Victor Meldrew This is more like it.
Two teams intent on playing attacking football as befits two of the biggest clubs in the world with 13 (?) European Cups between them compared with last night where one relatively little club with no wins and only a bit of recent European football pedigree were playing a side right up there with Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
The little club played it as if they were Barnsley,Crawley or Bournemouth playing away at Old Trafford hoping to just hang on in there and get a break-hardly the stuff of potential European Champions and the most negative of teams since Red Star Belgrade.
I do think it must be some sort of record for a team to play 2 games,have 3 shots,score 3 goals and get just 2 corners in football generally and there surely can not ever have been such stats for a team reaching a European final.

It would be understandable if this team cost next to nothing as with Barnsley,Crawley or Bournemouth but when it has cost more to assemble than the opposition then the style of play is almost unforgivable.


Fcuk me, take that Liverpool hat off once in a while - you're worse than Spacey

Don't worry, I'm sure Carroll will be scoring the goal that confirms Liverpool make the Champions League final soon enough.

zzzz boring

Reading played like this against southampton and brighton, in fact we were dominated by whu and forest also albeit to a lesser extent...but this doesn't fit your agenda.

Reading away at Brighton is hardly a football event to compare with a European Champs league with hundreds of millions watching on TV and expecting to see some classy football.
A poor comparison.l

I think his point is, that it's weird for Chelsea to have adopted a 'little club' personality, considering their team is more expensive than the planets oil reserves.

who cares what millions of people are thinking, the clubs care about themselves...not neutrals....as they SHOULD do. There were probably a lot of people watching the Saints/reading game, it didn't stop them having most of the ball while we were pounded and counter attacked all game.

why would chelsea care about your opinion as some random neutral fan?

It ain't unforgivable but it ain't exactly great for football. In fact it's bloody awful for football.

Still, fair play to them, it worked and you can't argue with that.

Huh?

Sorry is this... let me check, uh yeah, yes it is - it's a discussion forum. Phew, I thought I had the wrong place for a minute there.

I was just saying it was a valid point being made; here we are patting the back of brave little Chelsea after watching them kick the ball as hard as they can with their eyes closed for 90 minutes, all the while forgetting they cost 90 trillion pounds and it was only yesterday they were being called a footballing world power.

It's still an excellent result, but the David and Golliath approach is all rather amusing.

I'm not asking Chelsea to worry about what I think on a messageboard used mainly by fans of RFC,I'm expressing an opinion as a fan of football and Chelsea are the latest example of non-entertainment,just as Wimbledon and Stoke have been accused of in the past-their excuse/reason was always that they had vastly inferior players whereas Chelsea fans would never feel that is the case with their big-spending club.

If teams don't entertain then people will turn off the game-it is an entertainment and not just a competition or a sport.
Look at what is happening at Villa where the fans feel that they are not being entertained with long ball regularly played up to a lone striker and goals coming along too rarely,crowds are falling and they might get relegated playing crap football.
This is a big subject and possibly beyond your comprehension and that of TMB but IMHO sport (partly because of the massive earnings involved)needs to be an entertainment or else eventually it will fail and players will be performing at empty stadia with no atmosphere-is that what you want?.

Exactly - so maybe once in a while you could put your hatred for Chelsea and Utd away and actually say something unbiased.

Fact is, if that was Liverpool beating Barca like that in the semi final of the champions league, then you would be saying it was a superb defensive performance and a tactical masterclass from "king kenny"

I do comprehend what you are saying, however what you are failing to comment on is that Reading have employed a similar style more or less all season and in particular the last month. Browsing other teams message boards I was seeing comments like " can see how they are where they are, awful football but effective, no stars but play as a team and defend really well" bla bla. Not a single comment expressed the belief we played enjoyable football. So I take it you won't be turning up to watch Reading anymore as we tend not to put more than 5 passes together and the opposition have most of the ball all game?

lol @ thinking a football fan would rather his team lose 5-0 but play "attractive football" than defend for their life and reach the Champions League final, beating Barcelona 3-2 in the semi final.

umm, im not talking about the teams we've just beaten. You haven't been to many home games this season though have you? Effective...definitely, entertaining? No. Go and check our back from the game threads.
