Chelsea, to Moscow

By: Sam | 2 Comments

The Carragher | Drogba contest was going to tell a lot. DD will be singled out for his brace and another motivated performance, but Lampard & Ballack were positively balletic. Essien, a force of nature.
Credit to Liverpool for making it a match, but they were out-matched on Chelsea’s magic patch.
Riise will be feeling bad for […]

After Rafa Benitez tried to influence the ref earlier in the week by saying us that Drogba was ‘theatrical’ (well, duh) the Ivory Coast hitman reacted in exactly the right way, not only putting in a fantastic performance, but paying respect to another striker often accused of diving - Jurgan […]

By: Rob | No Comments

Games between Chelsea and Liverpool are traditionally not as interesting as most semi-finals (Sheva, left, looks like he’s sleeping to avoid it) So if it isn’t amazing, you have a couple of things to do. Drink yourself to death, and follow Daryl’s liveblog and argue in the comments section about whether Shevchenko should be in […]

The Man Barca Missed The Most: R10
