when chelsea do it at HOME, its called great defending by the press.
when sunderland do it AWAY, its called anti football.

FFS DO you not know that when we play the top clubs, we are supposed to roll over and allow them to win!

Yep, tis the way of the media.

Thought Chelsea defended well last night, but like you say, if Sunderland do that against Man United next month and cost them the title, we'll be accused of being negative.

When did all this 'they parked the bus' and 'we had 80% posession' shit start??

The idea is to win a football match and as far as I am concerned by any means possible. If it means you put 6 players on Messi then so be it, footy isnt an art to be admired in a gallery ffs.

I cant remember it being a factor in the 80's and 90's but now every week teams piss and moan about the oppositions tactics. Get on with it you fannys!

Mate they were playing the best team in the world at keeping the ball, its not called parking the bus its called doing what you got to do to win.

Before we all jump on the OP I don't think he is criticising chelsea at all. More criticising the great British media for being a bunch of biased fuck wits.

One shot on target at home in a CL semi is disgraceful.
