Oh, BTW.. MLS Allstars beat Chelsea 1-0. MLS midfield totally dominated the Chelsea midfield of Lampard, Ballack and Essien.
Re: The worst transfer rumors are the ones we tell ourselves [R] Don't do that, 433tom! It's not a "by the way" - it has nothing to do with transfers to Utd. I know there's an R in the title but I did not expect to see the result of the MLS/Chelsea game in this thread. I've just watched my recording of the Utd/Ajax game and had left the MLS game for later. I deliberately avoided the results sites so as not to spoil my enjoyment of the game and I come to look at the transfer rumours and this greets me :
Re: The worst transfer rumors are the ones we tell ourselves [R] OMG! That just made my day! You gotta be shitting me.
Re: The worst transfer rumors are the ones we tell ourselves [R] I think what he meant to say was ... he wouldn't tell you how Obi Mikel did, nor would he mention who limped off, nor what Lampard thought of the grass in Chicago. Just that a former transfer target of United's, Mikel, had a game against a competitive MLS side. As for other targets, sad news about United's major signing thus far. I wish him godspeed in his return so he can solidify the United midfield. I'm curious whether SAF has something up his sleeve that may not have hit the papers. For some reason, something keeps telling me he does. -Digital
Re: The worst transfer rumors are the ones we tell ourselves [R] I'm sorry. I was making a post about the Mascherano story and I thought I would just mention that Ballack and Essien did not impress in the game, and there were really no threads here to cover the post. I just didn't think. It was stupid and I apoligize. Regards, Tom
Re: The worst transfer rumors are the ones we tell ourselves [R] Apologies accepted. But if you're ears are not burning they must be made of asbestos. You have been called some names this morning
Re: The worst transfer rumors are the ones we tell ourselves [R] If I could, I would fall on my corner flag to cleanse myself of disgrace. Thank you for accepting my apology.
Re: The worst transfer rumors are the ones we tell ourselves [R] Ballack and Shevchenko only played the first half.
Re: The worst transfer rumors are the ones we tell ourselves [R] I shall watch the match now for the satisfaction of seeing Chelsea beaten and hope for many more such matches this coming season
Re: The worst transfer rumors are the ones we tell ourselves [R] I know they are not fit yet. But it is a bit satisfying they were outplayed while on the field.
Re: The worst transfer rumors are the ones we tell ourselves [R] They weren't outplayed. They outplayed themselves. The midfield was clogged, I really don't see how this team will function like this.
Re: The worst transfer rumors are the ones we tell ourselves [R] Well the Americans certainly didn't find the midfield clogged. They played very much in a Continental style. Short passing, ball control, attacked through the middle. They were actually very good technically. The could have won by 2 or 3 goals with better finishing. You can argue that Chelsea are not fully fit, but on the flipside, the the MLS all-star team had virtually no practice together. I was very impressed with how well they played with each other. You have to credit the Americans with a result well deserved. But we really need to get back on topic. I apoligize again for posting the score.
Re: The worst transfer rumors are the ones we tell ourselves [R] And which coach led them? Peter Nowak. He's on his way to becoming the best ever coach the MLS has seen. Forget Klinsi for your national team. Get this guy up there. Nah but seriously, good on MLS. I was going to say though, every body celebrate with me as we rejoice the down fall of Bayern Munich. Werder Bremen beat them 2-0 in the German Cup final. Werder Bremen are one of the teams I like to watch from Germany, and occasionally hamburg. But Werder specially because of their attack.
Well not that I know of, but I could get you some hilights if you are interested. EDIT: couldnt even get that for some reason. I might just download the torrent myself. But if you are interested, here is the game winning goal.

Joe Cole picked up ligament damage in the first 5 minutes of his apperance in the game...he may be out for weeks. He's the only player I can stand on Chelsea, I kind of feel bad for him. But more problems for Chelsea is good for us
Re: The worst transfer rumors are the ones we tell ourselves [R] A CANADIAN DOWNED CHELSKI!!!! LOVE IT!!
Re: The worst transfer rumors are the ones we tell ourselves [R] I think Chelski will be in trouble after watching that game.. Balack and Lampard don't mix. Unless that team figures out how to make it all work they might have some trouble they looked really weak in the center where they should be dominating and their deffence was just like
Come on peope... be realistic... Chelsea have two bloody 1st teams to chose from...with those kind of resources it will be business as usual. Cole is out, so what. It hardly dents their squad, if it s aserious injury they'll simply go out and blow another £20m on someone else. Now Makelele on the other hand....
