Half time in Moscow

Typical freaking Chelsea. They've been guff, they've shown about as much willingness to attack as a Quaker smoking a spliff and they have been utterly creamed by Man U - yet they're level at the break thanks to a combination of Petr Cech and a spot of pinball around the Man U box.

So one team at the Luzhniki stadium has shown a keenness to get forward, to play attractive football and hope the best. The other has punted aimless balls up the pitch, kicked United's skill players and has Florent Malouda on the pitch - not signs suggestive of entertaining football.

All this equates to is Rangers' anti-football but with better players.

Let's hope, like in the UEFA Cup final, the better team ends up winning. Otherwise this is not a good advert for the best teams to throw any caution to the wind in big games.

In conclusion, if Chelsea win, I will be in a huff for at least three days, I think.
