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

Shakira is on the bench for Bayern tonight according to Brian Kerr

legit goal by welbeck there

These hopeful/hopeless punts look more Rangers in Europe 2008 than Manchester United at home in CL.

Moyes has instilled in his players a firm belief that they are inferior to top teams and can only hang on and hope for a break.

They don't even break away like a United team. Such fear of committing forward.

neymar's touch and balance is awful, it looks like he's half cut

I persuaded a guy at work to put a pound on a Utd/Athletico double. I'm starting to think the 45/1 he got was a bit stingy.

Genuine lol at the sight of Fellaini suddenly finding himself the most advanced player on the pitch and just blinking like a rabbit in headlights.

The roars of Old Trafford excitement every time the ball crosses the half way line are getting embarrassing.

Wellbeck ffs hit the ball son

That's so poor

(got both teams to score and a Bayern win)

got my broker liquidizing 10 grand of stock

I only saw the last fifteen minutes but Utd look alright here

Bayern in possession there and every Utd player but Wellbeck was in his own penalty area there. Proper bus parking.

Giggs is playing! He just took a shit corner after being Just Another Body for 44 minutes.

Bayern are shite too.

Bayern have totally dominated this with the exception of about 10mins before the end and look completely comfortable, wtf.

thibault courtois reminds me a little of a young charles de gaulle, although at 6'6 he is an inch taller

happy enough not to have put the 850 quid on this

That Welbeck miss was horrible to watch, you just knew he was gonna fluff it. Enjoying this - Bayern haven't been good enough yet to really dent Utd's optimism and Old Trafford is getting lairy, but what with Fellaini losing the ball every five minutes and Jones skittering about as if the pitch were an ice rink, there's a wonderful sense of impending disaster about this whole thing.

Comfortable and mostly unthreatening. They should be creating more with such possession.

not watching bayern but that is what guardiola teams do in later stage away games in the champions league, with the exception of the 2-2 vs arsenal in 2010, they mostly just circulate possession endlessly as a defensive stratagem and then try for a late goal once the opposition are shot

barca atleti not that high in quality, one messi pass to iniesta aside, pinto is a disgrace as usual and piqué and costa have both left with injuries, bartra looks fast and quickwitted but diego ribas for atleti is so different to costa that their entire game has had to change

Just got home. Have I missed anything of note?

Not much. Welbeck missed a doozy, but otherwise kinda boring. There's a result here for Utd if they can keep their discipline at the back.

What a header

Moyes in

LIQUID FOOTBALL

Charlton scored against Leeds at *exactly* the same moment as that went in :D

amazing goal by diego

pinto shit but even so

If Carl doesn't cash his bet out this second he's a fool.

aw what a shame for the bairns

Pick that out, Carl

that schweinsteiger goal !

Great technique keeping that down

so satisfyingly roofed

it feels like all bayern players around the box got a touch of the ball in the 5s preceding the goal

cesc off alexis on neymar goes left, much prefer this formation

He'll be off for that

Or not, what do I know

chickenshit refereeing at its best

That Iniesta pass! Fucking hell.

yeah

neymar twice the player on the left

Wau @ that Diego goal.

rooney dived

looked a reasonable yellow to me but i only saw it once, more outraged at Valencia staying on

Utd did really well tonight, I confess I did not see that coming

better than i expected, wdn't go as far as "really well"

Your accountant will be shifting nervously in his seat

laid it off on Arsenal to win the Prem

atletico madrid are so difficult to play against when they are shelling like that

messi had a couple of excellent throughballs and a good fk but he wasn't as good as he needs to be for barcelona to win really difficult games

tata probably should have gone with three forwards to begin with, or played alexis from the start because neymar off the right is the worst sort of compromise

lol "Transmission"
