    Is it me or does Manchester United feel like not advancing to the knockout round.......AGAIN!!!!
    I know they have one more game, but this is ridiculous. :mad:
    Maybe Ferguson should have rested his starters and played the second team or something. This is not how they wanted to go into Sunday's match against Chelski.

    The problem is we have no second team. We don't have a single person to even bring off the bench to change a game in our favor at the moment. Right now, our depth is non-existent.

    What a game by John Carew for Lyon ! This guy is a mystery : he was great last year from august to december, then was atrocious from january up until this saturday, where he played pretty good and then this tuesday, where he made a fool out of the future golden ball Fabio Cannavaro and was just incredible during the 90 minutes.

    Arsenal-HSV was 0-1 at the half, and I was mashing reload on my phone repeatedly while in class to check the score. Pretty happy with the result :cool:

    I'm happy Celtic won the game. I always liked Celtic,(ever since Bonner was their Goalie).
    Man U might not even get to the second round. :D

    I didn't get to watch the games and have stayed away from the results. I'll watch the tapes over the break.

    Wed., Nov. 22

    Bremen vs. Chelsea
    Levski vs. Barcelona
    Inter Milan vs. Sporting
    Spartak vs. Bayern
    Bordeaux vs. Galatasaray
    Liverpool vs. PSV
    Valencia vs. Olympiakos
    Shakhtar vs. Roma

    I just checked the tv listings to see which games are showing and apparently they are showing world series of poker :mad: :mad: :mad: Please tell me this is NOT true!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

    I set my VCR to record at 1:30 ESPN 2 and 4 PM Espn classic so at least I will get to watch Barca. I can't believe they would show poker over the CL...ugh.

    Barcelona v Werder Bremen (ESPN 2 @ 1:30 PM)
    Chelsea v Levski Sofia
    Bayern Munich v Inter Milan
    Sporting Lisbon v Spartak Moscow
    Galatasaray v Liverpool
    PSV Eindhoven v Bordeaux
    Olympiakos v Shakhtar Donetsk
    Roma v Valencia (ESPN Classic @ 4 PM)

    Big big game for Barcelona, must win or draw to advance to the knockout round. If they lose, they will be the first defending champions not to advance past the group stage. Ronaldinho and company will NOT let that happen (they better not!)

    Ronaldinho puts a free kick under the wall to give Barca a 1-0 lead after 14 minutes.

    They're currently on 9 points and need only a draw tomorrow to advance to the knockout stages.

    1-1 going into the half. United have to be careful about the counter attack. They're pushing so many people forward at times, it could come back to bite them in the ass. They still need to put the pressure on Benfica and score more goals. They can't play for the draw.
