Kalou was definitely offside but only by a hair (usually UEFA refs hardly ever miss those) and the defender at least in my eyes got a slight touch on the ball from Lampard going to Kalou. Drogba then just cleaned up the rebound with a laser beam low to the short side.

Man U played very dominant soccer to hammer the Hammers, 4-1 over the weekend. Ronaldo reached the 40-goal mark too, part of what has been an unbelievable season for him. There's no way anyone could deny him the "World Player of the Year" award. Man U seem to be finding some form once again, and that's an ominous sign for Chelsea, not just in the EPL but the Champions League as well.

I don't know about ominous. Like someone said earlier, still a lot of time before that May 21st final...anything can happen over the next 3 weeks.

Watching the Chelsea-Newcastle match from home right now - Chelsea looked very sluggish in the first half, but they are hanging on to 1-0 lead through 77 thanks to a Ballack header off a Drogba direct around 60-1'

Ballack is firing on all cylinders right now! He has been very impressive lately. Good timing on that, too, with Frank having been out with the passing of his mother.

'BusNative,
Since you asked.....I don't see Man U dropping any points against Wigan. I'll be shocked if they did.....they should win the EPL....and win it in style. Chelsea are paying the price for a slow start early in the season. But I could get it wrong....you never know. Man U are playing away at Wigan, and Chelsea are home to struggling Bolton. If I were a betting man I'd put money on Man U winning.
However, I'm not so sure about the Champions League. If the two were to meet today, I'd say "advantage Chelsea"!! To put a dampener on that....history is not on Chelsea's side. NO LONDON CLUB HAS EVER WON THE CL!!! That's a pretty stunning stat.
But it's a ways away, and when we have more on injuries and availability of players on the day it would be less challenging to pick a winner. |

Nice - thank for the answer. I agree - I can't see ManU losing a point, so it looks to me like Chelsea will have to really focus on the Champions League... I can't believe that no London club has ever won - what a crazy stat! |
