Match Day IV
Champions League time again.
Costa Del Pool are on the TV against their Spanish brothers from A. Madrid. I have Setanta Ireland on the computer following the Roma Chelski game at the scene of the Final in May.
Hope I have some company.

Both games about to get started. The CL anthem is being blasted at both stadiums
Bugger, my link just went kaput
Hiya, Dave! You just beat me to the post today. Looking forward to the action. I'm bunkered away in my office but I've got the door closed to avoid any annoying interruptions.
Which match is on ESPN2?
Roma get it started a few minutes before the Pool match. They go down and almost have a chance right away. Cleared
Costa almost get a chance from a first minute corner.
Was it a foul?
I've got a really good Setanta feed up for the Roma vs. Chelski.
Costa is on the TV
What are you watching?
me too
Roma have been absolute pants in Serie A this year; I expect Chelski to have an easy time today.
Did you vote yet?
I've got the Chelski up on the screen. I'm going to stick out the first half in the office and then bugger off home for the second half.
Yeah, I voted first thing - 6 a.m. I was number 17 in my polling place.
You're 'avin a laugh.
ESPN2 just said you can watch the CL on PPV.
NOT US!!! TRY P2P
Show off!!
I took the day off. I voted about 11
What are those bloody explosions in Rome? They said something about it but I missed it
Not much going on in the Olympic Stadium so far, just some early jockeying.
Well, I am a social studies educator. It wouldn't do for me not to vote.
Are there more Spanish in Costa's team than in the Athletico team?
Shot by Deco saved
Good shot, Deco. Well saved.
I knew you'd vote, just not at SIX!!!!!
Not much happening at Anfield either
The other group game in Chelski's group is tied at 1-1
Good question - I count four in the Pool side - Reina, Arbeloa, Aurelio and Alonso. And I think five in the Athletico side. They've got a bunch of Portugeezers in there as well.
Of course, Costa have a Spanish manager but A. Madrid don't
Well, I had to teach at 8 and I'm used to big lines in Florida. Here, it was in and out in five minutes. So I went home and had some breakfast after I voted.
We should be playing in the quarter finals of the Paint Trophy today, but alas another trophy slipped through our fingers.
Balotelli has given Inter the away lead against Famagusta.
Keane has a great shot and it looks like it goes in but it hit the post behind the goal and hits the net from behind. The whole stadium thought it was in
Sounds like Lou Macari is the color man for Chelski. Do you have the same?
I think that Lou is right - Roma don't seem to be that concerned about winning tonight and they need to!
Yeah, I'd love to have some of his fish and chips right now. I'm famished! (Hold the vinegar on mind, though, Lou)
You're wrong. Vinegar makes it!!
Bugger, my link just went
Uh oh, the Setanta feed packed it in. I've got another feed up but no Lou.
I just changed my link to Setanta US and a Veetle link.
It is crystal clear.
I downloaded Veetle the first day we used this site but it wasn't working for a while. I downloaded an updated version yesterday. Really clear
We'll have to agree to disagree on the vinegar question.
Mine still has Louie
You're wrong. Have you tried it on the fandC
What do you think - is Veetle safe to download at work?
Of course - I think it just makes it soggy.
I would think Veetle would be fine.
I have no problems twice at home
The commentator has just said that Totti looks a bit fat - what do you think?
NOt much happening in any of the games. Especially the two that I am watching
I don't think so
Who did Leeds lose to in the JPT
I'm doing it right now.
Long shot by Lamps saved
Rotherham.
Blimey, that is good! Really clear!
Brighton 0 Derby 1 in the League Cup.
It is the third round. Why are they playing tonight? What round is Leeds through to?
Marseille are one up against PSV
I agree, really clear
Keane should have done better.
He tried to round the keeper but failed
Deco picks up a yellow for a niggly foul. Totti really sold that one.
Deco in the book
Bloody Hell
Panucci scores for Roma!!
Pannucci! 1-0 Roma! What a disaster for Chelski.
Where was the Chelsea defense?
Rotherham are drawing nil nil with Leicester
We're through to the fourth round. I assume that that match is a replay from the 3rd round. Not sure when the fourth round will be played.
I'm also not sure when the Northern Section plays the Southern Section. It's a bit of a mystery.
Famagusta have equalized against Inter.
Struth... A. Madrid have scored in front of the Kop
Bruno Cheyroux - remember him? - has scored for Marseille against PSV.
Let me guess - Forlan?
Carling Cup Fourth Round is Tuesday and Wednesday
the 11th and 12th
Brighton/Derby host the mighty Leeds on Tuesday.
NO SCHOOL THAT DAY!! Veteran's Day. I still have college though
Looks like a trip to Pride Park
Derby are two up
Chelski are trying to stroll through this one and now they've got a match on their hands.
Maxi was the scorer for AM
Malouda has a shot that clears the Athletic track!!
Excellent - I'll be around for that one.
Is that the Argie - Maxi Rodriguez?
Hold on... Brighton have pulled one back. 1-2 after 36 minutes
Yes
I still like to think that Derby play at the Baseball Ground.
AND Brighton playing at the Goldstone Ground.
Bordeaux are now 1-2 up.
Penalty there? Bit of a wild lunge from Joey Cole. Not sure that he made any contact. Pizarro was looking for it.
Does it seem like there's the occasional burst of the CL anthem over the PA? Maybe my ears are playing tricks on me.
One minute of stoppage time at Anfield.
Useless play by the Romans
No ST at Rome
Not good for the English so far
Half-time: I'm gonna fly home and will join you on the other side.
Cheers!
I am going to get dressed for college.
I'll beat you
Inter score in the 45th minute to go up 2-1 but they get tied up before HT
If the scores stay the same, Chelsea's group is very close. 7 pts, to 6 to 6 to 4
Second half underway at Anfield
Chelsea making a substitution. Bellitti off for J. Cole and Drogs on for Malouda
I'm back!
Chelski are off as well
Do you have Veetle at home as well?
Beat you, I am dressed. Well, I have tied the tie yet!
Drogba's on for Chelski in the second half. Where's the chelskilad?
Down the Checkers or now the Walnut Tree
GOAL! Vucinic with a screamer - it's 2-0 Roma. Chelski in real trouble now.
Gordon Bennett
A hammer of a shot by Roma
TWO NIL!!!!
Oooh, ladi da with the tie. Who's the flash one, eh?
I always wear a tie
Yeah, he'll need to drown his sorrows if this score holds up.
I have technical difficulties with the Computer and now the TV!!
That's odd - the ESPN2 has gone to a test card. WTF?
Computer back but no the TV
Now they seem to be playing highlights of the first half again. WTF?
Have you got Veetle at home??
There it is - it's back. That was really odd.
Yeah, it's brill. I just wasn't sure that it was safe to download at work. I didn't want to crash my computer and have to explain why to some spotty tech guy.
Fernando's got a yummy girlfriend.
Stevie G gives himself a wedgie!!
Inter are now losing. What is going on?
I was thinking of applying for the Watford job. Do you want to be my assistant?
Good free kick opportunity for Pool here...
Gerrard swings it in and Agger sticks it into the top of the net.
Do we have to meet regularly with Fat Reg?
Just over the bar by Costa. Those type of free kicks are undefendable?
What Delap throw-ins? One of the big four are going to buy him just for the throw ins
Forlan should have shot there
3-0 Roma! Chelski haven't been tonked like this in ages.
Not sure how much Big Elton has to do with the club anymore
BLOODY HELL
THREE!!!!!!!!!!!
Come on - the long throw is the easiest thing in the world to defend. You know exactly what's coming. Arsenal's center backs are just hopeless.
Is this the beginning of the crash of the Roman Empire.
UNITED BEAT THESE GUYS SEVEN ONE
Did you see Stoke's second. Off the guys chest then nose and nutmegs the keeper
Riera's off for Babel.
Yeah, it was a comedy of errors. How do you let the ball bounce in the area from a long throw? That's criminal.
There goes that burst of the anthem again - I wonder what it is?
Well, are you on the way with me to Vicarage Road or are you happy at Fredonia
Agger should have done better there
Arsenal should have bought Philippe Mexes five years ago!
Why are they saying it was a stroll for Chels?
I didn't get that impression
I'm stayin in Fredonia. Watford are in the dumps these days.
Did you catch the trivia about Luton-Bournemouth match on Saturday? It's the first time that two sides on negative points have played in the league. Bournemouth are on -3 and Luton are still on -14!!!
It's more that Chelski were strolling through the first fifteen minutes, not that they were playing well.
Okay, we could become heroes!!!
Interesting fact there
Barca have taken the lead
Marseille are two up
Rotherham are two up against Leicester
I'm not sure that this result means that much to Chelski but Pool can't really afford to lose this one at home.
Luton could be the first side to finish the season on negative points!
I still think that Costa are okay
Ath M. will be on 10
Costa 78
PSV 3
Mars 3
They will be okay
Chelsea's is like I said before
7, 6, 6, 4
David Ngog - love that name!
Mars are three up against PSV
Sporting have taken the lead against Shakhtar
I am knackered. I'm going to need a nap if it's to be a late night election special.
3-1 Roma! Terry pulls one back. Game on!
Chelsea score, was it Kosher.
Is there time?
W. Bremen are losing at home by 2 to Pana
Finally the egregious Mascherano is coming on. I wish someone would wound that guy. He's rubbish. Lucas on for him.
Fifteen minutes for Chelsea to score two. If Spurs can do it - why not them?
That was a handball by Jamie C!!!
Looks like it is Pride Park
The Rams are three one up
Deco could have gone off for that one.
Meanwhile, the Spanish fans are having loads of fun at Anfield.
This game on TV is a typical Costa game this season.
They are struggling and they will probably score two quick ones late on
And now Deco is off!
Now Drogba is taking the free kick. Extraordinary. Chelski at least look interested for the first time tonight.
Deco is off.
It happened for way before it happened here. I must be delayed.
I missed it.
Deserved? Lou doesn't think so
Now Roma's baldy coach Spoletti has been booked.
Inter have tied it at 3
There goes the tune again. I wonder if it is when they make an announcement
John Arne Riise stripping off to come on.
Own goal time
Barca have been pegged back
Strange scores tonight.
Hope the same isn't tomorrow
Should have been four by DeRossi
Werder B are three down at home
I think you're right about the anthem. It's the tannoy. Not sure that Liverpool are going to pull this one out this time.
Roma should have scored again. Good save by Cech
I hope you're right but...
Not a good night for the English. I'm hoping for better from ManYoo and the Arsenal tomorrow.
You can say that again
Four minutes to be added in Liverpool
Polls are closing in less than half an hour now. You two are Obamamaniacs, right?
three to be added in Rome
We're not crazy about him at all but...
Polls close at 5? Where?
Oh my goodness - it's a penalty!
I DON'T BELIEVE IT!!! WHAT A DIVE BY STEVIE G!!
No way was that a pen. Foreigners are not the only that dive!!! CHEATER. DON'T COMPLAIN ABOUT RONALDO
TOLD YOU
Derby are four up
Costa do it again.
CHEATS
Chelsea lose
And Stevie G. dispatches it. 1-1!
You were right!
Sorry, I was looking at my VCR clock. I haven't reset it yet. They close in a couple of states at 6.
I better hear the panel complain about Stevie G DIVING
What did you think of the penalty call?
Yeah, pretty soft, I have to say.
It's over
Terrible decision by the ref. The English dive too
Full time - 1-1 - Liverpool dodged a bullet.
Who ever said that English players don't dive - it's just that the foreign players are better at it.
Yeah, I'm not so crazy about Obama either. I voted for Nader this time. I'd prefer Obama to McCain but Barack is safe in NY - 64% or so.
I am off to the college
Take care
Dave
Cheers, mate!
