I respect Lampard quite a bit, but I don't know how­ all these players keep defending this guy. Of course­ they know him better than I do, but come on.

He­ pretty much quits on the team when Scolari is coach,­ just because he doesn't like his tactics and so he­ played bad, sulked and cried in the corner, and mostly­ watched from the bench. Hiddink "revives"­ Drogba. Good for Hiddink, but what does that tell you­ about Drogba?

He is also a diving cheat, flopping­ like a jelly fish when guys half of his size breathe on­ him too heavily. Someone that big and strong­ doesn't need to go to ground so often.

Now the­ guy goes off on one of the most un-sportsman like­ tirades in the history of professional sports, and his­ team runs to his defense.

I don't care how many­ bad calls the refs make, you just don't treat the­ officals like this. I'm sorry.

There is a time­ and place for the referee to face judgement for his bad­ calls, but the players aren't the ones to be doing­ the judging. The frustration is certainly­ understandable, but the over the top theatrics are just­ a lack of class and respect.

Didier Drogba is an­ overgrown baby, who cries when he doesn't get his­ way.

And if he would have just FINISHED HIS CHANCE­ that Anelka left for him then the refs wouldn't­ have mattered, Chelsea would have been up 2-0.

Just­ FINISH Drogba, do your job, don't worry about other­ people's.

Lampard is quiet right in what he has said. If you are­ emotional person you will realise the effect of feeling­ extremely cheated. People who are condemning Drogba can­ never say that they have been furious in their life.­ Parker Paul I do not see what controbution he has made­ to soccer than being a completion of a team or sitting­ on the bench.If Parker was a great footballer he should­ be coach a team.

What goes around comes around, Drogba's cheating­ has cost many another team the points in a match but as­ soon as Chelsea feel hard done by they start ranting­ like maniacs and think everybody should feel sorry for­ them, well tough, play by the rules yourselves next­ season instead of thinking it is ok to cheat to get a­ result.

F Lampard shows himself to be as bad as Drogba, one­ behaves like a spoilt brat for not being good enough to­ score the goals he's paid a fortune to get, prefers­ to fall down when it's easier to score. And Lampard­ thinks that kind of behavior is acceptable - god help­ football if they get away with it.
Give long bans to­ Drogba and Ballack, these people would find something­ to complain about in an empty room, they make me sick.

Frank Lampard is a gentleman.....and honorable. Unlike­ that pethetic referee, or that weasal Platini, who­ cannot bare to see two English teams in the final, yet­ again.
And why would there have been two English teams­ in the final.....because we have the best league and­ best teams in the world......and Platini cant stand­ that.
If the rest of Europe want to compete with­ us......let then do it fairly.....not by bringing on a­ TOTALLY INEPT referee who 'gave' the game to­ Barcelona.
I understand all those of you who­ say.....Chelsea should have won the game without­ needing any of those penalties....true.....but even­ though Barcelona had by far, greater­ possession......when it came to actual threats inside­ the penalty box....Chelsea were far superior.
And­ Barcelona could only stop Chelsea by foul­ means.....they must be laughing their socks off with­ getting away with so many denied penalties.

I HOPE MAN­ U KICK THERE CHEATING @#$% ALL THE WAY BACK TO SPAIN.
