UEFA Champions League (Official Thread)

[quote='BusNative;116065;8]2-0 ManU in the 81st min... all but over for Chelsea's bid for the Premiership...[/quote]

Yeah.....2-0 to Man U to clinch the EPL. Congrats to Man U for an awesome season! Chelsea v Bolton ended 1-1....in truth, I think Chelsea knew the result when playing today.

The big question now is whether John Terry's gonna be fit for the CL finals, as he dislocated an elbow during the game.

Ryan Giggs has 10 EPL winners medals now! Is that impressive or what? It was only fitting that he scored the final goal to seal the deal against Wigan.

Giggs is the reason I began to watch more "football" on TV back in 1997. He will be the best ever to don a United uniform. He will play in over 800 games and he will be by far the most decorated player in the history of club football. 10 league titles, 4 FA cups, 2 League/Carling cups and at least 1 CL medal. And the best thing, he will play next year.

Chelsea have cause for worry ahead of the Champions League final with Drogba & Terry suffering injuries against Bolton over the weekend. Here's an article from the BBC.....

BBC SPORT | Football | My Club | Chelsea | Chelsea worry over Terry & Drogba

Chelsea was going to have a hard time of it with those 2 healthy, with them banged up or even out, I like United's chances even more.

Drogba & Terry recover for final

Didier Drogba says he and Chelsea team-mate John Terry will be fit for the Champions League final against Manchester United in Moscow.

Both were injured in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Bolton, with Drogba hurting his knee and Terry dislocating his elbow.

But the Ivory Coast striker told French newspaper L'Equipe there was "nothing serious" about his injury.

And of Terry, he said: "I have spoken to him. He will play in Moscow. No-one wants to miss this gigantic match."

Drogba confirmed that the knee he hurt on Sunday was the same one that had been operated on last December, but said: "I put ice on it immediately. I will be at training this week."

They say that everytime. There is enough time to recover, but I will doubt they are 100%. Maybe 90%. But Drogba at 70% is better than Kalou or Scheva at 110%. Pizzaro is lost and can't find the right stadium and Anelka is out of favor with Grant from before he even signed with Chelsea. Anyway, I hope Chelsea field the best team possible. That way when United lift the trophy no bitching about what would have been if..........

UEFA Cup final is being played today between FC Rangers from Glasgow and FC Zenit from St. Petersburgh. The two clubs have taken very different routes to the finals, and its gonna be hard to pick a winner.

Rangers haven't won a European competition in 36 years, whereas Zenit are playing in their first European competition final. The game will be played at the City of Manchester Stadium, where I am sure the crowd is gonna make this one feel like a Rangers home game.

Through 71 minutes we have a 0-0 scoreline. Not much in the way of scoring although enough chances have been made. Rangers are probably happy with how this is playing out. Hopefully 'Gers will prevail.


Oh I spoke too soon Zenit just scored in the 72nd minute. Look for this to open up alot.

Zenit won the UEFA cup....and they deserved it. After having trounced Bayern Munich in the semis, they were slight favorites....but Rangers pretty much sat back all game (like they have done throughout the competition) and paid the price this time around.

Now for the BIG ONE.....the Champions League final on the 21st.....Man U v Chelsea. Any predictions??

I kindda agree with this prediction, except that I don't really see a game open enough to allow for 4 goals in regulation.....I'm going with 1-1, and Chelsea winning on penalties. I like Cech more as a keeper than Van de Saar in these situations.

I see Vidic & Ferdinand being able to deal with most of what Drogba dishes up in the box, and so if Chelsea are to score it's from set-pieces....such as corners or free-kicks from Ballack & co.

I see more chances for Man U with Ronaldo providing some real headaches for the Chelsea defence.....also likely to score from set-pieces.

Overall I see the game being very tactical and not as entertaining as one would hope for.....typical of most finals.
