Brutal Reading KO Petr and Carlo!! Hilario for Barcelona!!!
Yes Boss! On my way!
After the thuggery Reading dished out to Chelsea’s goalkeepers tonight, Reading have no doubt severely dented the CHAMPIONS hopes of rapid progression to the knockout stages of the Champions League.
Wednesday October 18th could see Chelsea playing Barcelona with third choice Portuguese goalkeeper Hilario between the sticks after both Petr Cech and substitute goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini were victims of thuggish and brutal challenges by Hunt and Sonko this evening at the Madjeski Stadium, Reading.
For me the result a 1-0 win for the CHAMPIONS is irrelevant against the health of the Best Goalkeeper in the World and the Second Best Goalkeeper in the Premiership. The game wasn’t even 30 seconds old when Cech dived to smother the ball at the feet of Reading’s Stephen Hunt, making his first start for the Royals in the Premiership. Instead of attempting to jump over Cech’s body as attackers try to do, Hunt decided to continue on his path and the full roundness of his kneecap caught Cech flush on the side of his head.
Cech was left out cold. He was treated for a full five minutes before being stretchered off and eventually replaced by Carlo. A minute before full-time (in injury-time) Carlo came out to punch away the ball from a dangerous Reading corner and Sonko the thug from Brentford (schooled by ‘mad dog Martin Allen’) clattered into Carlo after the ball was punched away.
TV pictures proved that Sonko deliberately put Carlo out of the game because his eyes WERE NOT on the ball, in fact they were not focussed on anyone. As a side issue, the CHAMPIONS won 1-0 after a Frank Lampard free-kick was deflected into his own net by Igmarrsson just before half-time. Didier Drogba gave a perfect lesson in GK and striker etiquette when on two occasions challenging Reading’s ‘keeper Hahnemann he jumped over the ‘keeper after Hahnemann grabbed the ball. After what happened to Cech I am sure ‘The Dids’ would loved to have left a boot in!!?!?!?!?!?!?
There were two red cards – one of each side – first Mikel was sent off on his Premiership start for two bookable offences and incidentally Mikel ONLY made two tackles all game. Reading’s Andre ‘The Pikey’ Bikey was sent off for the same. His second yellow card came after he pulled and tugged on Drogba’s shirt in the second-half.
I hope Reading’s fans are feeling really HARD and good about themselves tonight. Chanting Barcelona, Barcelona and with Chelsea losing TWO goalkeepers due to the thuggery of two of their players, Wednesday night COULD WELL be Barcelona’s night.
COME ON CHELSEA
GET WELL PETR AND CARLO SOON – REAL SOON
Yes. We will miss Cech surely against Barca. But we should still do well with Hilario. Who knows, he might surprise us, after all he is a Jose Mourinho find from nowhere. There should be something in him.
I tried to laod a picture – a picture of my match tickets for Wednesday – but the system wouldn’t allow me.
Anyway good news.Carlo is out of hospital and is now resting at home and yes BC Hilario could surprise us and so could the rest of the team.
But you have to agree that to be without BOTH of your GKs is not the best preparation for such an important game.
even if we get a draw against Barca that would be a good result
“…the Best Goalkeeper in the World and the Second Best Goalkeeper in the Premiership.” Huh. Didn’t see the game, but your hyperbole doesn’t lend itself to me believing anything at all in the rest of your post…that said, I’ll reserve my judgement of what happened until I see the videos.
Yep. May be Petr Cech would be contesting for the best goalie spot but I myself wouldnt put Cudicini anywhere in the list. There are too many better keepers in the premiership than Cudicini but none than Cech.
The expression ’2nd Best Goalkeeper in the Premiership’ is my own and is not a view that should be expressed by others. LOL LOL
Its an expression of how high a regard I hold Carlo too.
COME ON CHELSEA
i know it’s like calling peter crouch the premier striker of team england
