I hope it's one of those fake injuries, like the ones ManU's players always seem to get around internationals. They should rearrange the schedule so that you have a whole block of time after the season is over for internationals. I never understood having them in the middle of the club season, at random intervals. I think it would get more people behind their national team and be beneficial for team building if you could have a concentrated international month or something.

I thought that was Jonny Evans for a second.

I've got a pic. Evans deserved straight red or at least two yellows for that and the Carvalho takedown. Amazing that ManU fans and staff can say the ref was bent with a straight face. I thought Fletcher definitely fouled Ashley, and there was no makeup call there. It was not a pretty game at all, but the result was deserved.

I know that Fiorentina is my favorite team for the next few weeks. :(

By doing a sportsdirect@St. James' Park kind of thing. So everybody loses. What is really sad is when it changes with each new season due to them hooking up with a failing company or whoring it out to a different company every year. Then again, Man U proudly advertises the company that ruined the economy on the front of their shirt.

Joe Cole brought sexy (football) back. Even in the first half when we were only 1-0 up, it was probably the most entertaining Chelsea played this whole season. I think this midfield is the way forward, Joe at the tip, Lamps, Essien, and Ballack. I'm rooting for Liverpoo to get drubbed 4-0 tomorrow.

I admit, I was cursing Kalou for the first half hour. I even composed a chant for him, called "Kalou is not very good." But I was pleased after his double, even though Drogba probably would've scored 4 or 5 with the same chances. So I modified the chant. If you've seen the Flight of the Conchords, you know how it goes. Carragher...is not very good Reina...is not very good Benayoun...is not very good But Frank Lampard is very very good! Bass solo...bass solo over Glen Johnson...is not very good Ryan Babel...is not very good Benitez...is not very good But John Terry is very very good!

1. Messi 2. Xavi 3. Red balloon that scored against Liverpool

STEVIE G, YOU F**KING DONKEY!!! I WANT TO VOMIT AT THE SIGHT OF YOU!!! CARRAGHER, YOUR FACE LOOKS LIKE DIDIER'S DOG'S DINNER!!!

I can't f**king believe it. But I would've put money on them to score the winner after they equalised...at about the 7th minute of extra time. So, I'm not too disappointed.

If he had grown up in the States or concentrated on basketball, Drogs would probably be a great NBA player. He has great footwork and coordination, combined with strength and bulk. Some of the best basketball players played football growing up, like Hakeem Olajuwon and Steve Nash. Funny that all of his "tricks" are things I can do, though.

Feel for the City fan, he had the better sense of humour. Cheer up, lad, at least you've won the pie-eating contest.

I thought this was a windup at first. Absolutely ludicrous.

Sneider looked great today in blue...too bad not in Chelsea blue. Also, Ibra for Etoo + 40 mil looks like the steal of the summer. Ibra will become Barca's Berbatov.

I guess the fact that we got drawn with Atletico kills this deal dead. No way do they give up their best player to a team in the same CL group.
