And if you actually noticed Milan hadn't preplanned to stay back, there is a clear difference in formation and attitude. But yes we struggle against Chelsea this is no secret. So what? Arsenal struggle against Stoke, doesn't mean Stoke are a better side. Chelsea are just the Stoke city of europe.
It was pre planned. Are u saying AC players in the middle of the match thought that our manager is stupid lets decide our own strategy as the mighty barca are making us look like kids. 3 different teams(inter,AC n chelsea) with different level of squad but with same idea. How do u expect to have same situation for all 3 games.
As for luck,a man down, we make our own 1 chance just when u score and that to a excellent goal by ramires and wonderful 1-2 with lampard. If thats luck so is the goal scored by barca.

Again this is an ignorant statement. Did you even watch the Benfica game? It was far more ridiculous that the Barca vs Chelsea game, unless you're looking at it with blue tinted glasses which you are. 3 clear decisions? What about Abidal sending off? What about Ballack not getting sent off in the first leg? Oh thats right, selective memory. RVP red card- and this is a perfect example of how only those kinds of decisions are scrutinised, did you see Puyol's red card at the emirates? That was ridiculous, did you see arsenal's offside goal? I bet you didn't. But Arsenal were far more classy post match than Chelsea.
I wld like someone neutral to have a look at both games n then let me know. For abidal,ballack that just makes it 1 incident right. I agree shit like that happens but not 3 clear decisions +2 which cld go to either side, thats my point. Can u give me a count of games were barca were undone. i will give u count of games other teams were facing barca.

And you are asking why does it only happens with Barcelona? You know why? because our manager doesn't cry like a baby in the press and take his balls home to his mom and so only the decisions we get in our favor are highlighted as our mangers don't make a huge fuss over decisions we don't get. Tsk tsk i thought you were better than that. Spoken like an english man who thinks every thing bad comes from the foreigners. I knew Barca weren't your second fav team i just had to get that out of you :p
Point
1 I am only loyal to my first team. my second favorite is the team that i currently like to follow. So if its barca now it can be some other team next.
2 haha all teams point out stuff that have gone against them its not just chelsea. Manu,arsenal etc. all teams do it so ur biased here. For that matter even barca do it. What was potato field. when psm mentions that u say we are not saying we lost because of that. ur contradicting urself. It has been mentioned because it has played a part.
barca may not highlight it like others do but they do that doesnt make it any better.
Managers give their views n the media hypes it in papaer. British media is like India, they like masala as well. So how come its clubs fault.
3 Did u see Zenit vs liverpool. If ur game was potato field theirs was rice paddy but dont know y i didnt see that comment.

And yeah i know SAF does his fair share of moaning and whinging but he's not close to the level that Chelsea have set, as cry babies. Not to mention SAF is the greatest manager in the world. SIR Alex, bow down and show your respect mortal creature :D
Grt manager but ur disillusioned by his stature. Chelsea or any epl team in fact cant match him. He intimidates referees and also uses this tactic to divert pressure from his squad when they r having a poor run. DOUBLE STANDARD again.

Nope. Mourinho has got his tactics wrong many times in La Liga this season. Im a bit surprised as this is something you don't expect from a manager of his calibre. Ramos was arguably thier best player for first half of the season along with Ronaldo, Casillas and Benzema.
U know the chemistry AVB had with the old guard at chelsea. Ramos is not a gd defender at all. have u seen how he defends corners, look at last CL game. To reckless for a CD. Y do u think Mourinho benched casillas if he was so gd this season. All of the fixed players are not giving out their best because they know they dont have anyone in the team to compete for their place. Things have gone to their head n in casillas case it complacency or the motive to perform better is lacking.
All grt managers make mistake tactically but when a team is in gd form those mistakes get masked. Its a thin line between a mistake and a genius. If it works its applauded but if it doesnt .....

Villa is one of my all time fav players, if he doesn't get more chances i think he should to to Arsenal. I would wish him all the best there, he's too good a striker to be sitting on Barca's bench, even at this age. Hope he goes anywhere but Chelsea, its sad that Mata, Oscar and Hazard are playing for Chelsea since i like them :( id support them but id never support Chelsea. Mata has been the best player this season along with RVP for me. I also like Lampard and Drogba(despite his antics against Barca). On the other hand its rare to see a Chelsea fan support a Barca player, i know you don't like Messi..
U know what we have started BOURNVITA for are young lads this season. Just need the right manager to give that stuff right. When that happens u will find epls barca in chelsea ;-)
Haha we are not even looking at villa, wont be making another mistake of buying a spent force.
As for drogbas antics i wonder y he started doing it after the 2008 semis game. Maybe someone inspired him there :)
I like messi but i dont like the idea of him being better than ronaldo. For me both are different players n best of their generation. Stats cant justify their greatness as both r in different situations.
Messi is more consistent and grt controller of ball but ronaldo is more versatile and shines on the bigger stages.
