Today's football

I'm surprised that Drogba didn't start for Chelsea as they could really do with his physical presence up front. Stoke have done well to keep so far, keeping Chelsea to 0-0 and only really troubling the Chelsea area with crosses into the box which have more often than not ended up in Cech's hands or with Cech being fouled. Standard Stoke. Given that we don't compete with Chelsea for league positioning, I'd rather Chelsea won and battered Stoke. Also nothing to do with having 3 scummers in my fantasy team.

Can't wait for the big one tonight, Real vs Barca in the 1st leg. Should be entertaining.

Real and Barca play each other more in a season than do Rangers and Celtic. What makes this "the big one?"

[Mr_Moon]

Something to do with being the best two teams in the World perhaps?

I would put forward our very own Manchester United. I believe they would beat Real Madrid more often than not.

Oh well Ashley young makes it 2 - 1 to United Now saying Steve Reid put it in the net.
Good old Roy making first sub at 85 mins.
Roy Hodgson (W.B.A.) is making a first substitution, with Gonzalo Jara replacing Steven Reid

[Mr_Moon]

Man Utd are bridging the gap in the gulf between them and Barca & Madrid by signing Ashley Young whilst playing Cleverley as their holding player.

And Im quite happy to see Barca losing

[clintclintdeuce]

My point was that, since they play each other several times every season, what was it about tonight's match that made it "THE BIG ONE."

It's the most exciting and watched fixture in the football calendar.

More so than the other half dozen times they'll play this season?
