Right, this isn't a rant, just more of a question about Chelsea's third goal last night. I haven't seen it shown on any of the replays, but I was certain that Lucas was crunched outside of our box, so the ref waved play on, only for us to give it straight away, I thought he was going to pull it back for a free kick but he didn't and Chelsea scored.

No sour grapes or anything, just wondering am I misunderstanding the rule? Did the ref play the advantage long enough? I'm never quite sure with this rule, how long do they play the advantage for?

There was a foul on Lucas, i saw that aswell. It was just when Alonso gave the ball away that he deemed advantage to have been played.

Wouldnt have many any difference.

If we didn't concede 4 2nd half goals last night, Liverpool would be in the semis, regardless of what went on at Anfield.

Eh, and guess what, if we didn't concede 3 at Anfield we'd have gone through.

Honestly, I give up.

Hopefully the Utd game tonight will be the exact opposite of last nights Liverpool game, with a tedious 1-0 victory taking us through to the semis.

I won't watch tonight. It will just be too painful because I have the horrible feeling Porto will get tonked.

Porto will score imo so Utd will need to score twice, tough call this one.
