Champions League: Open Thread

Well. THAT was painful. I watched the first twenty minutes of ManU-Roma, then switched to Chelsea. Both ended depressingly. Sigh. The only bright spot was seeing my French defender Patrice Evra score a Champions League goal. How often does THAT happen?

(And thank you, thank you, thank you to Roma for sparing Lyon this fate.)

'kin hell

LOL LOL

I agree.

well if you lose tomorrow night, then you are shit!!!



LOL LOL LOL

Hopefully, this time tomorrow, Andy, our shit talking fest can begin.

WE'VE GOT MOURINHO

WE'VE GOT MOURINHO

3 english teams in the semi-finals. How dull.

Chelsea wins! wow.

Essien.

An empathic scoreline of 7-1!

Don't count your chickens just yet, David. Man Utd's debt has only grown since the takeover, they're still not even servicing all the interest (sorry, I know this is wildly off-topic, but the score is 6-1).

David, he is running it into the ground. Let's take a look at their squad. What happens when Giggs, Scholes, Neville, and Ferdinand lose a step? Do you think he's going to spend a hundred million pounds to replace those guys? No, Glazer will sell the club before he does that. They are screwed.

Wow. nice save.

Anyhow, how many cups has Man U won since Glazer has taken over? I'll save you the trouble, one.

That's right, ONE.

They haven't won anything yet this year and with their current form, it's not looking as if they will.

I'm not talking about just this match, but the success that has occurred since Glazer purchased the team.....both financially and on the pitch.....The fact that many people claimed that Glazer would ruin ManU is ludicrous and we are seeing that now, with ManU at the top of the premier league and succeeding in Champions Cup.....

time for class...

Man, I'm having trouble breathing watching the Chelsea-Valencia match.

and the comeback begins.. but man, what a performance here by Man U. not like Arg demolishing Serbia but damn, what football being displayed here

One match a season makes, right David?

If that was the case, whooo hoooo!!! Liverpool is back baby, 3-0 at PSV Eindhoven!!!

No.

Uh oh, 6-1 now.

Bob, stop pretending you're not watching these games.

Come on 7-0!!!

keep the goals coming, ManU is back and everyone doubted that Glazer could not do it, well world I think this season has proven all you haters wrong......ManU will ascend to the top of Europe.

Man, Chelsea is on the brink of scoring again and if that happens. Good night.

Whoa, Drogba messed up.

Oh yeah, Carrick with a brace. Ha ha ha.

I am really not seeing a score that says 6-0 am I?

I don't care who we play. We have to get by PSV Eindhoven tomorrow though.

Goddamn Chelsea. Lampard puts in another terrible free-kick, but seconds later it somehow ends up in a scrambled goal.

Shevy!

I died after that third goal and have since returned to life to enjoy the rest of this game. Sorry about this Brian, but I wanna see Man U in the final (vs. Liverpool so my pals will be happy, too).

Well, that game is officially not worth watching.

Wow, Totti with a brilliant pass that his teammate was definitely not expecting.

Roma better get used to the dirty play. And the complaining.

Morientes!

Valencia 1-0.

McClaren's probably thinking about calling up Alan Smith.

Totti will have plenty of time to think about how good he really is. 3 - 0 in the first 20 minutes. Ouch!

Well, the good news is Rome still only need two goals to advance. The bad news is they need two goals to advance.

That might be the quickest good defense to horrid defense I've ever seen. It took like literally eight minutes. Amazing.

who is that pretending to be Alan Smith?

Time to watch Chelsea - Valencia.

Wow. match over.

Man U expending a lot of energy to do nothing. Don't know if that's a good idea with the kind of bench they have.

A single mistake might have just caused AS Roma the match.

Rio has passed back to Van Der Sar twice now.

CARRICK!

Wow, that was nice.

Roma is looking the better side early here, playing staunch defense, though their shot selection is leaving much to be desired.
