Any Chelsea fans complaining about the result should realize for every "bad call" that went United's way, there was an equally bad call that didn't punish Chelsea in the same manner.

Example: the foul on Evra in the box first half and the ridiculous tackle on Ronaldo by Cole.

Interesting read. I can't wait to get the full, real story as nothing in the media can be 100% trusted yet. But the Chelsea-Mourinho Saga is interesting to say the least ;D

read the article, but in the end, I really don't care about "politics" of all of this: mourinho was winning titles and games and now that he's gone, chelsea will suck. the end.

Caught the 2nd half of Bayern vs Energy Cottbus, 5 goals from Bayern lol. A 17 year old, Kroos I think his name was, born 1990, came on with 20 minutes left and provided two beautiful crosses for assists to Klose. He was also the player of the tournament in the FIFA U-17 World Cup that just ended.

Bayern is just stomping the bundesliga, and their my no.1 pick for the Uefa Cup.

Arsenal is defenitly favorite for the Premiership, but Champion's league wise they will have to face a monster real madrid(later on).

New manager for Marseille, that should be interesting because they are playing in the CL league.

Obviously most of the attention is on Chelsea and how they will do in the champions league and premiership with mr.grant. Im pretty sure they will finish top 4, but they are not a no.1 contender for sure. Go Man city& Arsenal!

arsenal's pretty scary, you don't know when another of their players is going to explode and have their breakout season. Cesc is on course, Adebayor is doing well so far, who's next >_<

I definitely think Arsenal won't be as strong after Christmas break. Their players have never had the experience of being in a title race and playing a second half of a premiership season that matters. Despite that, Cesc Fabregas is rivaling Kaka as the best midfielder in the world, the kid is absolutely amazing.

yes I saw it. good for la bestia. here is the viid

I dont know if anyone here follows copa sudamericana, but I watched probably the best that i seen in the past months. Botafogo vs River. it was so emotional, a tear dropped down my face and I went nuts crazy. river lost in brazil 1-0, so they had to win in argentina, they started losing 0-1 then 1-1 came then 1-2 for botafogo, everyone though everything was lost, they needed to score 3 goals. Radamel Falcao ( colombian start :D) played probably the best game in his life, scored a hat-trick for river. they won 4-2 with alst goal on minute 92... EL monumental collapsed.

last goal there

Barcelona 4-1 vs zaragosa and then Barcelona 4-1 vs levante

Henry finally scored, and he did a hat-trick! finally T_T i was getting so frustrated with him missing so many chances ahaha. Looks like hes finally adjusting to la ligas style.
Messi is a monster 5 goals in 5 games, could he take the golden ball away from Kaka?

for you epl monkeys, Are united fans happy with tevez? I mean he only scored 1 goal so far, but I just seen last game like the one that united won 1-0 and he ran like every ball and tryed really hard. what do people say about him there?

in other news, Riquelme got called for the WCQ games.

if messi take the golden ball away for doing what he is doing at spanish league against zaragoza's and levante's, comparing to what kaka did against bayern munich's, manchester's and the only good thing he did against liverpool: pass, then i'll really stop watching football.

[edit] haha only now I saw the last game of river

its cool how far he was from the ball and came in running, noone saw him hahaha

If Fabregas leads Arsenal to Premiership + CL victory, he will have a good shot at the Golden Ball.

not gonna happen though

, and if anyone leads his team to league + CL victory or just CL victory and plays amazing, that player will probably win the golden ball. Last year if manchester united won the champions league Ronaldo would've gotten the golden ball 100%

i'm a manu fan at heart, but if i were to choose a team to win the epl aside from manu, it would definitely have to be arsenal...they're playing really well and i'm really happy for them despite their troubles...all they gotta do is keep their nucleus intact and they have a very, very bright future ahead of them

Premiership: van Persie was the bomb this weekend vs Sunderland. Man.U gave an insane beating to Wigan(offense problem solved?). Liverpool is on a little slump and blame it on the rotation policy or Crouch, they will have to step it up. They almost lost the game! Chelsea is obviously in a battle for Champions league spot and not the premiership title. Man City keeps on rolling also and im excited to see them doing so well.

La Liga: This year looks like the typical La Liga standing; Valencia -Barcelona-Real Madrid. Messi is on fire, while R.Madrid is playing like a team(finally). Hopefully Valencia and Villareal will keep things interesting by winning their games.

SerieA: Inter as the lead, but i believe all these injuries will slow them down and this might be Roma`s year. Juventus will probably keep on doing well but i just dont see them winning it all just after being promoted. And whats up with AC Milan?? Kaka is playing very well, but the rest of the team seems to be slowing down big time(age perhaps?). Hopefully they can salvage their season by finishing 3rd/4th for Champions League.

Bundesliga: Nothing to exciting concerning ``the winner``, because theres no way bayern will lose the lead. However Champions League spot(2nd&3rd) will be interesting. HSV and Werder Bremen will probably take them but Karlsruhe(a promoted team!!??!!?) is 2nd!! What is up!. I hope i can catch one of their game because this is quite interested.

Ligue1: As Nancy still on top(their name is Nancy and they wear pink jersey, no pun intended). Lyon is coming back despite getting trashed in the champions league. I only see those 2 teams battling it this year for the top. On the other hand, Marseille is in the relegation zone(despite beating Liverpool 1-0!). Hopefully they wake up and at least save their season by not getting relegated. Their midfielders are SO BAD they make NCAA soccer players look pro.

Good stuff!
