were saying that Hamann was on Sky. And actually, tonight the panel on Sky was pretty damning in their criticism of Chelsea. The playacting of Oscar when Ibrahimovic was red carded, the crowding of the ref, Mourinho moaning about PSG wasting time when his own side did exactly the same at Anfield last season, Costa going out to wind up opposition players, etc etc. Along with slagging off the quality of PL football generally. I was surprised at their frankness tonight. But fair play to them; they were spot on.

Mourinhio wrote PSGs team talk saying Chelsea have harder training sessions than their game in France at the weekend.

Mourinho needs to rethink his use of Catenaccio against half-decent sides. It's ridiculous watching a side of talented players perform as if they'd been transported from Italy in the 1960's or 1970's.

People slated Guardiola for being a one trick pony, Mourinho is fast becoming the same.

United were successful enough to justify an ABU. Chelsea haven't been.

ABU was (is) because United won so much. Chelsea aren't hated because of their trophy count which is relatively modest in the grand scheme of things.

Nice night for Luiz and Thiago silva after the nightmare they had at the world cup. 2 great headed goals. Delighted for mourinho after all the nonsense he has been coming out with the past few months. It takes a special individual to make arsenal, liverpool and utd fans on the SF unite in their happiness. Well played Jose.

I don't think that has anything to do with Mourinho, its to do with them being the last English team to win the Champion's league and almost always being in contention to win the Premier league title and the domestic cups.

It's of no surprise that this example is posted because I bet it's the only one you actually have.

The two clubs are chalk and cheese, and I say that as someone who supports Liverpool.

Also, correct me if I am wrong but that Keane incident was not to try and get a player booked or sent off as far as I remember.

Monday night was pretty poor spectacle from United what with all the diving and harassment of the ref.

The other night, Di Maria incident before being sent off looked eerily similar

No it didn't ffs! :pac:

Also in that case the player who dived got sent off. In this case the innocent party was sent off thanks to blatant cheating from Oscar and subsequent disgraceful scenes from the rest of the Chelsea team. Honestly, anyone who doesn't think that was an absolute joke tonight is either clueless or being deliberately obtuse.

This. Utd dominated the league for 10 years. Even Cantona wasn't anything like Costa who has become a caricature of himself. If he had concentrated solely on his job tonight, (which I hope was to score goals) I think he could have bagged one or two. That is his specialty, that's what he's paid the big bucks for. I like him which is why I criticise him.

Wow...serious deja vu in here...am I in the man utd v arsenal thread??

Why would it hurt? I am not a United fan. You've used used one high profile incident that wasn't the same situation at all to try and prove your insane point.

Not at all like Di Maria or Januzaj. In those cases the players who cheated got sent off and booked respectively.

But they tried to get other players in trouble but like United lately failed miserably
