Schadenfreude Blues

I was at the gym getting ready to work out when barca scored in the 93er min and as soon as it was over a guy in a Chelsea shirt walked into the locker room with very distraught look. I smiled at him and said that there will always be next year. No silver for Chelsea makes me very happy.

 

The lack of empathy, on here, for neighboring football teams and fellow fans is appalling.

Hmm.. isnt 'Schadenfreude Blues' somewhat redundant?
oh..
aargghh... I'm slow today!

 

Suck on it, Chelsea. :lol:

Two stunning goals amid a vast sea of ugliness all around.

 

How about the freak show afterwards...I must admit, it was not the referee's best day, but show some class and take it on the chin like a man. I would expect that type of reaction from a 7 year old.

The ref had to change hotels and be basically smuggled out of Britian.

 

I was driving to class, listening to the game on the radio, with a sense of resignation that Chelski would get through, when Iniesta brought a great big smile to my face. As a football fan, I would want to see them in the final more than anyone v. CCCFC. As an intelligent person, I am so glad CCCFC spit the bit. Drogba -- wothless human being. Total moron. If he didn't dive more than a submarine, how many more opportunities would he convert. Seeing him in his flip flops pleading his case to the TV cameras would be too funny, if it wasn't something that my junior high school students would do. I expect as much from Chelski -- all Roman's billions can't buy class.

Hey, CCCFC, that ref didn't kick a ball all game. Don't blame his decisions for losing the game for you. Blame the fact that Drogba missed a wide open net against Valdes -- what a save, but Drogba shouldn't have let it come to that. Blame the fact that you quit attacking after Barca was down a man. Blame yourselves, and I ain't watching the game with you. Find your own barstool.

A small part of me feels for Essien. What a fantastic goal. Mr Essien, you're better than that lot. Go anywhere else in the world and do yourself a favor.

 

the worst part of the match, for me anyway, was seeing the highlights on comcast sportsnet.

Where Ballack was pronounced "BALL-ack", and Iniesta was pronounced (before a second-long pause) "in-E-sta".

Mamma Mia!

 

Purist!

To me that's good enuff.

Bollock and rhyme with siesta

 

Watched it on DVR last night - just stunning. Wasn't Iniesta's goal Barca's only shot on goal the entire match?

Chelsea should have had 2 PKs. If that ever happened to Fulham, in those circumstances, I would be gutted.

 

Awesome!!

 

i'm with bradical that i'd be furious if the same fate befell FFC, however, there's two reasons yesterday's display would never be repeated by the whites: 1) class; and, 2) karma. chelsea is devoid of #1 and has plenty of #2 in the "bad" sense.

 

classy like freddie blassie. :banana:

 

Wow. Kind of says it all, or at least all that I was thinking. Very well put, Steve.

 

Special1TV rightly called out Didier the Diver for his antics. Shut up, Drogba.

 

Thanks, once in a while I have it in me.
