Wigan 2 - 3 Chelsea , The EPL Champions Shown Once Again !
-
Once again Chelsea Shown why they are the champions !
and that assistant ref (both) one rule out kalou goal and keep flagging robben offside even though he is not and the other one don't seems to even know the offside rule Emile Hesky was offside
Amazing football match who say chelsea play boring football
-
they're clearly missing john terry. boulahrouz really not reliable.
-
look at how wigan performed in the second half and one would think the home side gave the visitor a two goals handicap in the first half.
and chelsea needs to throw in the entire 300 millions squad + tons of luck to snatch a 93rd min winner against a battered wigan.
champion quality indeed. -
title race is not over -
btw, the headline on soccernet seems to say otherwise:
Wigan 2-3 Chelsea: Robben saves Blues blushes
and stats wise, which was commonly mentioned by GP, wigan seems to be the more deserving winner with better possession and attempts: http://soccernet.espn.go.com/report?id=199272&cc=4716
champion quality indeed. -
the steady and reliable defence is not there this season. but thankfully this chelsea side knack of scoring late winners sure reminds me of the great man utd team in the 90's.

linesman are easily the worst 'player' in the EPL. they make way too many stupid decisions.Originally posted by ghimpheng:Once again Chelsea Shown why they are the champions !

the referee association must advise linesman to give the benefit of the doubt to the strikers whenever there is a close call. this will encourage teams to attack and make the game more interesting.
anyway mourihno must be sleeping. at 2 - 1 up and under tremendous pressure he should have made a change.
both man u and chelsea are playing desperately. -
All linesman not up to the job, when the ball is halfway on the air then they flag, too slow liao.

I think Arsenal were the ones who played like champs last night. THey hit half a dozen past ROvers.
-
they were just luck to win

Omg man.. I was about to sleep then I saw Chelsea v Wigan live.. 2-2 I was damn happy and it looks like Wigan had a chance.. But I saw the way Chelsea attacked and attacked as if it is the Champions League Final, and they ACTUALLY GOT ONE IN IN THE EXTRA TIME! My heart sank cos it means wasted Man U couldn't extend their lead but as reluctantly as I was, it was really impressive to see such determination and fighting spirit. It was as if I was seeing Man U of the past.. Somewhere inside I knew they were gonna get a goal or something and they really did with such a nice goal by Robben.. So many times they have did it this season Kudos to Chelsea.. Championship material.. I just hope Man U can play the same way..

I still cant say they play attractive football.I would say they go for perfectness and efficiency to get the job done and win the game.You think they would score 3 goals if Wigan had not scored 2? -
there is something about the quality of a champion about being able to win when not playing well.
or even better, scoring at the death to win matches like the great man utd team of the 90's. -

Real Madrid 0 - 3 Recreativo Huelva
35' 0 - 1 F Sinama Pongolle
52' 0 - 2 I Uche
90' 0 - 3 E Viqueira
Shots (on Goal) 4(1) 12(5)
Fouls 20 12
Corner Kicks 5 2
Offsides 2 7
Time of Possession 66% - 34%
Yellow Cards 2 2
Red Cards 0 0
Saves 2 1
34% Possession of ball and score 3 goals......against Real Madrid With World Best Defender Cum Player in their squad ?
34% ball possession
Attempts does not mean that u have better chances ! remember last time liverpool try shots far away from goals and keep trying they would have alot of attempts but very less on target
but whatever comments u made chelsea still won't the match even if you don't recognize it !
and the assistant ref got 2 important decision wrong both involving goals
and the stats show that wigan has wasted their chances by shooting 15 shots and only 6 on target while chelsea only shoot 9 shots and 5 on target and had more corners kick
one is kalou goal ruled out and heskey goal was allow to stand -

so i don't think the twice highest Scoring team in the EPL for last 2 years and currently halfway through the EPL 2nd highest scoring team play boring football -
even a man utd fan want man utd players to play this wayOriginally posted by dinky1409:Omg man..

and also it was combination of mourinho tatical changes and the players efforts that got us the late victory -
Well. they have a never-say-die attitude and got the results they wantedOriginally posted by dinky1409:Omg man..

Well but you cant judge how attractive a team play by the number of goals scored.For me i judge on how the team creates their chances and how fluid their movements on the pitch are. Sure enough i respect Chelsea for their grit to grind out wins , which also reminds me of how Man Utd players play in the 90's.Slack in the 1st 60mins, chiong on full steam in the last 30 minsOriginally posted by ghimpheng:we are the 2nd highest scoring team in the league currently and best scoring team in the league for last 2 years in epl
so i don't think the twice highest Scoring team in the EPL for last 2 years and currently halfway through the EPL 2nd highest scoring team play boring football
, which is why i support them back then.Back to goals vs attractiveness, World Cup winner Italy are similiar to Chelsea's case in this season, 2nd highest top scoring team wid 12 goals.But IMO i dont think they played attractive football. They jus stick to their highly efficient tactics.
Just my 2 cents worth

anyway, chelsea don't deserve to win. Boulahrouz is a stupid clown. He's the butt of all jokes. I was laughing at his antics. Seems like Heskey got 2 over him; and it was all Boulahrouz's fault.
Robben's goal was damn tyco (a stroke of luck); if Baines had tackled him and the wigan defence not gave him too much space; i bet he couldn't even get a shot in.
Seeing the way Wigan play with such tenacity, determination and a never-say-die attitude; it was a cruel blow to 'em.
Chelsea certainly don't deserve to win.

Chelsea played wid the amount of grit that is at least the same amount, if not more than the never say die attitude the Wigan players have.I guess it just boils down to the quality of players in the end since both sides were determined to winOriginally posted by trendz:anyway, chelsea don't deserve to win.

even though jose say chelsea did not deserve to win but however we could have come out with easy winner with a 3-1 win and jose did say that the football chelsea play last 10 minutes have got us the victory
even if u said chelsea don't deserve to win the final score is still a chelsea win
