Yes! That's a difficult one. I'm also annoyed that Barcelona have the easiest group.

Transfer Deadline Day... quite a few deals going on, don't think anything big will be happening though.

30 mins peeps 

I was hoping for news from anyone else. I'm ensconced in the BB fred  

I may be wrong, but there seems to be an awful lot of loan deals from Man City 

 

  Think outside the box man! 

Still trying to shift the shite that Mark Hughes signed... funnily enough, he's doing the same thing at QPR.

We may have retained Emnes. Who knows?

Bugger.

Good result against Spurs

What a terrible day. Capitulation against Hull and several ex-Bolton players deemed not good enough shining brightly elsewhere.

As I usually say at this juncture, "early days!"

Don't know about you but I'm feeling very depressed ...

Dreadful  

It really is too early to be worried.

I think Guisbrough Town will have their record, never to be repeate,d crowd today.

Guisbro' won 4-1. I bet that lerkal gadjie off Waterloo Road was over the moon.

Yippee normal service is resumed!

Did everyone else sing "justice for the 96?"

Just us then. A surprising 2-0 win. We're on th bus back home.

Bolton made that much harder than it should have been. 2-0 and looking comfortable, and then they sat back instead of pushing on.

Crouch playing basketball in the box got them a draw... absolutely ridiculous

 

Glad Mancini brought it up later, he may aswell have just picked the ball up and thrown it into the net.

 

Mancini on Stoke:

 

"It's not football, it's NBA"

That was a lump in the throat ending to MOTD2.

Oh well, Ronaldo the d*ckhead does it again.

I don't think there is anything more horrific in football than seeing your best defender shit himself and duck when the ball comes at him... Kompany crapped himself when Ronaldo hit that ball.

Crazy last 20 minutes.

 

  Manchester City keeper Joe Hart: "It's not on. You can't go 2-1 up and lose the game. We can only blame ourselves."

 

City were poor in the opening half hour of the game and Hart kept them in it so i guess he has a right to be gutted.

 

Good start for Arsenal away from home although i hear they were under the cosh towards the end.

We were complaining that we always seem to play Blackpool away on a night and thus can't go. We aren't complaining now. Further embarrassment to be suffered on Friday night.

Predictions:

 

Chelsea 2 Juventus 1

Man Utd 4 Galatasaray 0

Celtic 1 Benfica 2

As long as Bavaria Munich lose, I couldn't give a toss!

Further humiliation on a TV near you tonight.

Just finished watching! We watched double corrie and knobs end and then saw the second half on catch up. One is the ideal husband apparently. We're the red and white army!

Did anyone else notice that Chris out of Neighbours is affecting a Scandinavian accent and managing Swansea?

What? You know that I have zero tolerance for the cheating Bavarians! I'm going to see Hannover 69ers play Dortmund in a couple of weeks btw. I'll think of you as I travel over the Hohenzollern brucke on the way.

Nice to see Josh McEachran getting regular first-team starts!

Apart from a couple of games, he has done very well. The highlight from MOTD was seeing Ashley Cole score a goal.

It's just that since Gerd Mueller, I've supported them. This goes back right to me being about 12. Thanks for thinking about me in my home town. Can you throw it a wee kiss from me please.

I'll put a love padlock on it for you if you like.

... I didn't want to ask.

Nice to see we've finally remembered how to win away.
