Thank God for you.
I was starting to think that I'm indeed biased and seeing things. Good to see that others are also noticing it.
I strongly advise you to keep the thoughts. This is Jack who is agreeing with you here after all :D

That's a given but Arsenal tend to appear clueless against teams like CSKA.
I actually think you are right. Arsenal will suffer the most against CSKA. Against ManU it would be a quick death. They won't even feel the pain :p

Chelsea have been on the wain this season, and that is why the Inter win is neither a shock, nor a sign of their greatness. They are one of the lesser teams remaing in the competition.

43 points in the Fantasy football so far and I still have three players to play tomorrow ;) And I also had Carrick and Alonso with 0 points.

Despite being off form lately(so have Inter mind you, but anyway) Chelsea are still one of the toughest teams in Europe to beat. Credit where its due, Inter played a great game.

    For those who wondered why did Mourinho start with Pandev and Eto'o on the sides:

    “Chelsea are a very predictable side, they always play exactly the same way, but it's tough to take them on because they are predictably suited to their players.

    “Ivanovic and Zhirkov attack, so we'd be forced to defend. If they are under pressure, they have to think twice before pushing forward. In fact they were not as effective as usual and we played the kind of game we wanted.”

    Didn't I say that a few pages ago?

    Ancelotti's only chance was to play a 4-4-2, it would have surprised the shit out of Mourinho. I always thought that Ancelotti lacks the tactical spark to create something different, he's a great organiser and man manager but he lacks that extra that outsmarts world class managers.

    Did you see a great game?
    I saw a snidey, messy, scrappy game between two teams of little real class.
    As a manager- or even a fan- of any other team remaining, I would be more than pleased to be drawn against Inter. Mind Mouriniho has created another dirty and cynical team in his own mode.

    My Greek girlfriend is cheering for Olympiakos but supports Panathynaikos because the stadium is right down the street from where she lives :shifty:

    I hope play Panathynaikos in the UEFA...she needs put in her place.

    I don't even know if I spelled the name correctly :sergio:

    Thats what I love about Mourinho, he knows that defending all game won't get you anything. I swear, if this was any of our last coaches we would be playing with some crazy defensive formation and Brazzo and De Ceglie on the flanks.

    Agree

    On a side note it was amusing to watch dogba sent off with the sky commentator saying, " thats a disgrace" :D

    not only did it decrease the effect of the fullbacks of chelsea, but it really showed how good these two fullbacks really are.

    if you did not get it ... i was being sarcastic. both did not provide anything to the attack but STILL left gaping wholes behind them ... it was pretty caceres'esque ^^

    funny how high those both guys were rated, when we were supposedly after them ...

    i'll say it again ... a fullback has to be a defender first and then an attacker and not some bosingwa'esque athleted that only knows how to run and cross but goes chickedhead in defense (if he even shows up there)

    but thats just my opinion
