Good afternoon, Bob. I should be around for the second half, but I'm not sure about the first half. I will try.
MOT!!!
crap on the Seagulls.
They're off from the Etihad.
Barca in all yellow start off with their typical Tiki Taka style.
Then a long ball cleared out by Kopmpany for a Barca corner taken typically short.
Masch with a typically naughty challenge and Jerko and typically mouthy to the ref.
Some Argie Bargy as Masch fouls Aguero just outside the box. Masch is begging for a card to match his jersey
An Argie tango as Di Michelis does well to block an effort from Messi.
A horrible back pass from Kompany that lands to Suarez, whose cross was headed out by Di Michelis then he shot wide from a narrow angle. Hart had it covered.
Derby County take the lead vs Charlton as do Hudders vs Reading and Wolves vs Fulham
GOAL !!! SUAREZ FIRES BARCA INTO THE LEAD. THIS ONE HAD BEEN COMING AS HE AND MESSI HAVE BEEN A HANDFUL FOR THE CITEH DEFENSE.
jUVE TAKE THE LEAD VS dORTMUND.
Dortmund tie it up in Turin.
Derby go two up vs Charlton as doe the Bees vs the Tangerines.Cardiff take the lead at Wigan in a really evil encounter. watford take the lead vs Rotherham.
Swindon take the lead vs Bradford City while two bad guys do as well: Preston vs Walsall and the Evil Blades at Rochdale.
Nearly a second for Barca as Suarez was put through and Hart rushed out top save at his feet.
Silva has a corner headed away by the first man.
Blackburn take the lead vs the Canaries/
Brighton take the lead vs Leeds. Sorry Bob.
Afternoon, MUR - I'm just back from my meeting and see that our old friend Suarez has stuck the knife in. Citeh behind in the home leg - not good.
Ipswich take the lead vs the Brummies.
Good afternoon.Sorry about the score at the South Coast
GOAL! Bloody hell - it's that man Suarez again - fantastic goal!
Messi and Suarez are tearing Citeh to shreds. They could have easily been three up.A deserved lead.
I missed it, but I will see it this evening
Messi did the damage weaving through the Citeh defense before unleashing Alba on the overlap. Suarez was patient in holding his run until the crucial moment and his finish was spot in off the post and home.
0-2!
UWS will n ot be pleased that Trannie have taken the lead at Fratton Park.
Bugger - yeah, I just noticed that we're behind to a Steve Baldock goal.
That sinks us down in the bottom half in 14th again.
You'd have to think that this score-line is going to be a deep hole for Citeh to dig out of.
Brilliant tackle there by Gerard Pique. Wow!
Big shout for a handball now against Pique but nothing doing.
Suarez goes down easily in the box. I think we've seen that before
Adomah has opened the scoring for Boro against Bolton.
I know you're curious, so here's the Leeds starting XI at Brighton:
Silvestri, Wootton, Bamba, Cooper, C. Taylor, Murphy, Cook, Sloth, Austin, Mowatt, Morison.
The bell just rang, so my last class just ended.
Thanks Bob. My day would not be complete without the Leeds lineup.
Dani Alves dribbled through and his effort skimmed off the top of the bar for what could have been a three goal lead.
Juve regain the lead as it's now 2-1 vs Dortmund.
Ter Steegen saves an effort from Nasri off a pass from Aguero
Decent hit there from Nasri but saved fairly easily by the Barca keeper.
wolves go two up vs the Cottagers
Into one minute of stoppage time.
Bristol City go two up at Donny as do Swindon vs Bradford
Half time in Manchester and you'll be delighted with that scoreline.
Not so happy with us being 0-1 down in Brighton. Hoping for better in the second half.
Barca are two up at the half in cruise control with one foot already in the quarters.
I agree.
COME ON YOU WHITES!
A quick start for Citeh in the second half. They need to get back into this one straight away.
Oh - Dzeko had a free header but put it straight at the keeper.
Free kick for Barca now. Messi behind it.
Cheers, mate - thanks for the encouragement. I'll take a point today.
Back for the second half.
The yellow Barca jerseys are symbolic of the fact that they have sliced through Citeh like a knife through butter
Ipswich go two up vs the Brummies while Wolves are three up vs Fulham
Inches wide by AGuero. The closest Citeh have come to scoring
A friendly nudge by Kompany on Messi. No free kick. A corner instead. Barca surprisingly take it short.
Jerko wins a corner off of Pique. The corner is headed away
Citeh win a free kick off a high boot from Iniesta
The goals are flying in in the Championship now:
Brum have got a goal back at Ipswich.
Watford are now 3-0 up and flying at Rotherham.
And Brentford are also 3-0 up at woeful Blackpool.
Clichy booked for tripping Rakitic and suspended for the away leg. Does it really matter?
Hudders are now 2-0 up at Reading.
We need a goal - come on, you Whites!
Not a Big Club take the lead at the Evil Lions in another evil Championship match
A quick goal back was crucial for Citeh - and they didn't get it. Looks ominous for them now.
Barnsley take the lead at Scunny in a Yorkshire Derby
I suppose that in that battle of evil, I'd prefer to see Millwall lose and they're relegation threatened right now.
Fernandinho on for Nasri. I guess Pelligrini is conceding and trying to prevent any injuries.
Aguero wins a corner off of Pique.
The corner is headed away
Wow - the bottom six clubs in the Championship are all losing!
A Lions loss would be beneficial
Actually the only two clubs not losing in the bottom half of the Championship are Cardiff and....Brighton. Bugger!
Donny pull one back vs Bristol City as do Bradford at Swindon. 2-1 in both matches.
Bugger, bugger, bugger! Brighton have scored another. Doesn't look good.
The Evil Blades go two up at Rochdale. Bob will not be pleased.
Sorry Bob.
COME ON YOU WHITES
Ipswich have gone 3-1 up.
Cardiff lead at Wigan in another evil encounter as Malky is losing to his former club. That result should help you.
Another great stop from Pique, bailing out Masch.
Tranny go two up at Fratton Park, to the dismay of UWS.
Boni is on for Jerko for a CL debut.
Citeh's new striker Wilfried Boni replaces Jerko.
I think Barca won 0-2 here last season. A repeat?
GOAL !!! AGUERO PULLS ONE BACK FOR CITEH! A PASS FROM KOMPANY WAS PULLED BY SILVA AND AGUERO STEPPED IN FRONT OF BONI TO SHOOT PAST TER STEEGEN
GOAL! Aguero nips in and tucks home a first goal back.
1-2!
Suarez is flagged offside.
OH!!! Barca nearly restore a two goal lead as Suarez heads inches wide. Now he's down supposedly injured. Sound familiar?
Jeremy Mathieu is on for Ivan Rakitic.
Jeremy Mathieu to replace Rakitic. Shoring up the lead now.
The pass to Aguero was from Fernandinho, not Kompany.
Citeh have got some momentum behind them now.
The Canaries tie it up Ewood Park
Bristol City now lead 1-3 at Donny
Oh dear - Clichy has got himself sent off for two yellows.
Clumsy and misstimed - not sure he has any argument.
Citeh are up against as Clichy is sent of for a second bookable offense as he clumsily fouled Dani ALves.
Cam Jerome has got a goal back for promotion hopefuls Norwich at Blackburn.
It's hard to see Citeh coming back a man down against the possession masters. They can play keep away with their one man advantage,
Adriano is on for Dani Alves in a Brazi swap.
Superb slide tackle by Zaba on Jordi Alba to prevent a Barca goal
Oh - great tackle by Zaba to rob Jordi Alba at just the crucial moment. Nearly a third there for Barca.
Momentum lost now as Barca are just playing keep away.
Oh - Hart just about tips over from Messi. Barca are threatening now.
Sagna on for Silva as it's damage limitation for Citeh
Why on earth is Pellegrini hauling off Silva and putting Sagna on now? He needs goals!
Not a Big Club go two up at the Evil Lions in what Bob must be thinking as the lesser of the two evils.
Rochdale pull one back vs the Evil Blades as they trail 1-2.
Hudders have increased their lead - 3-0 now. A popular scoreline in the Championship today.
Pedro on now for Neymar.
Pedro Rodriguez on for Neymar as the replay showed Dani Alves none too pleased about being subbed as he kicked some water bottles.
The Terriers ride the crazy rails says Ozzie.
Biscuits and DiMi are getting a schoolmaster's talking to now.
A comeback on? The Brummies score again to pull it back to 3-2 at Portman Road.
With Norwich still losing, Brentford are back up in the top six slots.
Davis has got another back for Brum. 3-2 at Portman Road now.
Suarez would do well to shut it.Every decision will not go his way
Isn't Norwich tied at Ewood Park.
UWS will be happy to see that Pompey have got one back against Tranny.
Redders has made all of his substitutions, with Cani, Antenucci and Doukara all on now. Come on, you Whites! Time for the come-back!
Pompey pull one back vs Tranny as they trail 1-2 at Fratton Park. UWS has tickets for Desmond.
How much time remaining at the South Coast?
You're right - it is 1-1. But with them dropping points, the Bees are taking full advantage.
Wahey! Millwall are 0-3 down now!
Adriano booked for an American Football style block on Aguero.
Now Fernando is booked.
Fernando picks up a late yellow for hauling down Suarez.
Messi is put through ,but has a goal disallowed for offside.
Into stoppage time.
Oh - great finish from Messi - but he's ruled offside.
Into three minutes of stoppage time
Kompany brings down Pique about thirty yards otu
Not sure why Citeh paid all that money for Boni - he looks really static. They're already got Dzeko to satisfy the statue category.
PENALTY BARCA AS HE IS ON THE WRONG END OF aRGIE BARGY , BRINGING DOWN NESSI
Oh dear - Zaba has given away a penalty late in the day. This could be curtains for Citeh.
HART SAVES THE PENALTY FROM MESSI, WHO HEADS HIS REBOUND WIDE.
Messi to take now....
Hart saves!!!!!
And Messi puts the follow-up header wide!
That's it as barca win 1-2 at the Etihad.
And that's full-time - Hart has kept his side in this tie with that save.
Brentford are 4-0 up at Blackpool now.
Some late goals as the Canries have come fromn behind to leaD 1-2 AT eWOOD pARK AND THEIR eAST aNGLIAN RIVALS, iPSWICH NOW LEAD THE bRUMMIES 4-2.
Full-time at Brighton - 2-0 Seagulls unfortunately.
That leaves us on 41 points from 33 matches. 9 points to get from the remaining 13 matches.
WAY HAY!!! A late comeback by Pompey who were two down late to Tranny , but now lead 3-2. UWS will be delighted.
I'm off home, mate. Nice chatting with you today. I'll look for you again tomorrow.
Sorry Bob.
Cheers mate. It was great chatting with you . Have a safe trip home
Cambridge have drawn 0-0 with the Real Dons.
That's it for me. I will check the finals later. 'Cheers!
