How desperate are the media for a London club in the final? The love in with Spurs this week, and tonight you'd think that the penalty was the only call the ref made! Was a nailed on pen like, but I believe the phrase is "swings and roundabouts"? B**locks. It was a penalty. Funny though.
Torres is a disgrace. 2 pathetic dives and he shouldve been off.

I thought your defenders were woeful with their challenges on Torres on the box.
I think Vidic dived in to put Torres off. Got nowhere near the ball. Went close to clipping Torres but didn't actually touch him. With the stuttering, out of touch form of Torres the presence of Vidic was enough for him to not make a decision but merely run the ball out of play for a goal kick. Nowhere near a blatant dive and only Ferdinand thought it was.
The second one there was contact between the defender and Torres. Not enough to warrant a pen for me but enough to say that it was a harsh card.
