Anyone want to pile on?  I DVRd it and just about lost it.  That ref was right in front of the play...total hand ball and we were all robbed of a ManU / Chelsea rematch.  Oh well - always next year.

I had very conflicted feelings about this tie as Chelsea is my favorite EPL team and Barca is my favorite La Liga team.  Chelsea definitely has a beef with some of the calls, but this ref made some doozies the other way too, esp. sending off Abidal for what was only MAYBE a plain-jane foul/restart.

Thing is both teams had many chances to finish in both games (Drogba's 2 breakaways in game 1 come to mind), and all they got were the brilliant finishes from Essien and Iniesta, respectively.  

Bad as I feel for the Blues, I'm optimistic they can at least grab one piece of the hardware in the FA Cup final vs. Everton, and of course, I hope Barca does Man U. the way the did Real a few weekends ago (though I doubt it will be like that either way).

Nice to see some other fans of the "footy" here! :-)

couldn't have put it better myself.

Liverpool next year for EPL and Champions League.
Settled side, get a decent proven striker to give Torres a rest now and again.
Come on Barcelona in the Final v Scum Manure on Wed.

yes, the most popular sport in the world. Funny you haven't posted which sport does it for you
