Anything where the 'championship' ends on penalty kicks is not a sport.

lol. Over the season United were the better team. Chelsea have ruined too many players' careers by buying them and never playing them and I'm just glad the bastards couldn't buy their way to the final

Besides that, I'm a huge United fan and so very biased

Man u hasnt bought players over the decades and "bought" titles?

Do Cristiano, Tevez, Rooney, Ferdinand, Scholes and Giggs play for free?

Man U is flying back?

How can soccer be considered a real sport when the guys who participate don't look like they have ever touched a steroid?

The tries on goal are MUCH too easy for the goalies to stop.

Increase the size of the goal and make the keepers' job more challenging.

Hah, funny joke. It took 14 penalties to finish that match and only 2 saves (not 3, terry slipped and missed). How long would you wish it to go for?

Was a great game. Im from Sunderland but I guess im an adopted manc as ive lived in Manchester for 13 years (I live in Denton now) and despite being a Sunderland fan it was great to see Man U beating Chelsea last night.

Penalties is a tough way to lose especially at sudden death but exciting to watch thats for sure.

haha, you have no idea what your talking about.

as for the match chelsea was the better team, after man u scored they took over (specially the midfield). ferdinand and the serb played well tho...but chelsea was the stronger team.

FIFA/UEFA should limit the number of foreign players in the different teams, maybe maximum of 4 foreign players in each team. not that i think it will happen (too late for that+not sure EU law allows it)

Great game.

I don't have any loyalty to either team (I'm a Celtic fan) but overall I'm glad Man Utd won as overall they've been the better team all season and I don't like the way Abramovich has come in and tried to buy silverware by flashing his cash. Drogba's a disgrace but I did feel a bit sorry for Terry and Anelka. Shame it has to end with penalties after such a good game - they should have made them play to the death!

One guy on the radio suggested that if it wasn't finished after ET to take both keepers off!

I disagree BigJ. I don't think it was a particularly great game. Games between Arsenal, Chelsea and Man United rarely are. These teams all play rather cagey football around each other.

I do agree about who should have won, though.

TrueGrit · « **Reply #42 on:** May 22, 2008, 03:57:38 AM »

Have to admire Chelsea's spirit, aggression and physical fitness but the actual quality of football they produce for the money they've spent..is pretty awful.

They did it before and it got brushed under the carpet.

im aware of the bosman ruling...im saying it is harming the development of local football talent (in the long run), altho for example the premier league is alot better than it was 20 years ago (because of the influx of alot of foreign players).

none of the teams has any soul left tho.

No doubt it is harming local talent. There is a definite loss of English flavour to the teams thesedays. I also feel that before the premier league became so foreign, there was a whole lot less diving and bullshit in the game. I think Man United have a decent soul. Much more so than 100% synthetic chelsea.

I may be wrong but im positive there was something implemented before the premiership started (late 80s I think) where the was a restriction as to how many foreign players you could sign or (play in a match) in a given season.

several leagues had such rules before the bosman ruling.
