What you missed while dead jellyfish littered the shores of Northern Ireland (with pictures!)…
- Chelsea 1 – 0 Manchester United. Darren Fletcher blames Arsene Wenger for the “poor refereeeing” Manchester United’s been victimized by this season.
- Olympique Lyonnais 5 – 5 Olympique de Marseille; Marseille led 4-2 with ten minutes remaining.
- Landon Donovan’s penalty kick was all that separated the Galaxy from Chivas USA; David Beckham will miss England’s friendly with Brazil as a result of the Galaxy advancing to the semifinals of the MLS Playoffs.
- Speaking of the England squad: you can either title this story “Bent Included in Capello’s Squad” or “Owen Left Out of Capello’s Squad”. Whichever way works for you.
- Fernando Torres has been left out of the Spanish national team’s squad due to the fact that he’s playing with a hernia; Cristiano Ronaldo, however, was named to Portugal’s roster.
- Hull City legend Steve McClaren’s FC Twente just won their eighth straight game in the Eredivisie. I wonder where he might coach next…?
- Samuel Eto’o would like to end his career at Mallorca.
- Thiago Silva scored twice in AC Milan’s 2-1 win over Lazio; unfortunately, it wasn’t in the way he probably was intending.
Who does Darren Fletcher blame the kick Jonny Evans planted squarely in Didier Drogba’s chest on? Probably Rafa Benitez, he’s sort of sneaky.
It doesn’t surprise me a bit that those swine in Northern Ireland would kill all those innocent Jellyfish. Treacherous bastards, the whole bunch.
And perhaps Evans kicked Drogba in the chest because Drogba deserved to get kicked in the chest? Really, there’s no excuses to be made. CSKA London squeaked one out. At some point SAF needs to accept that teams can do that, because he’s had a horseshoe hidden at times, too.
The bar really liked the “Help me I’m having a seizure!” twitching thing that Drogba did while on the ground.
