On the Eve of the new Season...

[Julian, Alleged Computer F**kface]

the only true Julian American in the sport

not true, the sport is full of blow-hard prima donas.

Oh really? As an actual American, I can't be assed to give a damn about such coma-inducing dullery to know that.

Forgot to mention that I heard Joe Cole to United this off season is a done deal.  Free transfer too.

[godsshoeshine]

oh yeah, that was the first part of the donovan to chelski deal

[vansmack]

oh yeah, that was the first part of the donovan to chelski deal

I knew Coe's contract was up, but I hadn't heard that he was going to United...

[godsshoeshine]

my bad, dunno why i left that out. i think it was all in one sbi post

[vansmack]

Watching the chosen one "mourinho" chelsea was rather enjoyable in the end, but I was bored for most of the first 80.

[Barcelona]

a good variety of countries represented in the last 8

Bayern Munich
Arsenal
Lyon
Manchester United
Inter Milan
CSKA Moscow
Barcelona
Bordeaux

[vansmack]

Other than drawing CSKA then the Frenchies, Bayern then the Frenchies is a pretty good draw.  Beats Barca/Inter/Arsenal....

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE DRAW

Bayern Munich vs Manchester United
Bourdeaux vs Lyon

Arsenal vs Barcelona
Inter Milan vs CSKA Moscow

yesterday was a great day, we beat the bin dippers and Chelski dropped 2 points - edging closer to history

[vansmack]

I was on vacation so I had to watch the match in a bar. I asked a guy the followng question:

"How much you guys want for Torres?  You know, so he can play in the Champions League next year?"

I've never seen a Liverpool supporter so deflated.  I had to buy him a couple rounds...

[godsshoeshine]

hahahahaha

this made me laugh harder than my facebook newsfeed this morning

but seriously, torres is out the door if they dont get fourth

[Barcelona]

if messi continues like this, forget about maradona and who knows who else.

[hutch]

if messi continues like this, forget about maradona and who knows who else.

Agree. He is playing unbelievable!

[hutch]

Rooney is also really on form... Beckenbauer said that Messi and Rooney are currently the two best players in the world..

[hutch]

oh no from the matchcast just concluded..

To make matters worse, Rooney has to be helped off the pitch with what looks like a serious injury! Nightmare!
