Champions League - The End of the Groups
If yesterday was an anti-climax, today's Champions League action will be a dead bore. Coming into this last gameday, all four last groups have been sorted and the only thing to play for is first or second place and some advantage in terms of seeding.
ManYoo host Aalborg while Arsenal travel to Porto today.
If you're not asleep, join me on the blog. I'll be blogging from the office so expect some long pauses on the feed.

trying hard to care.... just cant.
Will be back and forth as work permits and if I can get a stream up. We have altered the way the internet works here and thus half the file streaming apps I use no longer work....
Cheers, Simon. I just got finished with my office hours so I'm just tuning in myself.
ManYoo took an early lead through Carlos Tevez but have just been pegged back to 1-1 with a goal by Jacobsen from a free kick.
Celtic are 1-0 up over Villareal.
Bayern have jumped out to a 2-0 lead through goals by Klose and Ribery. Who else?
Other scores:
Kiev 1 Fener 0
Real 1 Zenit 0
Klose has added a third for Bayern. They'll finish top with Lyon in second. Fiorentina and Steau still battling for the UEFA cup slot in Group F.
Villareal are down to ten men at Celtic Park. They'll hope that United can rouse themselves to defeat Aalborg in the second half to have any chance of claiming the UEFA Cup slot.
Porto have taken the lead over Arsenal through Bruno Alves.
Oh dear, the Danish champions have pounced on Gibson's poor backpass and poked another in.
1-2 Aalborg.
Fergie's decision to go with the B team tonight is starting to look a bit naive.
McGeady has added a second goal against Villareal but it may all be for nought as Aalborg are leading at Old Trafford.
Not surprisingly, Fergie is starting the second half with two changes - Scholes and Park going on for old man Giggs and O'Shea.
Just back from painful office meeting and seeing all the scores. The Arsenal feed I had going seems to have died in my absence too - damn internet police must have got the hoster.
United are losing 2-1 at home - snigger.
United are level after Rooney bursts through with a trademark run and sharp shot into the bottom corner.
2-2!
Arsenal now down 2-0... game over there and second looms - pls draw Panathanaikos...
Lyon 1-3 Munich
Anderson has been United's best player by far tonight.
Where's our resident Red Devil?
Real are now 3-0 up. Raul with two goal and Van Horseyface with the other.
Porto have added a second goal against Arsenal. I haven't seen the line-ups there but I suspect that Arsene played the kids tonight.
Beyond the obvious Panathinaikos, who else would you like Arsenal to draw, Simon? And who would you most want to avoid?
In Group F action, Lyon are mounting an almighty resurgence. It's 2-3 now, with Karim Benzema on the scoresheet.
Fiorentina have taken the lead away to Steau.
Barcelona are the hardest team to draw right now, any of the rest are difficult but Barcelona right now are the most frightening....
The Neviller was nearly in there.
Hey Bob, I am here just as the Neviller misses a glorious chance!
Celtic are doing us a favor but they don't have a chance for a UEFA Cup spot because of them losing to Aalborg last match day
I'm not sure I'd want to see Bayern or Inter bearing down on me either. But yeah, Barca do seem frightening.
Are Arsenal going to finish second?
I've just switched over to the Arsenal link to see what's happening in Portugal. As I suspected, Jack Wilshere is the first Gunner to pop up on the screen.
Welcome, Dave. Yes, it does seem that Arsenal will finish second on 11 points with Porto leapfrogging them to 12 points, unless they can come up with two goals in a hurry.
which link did you use
Free kick chance here for the Arse....
Vela to take...
No it was RVP in the end hitting it left footed straight at the keeper.
I'm on the last one - Katernik (GR). It's in Portuguese but the picture's pretty good.
RVP is there? I thought he didnt travel - we started with a B plus side - no Fab/Nasri/Cliche/RVP/Adebayor/Sagna...
It was so bad we played Bendther up front with Vela behind.
PS) Dont mind Inter but we cant get them I think as they came second!
That would really make not many choices in the next round.
Chelsea, Arsenal and Villareal will not be possible
So it could be Bayern, Real/Juve, Inter, Sporting, Atheleto
Not too easy
TEV misses a great chance
into 3 added minutes at OT
I could be wrong but it certainly looked like him from the way that he sets up for a left-footed shot. Is he a travel-phobic like Bergkamp?
Do you agree
2131: "I'm not upset by Arsenal's position in the group, I'm upset by how bad they have played YET AGAIN!"
rockin van p on 606
I suppose that Sporting is your best option, Davey? Or Athletico?
me too
It's all over in Porto proving once again Alan Hansen's adage that "you win nought with kids."
That's it.
Well done Aalborg.
Still win the group
Not too worried about how we played, a disjointed side at a place where English clubs often get beat in a match where the outcome was effectively meaningless. If we are rewarded with pana this will be a great result :)
I hope United get Maurinho and inter.
Non League Kettering 2 Notts County 1 in the FA Cup

Group E:
1. United
2. Villareal
3. Aalborg
4. Celtic
Group F:
