[Archived] Champions League

[Ozz]

There will be at least 224 empty seats tonight. Shame.

[American]

I think I'd rather have United win. That way only one set of supporters have bragging rights and we don't have to hear crap from both sets for the next year or so.

[1864roverite]

I just cannot be bothered about tonight.

if anyone thinks the game will be anyting other than a boring crappy affair then good luck to you.

If ever a game was a nailed on 1 goal affair tonights the game.

Think I will spend the night doing the gardens, tidying up and then washing my hair

Won't take long

Well, that wallpaper won't paste itself to the walls, so I know what I'll be doing.

[Billy Castell]

On Radio 5 they were asking people to phone in and say who they wanted to win. I was tempted to ring and say I wanted neither to win as they are both money grabbing, selfish, arrogant whining, hypocritical bags of crap who have played their part in creating a tedious, predictable league and the destruction of football as a sport.

I hate both teams, and their fans are ____s.

[1864roverite]

Oh Billy if only........

That would have made my night listening to that

[T4E]

Bloody boring this. Watching it on Sky Sports makes it seem like just another Grand Slam Wednesday.

[Billy Castell]

1-0 Man U. Ronaldo.

[Plastic Head]

Malouda is truly awful.

Seen him a few times on TV and still can't see why he gets in a team that finished 2nd in the Prem.

Think they should buy Jason Roberts for £25M. He would certainly be an improvement.

[Plastic Head]

Van De Sar is also completely pants.

He kept Rovers up single handed a few seasons ago.

Just managed to get on Chelsea to win the tie at 4.8 just before the goal.

COME ON CHELSKI.

[Rovermatt]

My utter contempt for United deepens with every half of football that they play. I won't be surprised if Chelsea completely bottle this in the second half.

It did get a lot better after the first 15 minutes. Rooney has been excellent so far...that run brushing aside a player and cross-field ball which was knocked into Tevez to miss was fantastic. With Lampard´s equaliser it is hard to have any idea which way this will go.

It is already a lot better than the FA Cup final last year.

[Mozzer]

two golden chances tevez has missed...for me as a striker he misses far too many easy chances..

he works hard-and will chip in with a few goals-but them two misses could cost united champs league..

You're right, its a surprisingly good game now.

A heartbreaking penalty loss for either would be fine by me.

[T4E]

Chelsea are well on top now, look particularly dangerous in the air from crosses and corners.

[Rovermatt]

It just gets worse. Let's purge this season from the memory banks then.

[RibbleValleyRover]

I didn't watch it, but just turned the radio on and they said Terry's foot sunk into the ground a bit like Beckham did in the 2006 world cup?

[Rovermatt]

Surely 2004?

There are people shouting in celebration in the street outside. They better get indoors quick.

Ah yes it was 2004, the opposition was the same both in 2004 and 2006, Portugal

So was it a really bad penalty miss? or could the pitch have played a part?

[Dunnfc]

I found it bizzare that all comentators were saying what a brilliant end to end game and full of attacking play, well im sorry but two teams playing 4-5-1 and having a petulant child sent of isn't end to end and very attacking.

I thought Chelsea deserved to win on the balance of play but well done to Man Utd for being unbeaten throughout the tornument.

[waynerovers]

anyone else feel a bit bad for terry?

[Rovermatt]

I do. He shouldn't have been so high up on the list though. The ease with which Kalou slotted home his penalty suggested he was the man for the job. It's easy to say now. United are the champs and I'll have to face my United-fancying boss and his weak grasp of the game in work tomorrow.

[brian_gallagher85]

Slightly. More than I do for Anelka, just wish they hadn't had Ballack and Lampard taking their's early

It's going to be a painful few months...thank god the Euros are around the corner.

[doctorryan]

It was raining heavily; he just slipped. Sh** happens.
