Champions League - Matchday 3 Live
It's Matchday 3 in the Champions League this week and there are some really tasty match-ups. Live on Fox Sports 1 is Barca v. Milan. I'm opting to watch high-flying Arsenal at home to Dortmund, though. It's been thrilling to watch the Gunners in this kind of form. Can they keep it up against the powerful Germans? We'll see next. Join me if you're loafing at work today, gents.

It's Arsene's 64th birthday today - will his lads give him a nice present?
Blimey - that didn't take long. Chelski are in the lead against Schalke after only and it's that man of mystery Fernando Torres with a backpost strike.
0-1!
GOAL! Dortmund strike first blood and it's well deserved.
Aaron Ramsey's been in great form recently but he was caught in possession there and Mkhitaryan took full advantage.
0-1!
Robinho has fired Milan into the lead against Barca in the 10th minute.
I had Celtic/Ajax on Fox Sports Ohio but the Reds have the nerve to name a new manager today and they had to cut to it. Blasted.
So I've got Barcelona/Milan on now.
No score at Celtic Park.
Afternoon, Someone. Sorry to hear that . 0-0 at Celtic Park so far.
Some dude named Messi just leveled the score for Barcelona.
Leo Messi has fired in an equalizer for Barca in Milan.
Wilshere was through there and had some clash with the keeper. Looks as if he's got a knock.
After their last month of brilliant performances, Arsenal look a bit out of sorts tonight.
Going to be tough to get a road goal at Dortmund. Still anyone's match in Glasgow. Both teams have blown their chances.
Oh - Rosicky fires a shot that either hits the post or is cleared off the line by Hummels - or a bit of both.
GOAL! Olivier Giroud puts Arsenal back in business right on the stroke of half-time.
1-1!
Sagna sent a lovely ball through and Schmelzer made a mess of the clearance. Easy volleyed finish for the Frenchman.
And the Emirates faithful are giving him the "Hey Jude" treatment.
Forrest scores for Celtic!!!
Would have liked to have seen that instead of the twitter feed.
Half-time then and I'm off to work.
Forrest scored on a penalty, Stokes fell easily in the box.
Good luck at work.
Good afternoon Bob and Someone. I am here for the second half of the action.
So far so good for Celtic vs Ajax
Reds presser is over so I can watch the second half of Celtic. Missed the penalty, was it a soft call? It seems the road fans are rioting in their seats.
Hello Someone. I did not see the first half, so I am not certain about that.
A surprise in League One as leaders, Orient, are losing 1-0 at Coventry. Young Fergie are being held 0-0 at home by the Evil Blades and trail Orient on goal difference.
I looked legit, but Stokes milked it.
Meanwhile Celtic up 2-0 off a defender on a shot by Kayal. They're singing loud in Celtic Park!
Atletico Madrid are now three up at Austria Vienna Sausage.
Great for Celtic.I hope that helps them in the standings.
The group favorites , Milan and Barca are drawing 1-1 in the San Siro. That puts Celtic third in the group, an EL spot.
Confidentially Celtic are fighting for the UEFA parachute.
Pompey vs Wycombe Wanderers has been abandoned in the second half with the score at 1-1.
Correct Someone. That was my understanding since Baraca and Milan are in the group. A win would put them well on their way towards that
Chelsea have just gone two up at Schalke.
Coventry have gone two up vs Orient and wolves have just done the same vs Oldham.
Torres has scored both Chelsea goals! It's a miracle!
Preston have just taken a 2-1 lead vs Bradford City
Hartlepool now lead the Real Dons 2-1. Jeff will be pleased.
Richard Burton Albion has just taken the lead vs Fawlty Towers
It's now Desmond at Preston.
Coventry now three up vs Orient. A horrible night for the League One leaders.
Bad news for the Gunners as despite a pesky ad that I cannot remove, I did see enough to see that Dortmund have taken the lead thanks to a headed goal. They now lead 1-2 at The EM
Who else, but Lewandowski , as he scores a vital headed goal.
Hartlepool now lead the Real Dons 3-1 and Jeff must be dancing.
Steuaea Bucharest tie it up late vs Basle Brush, BOOM BOOM. In the same group, Chelsea are now three up at Schalke. Meanwhile, Marseille score vs Napoli, but trail 1-2 vs Raffa's lads.
Into stoppage time at The EM as Hazard scored the third Chelsea goal.
One minute of stoppage time played. Two remaining at The EM.
Entering stoppage time at Celtic Park. Celtic down to ten men as Biton was given a ridiculous straight red on a little contact tackle.
It's over at The EM as Dortmund win 1-2.
Celtic got a ridiculous red vs Barca too. Some of these UEFA refs are really picky.
Orient have scored a consolation goal at Coventry as they trail 3-1.
Young Fergie have been held 0-0 by the Evil Blades. Brentford have take a late 1-2 lead at Bristol City
Ajax with a late goal, but it's all over 2-1 Celtic!
Chelsea win 0-3 at Schalke. while Steaua have drawn 1-1 with Basle Brush. BOOM BOOM. Chelsea are well on their way to booking a place in the knockout stages.
Congratulations, Someone. A great result for Celtic.
Milan have drawn 1- 1 with Barca in the San Siro.
Napoli have won 1-2 in Marseille. despite those results, Arsenal still lead their group, but they would have had a more emphatic lead had they defeated Dortmnd.
It was great chatting. I am off to complete a few tasks before I go home. Have a great rest of the day.
Enjoy your evening.
