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

Arsenal - Dortmund being on ITV has made my week. Prospect of midfield's both being slightly lighter-weight than usual with Flamini and Gundogan both out, potential for luscious free-flowing attacking football is high

superfluous apostrophes, really got my money's worth out of that English degree

is dortmund's hardman, not gundogan

lewa auba and reus vs big merts ought to be some entertainment

still kinda feel like dortmund will flake this out though

Well yeah Bender obviously more defensively minded than Gundogan but Ilkay plays sits deep and covers quite a lot of ground, won't do them any good not to have him in there with all of Arsenal's attacking mids. Who's playing instead of Gundogan atm, Sahin?

Yup, Sahin. Gundogan is their best mid by far tho. Grosskreutz the weak link at FB. Reus has been terrific so far this season and Aubameyang only so so.

Want back to back Dortmund wins in this double header so that it all comes down to Napoli-Arsenal in the final game.

how has Mkhitaryan been doing so far? Haven't heard much about him

Haven't seen their last 2 games but the 5 before that he was pretty great. Moves the ball v quickly and smoothly, not a tricksy #10 but good at finding space and making runs into the box. I hadn't seen him play before this season but now that I have I'd say that if he had gone to LFC then only Suarez would be remotely on his level.

CSKA manager Leonid Slutsky agrees that the pitch is in a poor state.

Slutsky, whose side have lost five of their last seven games in all competitions, said: "I suppose the quality of the pitch is, absolutely, equal to the quality of our latest results."

Guardian mbm'ing Milan-Barca tonight but not Celtic-Ajax

Keano!

Good work Chilesy, would've been easy to duck that

gah, Keano occupying the moral high ground not as good as watching Keano not

Wrighty pronouncing it 'ozzle' pleases me

bah i missed the keano bit

did he just stop himself from saying "absofuckinglutely" a minute ago btw

Chiles's question was nice: 'On a scale of 1 to 10, how angry are you?'

02 Sep 2002
Sir Alex Ferguson said last night that he had changed his mind about Roy Keane's sending-off against Sunderland and admitted that the Manchester United captain deserved to be shown the red card for his clash with Jason McAteer.

McAteer, one of the Republic of Ireland players who criticised Keane for walking out of the World Cup squad, was clearly shown on television baiting Keane. He mouthed, "Put it in your book", to Keane and mimed writing, a reference to the United captain's controversial autobiography.

ok seen it now. did like wright giggling his tits off tbf

also lol at him with "the all-seeing all-knowing alex ferguson saying those things it seems a bit unnecessary"

clinical

balls up

fuckin Aaron Ramsey eh. getting a big head

umm kit ari anne

lol kloppo is such a cartoon character

arse lucky to get nil so far jeff

srsly looks like dortmund have 17 players on the pitch

Fairly even at Celtic Park, though we're* starting to give it away in our own half and commit a few fouls.

Ajax just hit the post.

* we in this case meaning Emilio Izaguirre

fuck you arsenal, yr pants, i was looking forward to this all day

thanks Arsenal i feel okay about staying in now

Giroud's been really good

Messilike finish

still dont understand his hair but great cf play

yeah hes looked the most lively for arsenal. this is good though it was like watching spain v ireland there for a bit

Penalty to us... scored by Forrest after loads of time wasting and fucking about by Ajax + ref.

lol at Chiles using Roy as his straight man. No way he finishes the night with all his teeth

We've started the second half well.

Millions of polis surrounding the Ajax fans - something either kicking off or just about to, I think.

2-0

2-0!

Forster saves one-on-one and we went up the other end and scored right away - slight deflection from Kayal shot took it away from the keeper.

apparently the Ajax fans are ripping up seats and launching them at Celtic fans, stewards and police

been causing trouble all day in town apparently

are ajax fans noted cunts?

I went to the game in Amsterdam in 2000 and we had to run a gauntlet of flying bricks and poles and bottles to get into the stadium.

"one's called Ronald, one's called Frank" ringing around Celtic Park :)

are ajax fans noted cunts?

i know what one of our posters is gonna say here :D

Did you rang? :)

GO CELTIC AND YES AJAX FANS ARE V V NOTABLE CUNTS

there it is

ha

Ghehe, i honestly hadn't looked at ilx for weeks, but thought 'Awes! Celtic 2-0 up!' Timing is everything :)

Terrible referee this, he's just forced Celtic to substitute a defender when they wanted to wait until after a set piece.

Ajax have had more and better chances but their finishing has been woeful so far.

oof
