We were by far the better side in the first half, of which was backed up back G.Neville. He also summed the match up as everything which is great about the PL, an amazing atmosphere and that it was a lesson to Villa Boas
The ref had a superb match and wasn't intimidated by cheating bullying Chelsea tactics. Both sending offs were justifiable and if you look at Bosingwa incident from the camera in the School End he is all over SWP.
Taarabt despite acting like an idiot again over the penalty was at the heart of things laying a superb ball through to SWP which led to first red. He should have also taken the penalty it’s the way it worked like season when HH gets failed AT takes and vice versa.
Derry and Lampard had an immense battle in centre mid which frustrated Lampard no end.
Skys audio department done a wonderful job in filtering out the ‘John Terry your mums a thief chants’
David Luiz looked close to tears at one point after being ruffed by Clint Hill
Terrys racial incident did not look good on the lip reading and he swung out a leg at Anton Ferdinand 20 secs before hand which he could have been sent off for IMO if you apply the letter of the a law of the game.
Barton was quality and bossed the midfield IMO
I thought we were slow to close down but on the play back on SKY we looked a lot quicker and sharper.
The intensity of the atmosphere was constant for 90 mins
