The real problem with the Chelsea Barcelona game wasn’t so much the diving for me as it was the tactics of Chelsea. It is the reason I am an Arsenal fan through and through. Ever since Wenger came in to the club, Arsenal have played football the way it should be, with passing and movement that could arguably be the best in the world, even when it doesn’t provide them with wins or silverware, as it hasn’t the past four years. Chelsea went into the game against Barcelona and just sat 10 men in deep and hoped they could keep Barcelona from scoring. Yes, this may give them the upperhand in the tie, and they only must produce a one goal win at home, but they buy arguably the best players in the world each transfer window and don’t have the courage to play like they would against any team in the Prem. Playing for a draw is okay in some instances, but when your payroll to your players is as high as Chelsea’s is, there should never be such a lack of ambition to try to keep the ball and win a game rather than simply not losing it.

Guess what? Regardless of your problems with the voting system, Giggs still won. And also, you have nothing to do with this award so get over it. “OH KAY”?

They’re not exactly comp’ed Kyle but I get your point.

For many clubs and fans, the FA Cup is the biggest game of the year and the allocation should reflect this.

Whilst many of the 40,000 other tickets will be paid for, they will be so by people who don’t really care that much or by real fans who will have been fleeced by the touts who get their tickets from the ‘football family’ year in, year out.

Agreeing with you there Aussie Lad, when I see him take tumble now it’s a real ‘hand-on-the-forehead’ moment; like ‘Come on Didier! You were doing so well! I almost respected you!’

I had no idea that was the case for tickets for the final, how in Gods name do the expect to break even on the construction costs for Wembley if they’re comp’ing almost half the seats! Joke!

To be honest, i didn’t think Drogba has been as bad simulation wise as of late. But he does have his moments…

Would agree that Drogba did his fair share last night but at least he has a roll around after a challenge.

The first two times Alves fell in a heap the nearest Chelsea player was in Madrid!!

Alves? have you watch Chelsea play lately? Drogba. Watching him play is histerically funny, he clutches any part of his body as soon as a challenge is made on him. I think this would become frustrating to those players around him wanting to get on with the game. I understand that late in the game this can be used as “tactics” but he does it way to often to be considered that. He is a fine, skillful player who can score brilliant goals but he would do so much better for himself and his team if he kept the ball moving along and stayed up.

Dani Alves was real actor last night I have to say but that is what we learn in South America,
But the guy doesn’t stop running the commentators in Spain call him MotoGP.
