Chelsea could have guaranteed themselves a spot in the Champions League Round of 16 with a win at Bordeaux yesterday; however, they only managed an ill-deserved tie, so they will have to beat CFR Cluj at home next month in order to advance. Bordeaux played the much stronger game, especially midfielder Yoann Gourcuff (on loan from Milan). Goals were by Nicolas Anelka for Chelsea on a fluky break-away and by Alou Diarra on a header from a corner by Gourcuff which Chelsea didn't bother to defend. Late in the match, Chelsea's Frank Lampard (below) received his second yellow card and was, therefore, kicked out of the match. Of all contemporary football players, Frank Lampard (with his beady eyes, pointy nose, and large ears) is the one who most strongly resembles a rodent.
