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

Despite him being honking last night, I'd probably include Ambrose in the good enough category an' all. I think Ledley and Samaras will be away, if anyone will have them. I still genuinely believe Samaras can be good enough with the enormous disclaimer of "when he can be bothered", which it seems he isn't any more. When your own agent is tweeting during the match about how embarrassed he is to be watching you, you're having the very definition of a mare.

We should probably take this over to the Scottish football thread.

Olympiakos ffs

Arsenal-Bayern again, yikes

Will get killed!

Mourinho clearly fixed the draw so that he gets his Drogba reunion.

RM will score at least seven goals over 2 legs vs Schalke.

city barcelona...

Shame no City-RM cos that would be a bonkers attack fest. Barca a little more circumspect.

barca playing keep ball but not doing much with it. business as usual...

Demichelis worthy of his place tonight so far. Bloody hell, I'd forgotten what a formidable breaker Mascherano can be too. Could go any which way, or 0-0.

pretty dull first half tbh

I've missed Mascherano. Thought that was quite compelling tbh. PSG tearing things up in Bayer by the sounds.

Was outside the box I thought. Did they clear that up?

Lescott has the look of a dude who, if he played abroad, would have a big cult following here.

Ah, they just have - could've been iiuc.

it looked inside the box to me

thats two ties done and dusted tonight

Kompany not taking it too well

Vincent Kompany: "Barcelona weren't superior to us".

Roy Keane: "He's obviously tired. I'm not sure he knows what he's talking about".

i need to be absolutely clear on this:

neil lennon, resplendently redheaded against tv3's blue background, has just described zlatan's left foot screamer as having gone in

like an exorcist

pellegrini just called the ref 'not impartial' thats gonna cost him

xpost possibly a clumsy reference to how quickly the evil spirit left linda blairs body in the movie of the same name

He's got a bit of that in him

surely the best use would be a dive reference to fr karras at the end idk

Paris was amazing last night. Bayer ran after the ball the whole game.
4-0, 65% possession in an AWAY game : Paris already in the quarter finals. yay !

yeah - i feel like the only team against which they don't stand a chance is bayern; all the other teams they can possibly beat.
also got to love zlatan who when asked what it felt like scoring with his wrong foot replied that "there is no wrong foot"

Matuidi looks like a really good player. His first goal last night was class.

ahah, really ?
as for bayern, yeah. I would also include barca and real. all these teams in top form would still beat a PSG in top form, I guess.

pellegrini just called the ref 'not impartial' thats gonna cost him

"I think it was not a good idea to put a referee from Sweden in charge of such an important match..."

OK, so Pellegrini is officially a fucking idiot.

Szczesny; Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Gibbs; Flamini, Wilshere; Ozil, Cazorla, Oxlade-Chamberlain; Sanogo

Neuer; Boateng, Dante, Martinez, Alaba; Lahm; Thiago, Kroos; Robben, Mandzukic, Gotze

I had a doozy of a ticket for this but couldn't make it (work) and had to pass it on to a mate. So I'm hoping it's good, but not *that* good.

is sanogo real or

jesus christ

that peno was a fucking turd

good wank gesture by szczęsny upon exiting

That was inevitable the moment they changed tack

they fucked up that free kick and werent in position

sky commentators apologized for 'untowards gesture' by szczesny

Awesome header from Diego Costa, he must have a neck like a whip

Disbelievingly, slightly mournfully, Szczesny headed towards the tunnel, pausing for a few words of encouragement for Lukasz Fabianski, who had replaced the unfortunate Cazorla. As Szczesny left, he appeared to make a hand gesture similar to the rolling of a dice.

That has happened me tbh

Moyes concentrating on the league

such a nice goal

virtually no gk id favour over de gea on a shot like that either, maybe neuer

roy hodgson can answer the most feared costa rican question now

maybe de gea could have got closer but the curve on it was perfect

are we at the point where there are players actively not performing for Moyes now i wonder

olympiakos were rather good, not surprisingly given the latin complexion they looked like a good 7th 8th best team in la liga, they virtually never lost shape because the united movement was so shit

wasn't there that poster on rawk, allegedly a guy with some sort of coaching experience, who was convinced before the season started that Moyes would fail because his approach is all about position and shape and doesn't encourage improvisation/fluidity or something like that. sounds about right

Keane is so brilliant right now

Keane looking for a face to tear off
