[Archived] Champions League Games

[philipl]

Shabani Nonda (presumably its him) has just pulled one back for Galatasaray against Steaua who got off to a flyer with two quick goals in Istanbul.

The two Ukraine teams have had very impressive results whilst two minnows, Kaunas and Famagusta are going OK at the moment.

Liverpool could have been 2 down, one that looked over the line, and a pen miss

[roversmum]

Liverpool just got lucky twice. The ball was definitely in their net, no goal given; then Reina saved a penalty.

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

It's Liverpool, what do you expect?

[Grabbi Graeme]

How funny would that of been £20m on Keane and trying to entice Gareth Barry and they could be 2 down and face an early exit out of the Champions League.

[Hughesy]

Dont think they are going to sign Barry as Alonso is playing so thats him cup-tied and therefore surely wont be sold.

Not sure about the 1st, dont think the whole ball crossed the line. The second however wasnt even in the box so only fair he saved it I suppose.

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Arse take the lead against The Wally.

[Ronin]

2-0 to L'Arse, and according to reports, the Red Bindippers are struggling against Stadard Liege.

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Liege just went pretty close, Liverpool getting pinned back.

Clive Tyesdley must be THE most patronising commentator on TV.

'Standard Liege are enjoying their big night out'

Liege are the reigning Belgian champions, one of the oldest clubs in Europe with a not too shabby history.

Such arrogance is one of the reasons that I pray for 'our' teams (well the top 4 mainly) to get knocked out as early as possible each season.

How did Brolly Power not slay Arsenal?

God, this world is such a rip-off.

Same.

I was quite impressed by Liege but I still fancy Liverpool to progress at Anfield.

[DeadlyDirk]

Useless Liverpool cost me my accumulator, although quite a few of the Standard players looked decent, maybe we should look into signing some if they get knocked out in the second leg.

An interesting result from tonight:

CLQR32: FT Wisla Krakow 1-0 Barcelona

That surely makes us better than Barcelona?

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

I seem to remember the last time we played Barca.

Hughesy got the winner with a sweet volley.

Indeed we did

My favourite line: "the impressive Nathan Blake" :D

[philipl]

Good luck to Standard Liege.

The best thing that could happen to revive the Premier League if they beat Liverpool.

[Billy Castell]

Come on FC Twente and Standard Liege! I don't care if it is not patriotic. I want all the top 4 to lose. Less money and status then, so it gives other clubs a chance to reach for the big prize.

Anyway, the CL is so utterly boring. It is the same 14-16 teams that do OK every season. It is a bit sad to see former greats like Ajax have no chance, whilst Chelsea, Man U and Liverpool reach the 1/2 finals again and again. It is a closed shop, and should be changed to a Euro Super League, so all the Sky TV brown nosers and fashionistas can shove off and join a sinking ship.

[philipl]

I do want Standard to win.

McClown is a different matter and Twente are already comfortably stuffed anyway.

If just Liverpool fail to qualify, their £10m gets redistributed between Chelski, Mancs and Arse. Wouldn't want £20m to go to Chelski and the Mancs would we?

[DeadlyDirk]

McLaren in his recent press conference keeps saying he knows Arsenal inside out, I beg to differ. He doesn't even know his way out of a wet paper bag.

I've got to be honest I always want the english teams to do well so I hope Liverpool and Arsenal do both go through. An all english final would be fantastic again.

Laszlo Boloni

Is that really the name of the Standard Liege coach? They deserve CL Group stage football just for that!
