Conspiracy? Maybe.....

I sat in disbelief this morning over the incidents that happen during this morning's champion's league semifinal between Chelsea and Barcelona.

First of all, Michael Essien scored a Zidane-like goal with his weaker foot that screamed into Barca's goal! Essien must be very low on the list of potential Chelsea goalscorers.

Secondly and more amazingly is the performance of the referee. He turned down not one, not two, not three but 5 different appeals by Chelsea for a penalty. Some of the offences were so clear-cut that the referee must have been blind not to see them especially the handball situations. I can fully understand the frustrations of the Chelsea players after the match who felt they had been robbed. It is also a well-known fact that UEFA president Michel Platini is against English domination of Europe. Could he have something to do with the events of this morning? Unseen hands at work? Seem unlikely?

You go explain what happened then......
