MattRFC The only person/ppl in the chelsea team that left that pitch with any respect from me was JT and sadly the 2 injured keepers.
Wayne Bridges also.

I'm not ashamed to be English, afterall Sidwell, Shorey, Harper, Little & Lita did okay and they're English... Murty too if you ignore the fact he plays for Scotland.

Everyone calm down!

Sonko should not have been booked in my opinion, but those free kicks are given every week in the Premiership and Sonko will have to learn. We'll benefit from one of those at some point this season. To be fair to him though, Sonko was easily man of the match. John Terry could learn a thing or two!

The challenge that annoyed me most was Sidwell's on Cole. How Sidwell got a booking for a high boot, I'll never know. Cole kicked the bottom of Sidwell's boot, so his foot must have been as high as Sid's. A free kick perhaps, but never a booking.

Anyway, Chelsea actually came to Reading looking to nick a goal and once they had, they were going to try every trick in the book to hold onto it. It's sad that a team full of so many superb individuals should play that way, but there you go. I thought their celebrations at the end of the match were testament to the way we played.

Chelsea have no class whatsoever.

I'd never say I was ashemed to be English, but I was embarrassed to be a Football fan on Saturday following Chelsea's "performance".

I've long been dis-illusioned at the state of our national game, and in particular the international football scene, and Saturday just re-iterated these thoughts and I won't be supporting any England team with John Terry captaining or with England's most over rated midfielder playing in the side.

'Where were you on Wednesday night?'

Those words sang by the East stand at Lampard and Terry must have summed up our feeling as a nation to the over-paid prima donnas who played so miserably in an England shirt.

It sounded like the England players got a mouthful on Wednesday night after the game and I wasn't surprised to hear chnats along the same vein on Saturday.

I thinks it's pretty impossible to win the Premier League if you don't have any class.

jeez you dont half post some shite just to boost your posts..

Do you often thinks? I thinks that you are probably the biggest NOB on hob nob but anyways Chelsea have proven that you can win the premiership without any class.

If it was class that won things Arsenal would have won the league for the past 6 years. It seems that the Premier League is one of the only places where cheats actually do prosper

Chelsea are the best at stop/start football, diving, and all other theatrics. They won the league back to back, not because of free-flowing teamwork, but because of individuals. You can buy the best players in the world, but you can't make them play with passion.

Everyone is keep going on about 'that' challenge fron Stephen Hunt which according to Mourinho, he could have avoided.

What about the free-kick which Lampard won which lead to the goal. He deliberatley ran into Sonko and fell over when he could have quite easily ran around him.

I would prefer to have a team of honest English players than a load of diving cheats who are no good for the game.

Did he actually dive? I don't think so.

He did play for it though, but he would never have got to the ball 1st, i think Harps would have booted it out, he was right there.

Why is that never taken into consideration, like the Johnson penalty last year, would never have got to it/done anything, but still gets the decision.

Let make a point here, and a vild one at that. How many people on here were urging on England to follow suit and be a little theatrical in the World Cup? I know i certainatly was.
