Ive got an invite to an exec box to watch this. Still undecided whether to go. Could be a really good day. or not.

Big ask now but we're still in with a chance, Bennys equaliser could be massive for us.

God I wish you could give our half time team talk. Sure you'd rally the troops

Harry Kewell

What a great match and result. The only down side for me was that Xabis free kick didnt go in. Such a sweet strike that made Cech look a right fool. Derserved to go in.

They have 3 days to appeal. Assuming they do and its unsuccessful, it doesn't really give our fans much time to rearrange travel plans. Think this ban will come in after our trip to the Vicente Calderón.

UEFA has announced that Atlético Madrid have to close their ground, the Vicente Calderón Stadium for the next three Champions League matches. It comes after what UEFA considers to be the serious incidents seen in the ground before the game against Olympique de Marseille. The next three Champions League matches will have to be played at least 300 kms away from Madrid. It’s understood that Atlético Madrid are to appeal the sentence Madrid

Suggest you carry on drinking

Agree with this. Would much rather be nervous about a final we were playing in tonight, then sat here contemplating why we aren't.

I have been trying to avoid press coverage of tonights match quite successfully for the last few days. Despite this, I am getting more and more frustrated today with the fact that it should be us in Moscow. How on earth a professional footballer can not have the confidence to swing their weaker foot at a ball is beyond me.

Now that they appear to have lost the league, does anyone think they will just concentrate on the champions league ? It would be possibly to their advantage to rest many first teamers and throw the Everton game so that it puts pressure on us in the league and we are not in a position to rest players against Fulham and Birmingham.

Why are Chelsea playing Everton on the Thursday before the first leg and not on Sat/Sun ? Ironically if they win, they put us in a much stronger position to secure 4th place and therefore enabling a few players to be rested for the match against Fulham Nice to see that they have a Man U between the two legs.

Schalke 04 please.

I have been known to do this without totally thinking this through. Occasionally, when asked, I am unable to prove that this action was totally justified. Please accept my apologies. I really must get a life.

The draw starts (both quarter finals and semi finals) at 1pm UK time (2pm CET). Arsenal Manchester United Chelsea Barcelona Roma Schalke Fenerbahce Liverpool or Inter Milan

Week today (14th March)

Too late for the "extremely pi**ed" Hole dug now mate !!

I think Mr Snorky is generally feeling the strain of the last few matches. Tonights side, was pretty much a side that most of us would have been happy with at kick off. That said - I'm not a big fan of this rotation policy, where you can have a blinder of a game one week and still be dropped the following saturday so you are "fresh" come April/May. Whilst Istanbul was fantastic and our Manager has a certain class that is lacking in many other managers I am not one of these reds who just keep saying "in rafa we trust" because of 2005. We have a fantastic squad of players but they just dont seem to be performing at the moment for whatever reason. I do think players spend to much time and effort trying to do a specific task rather than just playing football. If you take Torres and Gerrard out of the team we are really short on players who pose a goal threat. Teams I dont care to mention in the premier league seem to offer a lot more threat on goal than we do. We need to concentrate on the next game and worry about the one after that when we get to it. I'm sure that we still have lots to play for this season and think there may be one or two alcohol based opinions flying around at the moment. A win on Sunday and we are well in with a league challenge (long way to go but at least we are still there). 3 wins in the ECL and we should be through.

Is was in A1 condition when I posted it

A booking for both Ronaldo and Scholes would be very nice
