You know what - FIFA changed the rules as a conseqence. The pass back rule for one. Bayern showed last night the way to play against flair teams. Chelsea were a disgrace and I hope they get their chicken shit asses kicked big style in the final by our German friends. If England approach games in the Euros like Chelsea did, and I fear we will, we are in for one serious thumping and the first plane back. As for JT.........
Tad harsh.. not many teams beat Barca.. they came up with a system it worked.. Bayern lost last night and won last week.. Chelsea drew and won..

I hope we don't play like them, but they knew they were desperately outclassed and fought and strangled the game.. United have used grinding out stale 1-0 wins time and time again.. its why we are still in the title race.. we win when we aren't playing well, like after the derby mauling.. its just about being in contention come trophy time..

I'd rather be like that than Spurs.. we all love watching them.. but we all love a loser..
