Really hope you're right, normally I'd hope for Chelsea to win but tonight and Robben/Ribery last night shows how diving and rolling around gets results, all the furore over A.Young at the weekend as well and they put in that kind of 'show'

Damn
Nasty, horrible football and I hope Barca spank them 5-0 next week.
What? Chelsea were excellent and deserved their win. Do you think Barcelona automatically deserve to win games because they play pretty football? Get real.
Barcelona have a plan A, nothing more, and tonight it didn't work.
I want Drogba sent off.
Drogba, 'We've learnt how to Dive better and let the ball drop to Busquets instead of Iniesta in the 93rd minute.'
For what?

Unbelievable Chelsea performance tonight. I am so bloody happy! We took our chance, we defended incredibly well, and there was a lot of energy and spirit amongst the whole team.
Meireles' inability to pass the ball properly, and Kalou's continued crapness was frustrating though.
Bring on the second leg!

'Chelsea defended well'
Can't say I agree with the above, their tactic seemed to be to crowd out Barcelona by playing a sort of 4 5 1 0 formation and then only really sending Drogba forward.
Barcelona just out played, and were better in every aspect of that football game then Chelsea.
Drogba, is a disgrace to English football. Chelsea fans should be ashamed of him.

Indeed. Some people seem to think it should be the team with the most possession that wins

Barcelona didn't score.
Crossed the line
Also we gave them a nice chance at the end just to cheer Jose up, not our fault Eidur couldn't take it.
Constant diving/feigning injury/time wasting
And when has a player ever been sent off for that?
To coin Baz's favourite line Drogba didn't go down once without contact tonight.
Not at all but there is a difference between defending and having no intention of even playing football which Chelski had for 90 minutes. They happened to get lucky with a goal which proves football is indeed a funny old game but when they try that next match I pray they will get spanked because I don't want to watch that **** everytime I tune into a CL broadcast.
They didn't concede against a full strength Barcelona attack, I'd class that as defending well.
Of course Barcelona were better, they'll always be better, but the best footballing team doesn't always win.
FTFY
Chelsea got lucky, don't hate them for that, dislike the way everyone thinks they defended better than most teams against Barca, they just got lucky.
But yes, hate Drogba.
