ManU vs. AS Roma - holyshÃtholyshÃtholyshÃt.
For some reason, your statement pretty much sums it up. I was going give some dumb analogy about how the Roma thrashing at ManU was like the period at the end of a Hemingway sentence, but just thought better of it.
I guess they wanted to make sure they advanced...
Well, it seems the semi-finals have been decided. Liverpool beat out PSV Eindhoven 1-0 on Anfield (winning 4-0 agg.) and proceeds to meet Chelsea in the semis on their home-court on April 24th. 2nd match a week later.
AC Milan beat Bayern Munich 2-0 at Allianz Arena in Germany. They won 4-2 on aggregate. AC Milan goes on to meet at Old Trafford against Manchester United on the 24th.
I think I can see the outcome of the Manchester-Milan game, but Liverpool-Chelsea is gonne get interresting. And I might even get some tickets for the Finals! Yay! A collegue of my father can't go and we might get his tickets. Screw final exams, this gets priority!
West Ham was pants against the Blades today. Good grief, it was Sheffield U we're talking about. I love how this teams somehow gets results from quality sides (Such as an Arsenal win that should have never, ever happened and a crazy 1-0 result against ManU in Dec) but then walk out there and get smoked.
Bastards.
I'd root for Fulham (America) United, keeping with London clubs, but they look like crap too and I'm not sure they're going to survive either.
Listening to the results as they come in, and West Ham refuse to just go down, while Watford are now doomed.
I've always been a critic of the relegation dogfight (creates an elite upper class of clubs, competition to see who is least worst), but I have to admit, there's a ton of drama about it. What do you all think? And does MLS need it?
My Hammers played out of their minds offensively today. They really tried to give away at least 2 points and possibly all 3 though on just boneheaded moves around Green's box. The Hammers should've definitely made more of their chances, but Howard had a pretty fine match to keep Everton close.
I love the relegation dogfight, even if my side still can get out, though a win next week really makes things interesting for Wigan, the Blades, and the Hammers. I think they shouldn't just institute it for MLS, but they should consider it for MLB and College Football, especially College Ball... just rank out the 100+ teams and guarantee good games all around and end this pounding on the puffballs that goes on early season between top programs and DII programs.
MLS? Eh, not so much. There's just not enough teams for them to create something like that. Now, perhaps if they joined with, say Mexico's league, that might be viable.
I had a feeling this week that Bolton would throw a total monkey wrench into Chelsea's season, and lo and behold. With three to play, ManU are now five points ahead of Chelsea, and barring an epic collapse, should win the Premiership. Chelsea, meanwhile, have lost Ricardo Carvalho and Michael Ballack to injury, with a trip to Anfield for a chance to play in the CL Final looming on Tuesday. It's going to take all of Mourinho's know-how and ability for this, because Chelsea's season could very well implode Tuesday afternoon.
The "Great Escape" continues for West Ham with escape from punishment for the whole Tevezcherano deal and a huge win over relegation rivals Wigan. With Charlton having been demolished by Blackburn the scene at the bottom is looking quite clogged...
15 Sheff Utd 36 -19 38
16 Fulham 35 -19 36
17 Wigan 36 -22 35
18 West Ham 36 -27 35
19 Charlton 36 -24 33
20 Watford 36 -32 24Fulham play Arsenal tomorrow.
I'm glad you threw that in there for me. I didn't even get to see or keep up with the crucial game because I had to coach a girls rec team during game time - ack! I'm just happy they didn't crap the bed a la Sheffield U. Now they just need a draw against ManU, if nothing else (lets go 1-0 win!) and I know they'll have a boatload of transitory supporters wearing Blue rooting for them to upset the boys in Red.
Chelsea's season has come undone. Liverpool wins it on penalties meaning that all Chelsea has left to play for is the FA Cup. In a week, they've lost their chance at the PRemiership (short of a miracle) and the Champions League. Obviously, this won't bode well for Mr. Mourinho's job prospects, especially given how poor Chelsea were, as opposed to some sheer lunacy from the Special One.
They'll be back in the race when West Ham thumps ManU for that last game of the season. =)
Good day for the Claret and Blues. West Ham and Tevez brutally assaulted Bolton who seemed to play uninspired (where are you Big Sam?) football, while Villa cracked the whip on Sheffield U to keep that relegation race the only interesting one left now that Man U has pretty much wrapped up the race with their win in the Manchester Derby.
Here's to Man U resting their starters for the final game (crosses fingers)
Whew.
I'm ruined the seat cushion I was on while watching Tevez drag the Hammer's carcass (with some help from Green and Benayoun! Benayoun! the defensive stalwart!) the final length to keep their heads above water... especially after Sheffield did their level best to work the Hammers out of it by getting smoked at home.
I can't say it was a wonderful season, but it was a wonderful season.
Now it is off to see if Tevez is legal.
I am so seriously pissed off about the FA Cup final. It's just so freaking typical of Chelsea to be so unnaturally lucky. Robbing ManU from The Double. Argh!

Reading the text commentary on Saturday while listening to the cricket, Mark Lawrenson from the BBC made the comment: "This is a good advert for the cricket season." Amen.
Who's going to watch Liverpool - AC Milan on Wednesday?

It is now the *only* game in town, excepting MLS action. Go FC Dallas!
