They'll be sacrificing sheep in the streets of Karagandy tonight - Champions League 2013/14

Holy shit that Ambrose/Forster fankle was exactly the sort of thing I was saying about calamitous and terrible. AC Milan are very much hit'n'hoping it here though. Game's there for the taking.

Acres of space at the back cost hummels subbed off, before they reorganised ball over the top, weidenfeller charges off his line to stop higuin, handles outside of the box.

What I hate so much is that the pundits here are saying it ain't half bad from Ajax. The audience in Barcelona seem equally impressed by Ajax as a name from the past. They'd be sacrificing sheep in the stands if Barca were only 1-0 up against Karagandy. But when it's Ajax they have this huge respect all of a sudden. Fuck that.

Who's on Dortmund-watch? Down to 10 men? Is my both-teams-to-score coupon gubbed?

xposts, ah ok, cheers.

Good first half for Celtic, bar a couple of scary moments. Matthews getting all sorts of opportunities but unfortunately looking every bit the full back pushed forward too far. Mulgrew in midfield surprisingly effective for once.

Ismael, Napoli looking v good, atmosphere amazing. Lewandowski did have the first chance tho, good save by pepe. Rafa knows Europe.

On revista Guillem Balague reckoned Celtic could qualify out of their group. He didn't think Milan were anything other than poor.

Ailsa, how's Virgil van Dijk holding up?

not as good as the Valbuena/Kompany pic but in the same ballpark:

Van Dijk looking OK, nothing scary (awaits usual jinx to ensue). Was really impressed with him at the weekend.

I want to say nice things about van Dijk in 43 minutes or so.

^ that's what I should have done.

Thought Sami was going to score a belter there.

Guardian mbm says "Willian looking entirely surplus to requirements"

anyone watching can comment?

Charlie Mulgrew just attempted a bicycle kick and ended up on his arse. Stick to, er, not doing that, please.

sitter missed for Milan - they're getting in behind us now

Aye, Muntari should've scored there. My mind is still boggling at a world where Charlie Mulgrew attempts bicycle kicks against AC fucking Milan.

Thanks Ailsa! Always thought of him as a bright prospect. Holland is v v low on backs, and he seems like a good guy. Hope he continues to improve.

arsenal lead, defensive fuck-up, good finish by theo

My bottle's gone here. We're getting at them but it's leaving us wide open to breaks. Milan forwards getting on the ball too easily

Insigne thunderous free kick off the underside of the bar and in. 2-0 Napoli rampant.

Aubemayang off the bar and out to deny ailsa her bet.

Positive subs from Lennon, sucker punch due any time now :(

That's the only btts I had, the rest were wins, Chelsea also now fucking it. Stupid football.

oooooh Stokes hits crossbar from free kick

Here comes young Jonas Hofmann for Dortmund. V exciting player. Been impressed with how on the front foot the napoli CB's have been tonight always looking to nick the ball around the halfway line.

fuckers

shitty deflected shot

JINXY McJINX :-(

shot was going ten yards wide

Oh, ffs, they fucking do NOT deserve to be 2 goals up.

Free kick for off the ball incident? Rule check plz.

One Celtic player following that in versus five Milan players. Fucking hopeless defending.

Zuniga og helps ailsa out. Tiny chance for Dortmund maybe.

Ref giving em some soft free kicks here.

And to add insult to injury, Dortmund get the goal I was after, but fucking Chelsea are losing now. What a fucking shit night.

lol xpost

Reus lines up the free kick...............

Good save Pepe

Chelsea lost at home to Basel!

fucking Chelsea are losing now. What a fucking shit night

Mourinho's first defeat at Stamford Bridge iirc. Second coming my arse.

Feels like an O'Neill era defeat. Loads of positives in possession etc but ultimately found out defensively once again.

They were winning until Mata came on. Clearly his fault.

Ha, yes, out of context, that looks like the wrongest thing I've ever said.

xposts to IK

Napoli hold on ,strange at the end but they were by far the better side. Suck it Jose, Rafa rules!

Didn't Chelsea lose a League Cup tie at home to Charlton or reading under mourinho at Stamford bridge?

on penalties

anyway,
