Man United and
Chelsea have been the top two teams in the
Premier League over
the past few seasons, tomorrow they go head-to-head at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea is the on form team
and they will be very dangerous, especially up front tomorrow. Man United on the other hand haven't
been in the best of form and are looking shaky, especially at the back.

Blog United 06 November @ 10:34 AM EST
Wayne Rooney may be a legend to some already, but on paper and in the history books he is
overshadowed by names such as Ryan Giggs, Bobby Charlton, Jack Rowley and George Best.
Giggs, 34, is the most decorated player in the Premier League's history and tops the club's
appearance charts having played in an amazing 816 (and counting) matches for the club in a career
spanning nearly 20 years.

This weekend plays host to arguably the match of the Premier League season when Carlo
Ancelotti's Chelsea take on reigning champions Manchester United in what could be reasonably
termed, a championship "six-pointer".
To honour this occasion, we look back over some of the finest games between these two giants of
English football:

The Chelsea Blog: The first thought that came into my head was Drogba.

Wayne Rooney, who caused a fuss last season by telling a national newspaper he "hated" Liverpool
FC, has today confessed that when he was growing up as an Everton fan, he used United's success to
wind up any Liverpool fans he came across.
"United won most of the trophies in the 1990s and for me, as an Everton fan, it was a chance
to have a go back at the Liverpool fans," said Rooney.

Wayne Rooney has again reiterated his love for our club, claiming he wants to spend the rest of
his career here and hopefully get somewhere near Ryan Giggs' appearance record.
"I have always said I would love to end my career at this club," said Rooney. "If I
can get anywhere near what Ryan has done it would be an amazing achievement because I regard him as
the perfect role model.

Van Persie was the Gunners go-to-guy in the Match of the Week as Arsenal defeated Tottenham
3-0. Van Persie would score twice in the critical match and the result continues to push the
Gunners towards the top of the league table. Van Persie has seven goals and six assists on the
year putting him in the top five in total points of all Premier League players this season.

popular belief), strips off their kits after a practice and hops into a soapy hot tub in bikinis
with a leering camera [.

No wonder Sir Alex Ferguson admires him so much. Igor Akinfeev may have conceded three goals
though none of them was his fault but he had pulled off a number of world-class saves which had
frustrated Manchester United.
He is only 23, but he has been first choice 'keeper at CSKA Moscow for six years now, and was
just 17 when he broke into the Russian side making him the youngest ever.

A word of advice for Rio Ferdinand, you will have plenty of time to attend movie premieres,
start a music label and run your very own magazine when you decide to hang up your boots. Until
then, as long as a fat cheque comes to your house every week signed by Manchester United Football
Club, kindly concentrate all your energy and effort on the pitch.

Wayne Rooney contributed what looked like a good all round performance for Man Utd vs Blackburn
on Saturday, featuring some nice link play and a sweet sweet goal which he swept home to make it
2-0 (around 4:10 in the above video).
I saw about 15 minutes of the game live, and there was also a magic little
inside-of-the-foot-with-back-to-goal pass that somehow didn't make the Match of the Day cut.

Are you that street? Wayne Rooney is on the hunt for a Street Striker, and to demonstrate the point
he has been dribbling a football round several car tyres. It is not clear whether he took his young
protegees out robbing first in order to obtain said tyres!

Manchester United went into yesterday's game against CSKA Moscow needing a point which was
achieved but as usual it was done the hard way and once again the problems in the defence were
apparent, and it was this problem which nearly led to an embarrassing defeat.
You cannot fault United's determination when they were 3-1 down, something which paid off, but
while you can give credit to the midfielders and forwards for their tenacity, the defence was
again, unfortunately, the problem.

Before yesterday's game, all
Man United needed to do to qualify for the next stage of the
Champions League was to win or draw. Last night there was a six-goal thriller at Old
Trafford where things didn't go the way they were supposed to.
CSKA had got off to the better start but United were starting to control the game, when the
visitors took the lead.

Manchester United survived a scare at Old Trafford and booked a place in the knockout stages of the
Champions League, when they equalized in the final minutes against CSKA Moscow. A rejuvenated
visiting side caught the defense of the Red Devils off-guard, as they took a lead in the first half
with an excellent acute angle [.

Manchester United booked its passage to the knockout phase of the UEFA Champions League in
dramatic and somewhat embarrassing fashion. If a side like CSKA Moscow can come to Old Trafford and
score goals in the manner they did, I don't think the Special One at Inter Milan or Barcelona's Pep
Guardiola will be having sleepless nights worrying about United's threat to their title hopes.
