    0-2 in their own stadium, against a team with one player less for 40 minutes (Mansiz sent off around the 50th minute).

    Money cannot always buy success - at least not immediately.

    I love that this happened. I am kinda anti Chelsea. at least anti Chelski
    but I am also anti ManUre

    I think it will be great that London will have 2 teams to root for the play at the top, i just dont like how they are doing it, and how they are owned by a mob boss. I guess if he builds their support level, and builds them this stadium he has mentioned, it would be good for the PL, and good for S London.

    other than this, they have looked good this season though. Imagine if they totally get as a team. they are damn good.
    sure they are no Real Madrid, but they are good.

    ever notice that watching certain CL matches are like watching an all star game from the last 2 World Cups?

    True! Champions League is great...so many great players on the field at the same time...if the luck of the draw allows, I am hoping for a final Bayern vs. Real...5:2 for Bayern is my prediction! :D

    not surprising

    went to Villa @ Chelski last weekend, my first PL game

    was so disappointed Villa lost, the Chelski bench was worth more than the whole Villa team, but Villa dominated the game, planned to happy to see Villa lose if Chelski put on a show as i expected but alas i was doubled disappointed, Chelski sucked big time and Villa should won but lost.

    the Chelski midfield was ordinary, veron disgusting, duff lost and ignored and Petit the best and taken off early in the second half.

    True, Chelsea did muck up... but your Bayern Boys almost did the same. Pulled off the tie though with Pizarro out. I would love to see Bayern take Real down a notch.

    Did anyone else see Timmy block the penalty vs. Stuttgart. Amazing stuff.
