Decent effort from Aiden there. Open enough game so far. Chelsea pushing on but Spartak are excellent on the break. Keeping it scoreless at the other end might be the concern though.
Have to still suffer the pain of Houghton co-commentating. “He should have done this, should have done that”
I must have missed the part where he was a top top player himself.
Youtube hero misses a one on one with Casillas
While he is an annoying cunt as a commentator he did score winning goals in major finals against England and Italy as well as being a key part of possibly the best Liverpool team of all time, so yes he was a top player.
40 minutes of classic Zlatan so far. He cant control the ball, he can’t tackle, he can’t track back, he can’t stay onside, he can’t finish. What a player.
On holidays it seems. His attendance on The Last Word was fair at best too.
EAMON Dunphy has dismissed speculation that he has quit Newstalk after being conspicuously absent from his Sunday morning slot.
Speaking to the Sunday Tribune yesterday, Dunphy said he had just arrived back from France where he was working on a book but that his “loose arrangement” with the station meant he would not be on the airwaves every week.
“I am doing the show next Sunday [7 November] and I haven’t quit, no,” he said.
“I was in France until last night but I am still working with Newstalk. It’s a loose arrangement.”
Rumours began to circulate that Dunphy may have packed it in after being absent for the last three weeks.
However, the popular sporting and current affairs pundit said that the show was likely to feature other guest hosts from time to time.
Dunphy has already taken two months off this year – during the summer, after only seven weeks at the helm of The Dunphy Show, during which time Irish Daily Star editor Ger Colleran filled in as presenter.
More recently historian Diarmaid Ferriter has acted as stand-in on the show. Dunphy was staying in France to work on his memoirs.
Of all 24 shows aired so far, Dunphy has only presented 12, and despite the regular change of hosts, it has continued to register a rising audience.
JNLR figures released last Friday show that the programme drew 10,000 more listeners than last June, with an average of 50,000 tuning in every Sunday morning.
Despite this, the programme has not managed to snatch any of its rivals’ listeners, as figures show RTé presenter Marian Finucane has seen a rise of 32,000 listeners to 365,000.
Newstalk also has reason to celebrate after a 7% increase in listenership for George Hook, while an extra
8,000 are now tuning into Seán Moncrieff.
On 6 November, Hook will begin presenting a new Saturday-morning show from 10 to 12am focusing on news from the week and advice on money issues.
It is understood the show will also feature an agony aunt section entitled “Dear George” where listeners will be invited to send their personal dilemmas to the presenter.
Meanwhile, JNLR figures show that listeners are deserting the majority of the big-name broadcasters.
RTé suffered losses on its Drivetime (229,000) and Morning Ireland (426,000) programmes, while the Pat Kenny (320,000) and Joe Duffy (396,000) shows also suffered losses.
Remember, all he needs is one moment for a youtube clip.
ibrahinovic is shite… i wouldnt let him wipe eto’os arse…
Excellent game in Milan. Real Madrid are playing excellently and are deservedly ahead overall. Milan had a good spell after Madrid’s earlier dominance and Zlatan has been very good. Casillas made an excellent one on one from him, albeit Zlatan was coming in from an extremely narrow angle, after he had initiated the breakaway by typically tracking back into midfield and winning the ball back. Mourinho has Di Maria playing some great stuff in both an attacking and defensive sense and Higuain finished the goal expertly.
No need whatsoever for the 'keeper to come charging out there. Nice finish by Anelka but he made it easy for him - he was going wide and the keeper should have left it for his defenders to funnel back and deal with.
Tidy finish there from Anelka after a quick move from Chelsea. Keeper shouldn’t have left his line to cover that angle though probably.
Big ask for Spartak now unless Chelsea continue to push forward as often as they were. They kept the ball quite well in the first half but on;y really looked threatening on the counter attack.
McGeady getting booed by the Chelsea fans here. Wonder will the FA complain to UEFA or is their outrage reserved for English clubs overseas?
Drogba’s scored from the spot and Marseille are now http://www.nhsdesigns.com/images/exercises/graphic_photoshop_7up-logo.jpg in Zilina.
The old man scores for AC. Inzaghi. 1-1.
Superb assist for Zlatan there; he did Casillas with his eyes and made a fool out of him. Inzaghi was there to nod home.
BOOM! Inzaghi again! Mile offside.
Ah here, how did the linesman get wrong?
Absolutely scandalous.
Inzaghi is a legend. Zlatan is giving an exhibition of hold up play and close control here. Plenty of You Tube material in his second half performance anyway. 
Stone wall offside there from Inzaghi.
But Houghton the clown said it was offside once the ball went in. As if the linesman put the flag up or something. Not that he thought it was offside, but it was offside.
OMFG what a great night to be an Italian
all we need now is for zlatan to score & its the holy trinity of footballers that are most loved on here will have scored for Italian teams tonight
I love you Pippo, I love you Totti
Forza Italia
