I always find it strange when no one posts for a while, then two people post at the exact same time. Looks like ESPN2 is carrying the Liverpool-Porto match today.

 

[DSWii60]

Damn I just realised I'm out from 7:30pm to 9:30pm. Couldn't have picked a worse time if I'd wanted to.

 

[Steroyd]

I can't imagine many neutrals have much interest in Chelsea - Rosenborg.

Neutrals?

They can't even get Chelsea fans to go watch that nevermind "neutrals".

 

[Mama Smurf]

Well I think for a not very interesting game that's on TV for everyone, their reduced ticket prices of £36 are still ridiculous.

They should still be able to fill the place, the others in the top 4 would regardless of the opposition or price, but I wouldn't go either if I were a Chelsea fan.

 

[psycho_snake]

They were just showing the spurs vs arsenal highlights on tv again. No matter how many times i watch it, I cant stop laughing at berbatovs attempt to be a smartarse and try to dribble past toure! Dannern bents miss is also just as fuuny. They paid 16 million pounds for that.

 

[Mama Smurf]

I feel a bit for Berbatov there, that's exactly the sort of chance I'd screw up. When I have too long to think about things and choices, I always seem to mess up. I'm much better when I'm just reacting, or there's only really one choice.

 

[Cornballer]

That game could have very easily been 5-3 or something ridiculous like that. So many missed chances in each direction.

Its the same with most players really. There's loads of incidents where players are given so much time that they'll change their mind about what they'll do and they screw up a chance. The best thing is to stick to what you first think of doing. The more you think about it, the more you'll mess up.

When players are in that position though, they should always choose the easiest option. berbatov was just making things difficult for himself by trying to take one too many touches.. He had an open goal to shoot at with just one defender standing in his way. He should have just shot to one side of toure and it would have gone in.

 

[Mama Smurf]

Would it though?

Liverool-Porto is being DVR'd. Word.

All he had to do was a little chip or carry the ball in either direction and give it a decent strike. Goal.

West Ham's billionaire owner Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson will take a more hands-on role after Eggert Magnusson's decision to step down as executive chairman.

The shake-up is the next stage of West Ham's plan to break into the Premier League's top four, and includes moving the club to a new stadium.

Gudmundsson said: "It is vital we strengthen the senior team and build a management structure for the future."

Magnusson will stay on as non-executive chairman and keep his West Ham stake.

He said: "We have worked hard to create stability and optimism, but I feel the moment is right to stand back a little as we move into a new and exciting period."

Apparently Eggert's name wasn't quite Icelandic enough for the owners.

[Cornballer]

Trivia time! Which four players have suited up for both Sevilla and Arsenal? No cheating...

Answers are here.

 

[Shinobi]

I would've never guessed the other two guys.

Neutrals?

They can't even get Chelsea fans to go watch that nevermind "neutrals".

WE COST LESS THAN TWO DARREN BENTS
TWO DARREN BENTS
TWO DARREN BENTS

 

[Mama Smurf]

Spoiler

Reyes, Baptista, Almunia (guess)...ermm...Overmars?

 

[Mama Smurf]

I actually knew one of those had played for Sevilla, forgot he played for Arsenal though.

I've just put a £2 multiple bet on today's CL fixtures. As ever, I don't expect to win these things, it's just if I do I win like £500 and if I don't, it's only £2:

FC Porto v Liverpool
Marseille v Besiktas
Chelsea v Rosenborg
Schalke 04 v Valencia
Olympiakos v Lazio
Real Madrid v Werder Bremen
AC Milan v Benfica
Shakhtar Donetsk v Celtic

 

[DSWii60]

2/4 isn't bad. Should have got

Spoiler

Suker

aswell.

 

[Mama Smurf]

I got the Liverpool team right :O

 

[Lakitu]

No you didn't. Hyypia is playing and Agger isn't.

Plus you put Babel on the left and Pennant on the right, in actuality it's the other way round. But that's just being picky.

 

[Mama Smurf]

Really? Damn, I only saw it on screen for a second.

Hyypia instead of Agger? I hope Porto's forwards are slow.

 

[Steroyd]

Don't worry mama you'll get one someday.

Hyypia instead of Agger? I hope Porto's forwards are slow.

I hope so.

If you're in the UK and can see your TV from your computer, you can watch the other match here: http://www.itv.com/

 

[bean breath]

I love the champions league theme.

 

[psycho_snake]

Would it though?

:lol That made me so angry at the time.

Well you could. Now it says it's unavailable, which I thought might because they wouldn't show the football there or something, but ITV1 is still working and that's showing the Liverpool match.

 

[Wes]

I hate ITV coverage

 

[Mama Smurf]

....and now it's back again. Just ignore me.

 

[Ryck]

Hay Guys!

 

[Wes]

Liverpool shambolic at the back. :lol

 

[Wes]

Penalty already. Blimey.

Liverpool have started terribly.

 

[Mama Smurf]

And that's why you don't play Hyypia ahead of Agger.

 

[Steroyd]

Jesus Christ 4 penalties!

 

[Wes]

I want Porto to lose and go out early, then Villa can make a cheeky bid for their Right Back in January

 

[Steroyd]

Wow we're playing dreadfully thank god the referee is lame.

 

[Ikuu]

2-0 already, Celtic aren't looking so good tonight.

 

[Wes]

Where is that Benitez sky sports gif where he waves his arm along as his name appears?

Gimme!

 

[Wes]

But... Kuyt never scores.

Guess that's why Hyypia is playing haha

 

[Steroyd]

wut!?

 

[Mama Smurf]

I can't say Liverpool deserve that, but maybe this will settle them down.

 

[Frenck]

BREEEMEN!

16 min - Raul 1:0
17 min - Sanogo 1:1

EDIT:

fucked up the numbers, hard to see on sopcast

 

[Steroyd]

Finally put three passes together.

 

[Cornballer]

Milan up 1-0 on Benfica, as well.

 

[Mama Smurf]

:lol @ Chelsea

[Steroyd]

ROFLCOPTER CHELSEA!

 

[Cornballer]

:lol Rosenborg!!!

 

[Frenck]

[psycho_snake]

:lol @ Chelsea losing to rosenborg at home!

 

[Cornballer]

Milan just scored again.

 

[Steroyd]
