What are we backing ...

where is the valloooooooooooooo ...


need inspiration, really struggling to predict this one ... a 1-1 draw is my current fancy, but thats liable to change in ten minutes LOL.

I honestly don't know where this one will go....I'm waiting for Horneris to tip us up something.

Anyone who has a bet on this game is just guessing, to close to call...

haven't looked at the market but lump on ronaldo last goal. if utd need a goal either to win or to take it to et he's the man to step up and deliver, should cap a golden season tonight

Penalty Awarded And Scored
 
3/1


Penalty Awarded And Missed
 
12/1


do we think a pen is likely tonight ?

Doubtful tonight, tommorrow maybe...

Sigh yes ... tomorrow night, Ok latest 10 min fancy is just back the draw and hope someone wins it in extra time


To win in Extra Time
Man Utd
 
10/1
Chelsea
 
12/1 

lol..I almost double checked the sportinglife website to make sure it was tomorrow and not tonight.

lol, i have sympathy.

I have no idea what day of the week it is most days.

Chelsea 2-1 though 1 time plzz, cant bare it for the S*** to win it.

He might well do, but has often gone missing in the big games.

Blue Sq do some interesting bets usually, may go for something like Ronaldo to hit the woodwork.

How much for an own goal?  Riise isn't playing, so the odds will be better.

FYP, 1/100?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/7408082.stm

unrelated to this, I fancy Chelsea to win a scrappy game 1-0.

just a hunch.

Was going to go for Drogba to win a penalty but it says he must be fouled :D

;D

Drogba v Ronaldo on who spends the most time on the floor.

I think Chelsea will just nick it, after man u dominate the game.

I'd love it if Gary Neville somehow gets the winner, instant sacking for Grant

Missing in Action
Concentrating on rising to the occasion should be Ronaldo's  priority ahead of the Champions League Final. Previously, it's been said that the Portuguese winger disappears like Shergar when playing in the big matches. In retaliation, the 23 year old has hit back insisting he doesn’t care about the claims. "When I hear it said that I do not play well against the big teams, it does not annoy me because I know I am the best," Ron boasted, as we hated him a little more and hoped that Ian Holloway was right when he said "hopefully he's hung like a hamster." If you back him to be the First player to receive physio's attention on the pitch @ 8/1, your money won't disappear? CL Specials

Either team to be 3-0 down at half time and win the game in 90 minutes 500-1

How many times Roman will be shown on TV: 0 (11-2)  1  (9-2)  2  (7-2)  3  (3-1)   4+  (5-4) Steal imo

Manure to win the C/L and Ferguson to retire before start of 08/09 season  13-2

Potentially very good spot @ the 5/4.

I might lump on.

Some1 talk me out of it plz.

Cant im afraid..

Stick $1k on it.

just 1k?...Abramovic for Rollz!

I'll stick my last 5er on then i guess.

LOL Just read all this when i seen kev and gatso put tonight thought i was daft as i'm sure its tuesday today (i get my days mixed up a lot) ....

Anyho, go for 0-0 then at least when it's the shittest final since the italians at OT(champs lge wise, if its as bad as fa cup last year ill not be paying much attention) you win some money of it.Man u win 1-0 in extra time with the first shot of the game thats been on target.

I really couldn't care who wins it just hope i'm wrong and it's a decent game.

Very good spot, cant believe im gonna scream out for Abramavic

Ashley Cole to choke Claude Mackele with his winner or loser medal after missing the game 20/1.

Shocking challange in training - would have been funnier if it had been Bridge lunging two footed at him.

Don't really understand why the Man U players were having a training session without wearing shin pads either, seems like a pointless risk.

I'm going for 3-2 cracker tomorrow night. I have no idea who to though. The key man of the night could be Ballack I think.

I played this game on my phone fifa manager, game finished 2-2 Rooney scored 1st.   ;fishing;

can someone link me to the Abramovich market, I cant find it on the site

cheers

tx mate

5/4 sounds huge but the following is the problem

If Abramovich is not at the match then all bets will be voided
Applies to 90 mins play only (half-time does not count)

Thats as ambigous as it gets really, I mean does that mean strictly within the 90 mins of the match?

If it doesnt count before the first whistle and only runs up to the final whistle(and doesnt include ht) then its not so good as you need 4 sightings during actual play rather than the one before, one at ht one after the match and anytime Chelsea score which would have made the 5/4 a huge price.

chelsea 2 0 and terry first and last goal for me

I don't think he'll be shown four times.

I'm going Drogba 1st goal.
Chelsea 1-0
+ scorecast.

Also Essien to score and Chelsea to win the match.

I say roman will be seen 3 times.

VVVAAAAALLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!

Man Utd v Chelsea - Champions League Final
Money-Back Special
If Ronaldo scores in normal time, Paddy Power will refund ALL losing single pre-match Win-Draw-Win, Correct Score, 1st/last/anytime goalscorer and Half-time/Full-time market bets on this match.

Man U to win outright.

Tevez to score 1st goal at 14 on Betfair.  Looks like value to me.

Chelsea 2-1 AET

I hope they win anyway, to silence the glory hunting tossers at my local pub who never stfu even though theyve never been to OT

Come on Chelsea!!

I am going out for a few hours to walk along the coast and go for a cream tea somewhere , and mull over my bets for the game.

I have a hard life :)

Total brag post that you have cream instead of normal semi skimmed in your tea imo

Total brag that you have the easiest job in the world   ;)

I think the Ambramovich bet is good value, I imagine he is a bit of a celeb over there and with Russian camermen, he certainly will get caught more than once (and he has confirmed he is going) - hopefully its a swingy game with plenty of goals, as that would probably increase the chance of him being shown, looking a bit miffed.

Come on Man poo, just to keep my Utd fan wifey happy!

The 5:55am flight from Gatwick to Moscow still hasn't taken off yet. Atmosphere described as 'not good'...

and just seen on the news that a planeload of people showed up at stansted to be told the flight was leaving from manchester

Ouch


Ouch ouch

And now the flight's been cancelled. There will be 224 spaces in the Chelsea end of the stadium.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/sussex/7412711.stm

The abramovic bet looks good value to me, but bobby's post is very valid. With it being in moscow i expect them to shw abramovic probably 5-8 times, obv depending on goals. Whoever backs 4 or over should obv be cheering chelsea on.

P.s im getting involved
P.p.s i fancy man utd to win in 90 mins tho.

Translated into

' I am off for a little bit of afternoon hows yer father. hopefully this will lead to a little inspiration when picking out a bet' ;o)

Hush now ... I went to Hayling Island and had a stroll along the beach ... most pleasant it was too.

Now back to Tonights game (it is tonight isnt it ;) )

I am now going for

Half time DRAW
Full time  DRAW

7/2 on Hills

and i will be having a shilling on both teams to win in extra time, not pens.

In rang Paddy Power up just to clarify their byline and the bet is deffo for Abramovich to be seen between the first whistle and the fulltime whistle not including the HT break so the gtd showing before the match and str8 after wont count.

Still think it is a very decent bet.  Good chance they will show him directly after the start and end of both halves.  As well as at any significant action.

Find out what the TV Producer has backed and lump on ;)

my mate works on the tv crew he's an editor in the van. Cant get through to him tho.

This maybe and probably is a daft question but are the pictures shown by itv and sky the same if they're not then which coverage would the bet go off ?

Same feed for both..

Nice one, thanks.

whats the bet then brent?

No idea. Wana see the teams first. Then ill get massively involved.

Flirted with the idea of Under 1.5 goals but 6/4 is no good.

Malouda and Giggs are too big at 30/1 on Betfair to score first if they play. (wait for team news first).

Any valloooooooo in this market ...


WHAT WILL HAPPEN FIRST

Goal Kick
5/6

Corner
9/4

Yellow Card
8/1

Substitution
10/1

Man Utd Goal
16/1

Chelsea Goal
20/1

Final Whistle
200/1

oooh yellow card...fiesty start, ref needs to exert authority?

thats what I was thinking ... early midfield skirmish, ref wants to make his mark, early yellow.

Final Whistle at 200/1 must be the worst bet ever. Has there ever been a game with no goals,no corners and no goal kicks?

Was just thinking the same.. 200/1 is a shit bet, should be more like 20,000 - 1

was about to post the same then realised there have been a couple when 1 team has failed to show. ref has to get the other team out, blow to start, let them k.o. then blow final whistle to award them the game.

probably a couple of abandoned games too

200/1 still bloody ridic short though

Right, dithering over, my bets are on ...

HT/FT DRAW

Yellow card in the "what happens first" market

and on both teams to win in extra time.

Although it felt like it may have occured during a few Leicester games last season!!

I'd want better than 8/1 on a yellow card before a goal kick or a corner, doesnt seem that good value to moi

I've got

Man utd/Draw 14/1

Ronaldo to get booked 1st 16/1

Small bets

Got 3 bets on Chelski to win extra time 11/1, Lampard to hit crossbar 14/1, Ballack to score a header 12/1.

Gonna wait for starting 11 before i have a proper bet.

in a normal league game, i would agree, but in a game like this with pumped up players and a ref who doesnt know what english footy is about ...8/1 is valloooooooooo in my opinion.

just had chelsea 2/1 to win in 90 mins. think it will bedraw though and kev to win is betafter et

Manchester utd 1 - 0   = 5/1

Chelsea            1 - 0   = 6/1


*mind everything i do is guesstimates

Man Utd h/t draw ft
Chelsea h/t draw ft

Both at 16's

Lampard,Ferdinand and Essien first scorer.

Oh I completely agree with the logic behind it, it just seems that corners and goal kicks are so common that 8/1 seems a tad stingy, I'd want about 11/1

Im routing for ya tho, hopefully drogba gets booked on the starting whistle, cut to Roman looking annoyed, Drogba redeems himself and scores, cut to Roman cheering, cut to drogba lifting his shirt up to reveal a "that was for you Roman" t-shirt underneath, cut to Roman looking embarassed, then rooney twats one past them and cut to Roman looking miffed. Then Neville scores the winner in extra time.

Then we both win all our bets

LOL I can live with that scenario .... ALMOST.  I cant have Neville scoring the winner unless its smashed across the goal mouth by Rooney at 130 MPH and smacks neville right on the nose and goes in, Neville then passes out and finally comes round 2 days later having lost his memory and believes he plays for Liverpool.

Whos that with Kev, Paddy Power?

Willy Hills mate

PLZ ManYoo ftw thx.

Plz not....

haha, comedy

I am going for a bore fest and man u to sneak it 1 - 0

In other news, a reliable friend has tipped me Tomintoul Flyer in the 7.35 at Sandown.  So I'm on that and when it wins I'll be placing a few bets on the game.

1-0 Man Utd now drifts to 66/1

I'm on...

Correct Score 2-2 @ 25
First Scorer Ferdinand @ 48 and Tevez if he starts @ 12


..... so far

Only on Ronaldo to hit woodwork at 11.0 and also Lampard to hit it too at 15.0

Man U 1-0 2-0 3-0 3-1

Ronaldo,Tevez and Scholes First and Last Goalscorers

Im on

Draw / Draw
Draw 90 mins
0 - 0 score
Shown a card Scholes, Makelele, cole
Man u to win Penalties
Man U to win extra time

all smallish bets but a either gonna lose all or win most...................

seen Abramovich about 3 times already

watch this it'll not go to him once during game

I have the Bet.

Draw Half Time/Chelsea Full Time @ 7.6 on Betfair.

Also on Malouda first goal at 32/1.

MON THE BLUES!!!

ballack first scorer  plz

I hope that ref has sharpened his pencil ... BOOK HIM DANNO !!

lolol. goal kick after about 3 secs

Sigh

ffs. double sigh. Thats why i asked what site it was on. I thought Goal Kick looked big at 5/6. I was jus gona put £240 on it to make £200. And i didnt get round to it. grrrr.

hes been on once..

LOL please keep the Abramovich count coming, comedy :)

Will try, hard to concentrate on donkfest and footy..

Yellow for scholes imo..

look at the chelsea players surrounding the ref

disguisting.

Scholes to get carded at 3.1 was like buying money........LOL

Did Makelele also get booked?

YES

paddy gutted

Paddy Power = busto?

 ;tightend; ;tightend; ;tightend; ;tightend; ;tightend;

game over imo

have Chelsea turned up yet?

 rotflmfao

Rom Count ??

Still 1 for me... what a good passage of play... come on chelsea plz

Decent game

Is Terry crying yet ?

Ashley Cole is absolutely embarrassing & anyone who disagrees needs to be shown that replay and his reaction.

Another thought on the Abramovich bet, what happens if he is shown celebrating a goal or whatever and is then shown in the replay?

Lamps saves a few draw at half time bets.

Game on 2nd half!

Someone shoot Andy Gray please

Good boy Frank .... I thought I was a goner there  :)

:o

HUSH MUG

lol yeah..apparently when Ferdinand almost fecked things up it was somehow VD Sar's fault. Gray should not do live commentary..analysis is OK but not live.

Nice game though.

Watch it on ITV.  Commentary's just as bad.

is Rom count still 1 ?

did they not show him when chelski scored ?

Rubdown imo...

Still at 1, showed him cheering when half time... 3 needed in second half

He might need to come on as a sub for you to win your bets.

im starting to think the same..

pish my man u/draw is done.  Has anyone been booked yet?

lol i stayed out of the way of this bet when Bobby1 rung Paddy Power and told us about what needs to happen.

Good Luck Jizzem, but you need goals to have a chance.

Im starting to think my paddy account is busto

Surely no team in history as ever had as many hateful players as Chelsea?

Close ups of Roman's girlfriend FTW.

Shots of Platini, Charlton, but none of Roman...

I hope Man Utd Chelsea both teams lose.

QFMFT

hahahahaha, that was genius.

Ballack runs into him, goes down, and gets the free kick.

Extra time please!!!!

Damm Charlton.. Hes been on loads.. fck my life

Any scored anything yet, must be some on HT/FT draw

Ship the HT/FT bet ... now need a winner in Extra time for the icing on the profit :)

you and me both mate...........Man u extra time and I might pay some bills this month

Lampard to hit the bar?

they make good goal posts in Russia

Does the "to hit the woodwork" bets carry over to extra time?

No idea.  Probably not.

so sick,

i run bad

Drogba sent off - match delivers.

fckin idiot...

Fight fight fight...

Roman's still there.

Roman !

or is it too late?

Too late - only the 90 minutes count.  I think he was only shown once, or maybe twice.

pens  evens both on betfair

Oh well ... im still on a nice profit, and i get to see pens :)

where the fck is Teddy Sheringham when u need him

Single bet for me, chelsea to win. Please may my betfair account increase.

chelski on the pens easy!

chech to be the hero

come on Man U

Van Der Sar love these

ronaldo to miss

SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP

QFT

what a terrible penalty

Cole to miss

so close

rooney to score

does Van Der Sar actually have hands?

or are they pretend.

Where is Rooney?

JT Goal and Chelski win booooooooooo!!!!!

Terry FTW...........

[/size][/size][/size][/size][/size][/size]

Terry...hit the post!!

OMFG

OMG!! how unlucky was JT!!

bugger

miss

SICK Terry.....

WTF is going on..

Giggs to miss for the craic!!
Chelsea score win

unlucky  

are you sure

tense?

would love anelka to miss - never did like him!!!!


come on eddie

clenched

yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

FFS

what he said... off to bed..

Its all JT's fault ......

england captain fails again!  ;)

Aahh  Bless

I run bad. :(

Van de Sar FTW... " Fucking Hell"

legend

Terry isnt England captain

Bandit wrong again


I have never wanted 2 sides both to lose so much before in my life

wow what a game, gutted for terry...

W00t! good game for once, :)

thanks JT,

So I'm sure is Droghba...

JAMMY TWATS

The Spanish were supporting Man Utd here in Marbella...lots of pissed off Chelsea fans for the comedy tho...

He was the last permanent england captain and I am sure he will be back in there again - so that makes him england captain to be!

There is no god.

Well yeah every single English player you expected to miss a penalty...such a fine line between hero and villian if Terry had scored, Ronaldo would be the villain...now it will be forgotten...

Man U had it first half
The rest all Chelsea

Wish JT had scored, as C**taldo missed

Surrey is going to be celebrating their victory tonight! fkin Man U, so disgusting.

I thi
 think united dominated the penalties :)up

I was never confident when any english player stepped up

Just hated the glory fans in the pub celebrating

Wait for the glory fans when Doncaster win!!!!

Terry to be shot by Russian Maffia imo....

yeah i can feel the love already.

:)

Sympathies to the Chelsea fans ... feel sorry for Terry, that clearance from Giggs' shot was just unbelievable, for him to slip like that when taking a Pen was just cruel.

No sympathy for most of the other players though, when you chase refs and continually throw yourself around like they do, you deserve no sympathy, I have never EVER been as happy to see a player sent off as i was when Drogba went.

Like I said, commiserations to the Chelsea fans.

 ;D 8)

Aye good post.

Anyone see Grant throw his medal away?

What a waste

Terry is the worst for chasing the ref.

JT wouldn't have been in the first 5 penalty takers if Drogba had kept his composure.

Man U should have had it buried by half time on chances, Chelsea dominated then on yet Man U still should have won it before pens.

Van Der Sar should have saved two of the earlier pens too..extend your arms man!

right result I felt, as a complete neutral who feels nothing for either

Terry deserved to miss that penalty, it was pure selfishness that made him step up and take it when Anelka was still available. He wanted to score the winner, he wanted to be the hero and slip or not, he had that coming. The commentators are saying bravery, I say stupidity, Mourinio would never have let him take it. Cant remember the last time I cheered so hard than when he missed (Disclaimer, hope he doesnt miss again in an England shirt though)

If Anelka really wanted to take one earlier, I'm sure he could have.

with respect, Mr Shoelace..thats bollocks..Anelka went 8th, not even 6th

thinly veiled im in marbella brag post

with respect, Mr Shoelace..thats bollocks :D :D :D :D

thats golden, I just spat tea on my monitor !!

I LOL'd at that

Plus he didn't seem to look too bothered collecting his loser's medal - he was having a little laugh with Platini.

The first five pen. takers are all listed before the shootout starts afaik, certainly used to be.

well, I mean.....

Glasgow Bandit and the Rangers fans could learn something from me. "With respect" before the insult means you can get away with Far Far more

Ha nah just to show the the dislike for cheating divers is universal and im no Man Utd fan...best comment on here has been the wanting both teams to lose, it had to be one and Abramovich and his millions can lose all day for me...

With respect, Mr End......I just used Anelka as an example as he is a world class striker and not a centre half, I think there were 3 or 4 attack minded chelsea players who should have got the nod before Terry.  

Fuck off you glory hunting twat

PS. HOW I ENJOYED THT FIRSTLY THE DIE HARD BLUE JT MISSED, AND ALSO EVEN FUNNIER, THE EX CITY BOY ANELKA WON IT FOR US.

SENDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD.

mutual respect sir. I personally, given that you have to nominate your five in order pre the pens would have had Terry, if he was in my 5..in the first 2-3 pen takers. Why on earth was he taking the often crucial fifth ahead of say Lampard, Ballack for example?

P.S I take it ben was supporting ronaldo?

Yes, as does:

"I'm not being funny but....."

and

"I think X is a great bloke but......."

and you can also add "bless him" at the end of an insult for similar effect

LMAO, YEAH OK STEELE.  WHERE WERE U WHEN LEEDS WENT DOWN TO THE SHITHOLE THERE IN NOW, AT LEAST HORNERIS STUCK BY WITH YOU.

BUT YEAH, JOIN BK ON THE FANS BANDWAGON NOW UR OFF TO WEMBLEY

FK OFF.

Either way you could argue that Terry was in 5th spot for a chance at the glory, you always have Ballack and Lamps first up because it might not get to the 5th taker.

I think I'll end it on this note......

It was funny when Terry missed.

night all

 ;popcorn; ;popcorn;

Hes fuming lol, you didnt answer my question? i think i owe you some money sadly

Oh.... and FACT!

there, I win

i loved tonight, nipped to nandos then to bookies. had 2 dogs and manutd in a £20 treble, dogs scooted up at swindon and sunderland 7:06, and 7:11 at 3/1 2/1 resectively, when man utd score and dominate im dancing around singing OH TEDDY TEDDY......... and old man utd players songs. I managed to get out by having an even bullseye on man utd to win on pens.

shit, he wins. I forgot to say FACT

So so pleased, Drogba the cheating twat sent off, JT misses pen and Chelsea win sweet FA all season!!!

Oh and i won £150 on MAN U to win champs lge at start of season and have £75 going on Hull in accumaltor to win another £150

Grant to stay and another trophyless season next season FTW

Glad Ronaldo missed his pen - I thought you weren't allowed to stop dead in your run up and it had to be one continuous movement.

Glad Drogba got sent off for the absolute campest slap ever.

I hope Ashley Cole's week ends with him going back home to find some bloke up to his nuts in Cheryl.

QFMFTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Well at least we have the proof yet again of why no Euro 2008 for England, not because of the endless supply of sacked managers...its the players obv, overpaid millionaires a month shite...most average players on the pitch? just check off the England players names...hmm start with Rooney, was he on the pitch???

So True

There is also the option of an additional smiley at the end of an insult.  Pretty standard.

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

DONNNY DONNNY .............DONCASTER DONCASTER!!!!

York will be in non-league football for a long time

Yeah obv they have no money, but even when they had £10 more they did this against Man Utds first team...lucky we didnt play leeds or 0-10!

http://www.yorkcityfc.com/history/manua.php

and for the 3rd time today I learn something from watching the news, I must do this more often.

according to Sir Trevor McDonald JT missed his penalty as 'the ball appeared to bobble'.

that is tough luck

 :dontask:

that is lazy journalism, his standing foot planted, he slipped and that was that

unless of course the pitch was prodded from underneath causing the ball to bobble

The new thing I learnt today is that this was Alex Ferguson's first ever win in a penalty shootout as a manager in a match that actually mattered (Man U won one in the Charity Shield). That's quite incredible.

What a very remarkable game that was, the most enjoyable moment being the sending off of that disgusting individual who as pointed out by others deprived his team of one of their penalty takers by his own pathetic actions.

Fell sorry for JT but thats how it goes.

One other thing that struck me how silly is it to be taking penalties at 1.30 am Moscow time on a bad pitch and in terrible weather and the really spooky thing was I actually made this point to my mates before the match.

No, it's allowed now.

SHIP.

Now thats bollocks ;)

So sick. My heart goes out to rookie and his pa.

10 English players played last night (i think)
We're not at the Euro's because they don't perform for England like they do for their clubs.

Who played the cross field ball to Ronaldo that nearly set up what would have been one of the best goals in a Champions League final?

LOL, what else did he do? Abs fk all!

For Chelsea, Cole's & Terry all had a good game..

rotflmfao

POTM

 rotflmfao

:)

I'm not a fan of either club but really enjoyed the game last night, a great game for the neutral. It's also re-assuring that winning trophies still means something to the £100K+ a week footballer, especially when you see the level of hurt John Terry was experiencing.

I dislike Utd so much more having grown up a Liverpool fan, and being surrounded by Utd supporting friends, however, in a strange way I have more far respect for them than Chelsea and what they stand for...  Argh, whatever, its cricket season now anyway...

And you should get your arse onto it..

Retired...

i agree, i thought chelsea where going to win it in the 2nd half, like him or not drogba is a brilliant player and chelsea will find it hard to recover without him, felt sick for john terry but just 1 of those things which always seems to happen at the wrong time to the players who care the most , exactly like beckhams pen a few years ago

fyp.

LeKnave = Glory Hunter?

Pretty good advert for football, I thought.
Tense, dramatic, good viewing.
Sympathy for JT and Lamps, none whatsoever for Drogba.
And a big up for the referee who officiated really well and contributed to the game being the enjoyable spectacle it was.

Except for the surrounding the ref, the play-acting, the pushing and shoving of other players.

Are you being serious? The only thing he did right all evening was to send Drogba off. Him and his assistants brought a new meaning to being incompetent.

the referee was standard imo. he reffed the uefa cup final in 2003 and recall him being weak then, hasnt improved in 5 years.

Was lucky to get out of our hotel alive in seville.

ref was truly appalling yet none of his bad decisions were match changing so he got away with it.

rarely have I seen so many throws, corners and goal kicks given the wrong way

I have, for Manure, and thats the way it was last night. I saw one decision go the way of Chelsea when it was Manure's.

His weakness was illustrated to me when after booking a manure player after the big scuffle he was then shoved formly in the back towards Droghba (whom he was about to send off) by another manure player, and he never even turned around to see who it was that had shoved him.

Yeah i remember seeing this, Hargreaves i believe.

agreed.

awaiting   death bed confession in years to come  re ref being bunged.

Was nearly the perfect night. Ronaldo missed, JT missed, Drogba sent off.

Such a shame one team had to win.

probably the view of 90% of neutrals there Aaron :D

Neutrals rock.

I had a few bets with ppl that the mancs would win but once ronaldo missed his pen and terryhad chance to make it his fault i wanted chelsea to win. Hmm revenge is a bitter thing.

A Chelsea fan dies on match day and goes to heaven in his Chelsea shirt. He knocks on the old pearly gates and out walks St. Peter in a Man Utd scarf.
"Hello mate," says St. Peter, "I'm sorry, no Chelsea fans in heaven."
"What?" exclaims the man, astonished.
"You heard, no Chelsea fans."
"But, but, but, I've been a good man," he replies.
"Oh really," says St. Peter. "What have you done, then?"
"Well," said the guy, "three weeks before I died, I gave ten pounds to the starving children in Africa."
"Oh," says St. Peter, "anything else?"
"Well, two weeks before I died I also gave ten pounds to the homeless."
"Hmmm. Anything else?"
"Yeah. A week before I died I gave 10 pounds to the Albanian orphans."
"Okay," said St. Peter, "you wait here a minute while I have a word with the governor."
Ten minutes pass before St. Peter returns. He looks the bloke in the eye and says, "I've had a word with God and he agrees with me. Here's your thirty quid back, now fuck off."
