More Champions League Matchday 4 Action!
I'm back in the office on Wednesday afternoon, consoling myself after a punishing night of politics, with a bit of Champions League footer. It's Citeh and Chelski up this afternoon. Citeh have under underwhelmed so far, but they have a chance today to put the Moscovites to the sword. Chelski have cruised it and should do well today away to Maribor. Join me from 2:45pm EST onward for all the usual LOB banter.

I'm joining proceedings a wee bit late after a spate of irritating students dropping by.
I'm settling in with Citeh v. CSKA this afternoon. Here's the team news:
Man City: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Demichelis, Clichy,
Jesus Navas, Toure, Fernando, Milner, Aguero, Jovetic.
Subs: Caballero, Sagna, Nasri, Dzeko, Mangala, Fernandinho, Boyata.
CSKA Moscow: Akinfeev, Mario Fernandes, Vasili Berezutski, Ignashevich, Shchennikov, Musa, Wernbloom, Eremenko, Natcho,
Dzagoev, Doumbia.
Subs: Chepchugov, Alexsei Berezutski, Nababkin, Efremov, Cauna, Milanov, Bazelyuk.
Blimey - CSKA have scored in the second minute!
That is an absurd goal to concede! Clichy was unlucky to concede a freekick wide on the right; Natcho clipped it in and Doumbia eluded the sleeping Toure to nod into the net from six yards!
GOAL! Yaya with an immediate response, curling in a great free kick.
This match is on fire!
1-1 inside the first ten minutes.
Cavani has fired PSG into the lead in Paris against Apoel.
In the Championship tonight, we've got the relegation dogfight between Fulham and Blackpool as well as Brentford away to Forest.
Lowly Blackpool have taken a quick lead at Fulham. Miller with the goal.
Oh - Citeh dodge a bullet there. Dumbeer was clean through again and just fired wide.
Brentford have gone 0-1 up through Toral in the Championship.
Diego Srna has fired Shakhtar into the lead against BATE Borisov.
Sporting are 1-0 up over Schalke.
A point here tonight would leave Citeh needing a lot from the last two matches. They desperately need a win tonight.
Schalke are back in it - an equalizer from Sarr straight away.
Desperate defending now by the Muskovites.
GOAL! The Ivorian Dumbeer has struck again!
More Keystone Kops defending there from Citeh, especially Moussa with a clearance straight to his opponent.
Citeh seem to be really suffering a CL hoodoo.
Lionel Messi has scored his customary goal in the CL tonight. Barca 0-1 up at Ajax.
Andy Gray has scored for Brentford to put them 0-2 up at Forest.
Citeh go in 1-2 down, and really up against it. What can they do to turn it around?
Nasri and Fernandinho about to enter the fray for the second half.
Scottie Parker has got one back for Fulham.
Shakhtar are 2-0 up now through Texeira.
Nearly broke there for Aguero who looks like the only bright spark. How has Dzeko not made it onto the pitch yet?
Brentford are 0-3 up through a penalty and are over the hills and far away now.
Chelski have conceded away to Maribor. Not a good night for the English clubs then.
Sporting have taken the lead again through Jefferson.
Bayern have scored a couple of quick goals and are now cruising it with Roma.
Citeh still battling for an equalizer which would take them off the foot of the table and give them some hope.

Matic has rescued a point for Chelski
Porto are 0-2 up against Bilbao.
Yaya now has a chance to level it again. Not this time.
Bloody hell - Yaya Toure has been sent off now!
Fernandinho already went off earlier so Citeh are down to nine men!
A quite wretched evening for Citeh comes to an end. They're not rooted to the bottom of the table, with virtually no chance of qualifying for the knock-out stages.
