As much as I hate Drogba, he didn't cost you anything last night. You can't honestly say that him rolling back onto the pitch stopped you scoring, can you? I'd blame the referee for stopping play rather than Drogba.

I watched the match from start to finish and have read countless articles and heard numerous pundits talking about the game and not one has mentioned any controversial decisions made. This includes, I might add, Mr Liverpool himself, Jim Beglin who is usually so biased, he may aswell be strutting about the commentary box in a Liverpool shirt, singing You'll Never Walk Alone.

That said, it was a wonderful game for the neutral to watch. Liverpool were incredibly unlucky after all their hard work, but committing numbers forward took its toll at the back in the end.

As for Messi; he's the model professional, I'm not sure I've ever seen him take a dive. The nature of the game is such that you play for a free kick in a dangerous position and go down under the challenge. That isn't diving, it's just clever football and something one of our best players, Arteta, does all the time.
