I think that was a "record" even for them. I wander if their mother network-FOX-start an NFL broadcast w/ a 9 minute delay what would the reaction be. Granted, the Lazio game(which was quite entertaining, actually-I like watching Lazio this season) ended late, but there were 6 minutes of commercials in between the two games.<br/> As for the game itself-hard-fought draw. Manchester has no depth whatsoever. If you rely on Fletcher and O'Shea to make a difference coming off the bench...it means that you'll never be champions. Their starting 11 is very strong, but w/ aging Giggsie and Scholes, who will come in? SAF better buy 2-3 class acts in midfield during the winter break.<br/> Chelsea came for a draw and got it. I am impressed by Ballack who, unlike Sheva, is getting comfortable in the premier league. The Ronaldo-Cole battle was very entertaining to watch-cudos to both players. The ref was almost perfect-job well done, Mr. Webb.<br/> Sad thing is I didn't make some $ off the game-everyone knew not only the tie, but the exact score:1:1. Instead of telling this to all my friends on Saturday, I should have placed a bet. Oh, well. FSC started the “LIVE” broadcast at 9 minutes after 11. I think that was a “record” even for them.

As for the game itself-hard-fought draw. Manchester has no depth whatsoever. If you rely on Fletcher and O’Shea to make a difference coming off the bench…it means that you’ll never be champions.
