I don't have Sky Sports in my house and had no money to get to the pub and a 4000 word essay for Friday. I really wanted to watch the game. I fucking hate Sky, put the Champions League back on ITV.
I've just been watching the Sky Sports News pages all night. |

I always flick it on to see what Thommo has to say, and Le Tiss is my footballing idol, so....
Of course, you didn't have Andy Gray trying desperately to put the commentators curse on us. |

Could get Lyon or Bayer Leverkusen, both good sides, but I think we could beat them.

i dont think it really matters whether you finish top or second in this champions league: chelsea or arsenal could get real, munich, barca, psv, werder or porto. liverpool or united could get inter, milan, lyon, juve, leverkusen or monaco. its tough either way.
and speaking of juve: in 6 games, they won 5 and drew tonight. in the process they scored the mighty total of 6 goals and conceded just the one. i just hope the english teams avoid juve as if they carry that on its gonna be two boring matches..... |

This is when the Champions Leage gets interesting.
Who would have thought that last year's final would have been Porto v Monaco, so anything could happen. I know that none of those teams will be looking foward to coming to Anfield. |

Anfield is where Arsenal plays right? I hate that place. I don't know if its the angle they put TV cameras or if its just an odd pitch, but the games seem completely different.

Liverpool plays at Anfield, Arsenal plays at Highbury.
But you're right about Arsenal games looking weird, the stands are low at Highbury (and I'm assuming that's where the cameras are mounted) which is why the picture probably looks so different, and I think it's the narrowest field in the Premiership or something, but it is definitely smaller than many other fields. |

I dunno, Milan can be seriously suss at the back at times, and Celtic had a good go against them home and away, I think we'd have some chance.
I'd still say Milan or Inter would beat us, but I think we'd have a chance. |

Yeah, the Roma fans were banned but Italian fans are shit when their teams are in Europe. Juventus always have an empty stadium when they play champions league matches. They average around 10,000. They only really care about domestic matches.
Kevin Bond has left us and joined Southampton. He can fuck off even more because we REALLY needed him at the moment. Redknapp claims he didnt know how big the rivalry was Yeah, alright then Harry, you seemed to know how important it was when we beat them last season...He also claims he would like to sign some players from us. Haha, okay. Great goal by Stevie Gerrard though

Arsenal.
I wish Arsenal would turn it on in the Champions League. Imagine Arsenal in full flow against Barcelona. The attacking football would be sumptious. |

Arsenal are moving to a new stadium soon, think it'll be in 2006.
Good to see all 4 English clubs progressing in the champions league too. |

Apparently Yeading have opted to play Newcastle away from home. Whether that means its gonna be at Newcastle or somewhere else in London is not yet confirmed.

The draw tomorrow morning, I'm more anxious about that than my coursework.
Oh and the only country (I think) to get 4 clubs into the knock-out phase.

The only thing i'd be worried about is Hoddle's record for leaving clubs, his manageial record isn't too bad really
![]() Got Swindon up, Dazz seems to like him so i guess he did alright at Chelsea, not so great at England or Spurs but did well at Southampton. |
