I can't comment personally as I didn't see the game but have been told that Drogba and Anelka were both guilty of their share of acting throughout the match.
Is this correct?

Well, if that was the case Drogba would be suspended for about 100 years.
Should have been given, but there were lots of players in the way. This much was proven. No, Essien was not booked.
Penalty every day of the week, firstly, it was obstruction, secondly, he had his arm across Malouda's throat. Malouda turned him twice, one by keeping it in, the second by pulling it back across in the box, at this point he was definitely fouled.
I'm sure they tried. But the penalties they earned would have helped. Those penalties came from Chelsea pushing forwards.
Because Drogba was going around limping, at that moment Hiddink had to make a choice. Do you play someone who is limping around and looks knackered, or put fresh legs up, put the striker on the Right Wing up top and put Belletti a right sided wing-back on the wing. The tactical change was on the money.
Negative? Are you kidding me? Barcelona knocked the ball around and did nothing. Chelsea had the most clinical chances tonight (and the best chance a week ago) and had 2 clear scoring chances blocked by handballs in the box.
Your comments here actually make me question whether you watched the game at all, or whether you talk rubbish to elicit a response. You're probably one of these people who go on and on about Barcelona being this and that, or perhaps the same for Arsenal and their pass, pass, pass, do nothing style which Barcelona did over two legs. In both games Barcelona only had Iniesta working in the middle, Xavi, Eto'o and Messi were bystanders, flashing wasted balls and hollywood shots over the bar.
But hey-ho, Chelsea's 'negative style' of getting the ball forward by breaking, working the keeper and creating cances obviously paled compared to the totally 'positive style' of Barcelona failing to get shot after shot on goal. Again.
Or, perhaps, it's just possible that Barcelona really aren't all that and actually DO play in a weak league where it's easy to score.
As a side note, two great goals tonight.
I think Drogba summed it up pretty well, a disgrace.
One of the biggest games this season and they ship in some clown from Norway to referee it, a League 1 referee could have done a better job.
Well I suppose Seth Blatter will be happy that it's not another all English final.

They had nothing on Dani Alves. Anelka didn't come on til late and can't remember him doing anything. Drogba is Drogba.
Perhaps the Chavs forgot to do their usual Evening Standard advertisment for tickets.
That was so good to watch, best few minutes of tele in years.

UEFA regulations mean that a bunch of seats can't be sold, I forget the reasoning for it. The game WAS a sell out though.
Yes, and Malouda and Belletti, I even saw Lampard going over once or twice. When did the big strong men of chelsea turn into diving cheats? Essien must think they're pansies
A troll ?
The truth hurts I suppose when you discount the facts to only suite yourself ...
errm you serious they have always been that way

You forgot to mention how many shots on goal Barca's 'positive style' of football created.
One, wasn't it?
Barca are only a good team if their opposition fear them, we didn't and showed exactly how overrated they are, Man Utd won't fear them either.
Your comments are so retarded i won't even bother replying.
Yes very very happy indeed..well definitely after Arsenal got their backsides handed to them.
Am glad its going to be a Barca and Man Utd final...thats mouth watering and i really hope Barca give Utd a thorough spanking but i still feel that Utd might sneak another win. Hopefully Barca will have Henry, Puyol and Marquez back.
As for the penalties??..sure the handball should have been given but thats football for you...sometimes you dont get the right calls...lots of teams in the past have suffered from bad refereeing..
Drogba at the end just make me laugh...plonker with the way he was carrying on
. Looks like he will be punished for it and good..shouldnt act like a class a idiot tbh.
But all in all very happy with it being Barca and Utd in the final..couldnt bear another Chelski and Utd final.

You spurs fans really do hate chelsea don't you
I said I didn't see the match.
I'm just happy Arsenal are out of it.
Couldn't care less who wins it now.
Having two banks of four behind the ball and then counter attacking isn't negative? What would be negative then? Putting the ball out for throw ins when they got it?
