Undeserved defeats

I remember one game under Ancelotti against Birmingham when they had 1 shot on goal, we had like 30 shots on goal, think we hit the post twice and ended up losing 1-0.

Losing to QPR under AVB, Chris Foy was an absolute disgrace that day, what made it galling for me was having to listen to pundits and "experts" telling us we had nothing to complain about that he aactually had a good game that day

2009 - The 2nd leg of our two legged tie against Barcelona in the CL when we played Barca off the park only to be painfully robbed by a Norwegian match official.

4 penalty "shouts" if I recall - 2 were the never-in-a-million-years desperation shouts, the other 2 were good shouts and on balance should have got 1 of those. Does my head in when I read idiots spouting the "we should have 4 penties" rubbish

The Barcelona game where Iniesta got the goal in the last 10 second of extra time.

JTs slip against Utd in the C/L final.

That Barca game was a complete disgrace, I was absolutely fuming after that!

I don't think I've ever felt as robbed or mugged off after a football game.

Surely everyone can see that was the case too and that if you don't see it that way you're either wumming or deluded

That Barca game in 09 will always stick out like a sore thumb.

Swansea game this season that ended 2-2.

Sunderland game that lost his the title in 2014, I'm not sure we deserved to win but I can just remember after thinking how the feck did we lose that game.

Chelsea 2-3 Utd that clattenburg game.

This one may divide opinions but the PSG tie in 2015.

TBH Biggish, I'll happily concede we were easily 2nd best to Southampton 'B' and Le Ar$e, I didn't think there was much to chose between the teams at WHL the other week.

Spurs deserved it in as much as they put away the two chances they had, although they were two very poor goals to give away from a defensive POV.

On another day Hazard could have put away the two easiest chances of the night and we could have walked away with the points.

With regards to your question, you won't find many games were the outcome was so grossly unfair as that Barca game - well apart from when we lost 7-1 at Wolves in 75!

The only thing that was any compensation for it was that I watched it in a bar in Rio, just off Ipanema beach!

That Chelsea Barca game is still to this date the worst refereeing performance I've ever seen

People make the mistake thinking a team deserves to win because they had loads more shots compared to the other team. It doesn't work like that, at least not in terms of 'deserving' something.

Should have won it? Yes. Played well enough to win it? Yes. Deserved to win it? No, because your shots weren't accurate enough, or they took their chances better than you did and defended better.

Only time a defeat should have been a deserved win is when bad luck, as in bad refereeing decisions or otherwise, comes into play.

Chelsea played very well and fully deserved the win against Barca. The ref was a bēllēnd that evening. Even blind people could see the injustice, yet It's normal for a twisted mind like Spurtle to think otherwise.

What was most galling for me about that Barca game was how the authorities stood behind Ovrebo. I don't believe it was a conspiracy, I think he really was just that spectacularly poor at his job

I remember a Bayern-Fiorentina match he did the following season where he was somehow even worse than that night at the Bridge

Unless I've missed it......Carlo's 2nd season against Birmingham. They had 1 shot all game. Think we had 23 on target and lost 1-0.

Funnily enough that was one of only two top displays that season, United at home being the other.

Ben Foster was unreal that game.

Agree obviously with the barca game, everyone walked out that night saying we'd been cheated. Can't believe we did not get atleast 2 pens.

But nobody has mentioned that ghost goal game, we absolutely played liverpool off the park that night at anfield after the goal(and say what u will about the goal)

Even Jamie Carragher has mentioned(I believe in his book) how good we were that night.

The Overbo night was depressing on the National Express home.

Wanted to see if it was just Blue Tinted Specs that was making me damn his performance. No it wasn't. Watched it back on Sky+. He was awful.

3 things came outta re-watching that game.

1) i realised Jamie Redknapp was a smeeee-heeeee who was defending Overbo and saying "Remember what league he's from...."

2) i started to respect Souness as a pundit. "In what league in the world are 3 out of 4 of those not nailed on penalties? Chelsea have been done tonight!"

3) Swearing aside i realised Drogba had become a Chelsea fan. He'd choose us to beat Marseille every time now, from watching that I have no doubts.

No problems with the ghost goal. I think the decision favoured us rather than Cech getting a stonewall red card.

And we fecked that tie up because Jose was too defensive in the home leg.
