Chelsea v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[villajk]

Back at base in London.

Cracking game.  I'm still on that roller coaster ride.  Well done Villa, that's the Villa we know and love.

Thought the referee was awful.

In fact I think he was somebody who knows nothing about the rules of the game who'd sneaked into the referees dressing room and stole the black suit.

How the devil did he give us 6 yellows in the first half and only 1 to them?   Truly dreadful refereeing.

When I start my celebratory drink later, I'll have an extra one to drown my sorrow of the poor refereeing - any excuse!

oh and I apolgise to my 5 year old son , for runing up to the TV at 3-3 and giving John Terry one of the biggest wanking signs ever..   I just got abit emotion son......   

Review of Chelsea goals.

1 Undeserved penalty and 2 shots turned in following saves.  Hardly bad defending.

Must admit I thought it was a penalty.  Also thought it was a really stupid challenge from Collins. to the 3rd.

If the striker doesn't jump and it's not due to the centre half holding him down, he's making a back for the defender and that's a foul, that's what happnened, it should have been a free kick to us.

Agree completely - Collins never took his eyes off the ball - Malouda backed in.

Did you all fail to notice that Collins had physically raised himself off the floor, such was his success in climbing up the back of Malouda?

Collins jumped, Malouda didn't, that's a free kick to the defender. Collins didn't have his hands on the striker, it was a clean jump.

You are probably correct in relation to the laws of the game, but what you fail to notice is that our player jumped onto their player, and as far as i know, that is not allowed.

I want to watch this tonight, I'm adamant it wasn't a penalty, from the angle I was at Collins jumped bloody high, no hands on him, Malouda went down under the weight, half heartedly backing into Jimbo.

According to the TV stats, two thirds of our fouls in the first half were worthy of a booking compared to Chelsea's one ninth.

Make of it what you will.

David Pleat - can't get out of first gear, as usual

Nob, any footage of him running onto the Maine Rd pitch

Sky was no better the commentator was saying 'Cuellar should of handled the ball for their equaliser.......... I couldn't believe it!

Pleat. Plumbing new depths of stupidity.

I think it was a pen, it was clumsy defending by Collins

Rio Ferdinand just put this on Twitter...

"How are villa where they are in the league after playing that way against us and cfc...quality young players as well.."

[Toronto Villa]

Highlight was Randy and Doug celebrating that equaliser

Is there a clip of that somewhere? Doug laughing was brilliant.

Is that Capello next to Doug?

Yes it is.

It probably isn't him, but the lad the row in front looks a bit like Hitzlsperger  as well.

I think it is Tommy, you know.

it's definitely der Hammer. He really is Villa.

[Lambert and Payne]

And they say Randy dont care about the Villa? Fantastic fight back today brilliant, lets get 3 wins outta 3 and our season looks a whole lot better!! Remember O'Dreary's first season?

[WikiVilla]

I've always thought he was a great bloke, that Rio................

[Dribbler]

Colins jumped, Malouda didn't, so Colins jumped slightly over the back of Malouda, but Malouda then also backed in, so when Colins came down he was slightly on top of Malouda, not enough to take him down though, that required all of the muscles in his legs to suddendly give way as though someone had just shot 50 volts up his arse. I'm not sure where Colins' finger was, but i'm pretty sure it wasn't there. Not a penalty IMO.

[Shrek]

Chelsea made 10 fouls PER BOOkING

Villa made 2 fouls per booking!

I can't get over how bad the ref was,

Someone with twitter tell Rio 13 first teamers injured is why!

Spotter's badge for me then.  He didn't look that delighted to be fair, maybe his pleasure was tempered by the fact that our result is bad for his current employers.

Hey Rio!

Fuck off!
