Wow did not know it was offensive. Going to stop using that.

Some research tells me it has to do with Munich Air Disaster, and the term comes from a song opposition fans made up about one of the dead players.

Is the ref. drunk? Worse decision i ever seen. Really feeling sorry 4 Abidal.

cricman · #57 May 6, 2009, 03:16 PM

These UEFA/FIFA Refs <<< Bucknor

10 vs 11, still need one away goal

revolver · #58 May 6, 2009, 03:27 PM

that ref dont like chelsea...pique bloody used his hands

bangla-red · #59 May 6, 2009, 03:29 PM

This is so close... COME ON BARCA!!

ammark · #60 May 6, 2009, 03:35 PM

I've given up watching. Barca wont score, the way its going. Abidal's sendoff was the WORST decision I've ever seen in football.

no henry, no puyol... the final berth was chelsea's from the beginning

Hatebreed · #61 May 6, 2009, 03:36 PM

Hahahaha... Barca score!

bangla-red · #62 May 6, 2009, 03:37 PM

Please don't score from this corner!

2 mins into injury time

cricman · #66 May 6, 2009, 03:43 PM

I was justa bout to type no Treble for Barca and than they scored.

Ballck Is angry as hell.

United (Going for 4 Trophies) vs Barca (Going 1st Spanish Treble in a Long Time)

Messi vs Ronaldo

Hatebreed · #67 May 6, 2009, 03:45 PM

Personally I wanted Barca in the final as they would make a formidable opponent. But I gotta say despite Abidal's red card, Barca was lucky with more than one penalty decisions.

Oh well.. can't wait for the final!

cricman · #68 May 6, 2009, 03:47 PM

Drougba and Ballack About to Commit Double Homicide, FA/UEFA/FIFA Gonna Suspend Drogba for at least 3 Matches

ialbd · #69 May 6, 2009, 03:56 PM

Respect for Chelsea.... all Barca needed in this match was a bit of luck.... Iniesta with pure magic... and off to Rome.....

Barcelona will be back in grand style (minus Alvez)..... but we will have a fantastic final on the 27th guaranteed....

Rome here we come...

ammark · #70 May 6, 2009, 03:58 PM

Drogba's effing pissed!

Just watched the replay... that was really beautifully done by Iniesta! Messi set the play nicely! Just love their short, penetrative passing plays!

We'll see you in Rome, Hatebreed!!

rattlehead · #71 May 6, 2009, 04:01 PM

drogba couldve easily finished this off. this referee deserved every bit of harassment, overlooked a clear handball.

congrats to barca, even though chelsea deserved a win here.
hope barca crushes man u, would love to see anyone win besides man u

How Many Matches is he gonna miss?

patriot · #74 May 6, 2009, 05:16 PM

Souness on Sky got it spot on - he can't understand how we didn't get at least 3 penalties. Looking at the replays now, we had 4 nailed on claims ALL ignored.Story of our season in some ways, on one hand punished by the referee and the other punished by our inability to finish chances.

We were lucky with the Abidal Red card . The ref was a disgrace . UEFA wanted a Barca - Man U final by hook or crook . They got it . We shouldn't blame Barca for this. To be fair, they kept going and never gave up. Great spirit and they never gave us time on the ball. They had one shot at goal and scored .

This game made things easier for United to win the CL again . No Dani 'disgrace' Alves , No Abidal , No Marquez .

BTW , Essien scored the most stunning goal I have ever seen . Similar to Zidane's goal at Hampden a few years back.

i dont think he is going to miss matches..
bad luck for Chelsea, the referee decisions were poor.. man united should win the UCL now.. barca is fine but on a United day, noone can stop united.. anyways if i was there (in place of drogba) i would have hit the referee right there.. hope UEFA supplies a better referee for the final.. that referee has mental health issues, UEFA should teach him the rules nicely first and then send him to referee a match.. or maybe he needs powerful glasses??
