Come on Chelsea.

Despite it being our national sport I dont usually mention football on this site. I am a West Ham supporter which means there isn't usually that much for me to write about.

However on Tuesday there is the first of two games which will decide if footballs biggest competition is discredited forever. I am talking about the Champions League semi-final between Liverpool and Chelsea.

Because of the speed and nature of the modern game referees often make mistakes and it is not unusual for big games to be decided by refereeing errors rather than by the players themselves. However the referees in the Champions League have taken this to ridiculous levels.

In short Liverpool should not be in the semi final. They should not even have been in the quarter final. The only reason they are playing chelsea on tuesday at all is because dodgy refereeing decisions have decide their last four games in the Champions League! Thats right, on four occasions in a row the referee has made a mistake that has kept Liverpool in the competition.

Should Chelsea not now knock Liverpool out of the competition then the Champions League Final becomes a farce and the whole competition becomes completely discredited.

So Chelsea must win for justice and fair play to prevail.
