    Ha! Well done. I started playing at 5 and continued into my teens until injuries and love of basketball pulled me away. After surgeries I have played year round for about the last 7 years in multiple leagues (and none of the over 30 types, either...which is probably why I am not playing now due to injury again. Proud much?). If only I knew a little more about football!

    In any event, when one team is not a threat I don't think it is a great match when I am not invested in either side. You are a supporter of the best team in the world right now. Why so sensitive. :(

    That's what makes the difference. When I watch games of teams I don't really care about who wins, it's simply less interesting, unless something spectacular happens.

    I'm not. If an objective observer reads the thread, they would have to conclude that you are, though (with all the unnecessary explanations of how long you have been playing, etc.) :). Glad you like football, though.

    You are the one who brought up longevity with the sport and questioned my football manhood! I was obliged to throw down my awesome bona fides. Or maybe I just find this completely pointless and nonsensical "argument" enjoyable? But really I tried to rep you for attempting to call out my ignorance because I respected it but I was told by an evil bot that I could not give you some right now.

    In other news, the bot seems to like you as it let me rep you ;)

    Should be an exciting close battle for the 1/2 and 3/4 spots in the EPL. Let's hope Arsenal slips and gets the 4th. And the whole LFC title contenders are silly... I wish the hyperactive media would chill out with that. We're 6 points behind a strong team.

    Time for United to overturn this 2-0 deficit

    If not, pressure on Moyes mounts.

    Nice to see them playing well finally...though it took Ferdinand and Giggs in the lineup to spark them. A fantastic comeback!

    Would love Chelsea to knock out Bayern again in the CL. Hope they get matched up.

    I don't know why Olympiakos didn't take their bus and park it in the back.

    They couldn't come up w/the money to get Mourinho to let them use the bus at Old Trafford.

    thats is a good thing that we didnt play so much defence,in the 2nd half we make united look like a small team,but de hea was unbeatable.

    I didn't get to see the game last night but pretty impressive for Man U even though Olympiakos is not a very strong side comparatively. Either way the winner was going to be the weakest left.

    At some point Chelsea v Bayern would be fun because of the Mourinho/Pep angle as well as Chelsea being strong defensively. But, of course, Bayern defensively is stronger than Chelsea offensively.

    I want PSG, RM, and Bayern to avoid each other for one more round.

    Moyes has his work cut out for him.

    It would be an upset to beat Bayern.

    Careful, DD...you don't want people to jump all over you for making such a crazy pronouncement! Over/under on Bayern hitting 10 on aggregate?

    Pretty decent draw overall, though.
