UEFA Champions League 05/06, this is the thread for

We've covered Celtic upthread (to put it mildly); other faves who were knocked out:
Dynamo Kyiv, 2-3 on aggregate vs Thun of Switzerland
Trabzonspor, 2-3 on aggregate vs Anorthosis Famagusta of Cyprus

Hyypia's awful passing needs to be sorted out, how many times does he just feck the ball up the pitch to nobody? It's really irritating. Sissoko looks very good but there's still nobody creative enough in the team, they need a flair player really badly.

Momo was good though.

Artmedia Bratislava have made it to the group stage after a penalty shoot-out in Belgrade.

COME ON THUN

Well done Liverpool. You look just like the sort of team that will fluke your way to a Champions League title again.

(XPOST Artmedia Bratislava are the BEST TEAM IN THE WORLD!)

My dad is obsessed with sudoku.

(a-and is his hair less red than it used to be?!)

And, to be less girlie and actually talk about the football, Riise hasn't been playing at all recently though, has he?

oof nevermind

(may as well pass the time until passantino arrives to rip the piss out of me)

Still, 3-0, that's a thrashing innit?

Actually, has he not got a completely different face now? Those sidies are pathetic.

Did not watch Liverpool, preferring to wait for Rob Bonnet's precis this morning.

Little Michael to Everton? Given his love of Champions League football, a lot could depend on tonight's result.

newcastle if liverpool don't stump up the money

Defender Rio Ferdinand, who recently signed a new four-year deal at the club, was also asked if he had spent his pay rise yet.

As United arrived at Budapest airport, a United fan spotted David Gill:

Red: You’ve fucked us over big time there Gill. I can’t believe you’ve sold us out.

Gill: (looks perplexed, doesn’t know what to say. Enter Fergie)

Red: You’ve fucked us over too, you could’ve spoke out about it.

Fergie: I’ve got close mates who’ve been working with me here for 15 years. They come first in all this.

Red: So don’t the fans come first?

Fergie: Well I suppose they do come somewhere.

Red: You what? That’s well out of order.

Fergie: Well if you don’t like it go and watch Chelsea.

Red: The fans have been screwed right over. It costs me £20-odd a game now as it is.

Fergie: It costs more than that at Chelsea, go and watch them.

[Red storms off, and spots Ferdinand: "Oi you greedy cunt, how you spending your pay rise?"]

I hope Everton overturn the Yellow Subs tonight, but I don't think so. Big Dunc on from the start? Reckon it.

now woody's afflicted too, maybe its a contractual obligado eh

Yes, I am excited.

Footballer called Momo in 'being quite good' shocker.

anorthosis famagusta

I didn't notice Momo. I was rereading Perry Anderson on Eric Hobsbawm, with the TV on; maybe that's why?

I have always thought that Alonso was quite attractive and very talented.

LFC looked poor to me. But Hyppia looked like Rutger Hauer and actually OK, though I don't like RH. This is confusing.

I think Everton will go out of Europe. I hope they don't.

I saw Rob Bonnet too! He was talking about Owen's statement yesterday or something.

I didn't understand the Sisqo pun post.

I am listening to The Nightcrawlers' 'Little Black Egg'. It can hardly top the Primitives' take, can it?

: )

come on

anorthosis famagusta

Everton will surely stay in Europe regardless of tonight's result (UEFA Cup consolation?)
