lol holders Valencia were knocked out of the UEFA Cup by Steaua Bucharest on penalties 4-3 (2-2 AET), Baraja & di Vaio missing the spotkicks...

This season just keeps getting worse for Ranieri :(

Bremen-Lyon

Lyon are my dark horses for the tournament, they were stunning in the group stages 17 goals and only one loss in 26 games in France. They're attack looks pretty awesome with Juninho Pernambucano, Sylvain Wiltord, Frau, Govou and Essien, plus Coupet's an excellent keeper who marshalls his defence well. Lyon should go through, but as always German teams always hang in there so it should be good.

Also, having d/l'd the game I never realised how good Abidal, Cris and Malouda were for Lyon. Especially Abidal. The rest of the team are pretty well known but these three shocked me with how good they are.

Lyon are a really solid team and whatever "Big" team plays them next round better not underestimate them. They are good.

Barca slam 'pathetic' losers Chelsea
--------------------------------------------------------

Chelsea have been accused of being 'pathetic' bad losers following their Champions League defeat by Barcelona - and are set to face further embarrassment if UEFA throw out a claim that the Spanish club's coach Frank Rijkaard entered referee Anders Frisk's dressing room at half-time.

The Premiership leaders allege the Barca boss was spotted leaving the room used by the Swedish official.


UEFA have already said that their own tunnel representative witnessed nothing out of the ordinary during the half-time break and it is the Londoners who are likely to be on the receiving end of any punishment after failing to turn-up for the compulsory press conference after their 2-1 defeat.

The referee is not expected to include any of the alleged incidents in his report to UEFA - making Chelsea's case look wafer thin.

Barcelona assistant coach Henk Ten Cate has branded Chelsea's expected complaint to UEFA'pathetic'.

Ten Cate is also angry about a trick played by Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho before kick-off.

Mourinho predicted both starting line-ups, and left Damien Duff out insisting he was injured - but Duff played.

Ten Cate said: 'To react the way Chelsea have is pathetic. Mourinho lied with the line-ups - and now this.'

UEFA spokesman William Gaillard said:'Anders Frisk says Rijkaard greeted him and apologised he had not had the opportunity to say hello before the game.

'We had two UEFA officials there and neither witnessed it. The referee's dressing room was locked and he and his assistants were the only people allowed in.'

UEFA delegate Thomas Giordano added: 'The only unusual thing that happened as far as we are concerned is that Chelsea failed to present themselves in the press conference.

'Nothing abnormal happened at half-time - the coach of Barcelona said hello to the referee, which seems to us an act of someone who is polite and well-educated.'

Frisk was backed by UEFA's head of referees Jermund Nilsson, who said:'If the referee's observer thought something was wrong he would have said so. I am assured that Frisk did nothing wrong and from what I understand Chelsea have very definitely over reacted.'

Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser. To be honest that's what makes this Chelsea squad good. They have a manager and senior players who refuse to lose and hate to concede. It's what they were missing under Ranieri last season.

Fark me, Timmy Cahill is class.

Liverpool can stick 'Arry where it don't shine, Cahill's the best Aussie in the Premiership.

Oh, and Mikel Arteta was awesome for Everton last night too. They've more chance of catching Arsenal than Liverpool have of catching them IMO.

Arteta and Cahill already look better footballer's than Tommy Graveson ever was. Now as long as one of em shaves their head and eats a few more pies, the blue's will be sorted as far as replacing him goes. And how the fuck did Leon Osman get so good all of a sudden? He was shit from what I saw of him before, but he's the mutts nuts this season.

Carling Cup Results

If anyone intends to watch the match later on - dont look.





















Chelsea 3 Liverpool 2. Steven Gerrard own goal! Mourinho was dismissed from the touchline for inciting Liverpool fans after the own goal.

I cant believe we lost. I honestly convinced myself we'd win. Damn! Damn Chelsea and Mourinho.
