ruud Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Chelsea should win the league cup! lets just wait and see, masyadong improbable na...<{POST_SNAPBACK}> with 10 games to go. things could change esp when bottom teams are fighting to escaperelegation, i dont think its going to be a walk in the park. united dropped 2 points against palace, but u could understand why ferguson reserved rooney,ronaldo and scholes until the last 15 minutes of the game. they are preparing for san siro.which is a very prestigous league. they tried to salvage the game, but just too unlucky ...they got lots of possesion, attempts but nothings seems to fall in. we never die!! we never die!! we keep the red flag flying high ... coz man united never die!! :cool: Quote Link to comment
damaso Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Chelsea should win the league cup! lets just wait and see, masyadong improbable na...<{POST_SNAPBACK}> chelsea did win the league cup. they are however, out of the FA cup, which is the REAL cup competition of england. almost all the premiership teams field reserves for the league cup, which i think is a joke. they should just scrap that competition and have one cup like the rest of europe. so even if chelsea wins the premiership (which is a virtual lock), and manage to win the uefa champions league, it won't be considered as winning THE treble. "the treble" is winning your country's top league and cup competitions, plus the UEFA champions/European cup. and yes, ruud, man utd was the last team to achieve the treble. ajax (not real madrid) has done it the most, 3 times.

damaso Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 damn, barcelona is out of the champions league. they lost to chelsea 4-2 in a pulsating encounter, going down 5-4 on aggregate. cech is an incredible goalkeeper, and joe cole just tore van bronckhurst to shreds. at this level, barcelona needs to strengthen its defence. van bronckhurst was just horrible, and his replacement, silvinho, is more an attacking fullback. same could be said for belleti. u can easily tell that chelsea is miles ahead on defense. they look so solid and organized at the back. i think rijkaard also made a mistake in choosing gerard over demetrio albertini to replace the injured rafa marquez as holding midfielder. and iniesta over giuly was questionable too. its good to give young players playing time, but on matches of this magnitude, u need experienced players. rijkaard needs to find a big solid defender. someone in the mold of sol campbell or rio ferdinand. tall, strong, and good in the air. until he finds one, the barca defense will always be suspect, esp in set pieces.

howard_the_duck Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 (edited) Hahaha Chelsea advances to the next stage, via a squeaker.Sino ang susunod na kalabansa Champs lge? As for the FA Cup and the Premiership, I look at them as co-equals, especially now that premiership clubs semd lghtened teams to the FA Cup matches. Other UEFA Champions League results:Chelsea 4-2 FC Barcelona (Agg.: 5-4)AC Milan 1-0 Manchester United (Agg.: 2-0)Lyon 7-2 Werder Bremen (Agg.: 10-2) Upcoming matches and my predictions in bold:Juventus v.

ron9 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I was rooting for Barca but the game did not disappoint. It was a fantastic game of attacking football. Mourinho must be give some praise for having the balls to have four attackers from the very beginning - Duff, Kezman, Gudjohnssen, Cole. It proved to be the right strategy as it exploited Barca's sometime suspect defense. Ronaldinho's second goal was just pure magic. I was rooting for Barca but I could'nt be that disappointed because it was a wonderful game to watch. And coming from a land so obsessed with basketball, watching football at its highest intensity and form is a blessing. Chelsea vs AC Milan next round? Another good match to watch.

ron9 Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 yup marquez was not playing...a consolation is that now we hope barcelona can focus on maintaining their lead in la liga and win it for the champions league i'll be rooting for ac milan! Quote Link to comment
