Wow 2-1 Milan. Oh man, two Man U defenders took themselves out and Kaka puts it away.

 

EDIT: Man U's defense is horrible right now. I know they don't have their top of the line D but still, this is just bad.

There's no excuse for getting abused like that on a one man break against three defenders and a GK.

[Jon]

That one really hurts for Man U. Wide open chance shot off the corner.

Does Paul Scholes ever do anything good? I swear every Man U match I watch the announcers end up talking about how Scholes hasn't done much in the game.

 

And Gattuso is actually hurt this time. That's a surprise.

[Jon]

Kaka couldn't connect on back to back chances for the hat trick. He's getting close, though.

HUGE goal for Man U by Rooney to tie it up.

I think Scholes heard you.

Lol. He must have.

 

Man U seem to have a gotten a second wind with that tying goal. I wouldn't be surprised to see them put in another here. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised to see Milan put in a third.

[Jon]

Yeah, Manchester United has really turned it on here. But it seems like either team could score at any minute right now.

[Jon]

Holy crap what a huge goal by Rooney.

[soccer10k]

WOW WOW WOW. Unbelievable. My how the tables have turned.

[Jon]

2 away goals or not, this has to be a huge disappointment for AC Milan. They seemed to have such a solid grip on the game.

[circlechange]

That was awesome. United looked so much better after Rooney's 1st goal. Next Wednesday should be fun but the MU back 4 is still worrisome.

[Jon]

The Fire are denying the Zidane/2nd DP rumors, but it's still quite possible that AEG hasn't really notified them of the talks.

[Jon]

They're jumping on the rumor across the pond.

[Balsa]

ROONEY! ROONEY! ROONEY!

[MPC]

two away goals for milan is huge but the rooney goal in the 90th is a huge blow. if it would be 2-2 back to italy, milan would be in the drivers seat. now? we'll see but next week should be good.

 

c'mon chels.

Well I had the right winner and by the right margin for today's game, just not the right score.

[soccer10k]

A few minutes late but that was a good finish by Joe Cole following a great job with the ball by Drogba to get it to Cole. 1-0 Chelsea.

[MPC]

Chelsea 1 Liverpool 0

 

Very happy with the result. Chelsea dominated the first half and held Liverpool just enough in the second half.

Name on the trophy!

 

At one point today MU was down 2-0 and Chelsea up 2-1. 30 minutes later United wins 4-2, Chelsea draws 2-2, and United is 5 points clear with 3 games to go.

Yeah, Man U's all but got this thing wrapped up. They can lose to Chelsea, tie either Man City or West Ham, and still win because they have a better goal differential than Chelsea. I can't believe Chelsea blew this game at home.

terrible, disappointing performance by chelsea today. as the game progressed, it looked like the title was in reach. all of that changed within in a half an hour. now the title is extremely unlikely and chelsea has no one to blame but themselves. hopefully the fa cup and champions league are their goals now.

I haven't seen the match yet (downloading it now) but I saw highlights of the goals and I have to ask, where on earth was the Chelsea defense on the second goal? Two guys wide open on the far post? Horrible marking.

horrible marking is right. if davies didn't head it in, the guys standing right behind would have. chelsea's defense has been shaky this year. thatn god petr cech has recovered from his head injury the past 3 months. they have no one to blame but themselves.
