After another rendition of Deutschland Uber Alles, please remember that we're meant to be supporting the English teams in Europe - especially those Utd have a glimmer of a chance of beating over two legs (in the unlikely event of beating Olympiakos)
I found DL on the BBC Live text too! Stuart Mitchell: Bayern to win 4-0 and finally show the world that English league is trailing in quality, has been for a few years.
I've no idea, honestly. Weren't they underage, somewhat bizarrely? And we looked at that incident and thought, "Hey, he'd make a good manager!"
"Weren't they underage, somewhat bizarrely?" Their paperwork wasn't correctly filed as per the rules.
If I recall correctly it was Sherwood's favourite player, who wasn't registered for the tournament yet featured in it anyway.
Can we sit Townsend and Lennon down and make them watch tapes of Robben with all of the diving edited out, please? He's quick, he knows how to run by players, but he also knows makes a lot of the right decisions and isn't afraid of playing short passes to players in better positions.
Well, I've got to say, that during that first half, Arsenal were not as embarrassing as I was expecting them to be. At times, they even seemed to be in the game. Mostly, of course, it's been Bayern, but Arsenal have defended well. Indeed, defending is all they have done, but at least it's still nil-nil. That commentator tit on ITV (not Andy Bell-end) came out with the old garbage about "Arsenal still being very much in the tie," which made me chuckle. In fact, of course, Arsenal are "very much" out of the tie. It would be nice to see them actually have a shot on goal. I have my arm-band next to me, resting on the arm of the sofa, ready for the second half. the capitulation cannot be long in coming, now.
Laughable decision to give Arsenal a goalkick, when it's clearly a corner. The 86th official didn't have his glasses on.
Pardew's been given a three match stadium ban and a four match touchline ban for nutting Meyler. Thought he'd get more than that, to be honest.
Atletico are continuing their fine league form and smashing Milan to bits. 4-1 on the night, 5-1 on aggregate. Impressive season from Simeone, even if tonight's opponents aren't anywhere near their best.
Good 'keeping from Fabianski, he's done well today. How many penalties and red cards does Koscielny accumulate during a season? Must be quite a lot, it always seems to be him at fault.
