I'm back too, Murray! For how long? who knows?

The second leg should be one week after. It's ridiculous waiting 3 weeks.

I think United could possible go through now, Arsenal I expect to be slaughtered.

Arsenal will be a massacre.

Ill settle for a respectable 3-1 defeat over the 2 legs

Arsenal will KO Bayern. You heard it here first!

I kind of feel like we'll get slaughtered but then again it wouldn't surprise me to see us go through as has been the nature of our season thus far.

Celtic-Juve should be an intriguing tie tonight though.

Boring ass game much like Barça vs. Chelsea last year. Only one team on the pitch with the other being a parasite hoping to get lucky.

Valencia vs. PSG

No it won't.

Expect Celtic to park the bus and hope for a 0-0

While you may be right about Juve being a parasite in general, I think you are being a bit harsh on them "hoping to get lucky"... this ain't Serie A, they can't count on the refs here - so they will have to play a lil bit

Looks like a case of sour grapes for Inter fans, for not being in the CL! Probably won't be, the next year as well
And if nothing better than the usual rant of refereeing etc.

I was only trying to defend Juve from Puro's vicious, unprovoked attack

Loving the Juve-Inter rivalry.

In recent laughs...Ferguson has said in Spain that the Real Madrid vs. the club of the devil is more spectacle than Barça vs. the club of the devil.

His asshole's still burning from the world humiliation he took -TWICE- from Barcelona utterly destroying him in CL Finals.

To give that c**t some credit, the games against Barça were soooooooooooooooo lopsided and thus hopefully the game against Real Madrid has the look of a more even contest, more "spectacle" as he chose to call it.

His asshole's still burning!!!!

It's Celtic who are the parasite, not Juve.

STEP BACK!

IT'S CAPTAIN LITERAL

That's quietened things down in Glasgow! Juve take an early lead.

I don't like Celtic.

I can see the commentary doing my head in more than normal tonight.

Awful defending anyway. Nigerian chap looked all over the place.

Lawlll

Yep. That penalty appeal - "he's elbowed him in the head!" - was certainly an optimistic shout!

WOW! PSG go in front with an unbelievable move by Lavezzi.

I noticed that the parasites conceded an early goal to Juventus.

I may just watch the Juve game since the parasites are now forced to play some football.

Valencia vs. PSG is a cracking game, mind you.

I'm torn!

Yep, that was literally the moment.


And just now "referee here, laying down the law..... But he's got to apply it!"

Agreed! They could have the games start at different times. For instance the game in Glasgow start at 12:45pm EST and the game in Valencia at the usual 2:45pm kick-off.

The same with tomorrow's games, the game in Donetsk start early and then the game in Madrid.

c**ts!

Townsend thinks Hooper should be allowed to barge the keeper.

Bizarre isn't it. Like he's only got eyes for the ball..

I'm also tired of that minnow style of football that whenever there's a corner, there's a talentless hoofer whose sole intention is to block the goalie. He's not there to attempt to head the ball or position himself to catch a lucky rebound. He's just there like a fucking nuance to the game!

If I'm the goalie I tell my defender to get the fuck out and warn the ref to keep an eye on the talentless hoofer impeding my movements in the 6 yard box. Case close! Get the fuck out of here you TALENTLESS HOOFER!

Much to the chagrin of dear Bluenine the ref seems to have done a good job so far! No favours to Juve yet

Juve have been too cautious, if they really go for it they can finish the tie tonight
