heh, i'm annoyed we didnt win mainly because we had a chance to equalise in the 120th minute but the ref blew the whistle as kalou was in the box and about to shoot. Anyway... well done spurs, outplayed us, Grant chose the wrong team.
Kalou missed the whistle had allready gone but he hit the post and out towards the goalie stupid chelsea supporter doesn't know when hes beat
Stupid? im probably more intelligent than you'll ever be. i don't know if you read but i did say well done to spurs. I DO REALISE THAT WE WERE BEATEN YOU FUCKING DUMBASS. anyway drogba was there to get the rebound off the post.
Put your handbags down guys The laws of the game state that the only reason to prolong a game is if there is a penalty. Otherwise, the whistle can be blown at any time. You can clearly see Spurs players stopping and celebrating just before Kalou even gets the ball, so that ends that argument. I don't believe Spurs absolutely outplayed Chelsea, there were periods of time when each team was on top but overall I'd say the ressult was fair, and the game was really good to watch.

Usually though most referees seem to let the player have the shot. Spurs did outplay chelsea for alot of the game.I think grants team selection was wrong... which is why we lost the game.

If he wanted to get both his strikers in, should had gone with a 2/4/4. Ballack was playing really well too. -Petey

The Spurs are a great offensive team. <div align="center">Anelka ---- Drogba Ballack ------ Lampard Essien ---- Makelele</div> Similar formation to what Barcelona plays at times. -Petey
Thing is That none of those players are wingers, so they would play too narrow. Barcelona has Messi and Ronaldinho who are great down the flanks, but Ballack and Lampard can't do that. It's too awkward for them to ask Cole and Belletti to work the wings for 90 minutes whilst still trying to defend.

Ballack said something after. Would had looked foolish not to play Anelka. I read Makelele even spoke to Grant after about hot playing. -Petey
Grant was a bad choice i am glad that chelsea can't win trophies because teams like spurs can prosper and it would show foiergn owners like russians that it doesn't work some of the time
