Chelsea is a joke, but way fun to watch Oscar, Hazard, and MAta play football.

Does anyone else think Bale is on roids? I hope Everton catch them for 4th.

Liverpool is becoming fun to watch but I just don't see Downing or Henderson having the quality to match up with the higher up teams. No way either starts for Man U, City, Chelsea, or Tottenham. I'll be curious to see what they got in this Cutinho guy.

So which EPL team does Mourinho end up with next year, or does he delay a few more years before taking over for Ferguson?
Bale is definitely using something. Liverpool is fun to watch, I have a couple good friends in their front office and will be doing a trip next fall, I can't wait.

ManU is a beast. They even win comfortably when they are outworked and outplayed.

Champions league Celtic/Juventus on shortly.

bale is on fire and playing some good ball. he will be looking for a stronger team to pick him up.

juve handed it to em today. disappointing

really excited to watch real and united.

i'm trying real hard to keep the liverpool faith. they really have times of good play but can not put the game together. i am doubting that they will surpass their season high seventh place

did u watch ac and barca? not the prettiest of games but......although i admire barca as the best team in soccer ( my god, i almost called it football ) i do like to see them lose occasionally. ac strategy was obviously closing down the middle with a hard defensive stand and play the long ball to el shaarway or wait for a break. very similar game to the celtic defeat of barca where barca controlled the game but could not break the defense. see what happens when they go to spain

so much soccer today, so little time. damn work i hope liverpool pulls their act together today. no sturridge, which sucks. 1 zenit goal and its over....

Well coached game by Milan, not so well by Barcelona. It is one thing to be the best team in the world. It is entirely something else to be unable to adapt to a situation and change your style of play. Laughable as it is, Barcelona would have been better with Peter Crouch out there than Messi yesterday. Nobody, no matter how good, was going to dribble or one two through that Milan defense, they needed to collapse it with long balls and play off the resultant havoc. Milan's coach set it up to force Barcelona to do something they lacked the players to do.

Great game by Liverpool today. Ended up one goal shy of advancement, but the atmosphere at Anfield was second to none. The way they dominated play showed a lot, especially with Sturridge unavailable. Two amazing free kicks by Suarez....his second one was pure class.

Ferguson calls it a day. Looks like Moyes will take over. I'm hoping for Moyes, don't really want the chosen one.

Moyes to ManU on a six year deal. Not sure Moyes will have the appeal to draw in the worlds elite talent...the next few seasons will be interesting for United....risky move by ownership.

Goodbye, Mancini. Hooray for Wigan.

great win for wigan. only got to see a bit of the game but looked like they earned it, didn't just sit back and get lucky at the other end.

i think moyes will work. money and club name should attract the players. picking the right ones will be the tough part. he and ferguson are close. bet ferguson will mentor, for lack of a better word, him for a year of so.

Today's game will be massive for both clubs. Wigan must win to stay up. Arsenal must win to secure a CL spot. I think that the FA Cup needs to be moved to the end of the season so that it does not interfere with the end of the season.
Waiting to see if Moyes can convince Rooney to stay on and that he has a future at ManU. Personally I do not think Rooney has a lot of options without taking a massive pay cut.
This transfer market will be interesting with four of the top six English clubs having a new manager along with four of the top clubs on the Continent changing managers as well.
