Saw Chelsea v. Middlesbrough today, with Boro prevailing 2-1. The game was mediocrely played for the majority but exciting at the end. Boro scored in the 80th and 90th minute, with Viduka scoring the winner.

Chelsea looked terrible, as if only Shevchenko and Essien are even trying. Lampard was again a nonentity, and Chelsea's defense today was rubbish. Yakubu was often able to get free, and muffed at least two real chances to score. Boro's 80th minute goalscorer (Pogatetz) was inexplicably unmarked by Carvalho on a free kick, and promptly headed the ball home.
