A bit pathetic. Don't they know footie fans will watch almost any live FTA game?

Mike.

ye and they could have just shown the game with no panel if they wanted.

I don't know what programmes will be on instead of it but you can be guaranteed the viewing figures would have been bigger for Porto v Schalke.

Can get a bit 'choppy' if it gets busy though

MIN2511

Ah Drogba, that was a good one though

JæKæ

Roma looking good, Aquilani just had an unbelievable shot off the bar-watch for it in the highlights.
As a Utd fan I wouldn't like to meet Roma in the next round, if they qualify

MIN2511

Anyone watching the Liverpool match


2nd goal-Lampard

Easy match


Actually Match over!

KdjaCL

Aquiliani playing well, game is odd tho both teams going for it, someone should roma they winning 2-1 unless they think they need an away goal.

They know that they can't concede one, so they're going for it. It's refreshing to see both of them going for it, no nervous tension from either team

Half watching Madrid vs Roma, nothing great.

The most average player to play at this level for this many seasons.

have to disagree, he been played out of position at 2 clubs now and it just doesnt suit him. Wenger wanted "the beast" when he was with Sevilla as it was a foil for everything him and Henry would have been devastating in any league.
With Real hes played a midfielder.

The guy is an out and out striker, you put him as a focal point of your attack and he scores, at Sevilla where he got the name "the beast" he was the focal point, 2 wingers 2 CMFs kanoute playing SS and baptista as a CF. Feed him the ball and he will score, he scored 38 goals in 63 games for them, mostly getting on the end of a cross or finsihing from a kanoute pass.

Missed the first half of the Roma match, glad nothing has happened. 2nd half should be really good though.

Yeah Aquilani's a class player. It's more or less a full strength Roma team tonight. 5 top class players in Aquilani, De Rossi, Perrotta, Mancini and Totti. Pity Chivu left them as he's much better than Juan imo.

other than of course wes brown.

think julio heard us nice free kick. still a waster mind.

Someone needs to text Romas manager about the away goal rule, they hit the bar again and were nearly caught on the break.....away.....to madrid

this is getting good

Pepe LeFrits

Baptista is no centre forward.

He played as an attacking midfielder in behind the strikers at Sevilla. He's hopeless at leading the line.

Who did he play behind? I read wikipedia earlier saw that chuckled and knew someone would post it, i went to 5 games in his last season there seemed to play up front for me. Damn you aer lingus for not flying there anymore!!!

tbh its not hard, all you need to is defend.

Reals defending tonight was shocking seriously Pats could defend better than both of those goals, free headers from set pieces and crosses. Any defender watching those 2 goals will cringe.

Porto-Schalke goes to extra time

d22ontour

Great performance by Roma.

eirebhoy

Raul was well offside for his goal tool. Roma to get Chelsea now in the next round and knock them out.

eZe^

Gutted about Madrid not getting through (never ever thought Id say that). Now that they are only in 1 competition they can concentrate solely on the league and no doubt win it... Also its a shame to only see 1 Spanish team represented in the last 8, not a fair reflection of La Liga imo and I can see the English media having a riot with that... They were absolutely terrible though, they didnt deserve to go through, but they havent deserved to get anything from loads of games this season..

4 English teams* against 1 Spanish team ?? The stats don't lie this season , the Spanish have not been strong enough.


* I still hope Inter will get a result but for some reason as much as i want then to , i can't see it happening.

Or fortunate enough in the draw.......

KdjaCL

Arse, 4 english teams have 4 good managers with fookin millions to spend, with the money on offer in the PL 4 english semi finalists should be expected.

real and sevilla simply could not defend, both teams have excuses Navarro injured for Sevilla and Ramos left, Real are just not very good at defending. Barca winging it , they got the handiest draw and their superiority showed vs a poor team.

Inter are doomed, no way they will score 3 vs pool. Unless PL teams get each other i would expect an all english final. As Roma Fenerbache etc: certainly wont trouble them.

A good manager and money and having more of it then everyone else will always win, look at the Pls dormant years they couldnt compete with italian and spanish wages now they can and they getting into a dominating position.

The 2005 year will be seen as the start of a period of domination a la 1977-1985 for English teams.

Mike.

Necronomicon

Glad Roma went through, fantastic performance. Not to mention Raul being a million miles offside for the equaliser.

We're gonna have to be wary of Vucinic too, he really made a difference.

My tip of the decade, foreign clubs to have their police beat the **** out of english fans and demand they be banned from europe again.

Seriously tho does any top 4 PL team fan not expect/(hope with some optimism for the fainthearted) their team in the final?


oh poll idea

Porto match looks like going to pens.

And Schalke through on pens
