Wonderful, wonderful.

Sorry Dan!

Right after the 3rd goal. That's a man on the edge.

Now I'm not one to say that a 3-1 deficit in the first leg of the CL 2nd round is insurmountable...

But yeah, Arsenal are fucked.

Wasn't that the Chelsea score after the first leg against Napoli?

Difference being, of course, is that your 1 was an away goal and you had the home leg to come. I wouldn't fancy any side to overturn this against Bayern.

...Congratulations, you have successfully interpreted the meaning of my post.

There's a guy my mate has just re-tweeted who put an accumulator on for the UCL this week and last with 8 exact scores winning him £1million if they all come off...so far he's got 6 exactly right and just needs tonight's to go his way to become a millionaire off a free bet

[Colly]

This is the point where he starts putting £100k each on other likely outcomes to cover it...

Milan lead!

...goodbye £1m for that guy.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

2-0.

Milan have been the better side and completely shut Barca out here. Gameplan executed to perfection.

[therockbox]

Pompey 2 - 0 Barcelona!

[Lineker]

Mental stat - before tonight, the last time Messi played for Barcelona and failed to score was November 3rd last year.

[Adam]

Cos that guy got 7 exact scores and actually had the right scoreline in the Milan game, just the wrong way round, Coral have said they'll fly him to the Nou Camp for the 2nd leg. That's awesome.

[Summers]

Yeah that's a great gesture.

[Dynamite]

Mental stat - before tonight, the last time Messi played for Barcelona and failed to score was November 3rd last year.

He didn't score in the last El Classico which finished 1-1 a couple weeks ago.

[9 to 5]

Mental stat - before tonight, the last time Messi played for Barcelona and failed to score was November 3rd last year.

As opposed to the 3rd November this year?

[MJB]

Phil Jones has been ruled out of tomorrow's game with an ankle injury

[Starvinho]

Big shoes to fill for whoever replaces him after his performance in Madrid. Knowing Fergie he'll probably choose Giggs...

Team I'd like to see is; De Gea, Rafael, Evans, Vidic, Evra, Welbeck, Carrick, Cleverley, Rooney, Kagawa, Van Persie
