Nervous? I am now!
Worried - yes
For the fans - enjoy and come home safe
Ronaldo - from backstreets of Madiera to the steps of the world, he learnt football the same way as Best & Charlton.
Giggs - can he emulate Bobby Charlton by passing his total tonight?
The players are on the field
oh dear, here we go .................................................. ..................
First 15 minutes.
United have done OK without unlocking the Chelski defence. We normally take 25 minutes to warm up. We are building up calmly, passing the ball, looking for openings but the final ball into the box, up to now, has been a bit disappointing. Both teams coming to grip with the pace of the pitch early on. Ronaldo looks hungry as does Carlos with some neat touches from him. Rooney is working hard producing little at present. Rio and vidic at the back, supported by Brown and Evra have had a good start too. Carrick needs to come more into the game but Hargreaves is doing really well. Scholes too is working hard. He must not tackle anyone though!!
Great team spirit from United - I am optimistic.
Very annoying to see Chelski whinging at the referee at every opportunity, Ballack in particular. Cry babies comes to mind. Paul Scholes was yellow carded on the 20th minute for another stupid Scholes tackle on Makalele, too late, too hard and Chelski cry like babies. I hate players doing that "Mummy!!! He stole my dummy!" Chelsi giving away kick after kick, they are playing like they are actually SCARED!!! United can capitalise on that fear.
26 min: Ronaldo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1-0 28 mins: chelski are such cry babies!!!! Crying again over a fair tackle! 30 Mins: United a goal to the good and looking good. Possession 65/35 to United. 33 mins. Ballack nearly equalises but what was VdS doing, he was player watching? 34 mins: Cech keeps Chelski down to 0-1 with two fabulous saves from Tevez and then Brown!!!! Superb attacking from United. 37 mins: Chelski are most definitely NOT a team; you can see the difference in attitude and commitment. They cry amd moan and show childish anger gestures when decisions do not go their way. Ronaldo has Essien in knots!!! 40 mins: Ashley Cole screams at ref when he fell over, expecting a penalty!!! 42 mins: Great pass from Rooney, Tevez, unsighted, misses the shot, he could have had 2 tonight. 42 mins: Lampard goes down like he has been shot from a bit of a charge from booked Rio. 44 mins: Ballacks resulting free kick goes well over. Took long enough to take. 45 mins: 1-1 Fat cheating Frank. Undeserved ....................... 45+1 mins: Makelele again!!! Moaning and butting in where not required!!!
