On Sunday Manchester United will walk into the Stamford Bridge pitch in unusual fashion. They
will be the underdogs.
By all accounts, Chelsea simply look the stronger side. After trashing Bolton Wanderers 4-0 last
weekend and earning a 2-2 Champions League draw against Atletico Madrid, Chelsea's in-form striker
Didier Drogba will be looking to punish a Manchester United defense that will be without Rio
Ferdinand.

When posting the 2009 ADRs earlier this week, I asked what jumped out at you. Well here's some
questions that jumped out at me:

Here are my thoughts about my 2 teams this past weekend...
DC UNITED
Umm...I thought I was supposed to watch DC United v Seattle Sounders FC this past Saturday. What
I saw was Seattle was there. The DC fans were there. The refs showed up. The only thing missing was
the home team.

All the hype & all the bantering between Kevin Payne of DC United & Adrian Hanauer of the
Sounders was definitely worth the price of admission for this ticket as the up & comers in the
Seattle Sounders took on the plentiful DC United at RFK Stadium. Many of you are well aware of the
on going squabble thru the press and on the internet of who should've really hosted the cup final,
a loud and boisterous Qwest Field or the cauldron of RFK.

So I've delayed this for as long as humanly possible and the time has come for me to head down to
the pub and start doing my pre-match warm up. However, after much deliberation and much analysis,
I've come to several conclusions that I feel will determine the outcome of this match.

There was much debate, going into yesterday's Champions League final, about which team was the best
in the world. The consensus choice, it seemed, was to favor Manchester United--despite the fact
that Barcelona led the Soccer Source Top 25 for most of the season (we know that many soccer fans,
for reasons yet obscure, do not accept Soccer Source as the final authority on all matters great
and small.

With the PFA Player of the Year award (and many others) only a few months away, many members of the
media - myself included - have started searching for a suitable winner. The two names that I've
heard the most this season have been Steven Gerrard and Nemanja Vidic. It's no surprise that
Gerrard finds his name towards the top of the list once again, as Liverpool have pinned their hopes
and dreams on their inspirational leader.
