Well I agree with Colin. Chelsea were unlucky, again, costing us another silverware this season. I was really hoping for a league and cup double, but not to be.

As far as proving which is the superior team, I think the scores explain it well:

Liverpool 1-4 Chelsea
Chelsea 2-0 Liverpool
2 drawn games @ CL
Chelsea 1-2 Liverpool

Also the number of points between the two teams is quite a lot.

Well, the luck has balanced out over the season. Chelsea have had some very lucky wins in the PL.

They were unlucky but Liverpool did play well (according to the highlights )

Damn we were so unlucky.

Why the hell was Ferreira in midfield and Geremi in defence? Should be the other way round. I think atleast one of our 3 wingers should've started, we lacked any creativity in the first half, especially since Lampard wasn't firing. Horrible miss by Drogba, and horrible wall. Liverpool's 2nd goal was also due to an error by Gallas. I was surprised Cudicini didn't go for it, I get this feeling Cech would've saved it(I think he'd have saved the first one too). Terry's goal should never have been disallowed, and well...I simply could not believe it when Joe Cole missed that sitter from 6 yards out.

Terry's goal clearly was disallowed because he climbed on the defender. That was a straight forward descision, even Terry didn't complain. Theres no way Cehc would have reached the second, he would have had to be at least a foot taller than he is.

i am so pissed off with Wneger.... Why the hell in importatnt matches does he leave HENRY on the bench like v Man Utd... and when he came on he showed his class with a superb goal to get us a draw

Poor stuff from Wenger, that's handed Spurs 4th place now.

I'm suited Leeds won, our first win in 10 games Should of been 4-0 though, the first half we was dynamite

Nice match yesterday. Didn't think Chelsea would lose it.

And too bad Shearer's career has ended like that.

Also maybe some bad news for the Netherlands supporters:

From the preliminary (however you write it) 33-men squad Seedorf of AC Milan (yeah that one, who won three times the Europe Cup I) and Makaay of Bayern Munich aren't included.

And somehow guys like Vlaar and van Castelen got a spot. :

 

[hassan]

WTF no Seedorf or Makaay what r they doing

Terry's goal should never have been disallowed

Yes what with the clear usage of the defender to get above him....

Ref made the right decision.

People say Terrys challenge shouldn't have been a foul (Prior to Riises goal), I debate that, Garcia tried to volley the ball, and Terry tried to clear it with his studs showing. Something which is a foul in the rules.

Well done hammers and King Marlon.

Come on West Ham! Beat Liverpool!

 

[IloveGilly]

Go Man U. We shall kick Chelsea's ass

Go Man U. We shall kick Chelsea's ass

Speaking of which, I am looking forward to winning the title on the 29th.

 

[Yorkshire_No1]

Come on Chelsea. There isn't a better way of winning the title with a win over Manure
