Tomorrow morning's paper's are out already.
I like this critique, pointing out the manks are in melt-down:
"When it goes," Ferguson said as that Blackburn side started to wobble, "it goes quickly, and there is nothing you can do about it." Those words look truer than ever now.

I've been reading the scumblogs.
Here's the reason mufc only drew v Porto. All devil worshippers believe "it is written" that only mufc are allowed to win at the theatre of queens and tonight the ref only played 5 minutes of added time. Fergie said it should have been until mufc scored!!!!!

Gutted of Anfield checking in.
LFC started well and really should have been three or four in lead before Chelsea realised what had hit them, but Chelsea were pretty resilient. They sucker punched LFC at two corners and the only pass that Ballack got right all night allowed Miluda round the defence for cross-goal ball which that nuisance Drogba slid in.
Rafa's tactics were great in the first 20 minutes, but Guus Hiddink countered them. Sadly Rafa failed to respond. Lucas had lots of space but he didn't know what to do with it, and Chelsea were quite happy forcing Liverpool out to the wings, where too often they failed to proceed.
There was an amazing crash between John Terry and Pepé Reina right in front of in the Anfield Road end. Terry came off worse as he was thumped by Reina's shoulder and was rightly yellow carded. So he misses the leg at Stamford Bridge.
Liverpool need to win at Chelsea, to maintain pride and dignity, even if they fail to proceed.
PS: The pre-match Carlsberg in the Sandon was better than usual.

As you'll know, Everton beat MancU in the semi-final of the FA cup in a penalty shoot out. The MancU players who missed their penalties were two of the most expensive transfers ever, costing over £60M for them both.
It was not the greatest match ever played, but there are several points of note.
Moysie, the Everton Manager alludes that the referee is a MancU fan and has given MancU 11 penalites during the last 17 times he has reffed matches involving MancU.
There is an incident in the Everton penalty area, and the ref decides "no penalty".
Here's Lord fergie's response:

(If there are any indigienous Americans around, can you let me know if this is a war or rain dance?)
Here's the list so far of the MancU excuses.
1. Everton got at the ref and fixed him.
2. The turf wasn''t fit to play.
3. The turf was so bad the star players did not play for fear of injury.
4. The star players did not play because there is a match next Wednesday - ranked 10 places lower than Everton so are needed.
5. Although MancU want to win 5 trophies and set a record, this one doesn't really count so they weren't really seeking to win all five.
6. MancU needed to introduce some new young players to the team and this was the best possible time to do it - an FA Cup semi-final.
Boy, have we laughed this weekend
So it's Everton v Chelsea for the FA Cup on 30th May, and COYB! (Come on yous Blues!!)

I'm pretty sure that was what would be called a "ghost dance", used to try to bring about an alternate reality that one wishes for. Has Fergie considered auditioning for the American TV show called "Dancing With the Stars"? He might be a natural. And he's worried about Rafa's gestures??? ![]()

It wasn't broadcast here in the States, but what an amazing match from all accounts vs. The Arsenal. 4-4 FT with seven 2nd half goals! Three goals came in a 6 minute span, and then two more goals were scored within three minutes right at the end.
Come on Portsmouth tomorrow!!
So, half way through the 2nd half, hubby says 'come here and hold this bookcase steady while I get my tools'. From the other room I hear the goal that makes it 3-3. Guess who came back and found the bookcase leaning precariously up by itself - are you MAD??!!! I do believe even jk3 would have got excited at that game
Poor Gerard was in the studio, suit & tie, trying to answer 'so how do you feel about that result?'
