Any views on Chelsea/Barca?

I really like games where the players (a) are really good and (b) really don't like each other. Makes for compelling viewing and I don't go along with all the hand-wringing "oh dear such a shame to see talented players not concentrating on the football why oh why" punditry.

Thought Boularhoz had a stinker. John Terry was simply brilliant, genuine world class. Ashley was pretty impressive; f**k me I would hate to have to mark Messi. Messi is kind of a rich man's Hucks - unbelievable going forward, but just not there at all in defence. Drogba behaved like a w**ker. Marquez's stamp on Essien's nuts brought tears to my eyes. Deco was fantastic.

Bloody good game, gripping viewing.
