2011/12 UEFA Europa League

[Lineker]

1-0; Rooney.

[DavidMarrio]

Is this on Channel 5 or ITV 4?

[Lineker]

5.

[MDK]

Rooney with the sweaty goal.

[Adam]

I might hunt down David Pleat and throttle him. He banged on and on and on and on then about how the goalkeeper should have pushed it out wide instead of straight in front of him, all the while the slow-motion replays he is babbling over clearly show the ball hitting the keeper's wrist. Take no consideration for how fast the ball is actually travelling either will you Dave.

Moron.

[MDK]

You mean Graham Taylor? Or am I mistaken?

[Adam]

I turned it on as the game was kicking off so it probably is, I just assumed. Either way, the man is insufferable.

[MDK]

All these northerners sound the same

[Sam]

It's grim up North hence the dull accent

GOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LLORENTE!

Was always coming!

[Summers]

[DavidMarrio]

Get in Llorente!!!!!!!! Wish we had him Be interesting to see how San Jose does as well considering we had him and as we always do with promising youngsters we get, they end up going somewhere else.

[Adam]

Fernando Llorente

I was just thinking "ah he should have shot" but as I did that the person he laid it onto crossed it for Llorente to head in. Magnificent.

[Lineker]

Also, Munain is class.

[MDK]

Shit, I went to put something in the oven, what happened plz

[DavidMarrio]

Love how quiet the United fans are, Athletic making all the noise.

And yeh Muniain is an amazing young player. With players like Martinez, Llorente, Muniain can't see why they can't go on and win the competition.

Oh ermm Llorente held off the United players, played it onto the wing, Llorente ran in the box and headed it in.

[Thrilla]

Bilbao are looking very tasty at the minute, crazy to see how many of them are getting up to attack and back to defend, its like a 90 minute full court press.

Llorente left Phil Jones for dead on that header as well.

[Adam]

Can Dave Woods not pronounce Bilbao or something? Does he have to refer to them as "Athletic" every time? Chris Kamara has it right on Twitter, calling them Athletico Wigan and Athletico Oldham

Just seen it, nicely worked.

That was my first viewing of the Xanadu (or whatever ) goal for Sporting Lisbon earlier as well...terrific effort and I doubt many of the players over here would think to try that in the same position.
