But we didn't - we literally gave in against you. I still favour the Ar$e, but it's a game that you could have done without and it will be a decent game over there, whoever wins. I reckon Henry should practice his penalty taking before that game though cause it may just come down to that :-)

No, I'm always honest - the last 'dive' I genuinely felt wasn't.

Initially, yes, it was ball to hand - but Petit moved his hand inwards to help control it. Still, it wasn't given and that's that.

Like United did at OT you mean? :-)
Possibly, they will - but Chelsea are a very 'up and down' team. They played well today, but who knows how they will play in the replay? Certainly they're capable of beating us on their best form, but I still favour Arsenal at the moment.
Anyway, I'm off for another game of IGI2 - ta ta!

Indeed. Jeffers was almost horizontal by the time Cudicini actually made any contact with him. And Arsenal fans have a cheek to have a go at Ruud for diving.

That one was a penalty though Henry would have probably missed again anyway.

not sure what you quite mean?
I post on this forum nearly everyday!

>(handball by Petit and a foul on Henry) waved away.
If you watch the incident carefully, the ball rico-chet's (sp?) off Ljungbergs arm onto Petit, totally accidental. On the other hand Chelsea had a 'blatent' penalty not given.
> it's a game we could have done without.
Yep they'll work you hard over there and hopefully should be another fine game.
> All credit to Chelsea, though.
My prediction at the start of the FA Cup is that Chelsea will win it, they are always up for it when it comes down to the FA Cup and weldone to them.
> Great goal by Henry
Indeed! Goal of the Month there, methinks. The guy is an absolute genius. I was expecting the whistle to go for offside, but the replay clearly showed he wasn't.
Deserved to be a match-winning goal.
Oh, and can I just say... it's funny how all the ManYoo fans suddenly appeared out of the woodwork again! :-)

Shows what you know! Yes, I do think it was a dive. Cudicini did catch him - barely - but he was already on his way down. In my opinion he should have carried on and tucked the ball away - 99% certain he'd have had a goal.
Turned out even in the end, though - we had a penalty tht shouldn't have been, and missed it; Chelsea had a good claim for a penalty for handball in the area, and we also had two further genuine claims for penalties (handball by Petit and a foul on Henry) waved away. So, regardless of what could have been, it all balanced out nicely.
Not overly worried about playing them again at the Bridge, except for it's a game we could have done without.
All credit to Chelsea, though. Gave us more of a game than ManYoo, and failing Arsenal winning the Cup, Chelsea will be 'my' team.
Great goal by Henry and a stupid dive by Jeffers.
Good game and decent performance by Chelsea.
Means a reply at stampford bridge - what a shame. =)
