Congrats to Arsenal and Chelsea, now for us to do England proud

All in all, its been a good night for English football. Arsenal survived a late scare against PSV Eindhoven to hold on for a 1-0 home win whilst Chelsea secured an easy win over Paris St. Germain.

Tomorrow's test against Lyon won't be an easy one. Thankfully they have top scorer Elber out with injury and so we'll be facing ex-gunner Wiltord. We now have Ruud coming back to match fitness and O'Shea is also back from his injury. Hopefully he'll play at right back, instead of P. Neville who looked a bit out of sorts against Bolton. Fergie has already stated that he'll play Howard, and I'm glad of this because even though he's made a couple of mistakes this term already, I still think he's a class keeper.

In other news, Keane has been accused of assaulting a teenager, lets hope he's innocent of any wrongdoing...

Good luck to the Red Devils, we'll need every bit of luck we can get....
Re. the latest Keano story - I've read the alleged incident wasn't reported to the authorities until over a week after the event was supposed to have happened... No doubt the 'victim's' story will be sold to the Mirror soon.... enough said...

Yeah, I can't figure out the point of arbitrarily supporting other teams - except that prolonged European commitments may distract from the Premiership?! If Utd are to win the Champions League (this season) then we have to rely on Chelsea and Arsenal crashing out...
Personally, I'll be mightily relieved if we can win the FA cup or the Mickey Mouse cup again... anything bigger would need a miracle to eclipse the last three minutes of that famous night in Barcelona '99.
How many Utd players would get into Chelsea's team or Arsenal's? RVN definitely and perhaps Ronaldo, as for the rest???

Only English bit is the location of the ground? You Twat... Chelsea have more players in England team than Manure or Arse... plus Scottie Parker and Glen Johnsen to come in... oh and Carlton Cole? Utd are on the way down - make the most of your history as your the next Liverpool.... livin on past glories.

Come on the Chelsea.
Fuck Man Utd

I'm not 'arbitarily' supporting Arsenal or Chelsea. I am English, hence I would much prefer teams from England progressing further than teams from Spanish or Italian countries. If we happen to play them later on then of course I will be supporting United, but I'm PROUD to be British and therefore I will ALWAYS support English teams in Europe.
