Ok guys this is post number 51 and what better way to start the 2nd half of century posts than to dedicate it to the greatest football club in the world! All of you should know that i'm talking about Manchester United! I have been following this club for almost a decade and i'm proud to say it. Trailling 2-1 to AS Roma in last week's Champions League 1st Leg quarter-final match, Man Utd needed to overcome a hurdle in Champions League standards; as tall as a man! Italian teams are the bogey teams of Man Utd, having dumped the Red Devils out of Eurepean competitions on a rather consistent rate, this time round looked like another devil's horn being scalped off again. So let me break this down for you footy imbeciles, Man Utd needed to WIN at least 1-0 in the 2nd Leg (this morning 2.45am). If AS Roma scored, then Man Utd needs to WIN at least 2-1 to take the match into extra time and all Roma have to do is go into Old Trafford and line all 11 men in the goal post to hang on to their lead.

Enough said! Watch the match highlights below from the 2nd Leg quarter-final match between Manchester United vs AS Roma @ Old Trafford - Theater of Dreams

Manchester United V Roma



Man Utd made footballing History last night by smacking AS Roma 7-1!!!


On a more depressing note, the other quarter-final match saw Chelsea go through to the semis as well. Going into the match with a 1-1 draw with Valencia from the 1st Leg quarter-final match at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea needed at least a 1-1 draw again at The Mastella stadium to force the 2nd Leg into extra time. So Chelsea needs to win in order to wrap up the match in 90mins.

Check out the highlights from that match: Valencia vs Chelsea @ The Mastella stadium.

Blooper Alert: During the interview with Essien towards the end of the vid, Essies said he was glad they got all 3 points from the match...thats dumbest thing I heard. "THIS IS KNOCKOUT MY BROTHER!"
