1854: "Is sending in puns the best way to get my name on the website, or am I just clujing at straws?"

That one is winning, hands down.

[Baddar]

Yay. That's the start I wanted. Liverpool one up.

[Hobo]

KEANO

I celebrated too!

[Scott McFly]

Wow, that clearly meant a lot to him. Good for him, really happy he's off the mark.

[Anderson]

Keane and Berbatov both off the mark within 24 hours (ish)

[The Kraig]

Cluj 0-0 Chelsea at half-time. Cluj have had the better chances, I reckon Scolari might even replace Drogba with Anelka.

And for the puns department: I have such a raging Cluj right now.

Shakhtar are beating Barca 1-0 as well, and Anorthosis are beating Panathanaikos! It's a night for the underdogs! And Liverpool...

[Baddar]

So unless Chelsea get their act together, I'll be losing £13 tonight.

I haven't a Cluj how the game will end, but hopefully Drogba will produce a piece of magic.

EDIT - Fuck. Barca 1-0 down.

Cluj! They're going to be the Hull of CL

[Hobo]

100!

[The Kraig]

Well, Chelsea draw with Cluj, 0-0. And Drogba possibly seriously injured.

[Hobo]

Cluj for CL winners!

[Anderson]

Well, Chelsea draw with Cluj, 0-0. And Drogba possibly seriously injured.

Oh dear

[TheArsenal]

Come on Arsenal!!!

3-1 up after 21 minutes away to Fenerbahce - where Chelsea lost earlier this year.

[Scott McFly]

Shame they couldn't have stopped at 2-1 since that's what I backed them to win by. But a good away result for them if they can keep it up.

Man United 1-0 up against Celtic at half-time.

[TMM]

Wahey Ramsey! 5-2, that'll do thank you. Could've been anything like 10-5 in the end.

[Johnny Latino Heat]

Bwa-ha-ha-ha-haaaaa, thank God Porto lost again

[ZJ Penn]

Abou Diaby was an absolute beast tonight. Arsenal in Europe is absolutely fantastic to watch, especially when they go ahead early and the other team has to attack. Del Piero got goal of the night as far as I'm aware though.

What the hell were Celtic wearing today?

[Anderson]

What a night in the Champions League. 36 goals apparently equalling the record from God knows when...

[therockbox]

Javier Mascherano returns to Liverpool's starting line-up for tonight's Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid.

The diminutive midfielder comes into the side after missing Saturday's 3-2 win over Wigan and is one of the two changes made by boss Rafael Benitez.

Yossi Benayoun also returns to the starting line-up with Jermaine Pennant and Dirk Kuyt dropping to the bench.

The Liverpool team in full: Reina, Arbeloa, Dossena, Carragher, Agger, Mascherano, Alonso, Gerrard, Riera, Benayoun, Keane. Subs: Cavalieri, Lucas, Babel, Darby, Pennant, Kuyt, Aurelio.

Thought Babel and Lucas might start in place of Xabi and Keane, resting them ahead of the Chelsea game this weekend.

Still, no complaints about that really.

So I was at the Leeds game last night, was there a game on ITV? If not, which one is on tonight?
