Champions League - Gameday 4 Live!
I'm a wee bit tardy getting to this afternoon's festivities after a late night last night with the poll. But I'm here to follow ManYoo v. Braga, as well as the other CL matches, this afternoon. Do drop in for a cuppa, won't you? Cheers!

Cagey opening period here in Portugal. United really don't need much in this match.
Two opening goals at Stamford Bridge tonight. Torres opened the scoring at the 6th minute. And Willian has equalized on the 9th minute. 1-1 at the Bridge.
Marchisi has opened the scoring for Juve against Nordsjaell, whoever the hell they are.
And Schweins has opened the scoring for Bayern against Lille.
Smalling has a problem here and will need some treatment.
I am home at the 20 min. mark
I see Torres gave Chelsea the lead after 6 minutes but were pegged back 3 minutes later
Hope Smalling is okay
Galatasaray is leading at Cluj
off the post by Braga.. knock it off
CELTIC TAKE THE LEAD AGAINST BARCELONA!
They were leading the first game too
Oh - Elderson heads onto the post with Twilight prone! Close shave there for United.
Blackpool have stolen Pompey's manager Michael Appleton
Afternoon, UWS - how are you, mate?
Afternoon BD
Bayern and Juve are both 2-0 up now in their respective matches.
And Gala have taken the lead away to Cluj in your group.
Sad news out of Blighty today - Clive Dunn of "Dad's Army" fame died today at age 92. I'll probably put a post up tomorrow.
Crikey - Bayern are 4-0 up over Lille now. Robben and Pizarro with the third and fourth goals.
And Valencia are 1-0 up over BATE Borisov - Jonas with the goal there.
How sad
He looked 92 when he was in Dad's Army!!
I knew he was one of the youngest of the actors playing one of the oldest of the characters!
i have been in and out right now
Has United been hopeless?
No - they've been professional. They're not trying to push it very much, just occasionally looking to hit Chicha on the break. You don't need more than a point here.
2020:
CLOSE!
What a goal this would have been. Brilliant, one-touch, easy on the eye stuff - no, not Barcelona, Shakhtar Donetsk.
Fernandinho drives through the Chelsea defence, finds Luiz Adriano making a run in behind, he then flicks it into the path of Alex Teixeira who thumps a low shot inches beyond the far post. So close to a marvellous st
Looks like Anderson's got his Paddy Power pants on today.
Smalling marks his return with a book
Crowd and player caused that booking
Wallop - Bayern 5-0 up. Pizarro with a brace.
And Juve are 3-0 up. Is the CL group stage getting easier for the big clubs?
Celtic still leading on MSG+ against Barca but the Spanish have hit the woodwork a couple of times
COME ON UNITED.. win and win the group and forget about the CL until March!
Oscar gives Chelsea the lead again late in the half
Shakhtar had been dangerous
2025:
Shakhtar Donetsk are destroying Chelsea down their right - Ryan Bertrand is having a very testing time. But hang on...
This was posted just before Chelsea score
A win for Chelski would put them back in pole position in Group E.
Half time for United
nil nil
Looking forward to the indoor footie tourney this Sunday.
I suggested "Bayer Neverlosin" but it was rejected. We're "Too Old to Fail."
Half-time - 0-0; so far, so good, right?
Back in a tick.
15 goals in the 8 first halves
Sorry mate.. I love Bayer Neverosin... they just aren't smart enough
Celtic take their lead to half
A big mistake by Shakhatar's keeper for Oscar to score from miles out
Lovely to see the Spanish midgets punked by a typically British header off a corner.
Yeah - what are you gonna do with a bunch of Yanks. Still looking forward to the kickabout.
Looking at pictures of Clive Dunn. Pictures taken recently look just like his character on D. A.
He was 48 when he first took the part
Second half underway from the Em with Arsenal v United... wait.. it's Braga!
Just turned on link for Gillette Soccer Special
Oh dear - penalty for Braga. Jonny Evans gave it up.
Goal... 1-0 Braga
Chelsea fall from first to third
Bob... this United team is just not that good!
Nani with a ball hog shot deflected for a corner
Valencia three up
Corner cleared
I agree with sky... United can't just stroll through games!
Goal leading at Home Park to Burton
A very sick student just stopped by. I think I just picked up the plague from her.
United with a chance.. nice cross by Valencia but handballed by Welbeck at the bak post
Don't you hate that... you can feel yourself catching something!!
The other game in United's group is all tied up
Shakhtar hits the post!
THE LIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT IN PORTUGAL!!!
Shoot ROONEY!!
Not a good few minutes for the English. Citeh are just about knocked out. Chelski are looking rocky now. I suppose you lot and Arsenal are the safest to go through to the knock-out stages.
I do - I should have a hazmat suit on; my students are dropping like flies around here!
Lille on the road back... 5-1!
Benfica have taken the lead in Celtic's group against Moscow
Will this match be abandoned? That would suit United at this point.
BATE has scored in Valencia too.. 3-1 down
It means they would have to come back again!
It will be finished
Barca have had 76% of the possession... 29 minutes to go
My link is being really annoying right now.. lots of pausing!
Galataasary has retaken the lead
Tony Kross has added a sixth goal for Bayern.
Celtic were pushing but now they are just sitting back!
You'll never hold out!
Song with a foul.. fans want a second yellow... nothing
Commentators thinks he should have gotten a second yellow
A shocker from Alex Song who should have seen red there for sure. Celtic just trying to hang on now.
Teams are back on in bright lights
Rio is on for Evans
Away we go.. did they stop the clock or will it be 30 minutes of added time? No time on the screen yet
Lille hit for six... so much for the comeback
Again, United playing too slow!
They were off for 12 minutes.. still no clock.. I don't think sky or FSC know what to put on
Chelsea hit the post
Finally, the time is up and it was stopped when they went off
GET UP THE FIELD ROONEY
If it stays like this, Group H would look like this
United 9
Cluj 6
Gal 4
Braga 4
still comfortable.. I guess
Juve have hit number 4
Benfica two up
De Gea saves a free kick but spills it but United survive
Chelsea should have a pen.. not given
RVP coming on for Welly
FSC says that Brage would be on 6
It would be
United 9
Braga 6
Cluj 4
Gala 4
Still not bad
Gala are three up
TOO SLOW!!!!
I agree - you're pretty much coasting this group, regardless of this result.
Burton tie it up at Home Park
Celtic about ten minutes away from a famous victory that would put them right back in this group.
United keep the ball with boos all around.. don't make any progress... lose possession
Custodio tries to do some sweeping up. Boom boom!
Still 20 minutes for United to get something
Nani off for Rafa... not too positive
CELTIC SCORE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!
THE FANS ARE DOING THE POZNAN
5 minutes to go
Burton are now leading at Plymouth
Valencia 4 BATE 2
You can stick your tiki taka up your arse, you can stick your tiki taka up your arse. You can stick your tiki taka, stick your tiki taka, stick your tiki taka up your arse! La la la
I am watching Celtic and not United
Corner to United
COME ON!!!!
Corner cleared... United are clueless
Celtic were winning the first game!!
Goal.. Messi with the goal... after the 90th minute
4 added minutes
United are boring me silly.
Oh dear - here they come. Can the kilt wearers hang on?
Free kick for Celtic to the side of the Barca box... waste some time
91:30 gone
Shakhtar almost get the winner.. just wide
Barac clears and breaks
Under 2 to go
Surely not another late goal for Barca
GOAL! RVP from out of nowhere! Amazing scenes. A 'mare for Beto the goalkeeper there.
1-1!
I missed it but RVP SCORES FOR UNITED... NICE FINISH
What was the keeper thinking there. Made it easy for Van Persie there.
Still a minute to go
Barac want a free kick but it was a dive.. goal kick
Can't be much time left at Parkhead, eh?
Under 30 seconds
IT'S OVER!!!!!!!!!
First defeat in over three years in Group stages for Barca
WOW WOW WOW says the commentator
WELL DONE
WOW! Penalty to United. It was a late, late decision from the ref who was waiting for the linesman to flag. What a turnaround!
PENALTY!!!
The Hernandez has a chance saved. Rooney gets the rebound and brought down.... the ref takes forever to make the decision. The ball was already at half time
Fourth official calls it
ROONEY.. NETS IT
CHELSEA SCORE IN THE 93rd minute
Chelsea have won!
Victor Moses with the last second goal
And Roon converts. I'm surprised to see him taking it and he slipped a bit on the greasy top but it went in nonetheless.
Starting to look like an epic evening for the British.
Rooney's penalty was horrible... it hit his standing foot.
He wanted to go to the right.. the ball hits his standing foot and went the other end.. .top corner
Plymouth have lost at home to Burton Albion.. oh dear
Under two to go for United to escape with a victory and win the group
Don't concede United..... 90th minute
3 added minutes
GOAL
HERNANDEZ gets set up and has such an easy chance and blows it!! but scores again!!
3-1
GOAL! United are 1-3 up with a comical goal after a brilliant move!
He almost made a hash of it.. scores from his butt!
Chicha tried to walk it into the net there and was lucky to get two bites at the old cherry. Unbelievable. Braga fans in tears now.
Game over
United win 3-1

What a day of CL matches. Celtic defeat Barca in the biggest shock in years.Chelsea get a last second winner from Victor Moses in a match they never looked like winning and United not only clinch qualification to the knockout round, but have won their group with three late goals when it looked like they were heading for defeat.
