Arsenal vs Udinese is top quality so far. Arsenal banging on the door Udinese break so quickly it's like finely matched boxing so far. Udinese supporters are noisey bastards apparently all under the age of 18 or so the director would have us believe. Handadovic just made 2 world class saves.

It's back YEEEESSSS!!

 

[evil bandit]

What a penalty save, one of the best I've seen !!!

Oi,champions league started weeks ago,we're now onto the "top few teams in the big leagues and a few others to make up the numbers" league.
Anyway,are barca gonna win it again?hard to see beyond them really but there's always slip ups.I expect the english and spanish teams will dominate things once quarter final time comes around.

bah, it's gonna be the same that it always is. i'd be surprised if any of the english clubs get a tough game.
always the same. can't we just fast forward to the knockout stages?

 

[xrockridgex]

It is going to look very samey alright especially as the teams I want to see the most (Napoli, Dortmund) are in the lowest pot. Hopefyull Dortmund will get a good draw, have a decent CL campaign and keep their squad together, cause the English/Spanish Duopoly is getting a tad boring.

 

[Cormcolash]

I wonder who will win the Best Player In Europe award?

 

[Cormcolash]

Wow, Man Utd getting a complete piss-take of a group. What a shock.

 

[Hector Grey]

is it a fix? seriously?
what a fucking swizz.

 

[Cormcolash]

The only way the Champions League group stages will be interesting is if they get rid of the seedings for the draw.
I wanna see Barcelona, Manure, Valencia, and Bayern Munich scrapping in the same group, whilst a bunch of dopey teams try and out-defend each other in another one.

Having watched Napoli vs City last night and AC Milan vs Barcelona tonight and both of them being absolutely brilliant (though Milan did wilt after the last goal, but that was after an 65 minutes of really great football) I'm really hoping that Manure and Chelski get knocked out quick smart so that I can see actual football on all the channels that show it.

If only the commentary team for Setanta Sports weren't so committed to licking Barcas arse i'd be delighted right now.

 

[Hector Grey]

they were fierce barca-centric weren't they? i'm not sure aquaman fouled xavi. he's a crafty fucker though. they all are. but once it hit the hour mark, the age began to tell. milan are so old. nesta is still great though.

I may have to revise part of that soon.Or will united come second and draw apoel nicosia while chelsea scrape through and land another plum draw?

Don't care so long as they both get fucking maulled by Napoli.

 

[Unicron]

Who will the Manchester Clubs get in the second round then?

 

[washingcattle]

Forza Fucking Napoli.

Please let Chelsea and Arsenal play on the same night so I can follow the best attacking team in europe all the way to.... ahh well they'll probably get destroyed by Real in the next round but still. Fuck it it could end up 10-9 on aggregate. In fairness I thought Basel played really well organised and fucking lucky as fuck but shakira or whatever his name is is a really really great lad and Frei deserves plaudits for just hanging around this long.

 

[Cormcolash]

I might actually watch some Champions League games now that there's actually a decent mix of teams in the next round.

 

[Hector Grey]

the champions league is no doubt thrilled by this.

 

[Cormcolash]

Ah fuck it, sure it's all still fixed anyway
