Got to say I'm not really following the BBC's reporting of Chelsea vs Cluj. Can only think of a few movements Cluj had and in terms of performance (if not goals), Chelsea completely and effortlessly outclassed them for most of the game. Deco and Ballack had average at best games though, but Terry looked really strong. Roma's 2-0 victory over Bordeaux means they still take the group's top spot, as do Liverpool who beat PSV 3-1. Inter and Panathinaikos are also through to the next round, as are Barca and Sporting. More Champions League action tonight with Arsenal and Man Utd already assured qualification.
Ferguson is up in arms about Evra's 4 game ban. In my opinion, if he was found to have made up his racist allegations, a 4 game ban is indeed a disgustingly small punishment. Mud sticks afterall. Owen Coyle is been mentioned alongside a plethora of Dutchmen for the Sunderland job and Paul Ince has been told he has 4 games in which to turn Blackburn Rover's season around.
As the clock ticks round to the transfer window, the rumour mill kicks into overdrive with apparently all of West Ham's frontline up for sale, new Real Madrid manager Juande Ramos considering a raid on Spurs for Lennon and Bentley, Chelsea preparing an £8m swoop for Boro's Tuncay, Hull moving for Frazier Campbell and Aston Villa ready to piss Simon Jordan off even more by bidding £3 for Crystal Palace's teenage starlet Sean Scannell.
