This weeks football

For some it has been an exellent week but for others, such as the family and friends of Alan Ball, a true footballing legend, it has not and i send my condolences to them. He really was a magnificent player and was many peoples man of the match in the World Cup Final, 1966. Although i never got to see him live, i have seen the World Cup Final many times, and he was definately one of the best, and at such an early age. His one touch movement, was extraordinarily like that we see today and his passing was excellent. He will be missed in the football world.
I'd like to think that an all english final is approaching in the Champions League but i'm not so sure. Manchester united have got a hard task of beating or at least scoring at the San Siro and im not sure they can do it. Milan are bound to score one which means united will have to score as well but i don't see it happening. Even with the likes of Ronaldo and Rooney.
As far as the other semi goes, i think it will be tight but i believe Chelsea will get their revenge this time and knock Liverpool out. They have one of the strongest defences in the league and will go to anfield, undoubtedly for a 0-0 and will probrably get it. The first leg was boring as it was always going to be, two very strong, defensive sides.
I apologise to anyone who wanted to read a report from Charltons match at home to Sheffield United, i have been literally, snowed under with coursework, i'd much rather do this but i can't. I won't be doing a report on that game, however, i am going to Ewood, so i will have 6hours on the way back with nothing better to do but to write a football report, so i can guarantee that one will be on here, if not sunday then monday at the latest. As far as the game goes, it is a crucial, must win for Charlton, and with Blackburn having nothing but pride to play for, and a very probable half-empty staduim, exept the Charlton fans, i think Charlton can win this. They have the desire and passion that Alan Pardew has injected into the team and i think they can stay up. Fulham being my prediction to suffer as a result.

A few pieces of my mind - basically just stuff I either feel like writing down or think that others should indulge in.
