I think that was only the case for a couple of the away games where they had to travel to places like Bulgaria and central Russia (Amkar Perm). The lineup against CSKA Sofia is pretty bad.
But here's the away game at Shakhtar Donetsk, looks like a lot of regulars. Away at Basel, home against Sofia, home against Shakhtar, these all look a lot like the lineups they used in league games. The only trend I notice is a lack of Clint Dempsey and a lot of appearances by Simon Davies and someone named Kelly.
Fulham has never won a trophy and I think they are actually an example of a team that takes a lot of contests seriously in the hopes of winning a trophy.
I don't remember the early rounds of that year but I would imagine Fulham would be fielding stronger teams as they advanced. That goal was epic - to this day he claims it was a shot but it had to have been a cross.
I knew nothing of him when Chelsea first signed him. Damien Duff's reaction (pissing and moaning about signing a player who played his position) made me want to see him play Duff out of the lineup. I really enjoyed his play that first year in Chelsea, and I still have a soft spot in my heart for him -- all thanks to Duff.
He doesn't go down if he has any chance of making the play and I think that's one reason for his amazing goal totals (albeit a minor one)
Kiss of death.
I am perfectly fine with that.
Naldo is on fire!
Is it too late to send him to prison?
I'll be first to say, I didn't see that coming.
What happened?
Just the usual, fireworks and fans storming the pitch, demanding the players' shirts because they're not fit to wear them. Granted, that was a bit unusual.
There's a German football saying, which goes 'The ball is round, and the game lasts 90 minutes.'* According to my father though, it's actually 'The ball is round, and the game lasts as long as Manchester United need to get a winner.'
*German football sayings are not renowned for being particularly profound...
Not to mention Rossi gathering the shirts, taking them to the Ultra hangout, having Sculli plead to keep the shirts, "talks" occurring between Sculli and one of the Ultras, the players being allowed to keep the shirts, putting the shirts back on, and, if that wasn't bad enough, the game actually being played after all that. The match commentary was sketchy, but it seems a point deduction could have resulted if the game was stopped and Genoa is now level with Lecce on points as it is.
Yeah, I'm still fed up about the whole thing.
Don't know how you could mention this and not mention it was from the mouth of Sepp Herberger. Nach dem Spiel ist vor dem Spiel.
Fabio Capello did that at Real.
That one goal being nearly 5% of Kaiserslautern's goals this season. At least as impressive a feat as scoring a hat-trick on a real team.
Edit: I say that as a FCK fan. This season consisted of parking the bus with all the windows rolled down.
I wondered that myself. It wouldn't at all surprise me to see him walk away after this year.
First goal today is HUGE. I think if Barca get it they win 4-1 or something on that order. If Chelsea get it becomes a fairly interesting chess match, how long can Chelsea park the bus?

This is a decent primer.
Understatement of the year.
And yet, so similar to where they were in early 2011: out of gas and playing like dog doo. How strange! It will take an absolute miracle over these last few weeks for Harry to keep his job, let alone be offered the England one.
Question for Spurs fans - is there a reason Gio dos Santos hasn't been getting more playing time?
Johnny Two Saints forged a reputation as a lazy player and a bit of a drunk in the early days of Harry's tenure. Harry's never fancied him, and Gio's never gotten more than the occasional token appearance to change anyone's mind. To be fair to Harry, it's quite possible Gio's never earned it.
Probably true. Although Barca seemed to have been trying to put Pique up against Drogba most of the time. And the only way Chelsea are getting a goal here seems to be by Drogba pulling one out of his ass. I think that just got somewhat more likely.
Edit: And now they are definitely going to need it...
Also, has anyone seen a good view of the sending off? I'm watching a bad stream and while the commentators called it a "moment of madness" the text commentaries I've read suggest there wasn't much to it.
That's all I've got and I'm just as curious.
Terry's light years ahead of Zidane, unless Zidane had an affair I don't know about and is a racist.
My money's on him being a titanic pr*ck. And they'd just been scored on.
Yeaj, but he has always been a titanic prick, and they have been scored on before. But to my knowledge that has never resulted in a random kick in the back.
I'm surprised they haven't put Essien in there (or maybe they will at halftime). He has experience at the back in big matches (central defense in the 2007 FA Cup Final, right back the next year in the Champions League final) and I would trust him in that role a lot more than Bosingwa in the middle or an out-of-position John Obi Mikel.
And there is no way this score stands up. I've got 5-1 Barca.
Now now, don't sell Terry short. He also had that whole "make fun of American tourists after 9/11" thing going for him. He really sets a high bar.
I've said it before but he is the most fascinating athlete in the world in my opinion. The media absolutely fawn over him and give him the full Jeter and his play on the field often warrants it. But then he has these moments where he turns into some mix of Milton Bradley and Albert Belle, it's gripping.
Yes, although there is no chance in hell that score stands as is...
Chelsea is ahead on away goals at the moment, yes. If Chelsea scores again, Barca would need 2 goals.
Is anybody surprised that Villa-Bolton is 0-0 at the half?
Neither Ferreira nor Bertrand are on the bench. As I said in #679, my money is on Essien (who's actually a pretty decent pure defender, imho. I'd expect the middle more than the right, though, with his pace/absence of pace the way it is).
You're not going to find anyone who agrees that Zidane was titanically overrated on the field.
Terry is a thug who can play a bit. Recall him squeezing Puyol's dislocated finger in the first leg.
I don't know what media you are reading but their love affair with Terry is over since long ago*, even assuming you park-adjusted the full Jeter to the UK, I would assume that would be the full Beckham.
*) Since that night in Moscow?
I forgot about that. Was he also in the Rio Ferdinand/Frank Lampard and groupies sex tape?
Weren't there people pushing for him to get the England captaincy back? Or was that all Capello's doing?
a) Chelsea goes to the final
b) A goal is scored in Aston Villa-Bolton
I kid, I kid.
The media that I read and hear of course! :-)
Seriously, it's mostly the game announcers so maybe it's more accurate to call it the Full McCarver.
Um...is there a c)?
I figured Bertrand and Ferreira would not be on the bench but Di Matteo obviously risked a thin defensive bench, especially against Barcelona.
More interestingly perhaps, if Chelsea do make the final, no Terry, no Ramires, no Ivanovich. Maybe no Cahill, depending on how bad he's got it...
Edit: Coked.
There certainly was no big concerted media campaign. From what I saw media generally supported the FA's stance against Capello. Of course, the loudmouths may have been paralyzed by having to support a slimy foreigner if they wanted to voice support for good old English Terry.
