He Wished He Never Left!
Champions League play begins again after the winter hiatus. Join me as Becks plays against his beloved Reds.... why did he leave then???
There are only two games today in the CL and tomorrow
Milan vs Man Utd
Lyon vs Real Madrid
I know that Inter Chelsea can't be played at the same venue as the Milan United match only a day later.
Where is the other match
Don't forget Leeds vs Walsall

NEXT WEEK
Tuesday
Olympiakos Bordeaux
Stuttgart vs Barcelona
Wednesday
CSKA Moscow vs Sevilla
Inter vs Chelea
Interesting!
The second legs are on different weeks too
No love for UEFA?
Everton/Sporting Lisbon ;)
This is when I actually wake up and start paying attention to the CL. The group stage matches are a bore. Bring back the European Cup, I say!
Right - off the soap box now. Looking forward to this afternoon's matches.
Come on, you Whites!
Sorry I forgot Everton in the EUROPA LEAGUE!!
Horrible name... I just hope Everton win it and Costa don't!
Stoke vs Man Citeh in the Prem tonight as well
I am watching MUTV live on Channel 1 of VSS with Frank Stapleton
United have played 4 times in San Siro (against AC)
Four losses, 0 Goals 10 conceded!
Just pretend we are playing Inter!
The Everton v. Sporting Europa League match has kicked off.
Watching Everton on a lovely stream, it's in Danish but looks great!
Took advantage of a 1/2 price sale on their site and bought a jersey yesterday.
Cahill had a chance but the S.L. keeper had the angle.
Starting line up for the bad boys
Dida
Bonera
Nesta
T Silva
Antonini
BECKHAM
Pirlo
Ambrosinie
Pato
Ronaldinho
Huntelaar
GOOD GUYS
VDS
Evra
Rafa
Rio
Evans
Park
Fletcher
Carrick
Scholes
Nani
Rooney
Everton one up through their resident South African
Hair Bair Bunch is out for the season.... bad news there
Distin adds to Pienaar's first to take Everton into a 2 nil lead after 50 minutes
HBB is out because of the challenge during the Merseyside derby
That shirt purchase must have done the trick for the Toffees!
I'm watching that MUTV link off VSS. Great stuff - Pallister and Cole in the studio.
They're talking about Becks now, of course. I'm completely over the lad at this point. He should be getting ready for the MLS season, not phaffing about in the Champions League. And don't get me started on his inclusion in the England squad. I hope he's playing Real Salt Lake away in the middle of June.
I had the MUTV Link and the guy changes it right when I join... it's back
More tosh about Becks. I seriously hope he gets nobbled. I'm over him entirely after just having read Grant Wahl's "The Beckham Experiment." What a tosspot!
It is on Sky now
United's team is the same as the team that played at the Emirates except for Rio in for Wes
Great link on VSS
We're in trouble
Graham Souness thinks we are going to win!!
I hope United give Milan a true thumping tonight and that Evra gives Becks a right kicking.
Dodgy bandwidth today.
Distin makes it 2-0. Looking good despite the news on Fellaini.
Pienaar's goal was from a wonderful back pass from Cahill.
Cahill tweaked a leg, replaced by Yakubu.
I am nervous about tonight
United really never do well against Milan
CL Trophy making a US tour... it will be in Boston
The crowd give Becks a good round of applause
There is link... that hasn't started, on p2p for Gillette Soccer Special
Andy Gray in the San Siro... hope we get him on MSG Plus
Way hay! JB is back in the side after that brief injury spell. We'll need him for sure. I'd like to run up an early lead tonight to settle nerves. It looks like a full strength side. Gary McSheffrey hasn't really impressed yet but I'm willing to give him some time. I'd like to see Grella and Gradel on in the second half if we're needing goals.
Are you off work today? How come?
Yup, I have the whole week off for winter break. I do teach class tonight.
We are in a middle of our first snowstorm since mid December. We have quite a few inches right now
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U.... and Leeds
I would luv it if Scholesy goes straight through the back of him. Get in there, my son!
you're watching Sky?
Winter Break?! Must be nice!
Nice interview by Becks
Some bloke making to much noise in the background... shut the bloody door... muva
United to wearing Blue or white. Blue shorts and white socks showing. I know they can't wear red or black because of Milan
Yeah - I'm watching Sky. Ruud and Souness on the panel. Souness was just giving Ruud some guff about his miserable record at the Galaxy.
"he had a decent manager ..."
Classic
MSG Plus in HD for United.... LOVELY!
Why not just wear all white. There's nothing blue at all about United's colors - it's red, black and white.
Distin sent off for Everton while giving away a penalty
Sporting score
2-1
Gullit is a rubbish manager, but tbf he could easily say, "Well, it would have helped if Becks hadn't been buggering off to England every other week!"
That Sporting pen was in the 87th minute so that tie is nearly over. The away goal puts a different light on that second leg, though.
Gillette Soccer
http://www.justin.tv/wocky_jilson#r=4T1xzqE
Of course, he could have mentioned Souness' time at Costa, Rovers, Newcastle, Turkey
Touche!
All over at Goodison
2-1
Don Fabio in the crowd
Did Souness ever play in Italy? I have a faint memory of him in Juve colors or something. Sampdoria maybe? Something stripy anyway.
Yup, I know he played for Sampdoria
Wouldn't you be if you were Don Fabio? I hope he gets an up close and personal look at Scholesy crunching into Becks.
Full-time at Goodison - 2-1 Everton. Satisfied with that, Someone?
United in white... Teams about to come out of the tunnel.... MSG Plus still on commercial
San Siro looking good
MSG actually a second ahead of the computer
Here comes the teams
Ronaldinho licking his chops like a dog
What's Ronaldinho up to rolling his tongue about during the anthem like one of Jerry's Kids?
Nice one!
Why is Anderson "out of favor?"
He opened his mouth anti Fergie
Yes, MSG has Tyler and Gray!
Kick off time at Elland Road. Wish we were playing Milan. Ah well, Walsall it is. Come on!
HD and T AND G
Off we go
Really? He's lucky that he got away without a boot in the face.
Becks with his first chance to kick into the box... GOAL!!!
BUGGER!!!!
Deflected shot by Ronny from a Becks...
Becks with the first set piece oppo.
GOAL! Very jammy, but it counts. A wickedly deflected Ronaldinho shot after the Becks free kick.
1-0 Milan! Sorry mate.
United can't get any possession!
United really up against it here. They'll need to see off this early onslaught without further goals.
Come on United... get your finger out!!
Rafael - new haircut boy.
phew.. ronaldinho goes close again
United aren't in this
Oooh, Pato fed Ronny again and he could have hit it first time. The eventual shot saved easily by VDS.
A shot just wide from Luciano Becchio. Come on!
My soccer special link is slightly ahead of the TV and SKy link
Forest take the lead against Sheff Utd
Cardiff beating WBA
Ipswich take the lead at Peterboro
That was an elbow by Ronny
Ripped apart right now!!
Oooh, just wide again for Milan. Bloody Norah!
This is like against Juve... ripped apart in the first 11 minutes and two nil down... we won 3-2
United corner from Nani's cross. Here's a chance.
Dida muffed the cross but they survive.... bugger
Huddersfield 0-1 up at Carlisle. That inches them closer to the playoff spots.
My link has frozen. I'm trying to get it back up - that's what she said.
Useless cross by Nani... back to his old self
Mine too... boom boom btw
Roon is getting fed up with Nani
According to Dean Windass... all Leeds at the moment
United are playing hopelessly!
Useless by Fletcher.... horrible cross but still gets the ball back and then miscontrols!
Thank you, Dean!
Rio makes a mistake and Ronny takes on Rio and I swear he was fouled right on the edge of the box but not given!
Rio was very lucky!
Roon has a shot... finally... flashes just wide
Walsall's keeper is named Clayton Ince - any relation to the Guvnor?
Where's the beast Gatuso?
Just looked it up... nope he is from T and T
Fifteen minutes in at Elland Road - still 0-0. This seems like Saturday. We were all over them in the early stages and then we ended up nearly losing!
United are starting to put it together... a little
Unbelievably horrible cross from Nani again!!
He could have waited for the overlap but he kicks it straight out at the back post!
Carrick plays a one two with the ref!
Roon tries to take on a defender but gets beaten.
Kicks a guy in the head by accident
Studs then shin...yikes!
I'm finally up and running again on Atdhe just in time to see Roon tread on a Milan player's head.
Martin Tyler says that Milan haven't kept a clean sheet in 10 straight CL games
Jason Crowe with a header just wide. Not a sniff for JB yet.
That's good news then. You'd take a 2-1 at this point, to say nothing of a 1-1, which would put you in the driver's seat.
We need a goal.. I hate 1-0 or 0-0 for that matter
Now Snoddy's hit a header just wide. What is going on?!
United give the ball away HORRIBLY!!!
They survive a break
USELESS cross again for Nani!
Sadly, we need Giggs
United haven't lost away in the CL in three years!
Sadly, it was here
I'm frozen again, now on a picture of Paul Scholes. Not a pretty boy, btw.
I agree with you about Giggs, but stop calling me "Sadly."
Terrible header by Rio and Huntelaar gets a shot blocked
Not good scenes here at all!
Sorry Shirley
Blackpool's drummer is banging.. 1-0 against Boro
Evans messes up and it goes just wide
What is with United and the carelessness
United are VERY lucky only to be one down
Thankfully it is still 1-0... it shouldn't be
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!
PAUL SCHOLES SCORES GOALS!!
Did Becks cheer?
Half an hour in. The reports are that Leeds still have the edge on the match but still no goals to show for the dominance.
Wow - you're well ahead of my link. It still hasn't gone in yet.
Swing and a miss by Scholes but it hits his placement leg and goes in!!!
Wow - there it is. Scuffed a bit but he won't worry.
1-1 Game on!
Do you want me not to comment and ruin it for you?
We have been very lucky... including that goal
We're all over Walsall now, but we need a goal!
Colchester take the lead at Yeovil
Nah - go ahead. Ruin it all you want.
During practice last night, Scholes was megged by Neville. Gazza was rolling on the ground laughing.
Scholes wasn't impressed!
Sometimes if I get out my little black notebook/calendar where I keep track of the Leeds goalscorers, it gives us some luck. I'm also of course wearing the lucky Leeds shirt today. Full mojo going.
Have you got the Soccer Special going on the link I gave you earlier?
Bugger! Colchester have taken the lead. That's them up to 59 points now, two ahead of Charlton in third. I'm starting to worry about them.
No, I've got the United match going. I can only handle so much at the same time. It's supposed to be my office hours!
VDS with a nice save and cleared
United are still stinking it up in the back
Free kick chance for Milan very central
Becks? Pirlo?
Very dangerous
Looks like Becks...way over... well done David
Roon has been shown a yellow for his mouth!
Into added time in the first half... keep it tight
Half time at the San SIro
Very lucky to be level... I will take all the luck I can get
Off to clear the driveway after our first storm of the year
I am back!!
Boy do i have a long and wide driveway
Kathy said VDS had a good save.
United still not doing well
Real losing!
How about Leeds?
Ooh, Ipswich losing
Where's Bob?
Less than 30 to go
Rooney takes forever to shoot... saved
Valencia coming on for Nani
Who's shirt will Becks get after the match?
Still scoreless at Stoke... Citeh still not taking their chance to take a lead on Costa
It is 1-1 at Elland Road. Wonder which way the scoring went?
Leeds Time!!!
I've just come back from dealing with a pesky student and it's 1-1 at Elland Road.
Walsall scored first just after the interval and then Gary McSheffrey equalized with his first goal for the club on 54 minutes. Half an hour to go.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ROONEY!!!!!!!!!!!
Valencia's first touch of the ball and he puts in a brilliant cross for Rooney to head it back the way it came into the corner of the net
The question now is - do I take the lucky Leeds shirt off or keep it on? I don't know what to do!
Roon is on fire! I hope he does the same this summer. He could win us the World Cup singlehandedly.
Chance for Becks to put in a free kick... comes to nothing
COME ON UNITED!!
All you can here at San SIro
We shall not We shall not be moved!
United break and Roon gets a corner
We have hung on in this match and if we could get another we could win the tie!
Seedorf about to come on
Roon could have had a break and he kicks it straight out of play!
Milan have to attack... can you say Emirates
20 to go
Grella has come on for Becchio and Gradel for Snoddy. Those were the two I wanted on in the second half but I'm not sure that I'd have taken off both Snoddy and Becchio. Why not take Kilkenny off? We need to win this one!
Beckford hits another shot wide of the mark. He hasn't had his shooting boots on today, for sure.
Valencia looking dangerous on the right
Becks was the one to be replaced by Clarence Seedforf
Ooh, Roon hits one just wide1
I'll ask you again - should the shirt stay on or come off, mate?
Just in case the Elland Road faithful didn't hear me... it is Leeds Time
Stoke have taken the lead against Citeh
ROONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE ONE!!!
Cheers, mate!
Great pass by Fletcher and Rooney knocks it in
HE CAN'T STOP SCORING - THE BOY WONDER! I want eight goals from the boy in the World Cup.
What is with Costa... no one wants to take fourth spot from them
"One David Beckham" comes the chant from the United fans now he's safely off the pitch.
Let's beat Gerd Mueller and get 13
Here comes Inzaghi... I hate him
Wish Roon didn't get his yellow card
There's Kilkenny off finally, replaced by Jon Howson. Plenty of fire-power on the pitch.
Come on, you Whites! We need three points!
United were being steamrolled in the first half.
How did this happen??
The tannoy system sounds like an airport according to Matt
I love the CL being on FSC and MSG. We don't have to put up with Tommy Smith
You WILL get them... I have spoken
Keep it tight United
Fifteen minutes left at Elland Road. Now's the time!
And I'm off to class with the hope that I'll return at my class break to a win from the boys in White!
Best of luck Bob
I am off to class soon too
Dean says it is all Leeds
Come on United... both of them
Goal at Elland Road.... WALSALL scores!!
Oh No!
Valencia slashes a cross right across the box... just missed by Roon
Free kick chance for United with 8 minutes to go
Roon hits one just wide
COME ON LEEDS GET TWO GOALS IN THE LAST TEN MINUTES
Bugger... Seedorf with a back heal goal.. Made by Rony
Come on United!
Come on United... don't blow it!
Inzaghi hits one just over
KNOCK IT OFF UNITED
Ipswich are now 3-1 down
again... I am a nervous nellie!
Two to go and United are pinned back
Milan had nothing until that goal... the crowd were leaving
Citeh have tied it up
Sorenson hasn't had a safe to make but he lets one in
United have stopped going forward
STRUTH!!!
Milan get a chance inside the six yard box!
Blocked
Corner was won by two Milan players but hit wide
Into added time
Still don't know how much is added
Wes Brown coming on for Rafa
2 gone
Less than a minute
Carrick just got a second yellow for who knows what
And is now off!!
IT IS OVER!!!!
United win 3-2
What a bummer about Carrick!! Who knows what it was for!!
Well it was a win!!
Not good with the last second sending off.. there is no appeal either!
Ipswich have lost
Sadly, so has Leeds
Sorry mate
Don't worry.. Charlton can't win either
I am off to class
I will be around tomorrow
Take care
UWS
Thanks for your kind comments, Dave. It's another horrible day for us. We can't seem to buy a win these days after a terrific autumn campaign. Grayson's going to have to take some drastic measures for Saturday's match.
Well done, United!
Yeah, well done United. Man, I was choking in the 85th when I saw Inzhaghi clean through and the ball sitting up for him. What a miss.
It looked very hectic at the end. But 3 away goals in an away win? Very good business.
Sorry Bob. Hate to see this fade-out.
