Chelsea signed Deco, the 30-year-old Portugal’s Brazilian-born playmaker, from Barcelona on Monday, the day before Brazilian Luiz Felipe Scolari takes over as coach of the Premier League side.

Deco won the Champions League title with Porto in 2004 under Jose Mourinho and then with Barcelona in 2006.

Deco, aka Magico, started his career with Brazilian club Corinthians, before moving to Portugal in 1999. He won three Portuguese titles as well as the UEFA Cup and Champions League before moving to Barcelona in 2004.

“I am sure I have come at the right time to do great things and help Chelsea go back to the way it was and come back to being the first one not only in England but also in the champions League which has been a dream for so long,” Deco quoted on Chelsea web site.

Matt Grant and Shayne Lamas and are the latest Bachelor couple!

Matt Grant proposed to Shayne Lamas on Monday night’s season finale of The Bachelor: London Calling, much to the disappointment of Chelsea.

After the ladies visited Matt’s parents in London and had their final dates in Barbados, Matt decided he had a stronger connection with Shayne Lamas, who wore her heart on her sleeve throughout the competition.

The 22-year-old daughter of actor Lorenzo Lamas had seemed a bit spoiled in the beginning. But she quickly won Matt over and stole the British bachelor’s heart. “She doesn’t have a selfish bone in her body,” Matt said of his little “monkey” during the finale.

“Monkey, will you marry me?” he asked, before presenting her with a diamond ring. Shayne happily said yes before delivering this memorable line:

“I will marry you under one condition — that you’ll never look at another woman for the rest of our lives. Because you’ve looked at way too many during our relationship!”

“This is the happiest day of my life,” said Shayne Lamas at the broadcast’s conclusion.

Both teams have one more match to go before we know who is the English Primer League Champions. Man United is top of the table although it has the same points as Chelsea, but it edges out because of goal differences between the Goals For (F) and Goals Against (A).

We already know the Real Madrid won the La Liga Champions, though there are 2 more matches to go before the season end.

Do you know that since year 2001,
whenever Real Madrid win, Man United would also win. (2001, 2003, 2007)
whenever Valencia win, Arsenal would also win. (2002, 2004)
whenever Barcelona win, Chelsea would also win. (2005, 2006)

Chelsea beat Newscastle 2-0 at St James’s Park on Monday, ensuring the English Premier League battle will continue to the final day of the season.

Michael Ballack scored the first goal and Florent Malouda scored the second goal.

Though both Manchester United and Chelsea have the same points with 1 match to go, Manchester United stay on top due to superior goal differences.

Unless Chelsea win the last match by double digits, which seems quite impossible, the Primer League Championship title is Manchester United to lose.

On a magical night, before an Old Trafford crowd at their raucous best, the champions of England set up a all-English Champions League final through the brilliance of an Englishman, Paul Scholes.

Scholes’ goal also vindicated Sir Alex Ferguson’s decision to rest him against Chelsea on Saturday. Now United will meet the winners of this evening’s meeting between Chelsea and Liverpool in Moscow on May 21

These were the situations Scholes adores, a yard of space just outside the box, a glimpse of an unprotected goalkeeper as defenders vainfully sought to man the barricades. The gift of possession had been kindly donated by Barcelona, by Gianluca Zambrotta, a World Cup-winning full-back bizarrely turning into a hung-over Sunday league player. Having gained the ball from Cristiano Ronaldo, the Italian inexplicably hit it blind across his area. Scholes had his chance. That right foot thudded into the ball, sending it flying past Gabriel Milito and then curling away from Victor Valdes in the Barcelona goal. Sensational.
