Chelsea went straight on the attack. Lampard got the first strike in anger which came off the cross bar for a very narrow miss.

Kalou did come on early in extra time.

Ronaldo seems like he has lot confidence in the air with every high ball that comes to him not being challenged by him. Instead he seems to be constantly drifting off the back of his marking defender, I assume hoping the ball will drop long for him. I think that this part of the reason he has gone quiet. He is fantastic with the ball on the ground but seems reluctant to fight for it in the air.

Finally Joe Cole has been replaced. He has had bad cramp.

This extra time has been shut down by both teams with some lacklustre work most of the time. There is however some inspiring individual moments. Giggs had a shot that was deflected by Terry for a corner, but nothing came of that.

The first 10 minutes were like a short passing drill or a game of futsal as Manchester United and Chelsea tentatively felt each other out in the 2008 Champions League final in Moscow. The second 10 minutes were much of the same only Manchester United had most of the ball. However the next 6 minutes Manchester upped the pressure and were rewarded by Christiano Ronaldo's first goal at the 26 minute mark. The next 18 minutes Manchester United had it all over Chelsea with it looking like there could be another goal for Man U with 2 unlucky misses and some great goal keeping being the only reason it wasn't 3 or 4 nil.

One little tiny slip at the 44th minute saw Lampard score a goal against the run of play due to a defensive slip up.

Brief

A couple of weeks ago Tim gave me a project to write a piece about geek girls. This has rapidly turned into a marathon effort.
The general story is we are looking at the two apparent types of geek girls, those who use their gender of girlness to blog in the geek world, and those geeks who just happen to be girls.

We were initially just going to link to some sites of examples but now feel that we would get much more mileage from interviewing some geek girls. So far at least 5 have agreed and we are hoping for some more.

What we really wanted to get at is the heart of the blogger in question. Why do they blog the way they do, how do they see themselves in the world of geeks?
