hahaha....ONE RIIISSSSE, THERES ONLY ONE RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSE..
I was shocked by the attitude of a lot of chelseas players, they were playing like they didnt give a damn. Im not quite sure what it is exactly that Grant means when he talks about 'giving players freedom to play' because it very clearly isnt working at all and the team just look unprofessional.

twas a pretty s*** game to bew honest. Exactly as Jonney Giles prodicted...Scrappy
No real fluency...no shots worth much...Kuyts goal was good and sure Riise was a bit of a laugh but that's nothing new lol

What the fuckin hell was Riise doing? Why did he attemp to head it from that range? Unbelievable. Also the ref went over the 4 minutes whhile the ball was over near the corner flag. Sets up an exciting second leg though.

Sets up an exciting second leg though. i think the ball went out at about 93:57, so you cant really blame the ref for that. |

yet again it was another pretty drab game between these two teams I turned off in trhe 3rd minute of injury time so had no idea Chelsea had equalised and was certainly very supprised when i heard the result.
