I wasn’t aware that Champions League was back on TV3 until flicking through the channels just now.

Not sure what I’ll watch later yet. Anybody have any accumulators on the go?

United line up

---------Foster---------

Neville-Vidic-Evans- Evra

Anderson-Carrick- Scholes

Nani- Rooney-Valencia

Can be a 4-5-1 in when defending or a 4-3-3 when in attack.

I think Juve are a good price at 8/11 (Bet365) home to Bordeaux. They’ve started the season very well and Diego looks like he’s made the transition very well.

Might just do them on their own at that price to be honest. Only other temptation is Bayern at 1/2 but don’t know enough about their opponents to risk anything more than a small double.

Wolfsburg were beaten by an in-form Hamburg on Saturday. Their home record is still phenomonal but they haven’t settled this season yet and CSKA are going quite well in Russia. Still hard to back against Wolfsburg so just avoiding it.

what game are rtengland showing?

6

Sky Sports have some horrible cunts on tonight. I can’t stand Keys, that smarmy little git. Gullit is a smug sort too.

Andy Burton interviewing Ancelotti now. :rolleyes:

7

Diego’s out with a minor knock as far as I know, Rocko. Just about to check the lineups on uefa.com before putting some money down.

No game on RTE tonight, NCC. TV33333333 are showing Besiktas-Manchester United.

Fuck that. Still good enough I’d wager so I’ll stick with it*.

Yep, they’ve a good team out all right nonetheless. I’ve gone for them, Manchester United, Wolfsburg and Real Madrid.

Just goes to show the Europa League is where it’s at this year.

15

FC Zurich giving the mighty Galactico’s loads here and nearly scored just there. :smiley:

16

Anybody watching a decent game? I’m on my third game of the evening already with fook all happening in the first two I was viewing.

17

Goal for Madrid. A magnificent Ronaldo free-kick.

18

Just in time to see Ronaldo smash in a freekick. 'Keeper might have done better.

19

Andy Townsend looking a bit jaundice, should get that shit checked out.

Edit: he’s on Setanta actually

Inzaghi has put Milan one up too. What a record that guy has in Europe.
