Ferguson: emotions got better of Blues

THE raw emotions involved in trying to win football matches often makes people behave in a manner they regret once the battle is over, according to Alex Ferguson.

Chelsea have attracted plenty of adverse publicity for the way they reacted to their injury-time Champions League semi-final defeat to Barcelona.

The reactions of Didier Drogba and Michael Ballack have been singled out for the most intense criticism, with Drogba apparently angering owner Roman Abramovich for the way he came out of the tunnel to roar his displeasure at the performance of Norwegian referee Tom Henning Ovrebo.
