Well that sucked. FA Cup the only thing left to play for now. Pretty gutless performance over the two legs. I don't know if it's fatigue or conservative tactics, but we look very ordinary at the moment.
God I hate Liverpool.

I always manage to plan my UK trips at the right time. In 2001 it was right after Hapoel Tel Aviv had knocked us out of the UEFA Cup. This time it's right after we've thrown away our chance at two pieces of silverware.
And it's time to burn my "rally scarf"!

The pouting is nice. I love this too:

I also enjoy the intellectual scaffolders from this show.
Well that's the second time in two years I've spent the evening cheering on Liverpool. That was a very harsh offside call, so it was fitting that Kuyt scored the winner. How I loved seeing Robben fluff it.
Arrogantio was wrong, Chelsea were not the better nor the stronger side. Liverpool were.
All English final?

BWAP, have you seen this? Possible legal action if West Ham stay up at another club's expense...

After the way Man Utd destroyed Roma in the last round, there was always a possibility that they would falter against Milan....these things seem to happen and the writing has been on the wall in the past few weeks with some stuttering prem performances.
In Chelsea's case, I think they've struggled (compared to the previous 2 seasons) for the simplest of reasons....no depth in the squad - esp at the back, which is absolutely bizarre IMHO.
Is that Mourinho's fault or Kenyon's or Roman's? I don't know. There have been rumblings that Mourinho was refused permission to sign new players. Whoever's at fault, it was tragic that a team that has cost so much money had to resort to playing a plyer as good as Essien (the most underrated midfielder intnhe country) as a centre half in a CL semi-final.
Chelsea were always going to struggle when they had injuries and I'm sure that the Liverpool hoodoo has got into the player's heads as well.

I don't know about that Jackson. I think our performances in the Prem have suffered from the lack of a decent central defender to back up Terry and Carvalho, but we only conceded one goal over the two legs against Liverpool and still lost. For me, it's more about the lack of an option B when Drogs is not scoring (and his production has dried up of late). Sheva has been, by any measure, a massive disappointment. Kalou has come along nicely, but will still sometimes drift out of matches. If I had my druthers, Sheva would be on his bike back to Italy and we would bring Crespo back for next season, whether he likes it or not. Will be nice having Cole back for an entire season. I don't know what to do about Robben. He can be electrifying when on form, but he only ever seems to turn it on for the Dutch national team. May be time to pack him off to Spain.

Point taken and i agree about the lack of a Plan B. But surely having Essien as a centre half is an indictment of the squad depth. A club like chelsea can afford to pay a decent centre half to sit on the bench (Huth?). If Essien had been in midfield, would Drogba not have had potentially more chances?

Yeah good point. We seem to play with little flow through midfield when Essien's not in there. Cole is good at making runs and picking other players out, but Lampard seems more content to take pot shots from the edge of the box (he was woeful against Liverpool). When Essien isn't there in the midfield making surging runs, and is instead back defending, we tend to hoof it over the top to Drogs.Jackson Monk wrote:Point taken and i agree about the lack of a Plan B.

Boula was supposed to be our cover, but he got injured and was not exactly scintillating when he was in there. I know it sounds ridiculous for Mourinho to whine about not having enough resources at his disposal, but one additional central defender could have made a big difference.
Puzzling season, satisfying in that we have gone so far in all competitions, but ultimately disappointing because we lost out on the big prizes. Strange to think that this season is disappointing when just a few years ago Chelsea were crashing out of the UEFA Cup to Hapoel Tel Aviv. It's all relative and I'll take it in stride.

You have to be pleased about Berbatov. I saw the highlights show last night with those two lovely pieces of skill from the Boro game. Value buy of the season for certain, though David James has to figure somewhere in there as well.
Anyone seen the plans for the new Pompey stadium? My buddy Tom is all excited about it. I pointed out that I thought it looked a bit like a urinal.![Smile :-)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Nice to see a different sort of design I must admit.

the whole of portsmouth is a urinal so it'll fit in.
so what would your preferred combination be, either
Boula at cb and cashley at lb
or
Gallas at cb and bridge at lb
Berbatov has looked good and it is therefore strange that TH have gone backwards from last season. They have never looked like getting in the top four this season despite berbatov, malbranque chimbonda etc.

We were talking about this today. I would rather that relegation be decided on the pitch rather than by someone in a board room.Who Shot Sam? wrote:BWAP, have you seen this? Possible legal action if West Ham stay up at another club's expense...

SLL is right - a urinal shaped stadium is perfect for Portsmouth.
