How was Gomes?

Gomes is the reason Sppppppppurs are through.

Unfortunately not, even with a triple header every match day and a game on ITV4 we'd still have one team off TV if Everton remained in the competition. Just like when we could of had 5 English teams in the CL, Everton mess up allows normality to resume.

I meant specifically, the Everton old boys pundits/co commentators wont be so in demand since they tend to get an old boy from whatever club is playing as co commentator and one or two in the studio too. That bog brained Murphy that presents it is safe, as it Pat Nevin. The rest of the nameless faceless has-beens wont be seen again til next season.

Pompey 2-0 down

james didnt even move!

18:00 FC Schalke v Manchester City
20:05 Portsmouth v AC Milan

Be interesting to see how Portsmouth do vs Milan.. I wonder. Sometimes I just wonder.

Schalke 04: Neuer, Westermann, Rakitic, Bordon, Pander, Engelaar, Jones, Rafinha, Farfan, Altintop, Kuranyi.
Subs: Schober, Kobiashvili, Ernst, Asamoah, Howedes, Zambrano, Sanchez.

Man City: Hart, Richards, Kompany, Dunne, Garrido, Wright-Phillips, Hamann, Ireland, Vassell, Mwaruwari, Sturridge.
Subs: Schmeichel, Michael Ball, Jo, Evans, Ben-Haim, Berti, Logan.

Hughes doesn't mess about in Europe, no Brazillians just leave it to the Benjani-Porridge-Vassell masterclass

Jo Hara has scored for Spurs. No idea who got the assist though.

@ Dwarf

England > Germany

Benjani and Baros put their teams ahead.

Or does he

crikey Rafinha doesn't mind getting forward

GOMES CAUGHT THE BALL!!!

I will for the first time this season watch a Uefa cup match tonight...Pompey and Milan, come on football!

Portsmouth XI: James, Johnson, Kaboul, Distin, Belhadj, Little, Boupa Diop, Hughes, Traore, Kanu, Crouch

AC Milan XI: Dida, Zambrotta, Favalli, Senderos, Antonini, Gattuso, Emerson, Flamini, Kaka, Inzaghi, Shevchenko

Ronaldinho, Seedorf, Pirlo & Pato all on the bench if needed.

Wasn't sure Woodgate & Inzaghi would play (they both do), so I subbed in Bent & Torosidis. What a waste of space & points that Bent. Hope Torosidis makes up for him. Need a clean sheet+ from him.

Jonathan Obika's on.

'Arry's pulling a Wenger here

My cheap Galatasaray clean sheet got subbed off at half time


@lrd: it's strange, UEFA said he had scored, but livescore.com still have the game as 0-0.

Feyenoord:

-------------------Timmer----------------
Tiendalli-------Bahia------Hofland---De Cler
----------El Ahmadi---------Gio-----------
Wijnaldum----------Fer---------------Bruins
----------------ROY MAKAAY--------------

Depor:
Guardado & 10 clueless hoofers

1-3 for us Makaay 2 Wijnaldum & 1 own goal

-----
Olympiakos - Benfica 1-0
1' Galetti 1-0
PSG - Racing 1-0
5' Kezman 1-0

Same here

Marica opens the scoring against Sampdoria. Awful defending from the Italians who created an easy chance for Marica.

Which 2 Depor players do you guys have? I've Filipe & Guardado

Metalist scored

Strange team, Galatasary. Win 2-0 at Benfica, lose 1-0 at home



@Guzman:
I have none...wasn't sure whether they would rotate. Guardado is a good pick but not as reliable a goalscorer this year as he was last year. Has struck some form recently though, so it may work out.

Anyone got a link for Portsmouth-Milan?

I see that lots of people still have Huntelaar

stop spoiling the Channel Five thread with your non Channel Five based antics

2 clean sheets in a row for Gomes.
