[ZJ Penn]

Turns out Football Manager have got press conferences bang on.

Turns out Football Manager have got press conferences bang on.

A chor, criminally boring and repetetive?

Yeah, I guess they have.

[Lineker]

Red for Witsel.

[Monkey D. Lars]

I hate Ajax in the Dutch Competition but I'm afraid another Dutch club will be getting smashed in europe tonight.

Chelsea team: Cech, Ivanovic, Luiz, Terry, Cole, Ramires, Lampard, Schurrle, Mata, Oscar, Torres

Torres gets one good game under his belt and now he's done his knee in.

Substituted for Eto'o after only 10 minutes.

[stokeriño]

...And Ramires makes it 1-0.

[Blue Rosler]

Such a rookie. Lineker would've got at least 12 posts out of copy & pasting the line-ups.

[Cymbols]

Awful decision to send Brown off.

[Liam]

He kicked Neymar in the arm. Definite red.

[Colly]

Bit silly really, why give the ref the option?

[Liam]

Exactly. Not the most vicious, but you kicked out at someone malaciously. He had to go due to the nature of it, personally.

[Kaney]

Get in there Ozil!

[Kaney]

Fuck off Fabregas

[stokeriño]

Azpilicueta brought on to replace Oscar...

What with this and his curious cameo on the left wing at Spurs, I have to wonder whether Azpi is being slyly converted into (YES, ANOTHER) winger.

[Lineker]

Bale is out of the Copenhagen game.

[Starvinho]

United team: De Gea, Rafael, Smalling, Vidic, Evra, Valencia, Carrick, Cleverley, Fellaini, Welbeck, van Persie

Subs: Lindegaard, Jones, Giggs, Nani, Young, Kagawa, Hernandez

Rooney isn't in the squad, he's unwell apparently.

Elsewhere, 16 year old Youri Tielemans starts for Anderlecht becoming the youngest Belgian ever to feature in the CL, and the first player born in 1997 to play in the competition too. Makes me feel old.

Would happily take a draw. It's going to be a long night.
