Ravi Ubha: So long for now.
Ravi Ubha: Guys, thanks for joining me today. It was great fun, as always.
Enjoy the 10 am games.
We'll do it again soon. -
[Comment from johnny ]
who would have guessed west ham in front of liverpool at this point? -
[Comment from Andy ]
It's sorry to watch Torres try so hard but it just doesn't work for him anymore -
[Comment from JamesTylerESPN via Twitter]
@tehdago That and HE OWNS EVERY SINGLE TIDBIT OF CHELSEA FC. -
Ravi Ubha: No, Andy. But a reminder that JT (bang on cue) will be with you for the MLS Cup final at 4 eastern.
http://soccernet.espn.go.com/feature/_/id/1246840/the-boot-room?cc=5901 -
[Comment from JamesTylerESPN via Twitter]
@brownieboytb Yup, all his fault. Players exemplary, fought to the end. -
[Comment from Andy ]
Are you staying for the 10 AM games ? -
Ravi Ubha: Thanks, Bryan.
[Comment from Jason ]
Rafa is completely to blame for that loss. Not Roman. -
Ravi Ubha: Almost, seventh.
[Comment from Charlie ]
West Ham up to sixth. -
[Comment from Czuch Norris ]
Did Rafa just make Big Sam look like a tactical wizard? -
[Comment from Vargo ]
Sam's substitutions changed the game completely. Rafa was out-coached in the second half, badly. -
[Comment from john ]
If Roman's money left Chelsea would be fighting off Sunderland for 10th -
Ravi Ubha: First win for the Hammers vs. Chelsea in nine years.
[Comment from PCarrESPN via Twitter]
The last time West Ham beat Chelsea by 2+ goals was 1988. -
Ravi Ubha: FT: West Ham 3-1 Chelsea.
Ravi Ubha: Final whistle!
[Comment from JamesTylerESPN via Twitter]
None of this could be considered Roman's fault. He only bought the players, hired/fired/hired the managers. #CFC -
[Comment from Andy ]
Losing a London derby to West Ham after two goalless draws, that's incredible. -
Ravi Ubha: Oh, come on. Let's not get carried away. He's MADE the club. They wouldn't be league and European winners without him.
[Comment from Brian ]
Roman Just need to give it up, he's ruined this club -
[Comment from Charlie ]
I'm going to visit the Emirates on my first trip to London. I may want to visit Upton Park. I love bubbles. -
[Comment from kevin (usa) ]
[Comment from Kyle ]
I'm forever blowing bubbles -
[Comment from Guest ]
lol torres -
Ravi Ubha: Just to add to Torres' misery: He's foiled by Jussi.
[Comment from kevin (usa) ]
wow what were the odds given on this scoreline?! -
[Comment from Troy ]
Horrible 2nd half from Chelsea. -
[Comment from RagaGone? ]
Isn't it a serious question we can ask right now? -
[Comment from Matt ]
Sack Roman! -
[Comment from Misty ]
Utter collapse -
[Comment from JamesTylerESPN via Twitter]
Surely Rafa's fault that Ashley Cole played that suicidal pass. -
Ravi Ubha: Sam celebrating like he's won the FA Cup.
[Comment from Andy ]
Wow! -
Ravi Ubha: Bad mistake by Cole to Maiga, to Taylor, save by Cech, rebound to Maiga.
[Comment from JamesTylerESPN via Twitter]
Chelsea needs more than an interim manager. But at least gaffers grow on trees, right? -
[Comment from Guest ]
they're chanting "you'll be sacked in the morning" -
Ravi Ubha: Taylor to Maiga!
Ravi Ubha: Game over.
Ravi Ubha: 3-1!!!
Ravi Ubha: Four minutes of injury time.
Ravi Ubha: Time for some West Ham time wasting in the corner.
[Comment from CelticFC ]
Unless Moses had a knock, Rafa's change makes no sense -
Ravi Ubha: Nolan's shot from a tight angle blocked by Ivanovic.
[Comment from JamesTylerESPN via Twitter]
It will all be blamed on Rafa Benitez, of course. At this point, #CFC managers should be picked via reality show. -
Ravi Ubha: Zero.
[Comment from Salvatore ]
Odds that Di Matteo is recalled? -
Ravi Ubha: For a permanent interim manager, yes :)
[Comment from PCarrESPN via Twitter]
7 hours until #MLSCup 2012. David Beckham led MLS this season with 7 goals from 20+ yards away. -
[Comment from Andy ]
What's the shortest number of games a new manager played before being sacked ? Rafa could set a new record, right ? -
[Comment from lando4city ]
Dear Rafa: A thousand thanks. Sincerely, Roberto -
[Comment from Misty ]
Benitez out coached in the second half -
[Comment from Kyle ]
excellent use of bubbles -
[Comment from idol ]
Roman should go -
[Comment from Pete ]
Hope it was worth it, Comrade Abramovich!!! -
Ravi Ubha: West Ham want a third. Another corner.
[Comment from JamesTylerESPN via Twitter]
#RafaBall -
Ravi Ubha: Maiga for Cole.
[Comment from Jake Nazar ]
Is this what you wanted Roman!? Is that what we were supposed to get!? -
[Comment from Bryan ]
Bye Bye Benitez -
[Comment from johnny ]
that was very well played great strike -
[Comment from Matt ]
Rafa to be sacked? -
[Comment from Charlie ]
Bye bye Rafa. We hardly knew you....at Chelsea. -
Ravi Ubha: Cole to Diame, and his low finish is too quick for Cech.
[Comment from PCarrESPN via Twitter]
RT @adlarcada_ESPN: Pct chance of advancing out of Confed Cup group stage (per SPI): Group A: Brazil (90.8%), Mexico (57.8%), Japan (26. ... -
[Comment from Vargo ]
Ravi Ubha: 2-1 West Ham.
Ravi Ubha: And what an impact by Diame!
Ravi Ubha: GOAL!!!!!!
Ravi Ubha: Carlton Cole named West Ham's player of the game. Disagree there. Has to be Jarvis. Diame has also made an impact in the second half.
[Comment from Bryan ]
Yet another reason why Ashley Cole deserves to get a new contract. Another solid performance -
Ravi Ubha: Oscar's shot from 20 yards goes over after a deflection but no corner.
[Comment from CJ ]
Going off of last year's FA Cup Semifinal, that was a goal. -
[Comment from Wallguest ]
how many times has cole done that? -
Ravi Ubha: Defending ones, that is.
Ravi Ubha: Which tells you Chelsea isn't so good on corners.
[Comment from Jake Nazar ]
Ashley Cole is just unbelievable clearing balls off the line. -
[Comment from john ]
Torres would have missed the keeper...and the goal -
[Comment from Kyle ]
Torres is good ... at getting people fired -
[Comment from JamesHMartin via Twitter]
Ashley Cole has been huge off the line this season. -
Ravi Ubha: Reid's header didn't cross the line, confirmed by replays.
Ravi Ubha: Ashley Cole denies Winston Reid!
Ravi Ubha: Off the line!
Ravi Ubha: Good pass from Noble, but maybe Jarvis should have done better on the finish.
Ravi Ubha: Good save by Cech with Jarvis breaking in on the left!
Ravi Ubha: Or 'was?'
[Comment from idol ]
torres was Good...emphasis on "good" -
[Comment from john ]
Torres would be just fine at $20,000 a week at Wigan. -
Ravi Ubha: While the ball's out of play, let me remind you to join James at 4 eastern for the MLS Cup final between LA and Houston. Here's the link:
http://soccernet.espn.go.com/feature/_/id/1246840/the-boot-room?cc=5901 -
[Comment from Jason ]
I think Torres has a great attitude and work ethic. He is just not any good. -
Ravi Ubha: For a yellow!
[Comment from Jake Nazar ]
And of course he brings off Moses. Has Mikel's name been called in this half? -
Ravi Ubha: Strange. Moses, as mentioned, I thought was having a good game.
[Comment from JamesTylerESPN via Twitter]
Before playing in Europe, #USMNT stars like Clint Dempsey had a trailblazer. It was Mike Masters, writes @AndyHLew: j.mp/Uhk38N -
[Comment from Vargo ]
Marin for Moses, your thoughts Ravi? -
[Comment from Bryan ]
As a Chelsea fan I am sick of torres and his poor attitude. Adios -
Ravi Ubha: The camera pans to the fans and they're shaking their heads...
Ravi Ubha: 79: Marin for Moses.
Ravi Ubha: Sounds like a lot of disgruntled Chelsea fans out there.
[Comment from Jake Nazar ]
Can we do something else!? All we do is play through ball right to the goalkeeper. -
[Comment from moses ]
Chelsea FC is very much confused -
[Comment from kevin (usa) ]
I am having extreme Schadenfreude watching Chelsea suffer (Spurs supporter)!!! -
Ravi Ubha: Mata attempts a through ball for Moses but an alert JJ is out early to collect.
[Comment from Morty ]
Chelsea players coming unglued. They are ripe for the plucking. -
Ravi Ubha: Hey, Roman knows that. But he still appointed him.
[Comment from Jake Nazar ]
Most annoying thing about Benitez.... he never makes an effort to push forward. He takes off one attacking player for another when he should be taking off a defensive midfielder. -
[Comment from john ]
Is there a rule that Mikel never seems to do anything but never comes off? -
Ravi Ubha: Reid with the header and for a second it looked like it was going to the corner! But not any pace on it and Cech gathers.
Ravi Ubha: More panic in the box but Ramires with a good challenge to put off Taylor on his header. Another corner.
Ravi Ubha: Chelsea fans start again: "There's only one Di Matteo."
Ravi Ubha: Disagree. Moses has been good today. Hazard not as good.
[Comment from Kojo ]
He should be taking Moses off not Hazard -
[Comment from Morty ]
The Clattenberg Effect? -
[Comment from Misty ]
This is when Chelsea could really use that on field leadership to settle everyone down and get them back on the same page -
[Comment from Alex ]
That's a penalty 100%! -
Ravi Ubha: 73: Oscar for Hazard.
Ravi Ubha: Horrible goal kick from JJ, straight to Hazard...he's out of position but Hazard's effort over the bar.
Ravi Ubha: Moses went down in the box. I'll have to see a replay.
[Comment from idol ]
that's a penalty!!! -
[Comment from Jay Jay Okocha ]
Torres is scared of the ball. -
Ravi Ubha: Oscar stripped off and will come on shortly.
Ravi Ubha: Mikel was booked, btw, for voicing his displeasure at the WH goal.
Ravi Ubha: Diame can be good, and he can be bad...the latter there. His shot from 40 yards is a 40-yard field goal.
[Comment from Julio ]
Are West Ham fans singing "You'll be sacked in the morning" yet ? -
Ravi Ubha: Going back to the goal, that's the problem refs create. There's no consistency at all.
Ravi Ubha: I couldn't catch the number, but the WH goal came from a Chelsea giveaway.
[Comment from moses ]
IT is a open game now -
[Comment from Vargo ]
Chelsea needs to settle down. -
Ravi Ubha: Neil, put that question on Twitter at #FCBootrom and it might get answered by them.
[Comment from Neil in Boston ]
Ian and Steve, you mentioned that players are complaining to the referee after every decision. Why don't the referees just book those players for time wasting? How is that different than a keeper holding onto the ball too long near the end of a match? -
[Comment from Jared ]
Maybe if Ivanovic tried to jump or something? I know he had someone all over him but he just kinda stood there and let it happen. -
[Comment from PCarrESPN via Twitter]
So Spain plays Tahiti, which is 153rd in SPI rankings. Over/under on Spain goals and possession...7.5 & 89.5%? -
Ravi Ubha: It was Cole's first goal of the season, and first vs. his former team.
Ravi Ubha: It was coming.
[Comment from moses ]
I said it they are very much close to getting a goal and they got it. -
[Comment from Zack ]
Atkinson and his crew gave that goal to west ham, what a joke -
Ravi Ubha: All of a sudden this doesn't look like Chelsea's day. Mata;s free kick hits the post...
[Comment from Jake Nazar ]
Well next time I play football I'll make sure I bear hug my opponent and see if I get a goal. -
[Comment from Troy ]
Torres has to finish from there! -
[Comment from johnny ]
he was on him like a coat -
[Comment from Troy ]
looked like a foul to me -
[Comment from kevin (usa) ]
is that not a foul??? -
[Comment from Alex ]
Chelsea pay for their missed chances in the first half -
[Comment from Charlie ]
Upton Park is LOUDER now! -
Ravi Ubha: Torres, though, shoots straight at JJ.
Ravi Ubha: Chelsea almost go ahead!
Ravi Ubha: Julio, - India, even though Eng has the momentum.
Ravi Ubha: Cross from Jarvis, and Cole is ALL OVER Ivanovic. No call...that was much worse than Collins' foul in the first half.
Ravi Ubha: Carlton Cole.
Ravi Ubha: 1-1
Ravi Ubha: GOAL!
[Comment from Julio ]
Ravi, your favorite to win the 3rd England-India test match ? -
[Comment from Morty ]
Alex...demoralises the team? The only thing that would demoralise a team is failing to make payday. -
Ravi Ubha: Suarez.
[Comment from PCarrESPN via Twitter]
The Brazilian chef at Confed Cup draw won't be asked back. Drew from the wrong pot once & almost did it twice more. -
[Comment from Kyle ]
better diver, suarez or torres? -
Ravi Ubha: Terry, Lamps and Hilario watching in the stands.
There's a nice job (Hilario) if you can get it. -
Ravi Ubha: 61 minutes done.
Ravi Ubha: Some respite for Chelsea. A free kick. But Mata's ball doesn't penetrate the D, and the chance goes.
[Comment from Alex ]
Why do chelsea fans like chanting Di Matteo's name? You know your chanting has no effect on any decisions.. Just demoralises the team. -
[Comment from Misty ]
West Ham getting the better of Chelsea so far this half. Time for fresh legs for Chelsea -
[Comment from Raza_88 ]
West Ham sure could have done with Carroll today -
[Comment from Julio ]
I think he's playing Tic Tac Toe with himself. -
Ravi Ubha: Hmm, well, they were a little lucky not to concede vs. Fulham.
[Comment from Jake Nazar ]
The one definite assumption you can make from Rafa's work so far is that the back line is much, much more solid. -
[Comment from Charlie ]
Upton Park is LOUD today! -
Ravi Ubha: Notes, I'm guessing.
[Comment from Julio ]
Ravi, what on earth does Benitez keep writing on those small pieces of paper ? -
[Comment from Michael ]
That's the first time I've seen "pulling a John Terry" used in a positive context -
[Comment from PCarrESPN via Twitter]
2013 Confed Cup draw....Group A: Brazil, Japan, Mexico, Italy. Group B: Spain, Uruguay, Tahiti, 2013 African champ. -
[Comment from Morty ]
Cahill took that like a man. Quite refreshing. -
Ravi Ubha: Vital interception by Ivanovic as Nolan slid a ball past Cech and into the danger zone.
Ravi Ubha: Noble takes, and speaking of Fernando, he clears. Now that's what the 50 million was for.
Ravi Ubha: WH corner.
Ravi Ubha: According to Infostrada, that was Torres' first assist in the league since March.
[Comment from Jason ]
Cahill pulled a John terry with that diving clearing header -
[Comment from Kyle ]
The ole boot to the head -
[Comment from Jake Nazat ]
At this moment I don't see any reason for Oscar to come on. If West Ham score.....different story. -
[Comment from Michael ]
It's more than just blocking shots. They block them very well, and rarely give up a goal off a deflection -
Ravi Ubha: To be fair to C. Cole, the ball wasn't that high; it was a stooping header from the former Bolton man.
Ravi Ubha: Great cross by the sweet left foot of Matty Taylor but a boot catches Cahill in the face as he tries to clear with his head.
[Comment from Guest ]
68 Oscar come on -
Ravi Ubha: Blocking shots is good. Terry is the master.
[Comment from PCarrESPN via Twitter]
Humorous moment at Confed Cup draw. Uruguay had to go in Group B, but spot was drawn from Group A. Confusion reigns. -
[Comment from Jason ]
Not to sound biased but I haven't seen a team that blocks shots more often than Chelsea. -
[Comment from Kyle ]
Fans don't like Hammerhead? He's great! -
Ravi Ubha: Let's see how the game shapes up. Rafa and 60 minutes usually = some sub.
[Comment from Julio ]
Ravi, when does Oscar come on ? -
Ravi Ubha: Foul called on Nolan for obstructing Cech. Again he's not happy. Better be careful or a card will come. He's already been told off by the ref.
Ravi Ubha: Short corner, and Az with a good block to deny Nolan.
Ravi Ubha: Another chance. Diame from the edge of the box, middle, but it's blocked I think by Carlton Cole.
[Comment from johnny ]
cole has never been a prem scorer -
Ravi Ubha: A good start to the second half for WH. More energy, life.
Ravi Ubha: Jarvis with more good work, this time on the right. Floats in a cross but an onrushing Cole sends his header over the bar.
Ravi Ubha: Quick answer: Odds of winning one in '13, 35-65.
[Comment from Morty ]
Ravi - can Murray win another major in 2013? -
[Comment from Troy ]
That dancing hammer is hysterical. -
Ravi Ubha: Let's go through it: Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham, Fulham, QPR, West Ham.
[Comment from Guest ]
How many Premier League teams are in London? -
Ravi Ubha: Chelsea unchanged.
Ravi Ubha: Taylor on for O'Neil, too.
Ravi Ubha: Diame, when on his game, is one of the best in the division.
Ravi Ubha: Tomkins off for Diame.
Ravi Ubha: Not a city derby but yeah, that is one great derby.
[Comment from johnny ]
what about the afc wimbledon mk dons game? -
Ravi Ubha: No surprise that most of their chances created (only a few) have come from set pieces.
Ravi Ubha: Second half about to begin.
Can the Hammers rally? -
Ravi Ubha: I'm surprised no one has mentioned Charlton-Palace.
[Comment from Al ]
QPR vs Fulham -
Ravi Ubha: Are you guys aware of Chris Kamara? Over here he's a football personality and absolutely hilarious. His commercials for Ladbrokes are keepers.
[Comment from braza ]
I hit the rewind to listen to Ian talk about the stations! So, I was interested. -
[Comment from Troy ]
I thing Macca could grow that stache all year and couldn't catch up with what Lalas had in a week -
[Comment from dane ]
There is only one real London Derby, sorry it's not just the North London one.. In terms of intensity you will be hard pressed to find a better derby in all of Europe. -
Ravi Ubha: Movember. Raises awareness for charity organizations.
[Comment from elbojpb ]
Macca - What's up with the moustache? -
[Comment from johnny ]
to play a whole year is not the same as a short spell loan -
Ravi Ubha: Good question! #FCBootroom.
[Comment from Ern ]
Will Macca ever go into coaching? -
[Comment from Morty ]
really getting tired of landon's act. let him retire. -
[Comment from Alex ]
Chelsea vs Arsenal. Would be Arsenal vs Spurs if it wasn't so lopsided recently -
[Comment from idol ]
donovan is a good player -
[Comment from S04th ]
Millwall/Hammers. Dockers Derby! -
[Comment from moses ]
My favorite chelsea and Arsenal -
[Comment from theilio ]
arsenal vs spurs from a chelsea fan -
Ravi Ubha: That Donovan didn't play in England tells us about his mindset. This is the best league in the world...
[Comment from Troy ]
I want to see Donovan back at Everton on a permanent contract -
[Comment from Guest ]
of course chelsea vs arsenal... although i like arsenal vs spurs -
[Comment from johnny ]
fulham chelsea -
[Comment from Vipin ]
Arsenal vs spurs ans Chelsea vs fulham -
Ravi Ubha: Maybe. It sounds like he's considering retirement.
[Comment from johnny ]
did he say it might be donovan's last game in la as well? -
Ravi Ubha: During the break, here's a question:
What are your favorite London derbies? -
[Comment from Jason ]
A good five minutes to a good 45 minutes... Chelsea definitely deserved the lead. -
Ravi Ubha: OK, it's halftime. Keep the questions coming at #FCBootroom.
[Comment from JamesHMartin via Twitter]
Setting up these walls is a sham. Prem refs should use that disappearing spray to help stop players from creeping forward like toddlers. -
[Comment from Michael ]
Now THAT is a great save -
Ravi Ubha: Chelsea deserve the lead but West Ham came on in the final five minutes of the half.
Ravi Ubha: HT whistle goes. West Ham 0-1 Chelsea.
Ravi Ubha: For a second.
Ravi Ubha: Nolan dispossessed by Moses and Chelsea can break.
Ravi Ubha: Not from the free kick but second later, as Cech tips over Nolan's header.
Ravi Ubha: Great save Cech !
Ravi Ubha: 20 yards.
Ravi Ubha: But a free kick for WH.
Ravi Ubha: Right call. Wasn't a goal scoring opp. Cahill had it covered. Common sense by Atkinson.
[Comment from PCarrESPN via Twitter]
8 hours until #MLSCup 2012. Los Angeles is in its record 8th final & seeks to tie D.C.'s record of 4 titles. -
[Comment from john ]
Physics tricked Cech -
[Comment from Kyle ]
Moses > WH defense -
Ravi Ubha: But only a yellow for Cech when he punches outside the area.
Ravi Ubha: Trouble for Chelsea...
[Comment from soccer idol ]
did anyone see victor moses skills.? that dude has some raw talent -
Ravi Ubha: My fantasy moves this week: Enrique for Bertrand and Sterling for Wilshere. Enrique listed as a defender but is now playing midfield.
Ravi Ubha: I like the way you spelled Eden...like Blizzard. I'll let it go.
[Comment from johnny ]
got hazzard on my fant. team need more goals -
[Comment from Misty ]
I'm really liking Moses inclusion -
[Comment from Michael ]
That looks like a great save, but honestly Mata hit the ball right at him -
[Comment from john ]
West Ham has spent the half showing they are a lot slower than Chelsea -
[Comment from Michael ]
There's 12 year old Americans with a stronger weak foot than Ashley Cole. His refusal to pass with his right foot is amazing -
Ravi Ubha: Another chance goes begging for Chelsea. A sloppy pull back from Cole...they could be up 3-0.
Ravi Ubha: No and No.
[Comment from Saul ]
Who will surprise us this season? Will Everton or WBA clinch a Champs League spot? -
[Comment from john ]
Carlton Cole isn't a mini Drogba, he's an old Lukaku -
Ravi Ubha: Ball on the other flank, Moses with good work. He finds Mata, whose shot is straight at JJ.
Ravi Ubha: And almost two!
Ravi Ubha: Chelsea getting so much joy on West Ham's left. O'Brien can't cope with Az.
[Comment from johnny ]
hammers on the front foot -
[Comment from Vipin ]
Ravi still think opponents wil have that smile after seeing torres in the line up -
[Comment from Jules ]
Cech's awareness brilliant, even fouled and falling he makes sure to keep the ball in bounds there -
[Comment from Michael ]
Yeah, and he was laughing the whole time. Talking to doesn't do anything, card the man -
Ravi Ubha: WH corner.
Ravi Ubha: At his best he's a mini Drogba.
Ravi Ubha: That's a good description.
[Comment from john ]
Carlton Cole doing his usual role of "looking" the part of a good forward without actually being one. -
Ravi Ubha: He got a talking to.
[Comment from Michael ]
How is that not a card? -
Ravi Ubha: Not at the game, but let's hope the West Ham fans behave today. No silly chants.
Ravi Ubha: Nolan goes in on Cech and makes no attempt to win the ball.
Ravi Ubha: That WAS a foul.
Ravi Ubha: Midnight Oil.
[Comment from john ]
James Collins -- closer to the Midnight Oil guy or Mr. Clean? -
Ravi Ubha: Way too early yet. Should be in about an hour.
[Comment from moses ]
DOES anyone know the starting 11 for the gunners? -
[Comment from john ]
is the ref going to give the hammers a break -
Ravi Ubha: Wow, that looked like nothing to me. Collins called for a push on Ivanovic ...whistle goes, but Nolan wasn't to know and stuck the ball in the corner. Bad call, Mr. Atkinson.
[Comment from JamesHMartin via Twitter]
If the whistle hadn't gone, that would have produced one heck of an epic chicken dance by Nolan. -
Ravi Ubha: Rafa and Sam haven't always seen eye to eye, but it's the Spaniard who'll be much happier with his team so far.
Ravi Ubha: And West Ham almost made to pay.
Hazard's rising left-footed shot rises a little too much. Goal kick. -
Ravi Ubha: Groans from the home fans when Demel clears for a corner instead of taking the ball down and booting it upfield. He had time.
Ravi Ubha: Hit up Macca and Ian at #FCBootroom, don't forget.
Ravi Ubha: Thirty minutes done, and Chelsea in complete control.
[Comment from moses ]
Torres is making a good moves in this game,i really think he will get a goal -
[Comment from john ]
I'm guessing that Torres has one more great pass and one more outrageous wiff left in this game...probably this half -
[Comment from Cole ]
Blues still haven't allowed an EPL goal under Benitez... -
Ravi Ubha: Where was the left back? Azpilicueta totally unchallenged on the right, and he had ample time to put in a cross.
[Comment from Matt ]
Torres!!! Why do you do this to me???? -
[Comment from Cole ]
Torres always looks sharp, movement wise, then disappears after 15 minutes... -
[Comment from Michael ]
In Torres' defense, he never should have gotten that ball. Should have been played to Ivanovic -
Ravi Ubha: Good work initially by Torres, as he easily evades Collins, but his cut back wasn't so good. Poor pass for Hazard.
[Comment from john ]
Fernando "Should have done Better" Torres is his name isn't it? -
[Comment from Abel ]
what a miss from Torres -
Ravi Ubha: No, I don't think so. The fade will continue, but I expect them to be comfortable in third.
[Comment from Kyle ]
Any chance Chelsea can keep up with the Manchester teams? -
Ravi Ubha: He's great for us neutrals, though.
[Comment from JamesHMartin via Twitter]
Ivanovic's run on that break was awesome. Torres' effort, not so much. -
[Comment from Misty ]
As a Chelsea fan, I hope Cahill has a great same so that Luiz starts warming the bench. My heart can't take his antics. -
Ravi Ubha: Now there's the bad Torres.
Chelsea counter off the corner, 4 on 2. Ramires to Torres but his shot from inside the box looks like a field goal kicker kicking a convert. Slow and high, over the bar. -
Ravi Ubha: And for a moment there was panic in the box.
That's where Carroll is missed. -
Ravi Ubha: After that good start, West Ham finding it very difficult. Jarvis has been the top performer, and he wins a free kick when fouled by Azpilicueta.
Ravi Ubha: I remember that feeling. You're right. Is great.
[Comment from cgs878 ]
I love waking up to soccer on Saturday mornings (east coast USA here). -
Ravi Ubha: Hazard takes it, but Cole temporarily clears.
[Comment from JamesTylerESPN via Twitter]
In which minute do the #CFC fans cheer for Avram Grant? Is there an index card? -
Ravi Ubha: Chelsea corner.
Ravi Ubha: Don't think so. If there was a time it would have been for his ridiculous behaviour last season.
[Comment from Vipin ]
so is balotelli going away from epl? -
Ravi Ubha: I wouldn't say so. Dortmund really turned it on last season in the second half. However, Bayern must now be the heavy, heavy favorites.
[Comment from Matt ]
Is the Bundesliga race over with a Bayern win today? -
Ravi Ubha: The Brazilian is banned.
[Comment from Michael ]
I kind of miss having David Luiz picked in the squad. I don't have the feeling of panic anymore when the ball gets passed backwards -
Ravi Ubha: But then West Ham gives away the ball (Demel) and Moses should have done better. Similar spot to where Mata was on his goal, but on the other side of JJ, but his side foot goes way wide.
Ravi Ubha: Too much on it, and a little to close to JJ, who grabs it.
Ravi Ubha: Chelsea with a free kick, Mata taking it. He'll look to send it in the box.
Ravi Ubha: Morty, interesting question. I'm not sure he'd leave for anywhere outside London because he has a family and it would only potentially be for a few months. Also, I don't think AVB would want him to go, and I'm convinced yet that Lloris won't make an error or two and thus open the door for a return. He made a blunder vs. Liverpool but got away with it thanks to Henderson's wastefulness.
Ravi Ubha: Sixteen minutes done and the Chelsea fans chanting again, "There's only one Di Matteo..." At least they're consistent.
[Comment from Morty ]
Ravi - with Lloris apparently now the number 1 keeper for Spurs do you think Friedel moves in January? He is clearly better than some other teams' number 1. -
Ravi Ubha: He has looked bright in his Chelsea appearances.
[Comment from john ]
Good to see Moses getting some playing time. Too bad he didn't stay at Wigan one more year. -
[Comment from fridz ]
good luck to benitez , i don't want him to be sacked this early -
Ravi Ubha: Let's see how West Ham react to this. They actually started the brighter.
Ravi Ubha: Going back to him and Welbeck, they're different types of players. JH is a poacher, while Welbeck likes to drop a little deeper.
[Comment from john ]
Chicharito would be great for any team with a variety of scorers, he's a great poacher -
[Comment from Rob Swanson ]
Nolan = NO -
[Comment from john ]
Okay that was AWESOME, great job by both Torres and Mata -
[Comment from Saul ]
Wow. Torres makes a good play..... Well it is 2012 -
[Comment from Michael ]
Great work from Torres -
[Comment from Quinn Dwyer ]
nasty from mata my prediction was right -
Ravi Ubha: Moses to Torres, who gets behind Reid, he cuts back to Juan, and his left-footed sidefoot goes to the far post, giving Jaaskelainen no chance.
[Comment from JamesTylerESPN via Twitter]
Rafa Benitez is too busy berating Gary Cahill to celebrate a well-worked goal. #Rafaball -
Ravi Ubha: The first goal in the Rafa reign.
Ravi Ubha: Chelsea, Mata!
Ravi Ubha: GOAL!
Ravi Ubha: Here's one: Will Kevin Nolan ever be called up by Hodgson?
Ravi Ubha: Keep the questions coming, folks, for Macca and Ian at #FCBootroom.
Ravi Ubha: I do not disagree!
[Comment from FOP Aaron ]
Ravi, I've learned through much experience that expecting Arsenal to win is dangerous territory to tread in. -
Ravi Ubha: I see goals in that one. 2-2.
[Comment from Vipin city fan ]
so who do you think'll win ful or spurs -
Ravi Ubha: Torres with the ball. After a nifty little move to work space his touch is heavy and it's gobbled up by the Hammers.
Ravi Ubha: Spaniard.
[Comment from FOP Aaron ]
Azpilicueta nationality? -
Ravi Ubha: And make sure to join James for the MLS Cup final chat starting at 4 pm eastern. I'll give you guys the link a bit later.
[Comment from JamesTylerESPN via Twitter]
And join me, @rogbennett and @JeffreyCarlisle for #MLSCup #FCBootroom. Tweet Qs and @thesoccerdon will answer at HT: j.mp/RphIf1 -
Ravi Ubha: The numbers say yes.
[Comment from JamesTylerESPN via Twitter]
People! Join @r_ubha for #FCBootroom of #WHU vs. #CFC! j.mp/SBv84F -
[Comment from Saul ]
For a while Chicharito was linked with them as well. I used to think it would be a good move for him due to his lack of playing time but I think he has finally proven to be more effective than Welbeck. Agree? -
Ravi Ubha: Can they? Well, they're favored.
[Comment from JR ]
ESPN,please tell me do you think Arsenal can win the game today? -
Ravi Ubha: Good defending by Azpilicueta. Jarvis has plenty of pace but he can't get past Az on the left. Goes out for a goal kick. All started with a poor Mikel pass.
Ravi Ubha: Look at his past...
[Comment from Rob Swanson ]
Will Roman dish the money that Falcao is valued at? -
[Comment from JamesTylerESPN via Twitter]
West Ham's tactics consist of getting it to Matt Jarvis and asking him to do something. Still seems to bear fruit, mind. -
[Comment from S04th ]
Nothing is more formal than a sash. NOTHING! -
[Comment from john ]
West Ham is clearly going to survive in the EPL this year, but it is about time they start falling down the table -
Ravi Ubha: No.
Sturridge has done little since early last season. I'd still take Torres over him. -
[Comment from Vipin city fan ]
should torres be replaced by sturridge -
Ravi Ubha: Taken by Noble and a very interesting decision by Cech. Didn't catch it and didn't punch it convincingly, but it was cleared.
Ravi Ubha: WH corner.
Ravi Ubha: He and Mikel in deeper roles, though he's not purely defensive minded. He can make some great runs.
[Comment from Troy ]
Will Ramires be playing in a more defensive role today? -
Ravi Ubha: They keep getting linked with Falcao. That's who I think Roman wants.
[Comment from Saul ]
Ravi- Which striker is coming to Chelsea in January? Surely there is no way they keep Torres up front. Biggest waste of money in a long time.... -
Ravi Ubha: The white tops look strange.
[Comment from Guest ]
what do u think of chelsea 3rd kit? -
[Comment from Rob Swanson ]
Its really funny that every match Torres plays, viewers always hope for his form at liverpool to return. Then We Wait and Watch! -
Ravi Ubha: Dembele, Dempsey, Berba...You're right.
[Comment from Morty ]
is there a more interesting match-up today than Spurs/Fulham? Lots of side plots in that one. -
Ravi Ubha: Two minutes in and Chelsea with the ball.
Ravi Ubha: A sunny, cold day for London standards.
[Comment from wilson ]
this is Torres game he will get a goal. -
Ravi Ubha: It will bring smiles to the opponents when they see the team sheet. In current form.
[Comment from Vipin ]
so what effect does a player like torres have on the opposition? -
Ravi Ubha: 2006 Internacional.
[Comment from FOP Aaron ]
When was the last year a UEFA team didn't win the Club World Cup? -
Ravi Ubha: Carroll one of a number of Hammers out injured.
Ravi Ubha: Chelsea have won three in a row vs. West Ham. The last Hammers win was in 2003.
Ravi Ubha: Chelsea third, seven points behind United. West Ham 10th.
[Comment from Quinn Dwyer ]
Goal for Juan Mata no doubt -
Ravi Ubha: Michael, let's see if Torres will bring some old magic.
[Comment from williams ]
I think Chelsea will win this game -
Ravi Ubha: Rafa on Oscar's omission: "We had too many players playing too many games. We'll try to manage the squad. We have a lot of games this month and have to go to Japan" (for the world club championships or whatever that silly event is called)
Ravi Ubha: Not just yet.
But a loss and another no goals showing and it would start to get a little interesting. -
[Comment from Gooner ]
Rafa sacked in the morning if Chelsea lose today? -
Ravi Ubha: I don't think he's going to Chelsea ...
[Comment from Morty ]
Can United afford to bring in another ego as big as Sneijder's when his best is clearly behind him? -
[Comment from john ]
Have they matched up the Andy Carroll and Bigfoot DNA? -
Ravi Ubha: East London.
[Comment from Jan in Cardiff ]
Is the game at Stamford Bridge or Upton Park? -
[Comment from fridz ]
wooow the boot room is amazing from now i'll never miss it -
Ravi Ubha: Interesting to leave him on the bench in favor of Moses.
[Comment from BLU4EVA ]
what happened to Oscar? -
[Comment from dan ]
Mikel is surely going to score...assisted by cech :) -
Ravi Ubha: Jan, JT will be doing the MLS Cup final chat later today. You can tell him then!
Ravi Ubha: A tough run for West Ham, after playing Spurs and United. But I think they'll get a point. 1-1.
[Comment from BLU4EVA ]
first question, what are ur predictions ? -
Ravi Ubha: A reminder, folks, to get in your questions for Ian and Macca. Post them on Twitter at #FCBootroom. Hopefully yours will get answered during intervals.
Ravi Ubha: Big Sam on Carroll: "Pretty severe lateral ligament. Six to eight weeks."
Ravi Ubha: That's what we like to hear, Jan.
[Comment from Jan in Cardiff ]
I'm hung over and I'm supposed to be joining some friends to watch Wales-Australia rugby, but nothing can keep me from the Boot Room. -
Ravi Ubha: I think it won't be a banker vs. Swansea. The Swans will be very confident after thumping West Brom in midweek.
[Comment from FOP Aaron]
What pessimism can Arsenal inflict on me today? -
Ravi Ubha: No Carroll vs. Torres, 35 million vs. 50 million. Carroll out with a knee injury.
Ravi Ubha: Here are the lineups:
West Ham: Jaaskelainen, Demel, Collins, Reid, O'Brien, Tomkins, Noble, O'Neil, Nolan, Jarvis, Cole. Subs: Spiegel, Taylor, Diame, Maiga, Spence, Fanimo, Moncur.
Chelsea: Cech, Azpilicueta, Ivanovic, Cahill, Cole, Mikel, Ramires, Moses, Hazard, Mata, Torres. Subs: Turnbull, Ferreira, Bertrand, Romeu, Oscar, Marin, Piazon. -
Ravi Ubha: Can someone finally score for Chelsea under Rafa? It's two straight 0-0 results.
Ravi Ubha: We'll be with you for the opener, West Ham vs. Chelsea, a nice, tame London derby.
Ravi Ubha: Hi, all, and welcome to another action packed Saturday in the EPL.

So Much for Modular: Rockaways' 'Superstorm-Resistant' Bathrooms Can't Even Handle Summer Crowds
Rockaway Beach's stylish metal bathrooms made an impressive debut when they opened at the beginning of this beach season, seven months after Hurricane Sandy. The Observer remembers being impressed by the clean, sunlit interiors when we visited in June, as well as by the Parks Department's dedication to keeping them up—a worker stationed inside had been assigned the Sisyphean task of sweeping up sand.
But last weekend, looking to enjoy what we are constantly being reminded are the last days of summer, we were disappointed to find two sleek modular pods thirty blocks apart both closed off with metal chains. Beachgoers a Beach 69th Street were re-directed to a stand of nearby porta-potties, though the attached lifeguard station was open. Walking down the beach a few hours later, we discovered that while the brick-and-mortar bathroom by Beach 90th was open, its modular companion was not. Read More

WORKERS' REWARD: It will be a sweeter Christmas for employees of Brunello Cucinelli's luxury firm. The Italian company, which went public in April, has been posting growing sales and profitability and expanding around the world, registering a 25.3 percent increase in net profits in the first nine months of the year, and its namesake founder is distributing some of that wealth. Although Cucinelli declined to provide the exact amount that will be destined as a personal gift to about 780 employees, he is rumored to have earmarked a total of 5 million euros, or $6.5 million at current exchange.

What's more interesting, is that both sites claim the title is coming in 2010. Ubisoft has previously said that it's developing the franchise's third installment, but nothing has been officially unveiled. You'd think they would have said something by now if a holiday launch was planned -- especially with E3 and Gamescom recently passing. Some speculate the developer is planning a blowout for the Tokyo Game Show next month.
The stores could also just be speculating it's coming this year in an effort to score a few early sales. One makes it clear that "price, product description and release dates are tentative and subject to change." Far Cry 3 is set in Africa again, but with an even larger world and a completely updated Dunia engine. The listing mentions that an Internet connection is required to play the game, which presumably means Ubisoft's DRM is present.

I haven't even finished Far Cry 2 yet
I haven't started Far Cry 2 yet.
Damn you Steam and your enticing discounts...
Far Cry 2 was terrible... i think i played it once and then sold it.
As far as i know FC3 isn't slated for this year.
FC2 was one of the better PC games I've played. It was fantastic.
I don't see why so many people hate on it so much
If they put that DRM on it I'm not buying it. In which case I'll have to pirate it.
FC2 was not a bad game but I was expecting a true sequel to the original and it didn't deliver in that respect.
I got Far Cry 2 with my purchase of a nVidia 9800 GTX+, I wonder if that counts toward the oveall sales of the game... Anyway I was one of the few who enjoyed Far Cry 2. I played it two times in full. I must confess a lot of it was just enjoying the scenery, I still think it is the best looking game today. No other games handle vegetation like the FC engines do. I enjoy being able to take in the environment as part of the gaming experience. I know a lot of people like to just rush through the story quickly, but not me...
I also know a lot of people complained about the repetitiveness and endlessly respawning guard posts. I agree it was repetitive and the respawning guards were annoying, but I saw past this and simply went around the guard posts. It also helps if you spend a lot of time on a boat, you can reach most your missions by boat. I also felt the first area map was too deserty and bland. The second part of the map once you got about half way through the game was much prettier, greener with a lot more water and just a more pleasant environment.
Either way I enjoyed FC2 and I hope a FC3 comes, but I wouldn't be disappointed if they made the story more adventurous and to take more turns instead of the same type of mission over and over. And the respawning guard posts, they need to do something about that...
I certainly understand the not buying for DRM crap... I went through all 5 activations on my FC2 because of OS reinstalls and at the end, I just said Eff it and downloaded a copy. I already PAID for the game, and paying customers shouldn't have to put up with that crap.
Far Cry>Far Cry 2
Ubi DRM = I'll pass
I loved both Far Cry's. As a 20-year Army Infantry vet, I found that the weapon characteristics and sounds were as close to the real thing as I've ever heard in a game. The scenery was fantastic, a compelling storyline and only those dumb enough to keep driving around in autos had to mess with the respawning guard locations. My only gripe about FC2 was I thought the ending was really weak. Not the final battles leading up to the ending, the actual end of the storyline.
And I could care less about Ubisoft's online DRM. People act as if they're being tortured or something. Big deal - you have to have a continuous Internet connection. That only applies to 100% PvP shooter games out there already. As well as Steam, EA and Windows Live validating your copy of any game you purchase from them before you can play. People really need to get a grip and find something to whine about that's not nearly so ridiculous.

You've obviously never played crysis. The far cry 2 trees look nowhere near as realistic as the ones in crysis. No game has been able to surpass crysis in terms of graphical quality to this very day.
i wonder how many people who've played Far Cry 2 have played the first one... it's like night and day. FC2 is just a whole lot of nothing. it looks kinda nice, and there were a few things i liked about it, but there are more important things. glad i sold it... good riddance.

I disagree. I find the vegetation in Far Cry 2 to be superior. Crysis was beautiful, but I think FC2 was better.
Oh, and the fires were amazing!

I don't see why so many people hate on it so much
Because alot of people(me aswell) have played the first Far Cry and compare it to that and honestly there is NO comparison, the first had quality and an awesome feel and at the time it had a Crysis like detail to it at the time, very nice and 'lush' graphics.
I can just think back on just wanting to jump off the side of a mountain into the water it looked so nice haha =)
But it was made by Crytek, the same developers who did Crysis and there was much more depth to Far Cry and it was just nice to explore and the abilities you gained added to this, SPOILER ALERT you were injected with this prototype serum that gave you 'feral' abilities like running very fast, jumping very far and could see trails left by enemies and night vision, it was so cool.
This game is suppose to be set in Africa again? there had better be mutants, more 'feel' to movement and better AI or this will stink as much as the 2nd game.
The "higher than normal" price means that Swedes get ripped off regularly...
I too liked the weapons, they felt pretty realistic and thats coming from someone who owns a few Kalashnikov's and AR-15's, and have fired a few other weapons seen in the game. The single player for the weapons is awesome, however, one of the HUGE LET DOWNS I forgot to mention earlier was the limited ballastic range in multiplayer. It is REALLY ANNOYING when your bullets no longer exist after traveling a certain distance. Yet it still makes the bullet passing sound effect for the enemy and I believe their 'tracer' is still seen, but the bullet doesn't actually exist as matter anymore in the game so you don't get your hit/kill. They did this in the original FarCry as well but the distances were a lot further. But in FC2, the distances are so short its laughable. After about 50 meters your assault rifle rounds don't exist and wont hit enemies beyond that! WTH DEVELOPERS!??!?!!?
Anyway in response to the Crysis having better vegetation... ok maybe, but I didn't like all the additional post graphic effects added, it just make everything look crappy in my opinion.
I didn't like Far Cry 2 at all, I was expecting something as good as the original Far Cry, for me it was a big letdown
My biggest gripe was actually the poor AI, it just killed the experience for me...
As for those prices, those are normal prices in Sweden, I mean normal ripoff prices in Sweden
I played Far Cry countless times and then tried Far Cry 2. After a few attempts I gave up and was disappointed. I was expecting some of the original feel and it wasn't there. It had great physics with the weapons, running, jumping etc. and beautiful graphics, but driving around and re-spawning pissed me off.
A few months later I tried it again, go right into it and I love it. You need to think of it as not Far Cry the sequel because you will be disappointed as I was. Take it as its own game, not a sequel.
I found using the recording feature sped up the game so I could drive faster. I crashed a lot but it helped that boring part of the game pass by quicker. Also taking the bus when you can helps skip the long drives.
I can't wait for Far Cry 3, even if it's not a true sequel as long as the physics and gameplay is there, I will be happy.

You've obviously never played crysis. The far cry 2 trees look nowhere near as realistic as the ones in crysis. No game has been able to surpass crysis in terms of graphical quality to this very day.
Not being an expert on how stuff is rendered etc, but having ultra-detailed trees couldn't have helped fps on Crysis. Far Cry 2 decided to let more people play the game in all the glory, rather than see a full-detail tree via binoculars in some spot on a mountain totally inaccessible. :S Once again, I'm assuming detailed trees = more GPU demand.
As for vegetation, Just Cause and Crysis have grass that bends underfoot.. I don't remember seeing it this goof on Far Cry 2.
The more detail the better. The more Games that push (pc) hardware to the limit the better, ok so you might not be able to run it on full, but if u have a shiny expensive new GFX card then you can see all the detail. A highly detailed game would also ''last'' longer in terms of GFX value, Crysis is still up there in terms of detailed GFX.
But other games like BFBC2, Just Cause 2, even GTA4 do other stuff so much better. I saw polygonal wheels on Crysis: Warhead. WTF. The only game to make my system lag (generalisation..) and it has straight-edged wheels. Also close-up stuff, a lot of other games have higher details in.
In all honesty I can't say Crysis is anywhere near the best-looking game. I'll admit it has epic landscapes and huge attention to detail, but compared to other new stuff it lacks where it shows.
I'm glad i'm not the only one who thought FC2 was rubbish compared to the orginal, Man I was soo dissapointed the day I got that installed it and everything than after about 1 hour i was like "this rather shallow compared to FC1".
Now don't get me wrong the Graphics are great but Crysis d*cks all over it. I have both running in full and I can safely say Crysis's feel a lot more natural and just generally more detailed.
Please Crytek, try to buy the rights back for FC!

Come back and say that when you start playing on high or above on a high res. You'll notice you were wrong.
1920x1080, maxed settings, 4x AA ? I repeat, the landscape and trees is probably the best so far, but other stuff is slightly overtaken by other games.
Like frozen levels and the ice build-up on the sniper-scope. That amazes me to this day. But humans, cars, some guns, buildings.. other games have since done it better.
Or it could be personal preference, to what your eyes tend to focus on. I don't want to argue with you if it's just back and forth lol.
Swedish prices always include the 25% VAT. A more fair comparison that history has proven to be fairly accurate when it comes to tech in general is $10 USD = 100 SEK. So, at 599 SEK it's most likely to be priced at $59 in US stores (plus tax).
(599 * 0,8) * Swedish krona = 64,3723736 U.S. dollars
In Africa again? I'll pass.
No way man. Yes, Act 1 was odd and repetitive, a little like GTA, forcing you to drive through endless roadblocks to get from one end of the map to another.
But Act 2 and especially Act 3 were awesome, with the southern map being much more entertaining and the missions very interesting. The amount of detail was amazing.
If they have that rubbish DRM on it then I will skip it.
Look this is a list of vehicles I would like to be able to drive in far cry 3: bulletproof SUV with a machine gun on top , C130 Hercules (If u played all of the call of duty modern warfare 2 campaign u drive into one) MIG fighter gets, HIND attack helicopters, AA flak guns, drivable barges, be able to pick up and move mounted turrets. Also I would like to have a rope which u can attach one end to a vehicle and get pulled along by it, also give us Pave Lows!!! All o which you can drive, make it how you can hire mercenaries that follow you around, get attachments for weapons that sometimes u can remove on the fly.
well i am posting this on wednesday 29 of december 2010 there is 2 days left but i know it wont come out so they really f**ked up just shows the sweds know nothing

Perfectly understandable. Even though I kept my copy, I've always thought (and still think that) FC2 is incredibly booooring... And the Infamous setting... well... let's just call it "Dante Must Die!"
Oh, also: I pressed the link for Far Cry 3 on Webhallen.com - and only Far Cry 1 and 2 copies showed up - report: no Far Cry 3 provided at the Far Cry 3 @ Webhallen.com link.
I believe and still rate FC2 as one of the best single player FPS in the business. I love the fact that i have every weapon in the game, but if my plan for the mission gets boned, I'm as useless as a noob on a COD server. FC2 makes you think, and move and act with considered precision. That's why it's abhorred by run-and-gun enthusiasts.
FC2 is more Modern Warfare than COD ever could be. Same faceless enemies, same unrelenting attack vectors as those you face in real situations. Same need for ingenuity and stealth. Reviewers bag this game for the lack of common stealth conventions. I believe it is the most stealthy game i've ever played. no quarter is given by the AI for flamboyant attacks, and that forces stealth tactics upon the player like never before, within rigid boundaries.
FC2 was a game before its time. I only hope that Ubisoft stay true to the original convention.
I got FC2 free with my GTX 295 and I wasn't really impressed. Hopefully, the devs will be able to script AI a little better this time

I am a HUGE "Lonesome Dove" fan! I've read all the books and seen all the movies and can't wait for "Commanche Moon" to air! I'm wodering how they're going to do the part where Inush Skull was captured and put in a cage to hang over a canyon after they cut his eyelids off!! For those interested, I am the moderator of "Hat Creek", a yahoo based group. You can find it at http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/hatcreek/ Unfortunately, there's not a lot of current activity on it, but I hope that will change once Commanche Moon is on. |

TORONTO – He deftly bounced the Tyler Bozak feed off his left skate and onto the blade of his stick before beating a flabbergasted Craig Anderson with the eventual game-winner, and third goal of yet another scorching night.
It was the summation of the fifth career hat trick and fifth career 30-goal season for Phil Kessel – he also added an assist – whose scorching play continues to lead a burning Leafs run, one that reached nine wins in 11 games at the ACC on Saturday night.
"It's fun to watch," Nazem Kadri said of Kessel's play after a 6-3 win over Ottawa, the 23-year-old catching fire himself in recent weeks. "He's making plays out there left, right and centre so we'll just keep letting him do what he does."
Kessel has mesmerized with his electric production amid the Leafs charge – which has them three points back of Tampa for second in the Atlantic division – totaling 10 goals and 23 points in the past 12 games. He has vaulted into fourth in league scoring with 61 points, now trailing only Alex Ovechkin with 30 goals – the fourth time he's reached that mark in five seasons with the Leafs, the lockout-shortened 48-game season the lone exception.
The 26-year-old, set to join Team USA for the second time at the upcoming Olympics in Sochi, appears well on his way to eclipsing a career-high of 37 markers and could very well challenge the 40-goal plateau for the first time.
"It's hard to really put a limit on him," said Bozak, who had a goal and an assist and now has 29 points in 33 games this season. "He can get so streaky. Three goals tonight, who knows next game. You never know with him. I definitely wouldn't doubt him getting 40 goals by any means."
Kessel is on pace for 43 goals and 88 points, both of which would prove career-highs.
Toronto is 16-3-3 when he scores this season and 26-6-4 when he records a point.
Five Points
1. Kessel vs. Ottawa
With their third win in three tries against the Senators this season, the Leafs have now beaten their Ontario rival nine times in the past 10 meetings.
Much of that success is owed to their leading scorer, who toys with Ottawa like no other. Kessel has 18 goals and 35 points versus the Senators in 25 games as a Leaf and more career goals (25) and points (46) against them than any other team.
2. Kessel's All-Around Game
Though his performance is aptly judged on the level of offence he produces, Kessel's all-around efforts and competitiveness have notably risen during the Leafs sizzling run, which sees them with 66 points on the year.
Pointing first to the deadly shot and skating ability of his teammate, Joffrey Lupul observed that "you know when [Kessel's] really playing well because of how he's competing on pucks down-low in the offensive end – turning his back, protecting the puck – and he's been doing that for a while now. It makes him really effective down there."
Added Randy Carlyle: "He's been classified as this one type of player and we think that he's got more of an all-around ability too because he can distribute the puck, he can pass the puck, he can find people, he can do a lot more things than just shoot."
Kessel has 13 assists during the 12-game run.
3. Secondary Hot Streak
Kadri's hot streak also kept marching on against the Senators. The 23-year-old set up Lupul for the Leafs second goal – which erased a 2-0 deficit – infuriating the Ottawa bench as he did so.
Aggressive on the forecheck, Kadri connected with rookie defender Cody Ceci from behind before digging out the puck and feeding his teammate, who was all alone parked in front. The visitors believed a penalty should have been called on the hit from behind and the goal waved off.
"I think he turned just to try and give himself a little more room," Kadri said of Ceci. "At that point I'm just fully committed to hit and I just finished my check. To be honest, I did let up a little bit and the puck was laying there and I just put it in front."
Kadri, who played over 23 minutes (nearing a season-high), also added an empty-netter and has 14 points in the past nine games. He is up to 40 points in 53 games this season.
4. Back on Track
In a stretch of 20 games between November and December, Joffrey Lupul failed to find the score-sheet 16 times, producing points (10) in just four games.
Bouncing between left and right wing, Lupul played with a rotating cast of centres that included everyone from Jay McClement to James van Riemsdyk to Peter Holland and Trevor Smith. "You would like to stay on one line the entire year because that means, for me you're staying healthy first of all, and having success with your linemates," the 30-year-old told the Leaf Report late last month. "But we've had so many guys in and out of the lineup – myself included, Clarkson, Kulemin, Bozak, everyone's been out – there's been nothing really set in stone other than Phil and JVR together, that's been pretty much the only thing."
Entrenched with the same linemates – Nik Kulemin and Nazem Kadri – for the past eight games, while back at his preferred left wing, Lupul is finding a more consistent offensive touch. He scored his 17th goal against the Senators and now has eight points in the past eight games, totaling 33 points in 48 games this season.
"He's a different player on the left side," said Carlyle.
5. Rielly's Improvement
Questioned on where he had improved most from the start of his first full NHL training camp, 19-year-old Morgan Rielly pointed to the defensive end.
"I'd like to think there are a few things I've improved on," he told the Leaf Report. "I would say playing defence in my own end. I think that's an area of the game that as a team we've been trying to improve. I think as we kept practicing that and keep talking about it I think that I've been able to improve at that. But I think I can keep working at it."
More specifically, Rielly said he's improved in his ability to close out on opposing forwards, sealing them against the glass and thus more quickly erasing offensive opportunities.
"Just trying to end plays," he said. "I think that in the past I was just trying to keep them outside. I was a bit too cautious. I think I'll get stronger at just closing in on them and just trying to end the play."
Now paired with Tim Gleason, Rielly's defensive assignments are getting tougher and included Ottawa captain Jason Spezza on Saturday evening.
23 – Points for Phil Kessel in the past 12 games, totaling 10 goals in that span.
14 – Points in the past nine games for Nazem Kadri.
8 – Times in the past nine games that Kadri has registered at least a point.
6 – Consecutive wins for the Leafs at home, the first time they've accomplished that feat since Mar.6 – Apr. 7, 2007 (9-game streak).
26 – Power-play goals for the Leafs at home this season, most in the NHL.
16-3-3 – Leafs record this season when Kessel scores a goal.
18 – Goals for Kessel in 25 career games as a Leaf against Ottawa.
3:43 – Ice-time for Greg McKegg in his NHL debut.
10-10 – Toronto penalty kill in the past three games.

Quote of the Night I
"It's a new one for me. To me, it's crazy. A guy wears a new pair of skates in the morning, plays the game that night and the next morning he's got lace bite. Go figure. I'm at a loss to explain it."
-Randy Carlyle, on the injury which kept Peter Holland out of Saturday's lineup.
Quote of the Night II
"He's talking. Four points and he talks."
-Tyler Bozak, upon seeing the media-relunctant Phil Kessel speaking with reporters.

Unfortunately, Hasbro decided to pre-pose his legs, and there is no articulation in the knees or ankles. Plo Koon's hood comes in two separate removable hard plastic pieces, which fit perfectly onto the figure. His under-arm armor is molded onto the arms and are not removable. Master Plo does not stand very securely without support, but there are holes in his feet so you can put him on a stand. Overall, this is a great figure and one of the coolest Jedi released so far!

Abelia x grandiflora 'Sherwoodii'
Glossy Abelia
Evergreen, Shrubs, Semi-evergreen
ABELIAGraceful, arching branches densely clothed with oval, usually glossy leaves 1/2 - 1 1/2 inches long; bronzy new growth. Tubular or bell-shaped flowers in clusters at ends of branches or among leaves. Though small, blossoms are plentiful enough to be showy, mostly during summer and early fall. When blooms drop, they usually leave purplish or copper-colored sepals that provide color into the fall months. Leaves also may take on bronzy tints in fall.
To keep the shrub's graceful form, prune selectively; don't shear. The more stems you cut to the ground in winter or early spring, the more open and arching next year's growth will be. Abelias are adaptable plants, useful in shrub borders, as space dividers and visual barriers, and near house walls; lower kinds are good bank or ground covers.
This cross between two Chinese species is the best known and most popular of the abelias. To 8 ft. or taller, spreading to 5 ft. or wider. Loses most of its leaves at 15°F/9°C. Freezes to the ground at 0°F/-18°C but usually recovers to bloom the same year, making a graceful border plant 10-15 in. high.

Born in 1901 in Budzanów, Poland, Austria-Hungary (now Budanov, Ukraine), Lee Strasberg came to the United States at age 7. In the early 1920s, he became an actor and stage manager with the Theatre Guild. In 1931, Strasberg co-founded the Group Theatre, where he directed brilliant experimental plays such as Men in White (1933). After working in Hollywood (1941–1948), he returned to New York City to become artistic director of the Actors Studio.
"The real secret to method acting—which is as old as the theater itself—is creating reality."
Early Life and Career
Born on November 17, 1901, in Budzanów, Poland, Austria-Hungary (now Budanov, Ukraine), Lee Strasberg went on to become one of the top acting teachers of the 20th century. Al Pacino, Sidney Poitier, Paul Newman, Maureen Stapleton and Marlon Brando were among his many students at the Actors Studio in New York City. Strasberg moved to New York with his family in 1909. He first became involved in the theater at the Chrystie Street Settlement House, acting in productions staged there.
Strasberg had a life-changing experience in 1923, when he attended a performance directed by Constantin Stanislavski. The production was part of the Moscow Art Theatre's American tour, and Stanislavski's work influenced Strasberg's entire career path. Around this time, Strasberg began working with the Theatre Guild. He started out as an assistant stage manager and then moved into acting.
After retiring from the stage in 1929, Strasberg soon created his own dramatic organization. He formed the Group Theatre in 1931 with Cheryl Crawford and Harold Clurman. While with the Group Theatre, Strasberg directed numerous plays, including the Pulitzer Prize-winning drama Men in White by Sidney Kingsley. The organization also produced several works by Clifford Odets.
The Actors Studio
In 1948, Strasberg joined the Actors Studio as a teacher. The studio had been founded the previous year by Elia Kazan, Cheryl Crawford and Robert Lewis. Its aim was to provide theatrical professionals—actors, directors and playwrights—with the opportunity for creative exploration and growth. Strasberg became famous for his approach to acting, which drew from Stanislavski's techniques.
Strasberg asked his students to engage in what is known as "method" acting—actors call upon their own emotions and experiences and incorporate them into their performances. "The real secret to method acting—which is as old as the theater itself—is creating reality," Strasberg once said, according to the Boston Globe. "That is tremendously difficult. Some actors think behaving casually is the same thing."
In the early 1950s, Strasberg became the artistic director of the Actors Studio. He spent more than 30 years leading this creative enterprise, working with such great talents as James Dean, Julie Harris, Jane Fonda and Joanne Woodward. In 1969, Strasberg established the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute.
Later Years
Strasberg returned to acting in the 1970s. In 1974, he played a Jewish crime figure in Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather: Part II, and received an Academy Award nomination for his supporting role in the film.

Well it's much larger than I expected it would be. I did not pay careful attention to the details. It wouldn't look right where I originally planned to install it, but I was able to find another spot for it so I didn't have to return it. It still looks great, and I'm happy with this purchase.

We haven't installed it yet, but it looks beautiful and I can't wait to get it up. It's perfect, very excited.

Compact and elegant 4" (100mm) bookshelf speakers designed for those with discerning taste.
To meet the needs of discerning audiophiles who place as much importance on style as they do on sound, we've created the Loft Series. Designed for home audio use, this line of speakers delivers the great JBL® sound that you've come to love in a contemporary form factor that is sure to make a statement. The series' Loft30 is a pair of compact, two-way speakers made for the bookshelf or the wall. (Either way, you'll want to show off their elegant looks.) Each speaker in this pair features a 4-inch (100-millimeter) PolyBass woofer for clear, resounding bass and a 1-inch (25-millimeter) soft dome tweeter that can reach frequencies up to 20kHz. Each tweeter also features our proprietary Elliptical Oblate Spheroidal™ (EOS) waveguide, which evenly distributes sound throughout your home theater and makes every seat a perfect listening position. The Loft30 speakers also use our Straight-Line Signal Path™ (SSP) design to ensure that a strong, precise signal arrives at each driver with little alteration from the original source. Whether you crave a two-channel stereo setup or a multi-channel surround-sound system, the Loft30 bookshelf speakers are ready to blow you away and look good while doing so.
At a glance:
10 – 100 watts suggested amplifier range
4" (100mm) PolyBass woofer
1" (25mm) soft dome tweeter with EOS waveguide
FreeFlow port technology
Straight-Line Signal Path (SSP) design
Accurate frequency response
10 – 100 watts suggested amplifier range
JBL engineers designed the Loft30 bookshelf speakers to produce precise, exceptional sound from a receiver or amplifier capable of delivering up to 100 watts.
4" (100mm) PolyBass woofer
Paper produces the most natural sound of all driver materials. We've reinforced the Loft30's paper woofer cones with a proprietary polymer that provides additional stiffness and damping to the cone surface. These qualities provide the listener with tight bass and extended low frequencies without breakup or distortion.
1" (25mm) soft dome tweeter with EOS waveguide
The Loft30's tweeter features a 1-inch (25-millimeter) soft dome with high sensitivity and fast transient response for accurate high-frequency reproduction. The tweeter integrates with an EOS (Elliptical Oblate Spheroidal) waveguide, giving high-frequency sounds a wide, consistent listening window. The result is an incredibly broad stereo image across a huge listening area.
FreeFlow port technology
A rear-firing FreeFlow™ port is acoustically matched to the Loft30's woofer to move air out of the speaker's cabinet. You'll get extended bass response with low distortion, adding power to your music and excitement to your movie soundtracks.
Straight-Line Signal Path (SSP) design
The ideal path from input to components to transducers is a straight line. The Loft30 takes that path. Its Straight-Line Signal Path (SSP) technology preserves the clarity, detail and dynamics of your favorite audio content.
Accurate frequency response
The Loft30 doesn't over-emphasize or under-emphasize any sounds. With a frequency response of 70Hz − 20kHz, it reproduces a true, full sound range from deep bass tones to ultrahigh frequencies.

The New York Times paints two very different pictures of a Silicon Valley high school
Matt Richtel's 4,000-word story on the front page of Sunday's New York Times -- part of the paper's Your Brain on Computers series -- reads like an indictment of a generation driven to distraction by shiny gadgets, their minds permanently rewired by too much time spent texting, networking, surfing the Web and playing video games.
The 7:45-minute video Richtel made to accompany the piece, by contrast, is a story of redemption through technology, in which Vishal Singh -- the 17-year-old in the lead of the newspaper story who can't stay focused long enough to read "Cat's Cradle" -- finds his true calling as a filmmaker on an iMac running Final Cut Pro.
"Do I worry about a student like Vishal?" says Woodside High School principal David Reilly to the camera. "I don't. He is going to turn out just fine."

7.2 million YouTube viewers can't be wrong: A provocative new way to look at the global warming
"Greg Craven has written a brilliant and unique work on global warming. His innovative and intelligent approach to this controversial issue is superbly crafted. It is an important book that is a must read for those who care about our planet and future generations."Based on a series of viral videos that have garnered more than 7.2 million views, this visually appealing book gives readers-be they global warming activists, soccer moms, or NASCAR dads-a way to decide on the best course of action, by asking them to consider, "What's the worst that could happen?" And for those who decide that action is needed, Craven provides a solution that is not only powerful but also happens to be stunningly easy. Not just another "change your light bulb" book, this intriguing and provocative guide is the first to help readers make sense-for themselves-of the contradictory statements about global climate change. The globe is warming! or The globe is not warming. We're the ones doing it! or It's a natural cycle. It's gonna be a catastrophe! or It'll be harmless. This is the biggest threat to humankind! or This is the biggest hoax in history.

-General Anthony C. Zinni USMC (Retired) "This book trumps most of our accounts of the global warming crisis, partly for its good humor and straightforward logic, and partly because the author has actually figured out what actions make sense. Changing your lightbulb will help a little, but changing the political debate will help enormously-and this book will get you started down that path." -Bill McKibben, author The End of Nature "The worst thing that could happen is that you don't read this book! Greg Craven has written a valuable primer on the global warming debate." -Gregg Easterbrook, author, Sonic Boom "This is a tremendous book and well worth anyone's time to read. It very clearly and concisely covers all the important points not only about the climate change situation in our moment, but how we think and decide about important issues. Anyone who enjoyed Craven's YouTube triumph "The Most Terrifying Video You'll Ever See" will enjoy unpacking that experience in this book, and for people running into Craven for the first time, you're in for a treat-he is funny as well as well as exceptionally clear, and wise." -Kim Stanley Robinson, the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of The Mars trilogy and Science in the Capital |
