Inter Milan boss revels in his return to Stamford Bridge
Jose Mourinho was able to hand-deliver a very special message to the man who booted him out of the Chelsea hot-seat last night. Mourinho’s Inter Milan side won a scrappy game 0-1 to go through 1-3 on aggregate.

Not-so golden oldies
Manchester United were superb last night. Wayne Rooney in particular was a real handful and unquestionably will be at the centre of any would-be English World Cup success in the summer (fingers crossed he stays fit!).

Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed that centre-back Jonny Evans felt the super-turbo setting of his hairdryer setting after sitting in the wrong place at half-time.

Arsenal defender keeps his scoring ‘run’ going
Sol Campbell has two goals in his last two Champions League games after his header against Porto last night - but his previous goal came 45 months ago. The centre-back’s last appearance in the competition came in the 2006 final against Barcelona.
He was on target that night despite Arsenal [...]
