In the early match CSKA Moscow and Sevilla have drawn 1-1. So it's advantage to the Spanish side in the fixture.

Channel 1 of VSS coming through bright and strong at the moment. Way hay!

Teams in the tunnel now. All the chatter is about the Mourinho effect.

Ah, the San Siro - it's one of the great citadels of world football and it is buzzing tonight.

Kick off time!

Honestly, if you can't get excited about a match like this, you just don't really like footer that much, do you?

Cracking atmosphere at the start of the match.

Blimey! Julio Cesar was in a car accident with his Masserati at the weekend and he's showing the afters on his face.

2:48 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

GOAL! Only three minutes in and Inter's leading scorer Milito opens the scoring here. You might fault Cech for not covering his near post, but then again he was completely exposed there.

1-0 Inter!

2:49 PM

That's exactly the start that we would have wanted in this tie. It opens the match up nicely. Inter might try to "bolt the door," but we all know the risks of doing that with Chelski. They have too many weapons.

2:50 PM

First yellow card goes to Inter's Thiago Motta for a high boot on Mr. Bollocks.

2:54 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Kalou did well there to skip through a couple of challenges but his final shot was straight at the Julio Cesar.

2:57 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Lucio is also having a montrous night putting in big tackles on Malouda and Kalou early on. Inter very definitely on the back foot at this point.

2:58 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Eto'o tries a Van Basten effort from a narrow angle and it just never was going to come off, was it?

2:58 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Bollocks picks up a useful free kick there.

2:59 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

OOOOH - Drogba hit a vicious shot that wreaked havoc on the crossbar. Julio Cesar was in no man's land there. What a let off for Inter!

3:00 PM

Two early goals in that WBA v. Reading match. 1-1 at the Hawthorns.

3:03 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Drogba turned well there but he was unbalanced when he tried to finish.

3:04 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Milito is looking for a penalty and he only earns himself a yellow card. Rightly so. No contact and he's trying to con the ref. Well done, ref.

3:07 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

And here's another yellow card - Kalou goes into the book for a rash one.

3:08 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oh, Drogba hits a lovely volley and he was mighty close to an equalizer.

3:09 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Lucio again cleaning up there after Maicon has let Kalou blow by him.

3:13 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Mikel tries a pop but it's well handled by Cesar.

3:14 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oh - big let-off for Chelski. They were ripped apart but Eto'o swung and missed when he seemed more likely to score.

Hey Bob,
I am here and not here. I am working on our mudroom with tiling. I did have a snow day. Nasty storm yesterday

Just put on a soccer special thanks to Justin

3:21 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oh dear - Chelski were done in again and Cech was saved by a heavy touch from Maicon.

3:23 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Welcome, Dave! Glad to hear that you're weathering the storm well. Cracking match going on at the San Siro.

Five minutes left of an enthralling half.

3:24 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Eto'o caught offside there. He's looked a bit off his game tonight.

3:27 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Roman Pavlyuchenko has shot Spurs into the lead at Shite Fart Lane. Should be Leeds in that tie, of course.

3:30 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Only one added minute to this first half. Chelski need to sort themselves out at the interval. They've been ripped apart at times. They could be two or three down.

3:31 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Well, well, well. Kalou went down looking for a penalty there. The ref waves him off but there's no yellow card.

Ref blows for half time while there are still whistles going around the stadium.

3:32 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

The replay shows that Samuel caught the back of Kalou's heel. Should have been a spotkick IMHO.

3:32 PM

I'm off to set up my classroom. Back in a tick.

3:33 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

SS says that was a stonewall penalty. I disagree

Spurs are two up

3:36 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

You didn't see contact there? I thought so.

3:43 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

A Jaaskelainen own goal has made it 2-0 Spurs now.

Gabby Ags has opened the scoring for Villa against Palace.

3:45 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Butch Wilkins sounds like Chelski still think that they can get back into this one tonight. Definitely, the tie is far from over.

All to play in the second half. Unfortunately, I've got to run up to a 4 pm class. Enjoy it, mate!

2159: The Stoke fans are signing "You'll be sacked in the morning" to Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini. I wonder if he understands - I mean, football chants are hard to make out at the best of times.

Thanks for the Wide, Wide World of Sports coverage there, UWS!

So I'd say advantage Chelski both in the Cup and now in their second leg in the CL against Inter.
