Liverpool of course take a one-nil victory and a precious away goal with them back to Anfield tonight. Rafa has claimed that the Reds won't start out to defend that lead but who would blame them, eh?

3:09 PM

After a lot of searching, I've finally settled on an Adthe stream. They've got the Juve vs. Chelski one up from ITV 4, while Liverpool vs. Real seems to be on ITV 1 and there's a soap opera on at the moment. I'm hoping that their coverage will start at 3:30 EST.

Of the eight teams, Bayern are the only side virtually assured passage tonight. They take a four goal advantage from the away leg back home to Munchen with them.

3:30 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

My prediction for tonight:

Bayern, Chelsea, Liverpool and Villareal to progress to the quarters.

3:30 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Along with the CL matches today, there is a full slate of Championship and Division 1 and 2 matches, including Leeds hosting Yeovil at Elland Road.

Come on, you Whites!

Hi Bob

I have ESPN with Costa

I will tune in Chelsea

I think I agree with you about the winners

Good luck Leeds

3:42 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Wow, Real Madrid have never played at Anfield!!

3:44 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

The Adthe stream is up and running albeit in Spanish. I've got the sound muted on that while I'm still trying to get the stream for Chelsea up. The ITV 4 stream seems to have disappeared.

I'm unfortunately going to have to dash off in a few minutes to set up my exam and I'm hoping that I'll be able to watch it surreptitiously while their working. We'll see.

TYPICAL COSTA

There are only three Spanish on Real Madrid tonight and there are FOUR in the Costa line up

Blogger United We Stand said...

Hope to see you soon

3:48 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Torres almost in. Great turn and great save!

Free kick chance for Stevie G. He hits it low saved easily by Cassillas

3:53 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Real have their first chance. Headed wide from a free kick. Should have done better


Nedved down hurt in Turin

3:54 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Bayern score the first goal in Europe tonight.
Aren't they bored scoring against Sporting?

3:55 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Nedved looks really uncomfortable. He walked off but is touching his ribs. He is on his knees now in pain

3:56 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

He is back on but still looking dodgy

3:56 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Watford have taken the lead against Forest

3:59 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Nedved is finally off.
Not good news for the Italians

4:00 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

One nil to COSTA!
Useless defending. A long ball just bounces on, Kuyt cuts it to a wide open Torres

4:02 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Real needed to score two goals anyway tonight so ther task really hasn't changed

4:03 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Juventus have taken the lead against Chelski
Iaquinta with the goal. Game on!

4:05 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Liverpool almost score from a header by Skirtel

Juve have a shot saved by Cech

4:08 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Forest has tied it up

Costa are all over Real

Torres is brilliant. Get it all out tonight and be knackered for Saturday morning please

He sets up a chance for Gerrard. saved again

4:09 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Stevie G in the book for not a nice looking slide tackle

4:11 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Penalty to Costa
Handball in the box by Gabby Heinze

I don't think it was. Off the top of the shoulder

Gerrard to take it...two nil.. sent him the wrong way


Southend take the lead at Brighton

4:14 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

What a free kick by Schneider.. Saved

4:15 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I hope United do the same tomorrow to Inter that Costa are doing to Real.
THEY ARE ALL OVER THEM!!!

4:15 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I'm back - sounds as if Liverpool are home and dry. How about Chelski?

4:17 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

They don't seem to be creating much and are still losing 1-0

As for Costa, they have been brilliant

4:18 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Yeeessss! Beckford sticks in his 26th of the season on 25 minutes. We're 1-0 up.

4:19 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

They look like they are going to score every time they come forward

4:19 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

That goal has us up to fifth over Oldham who aren't playing tonight and Scunthorpe who are in a 0-0 dogfight with Peterboro.

4:20 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Well done.
I missed that one

4:20 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Bayern are now SEVEN UP against Sporting

Cambridge fall behind to Mansfield.

4:21 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Podolski scores another for Bayern. They've got to be bored with Sporting at this point.

4:23 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Millwall have taken the lead

4:24 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

3-0 Bayern! An own goal to add misery.

4:26 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Bayern are three up

UNCLE

4:26 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Real have a shot but it is hit right at Pepe

4:27 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Masherano is having a hissy fit!!
He is booked and out of the next game but he could been booked again for his outburst

NEWSFLASH!!
SPORTING HAS SCORED!!

4:29 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Free kick chance for Chelski... they have created nothing but have a chance from 25 yards out to the left of the goal... Drogs hits the post and it ends it up in Buffon's lap. Chelski think it went in!
AND MY LINK HAS DIED!

FOUR FOR BAYERN

4:31 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I lose my link and Chelski score.
Essien with the goal.
Not sure if the ball was in


Juventus now have to score two

4:32 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Half time at both games

I now have the ITV link working.
They seem to think it was a goal

4:33 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

We're back down to sixth with that Scunthorpe goal. I reckon a draw between them and Peterboro is probably the best result.

4:34 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Lovely jubbly! Neil Kilkenny with our second goal just before half time. A bit of comfort for us.

4:35 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Looking good for you

4:37 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

That goal was so big for Chelsea. They were losing and now Juve need to score THREE(two more)

Drogs free kick was in!

4:39 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Gerrard start off where the ended the first half
Costa are three up!!

4:49 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

This could be United Roma all over again

4:50 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Villareal score the goal they needed against Pana

4:53 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Into the second half now and Gerrard has scored a third for Liverpool. They're strolling it. Who would have thought that they'd have a 4-0 aggregate score against Real?! Rafa does seem to have a nose for Europe.

4:54 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

My computer link for Chelsea is going strong.
My TV just went out for the Costa game!

Cambridge tie it up with Mansfield.
They could be back in the league

4:54 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Looks as if my predictions are all coming up trumps then. No wonder I'm at the top of the Ronaldo the Score league. I am Nostradamus.

4:55 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Fifty minutes in and Yeovil have yet to get a shot off at us. Lovely. Long may it continue.

Cricket update

England score 545 and the Windies answer with 544
Last night and this morning England rush to 237 and now have the Windies 107 for 7 with about 15 overs to go. England need to win the match to tie the series

4:56 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Gerrard almost gets his hat-trick

4:56 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

At the bottom of the Championship, Norwich and Soton are drawing 0-0 with their respective opponents while Charlton are 0-1 up. Not a bad day for them then.

4:58 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Why would Ronaldo want to go to this lot!!!

Leeds score again... Beckford!

4:58 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Are the England side a bit better than they have been or are the Windies worse?

4:58 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Beckford with #27....! I'm doing a little dance of joy internally while my students are working away on their midterms.

4:59 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Pana have tied it up with Vllareal.
All square there

Norwich have taken the lead against high flying Cardiff

5:00 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Pana have evened things up. It would go to extra time there if it stayed the same.

5:00 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

A bit of both

Because he'd be paid a packet, he'd be the king of Madrid and he don't much like the black pudding, lad. Ecky thump!

5:01 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I am not liking tomorrow.
I am very nervous

It reminds me of Real in 2000. 0-0 in Spain but we lose at home.
We played Monaco or Marseilles in 98
0-0 in France and then we draw 1-1 and then our next match was at home to Arsenal and we lose that one too and lose the league.
We have Costa on Saturday!

5:04 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Bayern must have gone to sleep. They haven't added to their 9-1 aggregate lead yet in the second half.

5:05 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Stockport have taken the lead


Sotton have taken the lead too

Cech gets booked for handballing it outside the box right by the byline

5:05 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Nothing to be nervous about, lad. Inter were rubbish at the weekend and even if you lose to Costa on the weekend, you're still going to stroll the Championship. You should be worrying about United is going to capture the Ryder Cup.

5:06 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Beckford with his HAT-TRICK

Trez has a header saved by Cech

5:07 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Beckford with his hat-trick. There is no stopping him! 4-0! 4-0! 4-0! 4-0!

5:08 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I think they have a shot... Tiger will probably do his knee in again

I don't think we can win the America's Cup. Our chances are sunk....boom boom

5:09 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Juve are going to have to score soon or they're toast.

5:09 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

If you still Ruud, Fergie could enter him in the Grand National with Paul Scholes riding him.

Sorry, I can't stop meself.

5:10 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Even better - Peterboro have equalized! We're back up to fifth. If Jermaine can stay fit, we may just have a chance of sneaking into the playoffs.

5:12 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I have to be off to class now...good luck getting #5 tonight!

The guy sitting in the left hand row is cheating!!

Juve down to ten men



I am off

Cheerio

5:13 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Villareal have scored a second. That should do them.

5:15 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Cheers, mate! Talk to you tomorrow.

5:16 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Van Bommel has stuck in a fifth goal for Bayern. 10-1 on agg. there.

5:17 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

2-2 now between Juve and Chelski with a penalty from Del Piero met by a goal from Drogba. It's 2-3 on aggregate with only a few minutes left.

5:29 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Klose has added a penalty. 6-1 on the night; 11-1 on aggregate. Wow!

5:29 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Blimey - it seems that the ghost of Gerd Muller has popped up and scored a seventh for Bayern. 12-1 on agg now!

5:33 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Dossena has added to Real's misery. It's a 4-0 comprehensive drubbing for the Spanish who will definitely be licking some wounds. The English sides, if that's what you want to call them, are looking fairly invincible tonight.

5:35 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Peterboro now 2-1 up against Scunthorpe, who drop to 7th.

5:36 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Bayern have mercifully finished their rout. It ends 7-1 on the night (12-1 on aggregate). It sets down a marker but I have a feeling that it's a one-off. Bayern are the kind of side who, when they come up against a really rubbish defense like tonight, have the weapons to put some goals by you, but can they do it against quality oppo? Don't think so.

5:38 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

And Liverpool have finished a magnificent performance against Real Madrid. 4-0 on the night; 5-0 on aggregate. Wow!

5:39 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Villareal have completed their 1-2 win on the night; 2-3 on aggregate. They're safely through a tricky fixture.

5:40 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

And Chelski have wrapped it up against Juve. 2-2 on the night; 2-3 on aggregate for the Blues. So that's all my predictions in the bag.

Great night for the English - I'm hoping for more of the same tomorrow for the Arse and United.

5:41 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Finally, the mighty LUFC have finished a stonking 4-0 win which should do the Whites a lot of good in the confidence department. Same again at the weekend, please, lads!

Cheerio from me. Chatter with you tomorrow. Happy birthday again to the evergreen Sir Trev!
