1. Chelsea is two goals ahead

You're one of those.

WTF are you talking about? I have been a Chelsea fan since like 1998.

[Cerr]

Wow. That was one hell of a game.
Too bad for Liverpool. It was always going to be hard to make up for last week.

Of course you are.  Every asshole in Eastern Europe, Africa and Asia is a Chelsea fan.

I knew it would be a great series. Put up some British, nay, English, teams against each other...never mind that silly Italian shit.

Liverpool always produce exciting games.

Awesome game, I particularly liked the first goal.

Very entertaining. I hope Man U's game today is going to get close to that. United must go out offensive in search of a quick goal.

Yeah we here in States only get that one live, so I miss my Arsenal going vs Villarreal.

You could watch the game online.
There's some sites that do live streaming of games.

I believe espn 360 has rights here in states and it's ppv iirc. No i'm not able to get it because of my ISP isn't on ESPN's list

Which just makes it all the much worse.
It should be noted that John Major apparently was a Chelsea fan.

We only get Arsenal - Villarreal in HD, the other is in SD with commentators that are more prone to sarcastically insult eachother than follow the game.

I knew it would be a great series. Put up some British, nay, English, teams against each other...never mind that silly Italian shit.

That's why, of the 8 goals they scored between the two teams yesterday, only 2 were by an English player (Lampard) while there were 2 by Brazilians (Fabio Aurelio and Alex), and 1 by an Spaniard (Alonso), an Argentinian (Leyva), a Dutchman (Kuyt) and an Ivorian (Drogba). 

And in the previous game, 2 were by a Serbian (Ivanovic), 1 by an Ivorian (Drogba again) and 1 from a Spaniard (Torres). 

I can't see much Englishness in there.

What he actually said was that he didn't think Inter vs. Roma would be such an entertaining game series, which I agree with. :p

Fair enough. Which is why England, as a football nation team, sucks.

My point though, is that the English league, despite the foreigners, is the best league in the World. 

EDIT: Yeah...what Liep said.
