UEFA Cup 5th Round Live!
I missed out on the Champions League action this week so I'm thoroughly looking forward to tucking into a bit of UEFA Cup stuff this afternoon. Our friends at FSC have favored us with Spurs vs. PSV live from Shite Fart Lane, so join me if you're around this afternoon.

In earlier action today, Bayern have mullered Anderlecht 0-5 away, so they're through.
Someone at FSC has let Max Bretos loose in the commentary box with Keith Costigan doing the color, so it'll be a long, long afternoon.
Here's one to ponder for you:
If Ledley King is a footballer, aren't we all footballers?
Honestly, think about it.
Spurs have got to be the ultimate Cup side. They haven't had a sniff at the championship since the Harold Nicholson days of the early sixties, but they've kept their fans happy with the occasional cup win.
Well, this has been fairly uninspiring stuff so far, with PSV dropping back and soaking up the Spurs pressure.
Is it possible that Jermaine Jenas's game has improved under Juande Ramos's tutelage or have I just had too much coffee today? I can't tell.
The scorers for Bayern tell the story:
Altintop 9
Toni 45
Podolski 57
Klose 67
Ribery 86
What a forward line!
Will wonders never cease - Bolton have taken the lead against Sporting Lisbon through a Gavin McCann strike. Did you ever think that bloody Bolton would be in the last sixteen of a European competition?
Liverpool old boy Cisse has given Marseille the lead against Zenit St. Petersburg, who I've never of before. Have any of you?
Dangerous free kick opportunity for PSV. Robbo has given up several free kick goals recently, so they'll fancy there chances. Robbo's leaving too much space to his left but it rockets off Jenas's bonce and out for a corner.
GOAL! PSV has snatched a precious away goal through Farfan. It was a terrible mix-up at the back with Spurs new boy Gilberto (not the Arsenal player) giving the ball away and Juande will not be best pleased.
A couple of good chances in succession for Steed Malbranque. Spurs piling on the pressure now as they know they'll need some goals.
Gilberto is having a mare of a debut. He's given away a goal, been booked at surely he'll be hauled off at the half. He's had a rascal.
Now Chimbonda has gone into the book. He used to look so good when he was at Wigan, but he's been rubbish at the Lane.
Half time: Not a pretty scoreline for Spurs fans. They may well have to rely on UEFA Cup qualification through winning the Carling.
Full time: I have to admit that, having got back to Gville at midnight last night, I simply fell asleep at half time. Spurs ended up 0-1 to the deficit and will have a mountain to climb in Rotterdam in a couple of weeks.
Here are the other results:
Bayer Leverkusen 1
Hamburg 0
Benfica 1
Getafe 2
Bolton 1
Sporting 1
Fiorentina 2
Everton 0
Marseille 3
Zenit St Petersburg 1
Rangers 2
Werder Bremen 0
