Isn't there some kind of regulation being introduced to stop the adverts being louder than the programmes? Someone please tell me I'm correct in thinking this; it does my head in scurrying around to find the control to mute the TV every time an ad break comes on.

was fucking FINE.

Seems like one of those people that would not get along with me at all.

Who is everyone cheering for?

Were it not for the fact I am almost literally surrounded by United fans (my best friends, my stepdad, his sons), I'd want them to win. I like how they're quite an attacking side and am not really a fan of Chelsea's style.

But this is not the case, and so I'm REALLY hoping Chelsea win by about 4 goals.

Come on Chelsea lad.

I can't sit still i'm so nervous. I really hope Chelsea can do it. Mer.

For no particular reason. Oh, except that Man U sucks.

American television has a 3 hour pregame show starting...weird. Football/soccer is still a 2nd tier sport here, but maybe notsamuch anymore.

Time for the fucking pathetic montage.

Only ITV could be so embarrassing.

Good. God.

The only notable feature of Russian history is Communism? They had an empire once too you know.

but since this is the Biggest Game In English Football History (TM) I figured I should listen in...

i think utd will do it though

Bit silly no?

Because i googled it and it says 10.45 but that's wrong right?

Obviously hard to tell from the couch, but it looks to be playing ok.

:DDDDDD

Poor defending.

Get him off, Essien in the middle, Ferreira to RB.

Also, this really biased United commentary's doing my fucking head in.

made of paper?

so that they can't hit the target?

i'd rather stream some really low-quality chinese channel, which only refreshes once every five seconds, than listen to this fucking dribble. the commentary is innaccurate (YOU COULD TELL IT WASN'T BALLACK WHO HEADED IT), relies more on the pre-printed stats than any current insightful analysis and the adverts are a joke.
the sooner they lose their football rights, the better.

and Fat Frank does his running for the match.

Yeah, it's all about Chelsea tonight! The lesser of two evils.

were totally on top for the whole half. Tevez should have scored twice. chelsea luck a goal.

Then attempt to continue my sporadic revision pattern. I assume it's 1-1 judging by the dual onslaught of uppercase comments.

waffle on like he knew chelsea's goal was coming thirty seconds before it was slipped in?
and how much does mark hughes look like parker from the thunderbirds? he's a pink limo and a piece of string away, i swear.
