That set a precedent for bad refereeing decisions in favour of Barcelona. You'll have to hope UEFA tell their referees to abide by the fair plays rules in the quarter-final.

As much as I hope and pray for an entirely fair game that is unaffected by the ref it's probably never going to happen, so since Arsenal will prolly lose because of some bull call the I'm just going to root for Lyon (or Bordaeux) to win, and I'll have Bayern as my #2 just because I have a lot of Bayern fans for friends.

Nice offside goal

Mo sold Harrods today for ?1.5bn. Some are freaking out and thinking he might wanna sell Fulham too, but I could see him using this money to continue to improve the team, maybe even splash some cash to try and become a permanent top 7 team. Its always been said that Mo never trusted his managers with money after the Tigana disaster so I have to think Mo trusts Roy and would let him have more money than usual in the transfer market.

I think that our current defense is good right now, that is if everyone is healthy. Vermaelen and Gallas starting with Campbell and Djourou as backups. I think that this season we just had too many freak injuries that kept players out for too long. The number of injuries wasn't anything new just the severity of them. The one thing that we do need is a good keeper. Even when everyone is healthy that is the one true weak spot we have. Other than that I honestly think all we need is some depth and we should definitely challenge for the title next year without a problem.

Congrats to chelsea on winning the league. Manchester will be back next year with a strong team. We need one good forward berbatoz is trash. Who does everyone have winning the world cup?

[JenniferParisFan]

Congrats Chelsea! I think that if Arsenal keeps everyone and just adds a few more quality players then we might be considered favorites next year.

Right now I have Brazil and Germany as favorites to win the World Cup. But I'll be rooting for France and Holland to win it. Can't wait for the England-US game in the first round it should be a good game.

If rooney was there it would have been a different ending and only a chelsea fan can say that was a fair goal by drogba

The big question now is can Man Utd overturn their 2-1 first-leg deficit against Bayern Munchen in the Champions League on Wednesday night?

In a word, NO!!!! Bayern is on a roll and Manchester doesn't have a hope. (Now watch me eat my words Thursday morning. Damn, and I hate the taste of crow and humble pie.)

ila, it wasn't looking too good for Bayern at 3-0 down after 41 minutes, but Ivica Olic's goal for Bayern just before half-time and the sending off of Rafael (Man Utd) early in the second half is making it interesting.

And now Rooney has been replaced, it's going to be a tough final 30 mins for Man U.

Do we split the humble pie, dauls? Bayern lost the game 3 - 2, but they still win the series based on scoring the most away goals.
