fabio capello

i remember him from the days at as roma.
i remember marcello lippi at juventus and carlo ancellotti at ac milan were like ferguson at manu,longtimers.
now,ive realised that capello is more vintage ac milan having won the european cup in 94.
desailly was later at chelsea,i cant remember where he was in between.
is desailly the guy who won the champions league with three different teams.
the lack of football viewing in the last two years has dimmed a lot of memories.
there is a lot of coverage of capello at the bbc.

jose mourinho

it looks like jose will soon be captaining england.
it will be the pinnacle of his career if he proves his mettle at the international level.
i dont know whether he was a player,but he is a superstar unlike any other.

surprise

dd sprung a pleasant surprise by showing a champions league match.
there is no espn in chennai,without a set top box.
chelsea vs schalke was telecast.
i spotted wayne bridge playing for chelsea,i did not know he had come back to the playing eleven.
i think he came to chelsea from southampton.
injuries seem to have plagued him,like woodgate also.
the psychological pressure of getting a long layoff more than once will be the toughest test to overcome for a professional footballer.
michael owen has come back,but is taking time to come into the headlines.

churchill brothers are durand cup champions

the 120th durand cup was lifted by churchill brothers beating mahindra united in the final.
bayern munich were held to a 2-2 draw at munich by bolton,bolton s draw is a rare result for english teams abroad,other than the top three.

liv v ful :1-0
