horses on the pitch (remember Sunderland) seats being ripped out and thrown onto the pitch reporters sitting in the stands the greyhound track

no advertising hoardings - did that already get mentioned? well if it has then no monster size TV screens. regular clocks with hands.

wow ok this time it worked. the Scallies make it 2-0 at 96 mins

how does any game involving the manks losing or drawing have about another half of extra time, it's like the refs say lets play until they score.

managed to watch the match this afternoon and was really please to see how the team all worked for each other and kept fighting for possession even at 3 up and 4 up.

went for Drogba for his assists and for getting stuck in, but Hilario was a close second

smells like team spirit - great game, great win.

brilliant!!

seen Quadrophenia twice done by the Who, first time back in the 70s and then again in Hyde park in the 90s. was lucky enough to see Tommy twice at the Rainbow in the 70s.

very pissed off here.

welcome. I am an expat living in hotter Florida - 3 types of weather here, hot hotter and hottest. Right now it's a mere 95F this time of year. Mind you I have become a wimp when the temps go down into the 60s for a few days usually in January.

the only good thing to have come out of Manchester was Mark Hughes

it was a throw in from the right (I think Lamps) it went to Malouda on the edge of the box via someone (sorry I was on the edge of my seat) and he just lined it up and shot hard, and it went through about 6 or 7 pairs of legs low into the right hand corner of the net.

effing great goal, it went through about 7 pairs of legs. jeez I was on the edge of my seat for the last 20 mins. Phew

game wasn't on here but my dad called me at FT with the result. First game nerves maybe but as someone else said who cares it's the 3 points that counts. We will settle down.

excellent game, never in doubt even when we went one behind. sad to see our 46 seconds record go. crappy coverage in the US by Fox, too many ads during the celebrations so we really hardly got to see much of them.

well maybe it's a good thing for the Barcodes, they have been pretty rubbish for many a season, they've not won anything, they have been adding a few names to a pretty weak squad for many years, almost an old players graveyard. Now they have to start afresh, but I agree with someone else who posted earlier we won't see them back up for a good few seasons.

yawn all the historic crap coming from the commentators

how sad to see the Scousers let 4 go past them again

come on you Bluuuuuuuuuuuueeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssss how long till FT?

depressed I missed it, delighted we stuffed the scousers.

WTF, this is ridiculous, I agree the Scallies will take hope now

sunderland just equalized.

'a dejected Kop' 'battered and destroyed by Chelsea' music to my ears
