Gutted for West Ham. Always had a soft spot for them for some reason, the thought of Stoke in Europe is pretty hilarious though.

The Pole and the quarter Pole combining well for Birmingham´s winner I see. Still think it was more Kosielny´s fault, Szczęsny clearly called for it (you could even hear it on the TV) and still Kosielny kept the leg dangling only to remove it in the last possible second.

And Palermo 2 men down now!

Which is strange considering he failed a medical for Stoke then went and signed for West Ham. Good player; too good for West Ham or Stoke. I rate him. Knew they wouldn´t miss Keane at all with Demba Ba in the side. Despite his height he isn´t that good of a target man, used to play off Ibisevic a lot at Hoffenheim. If they stick Piquionne or Cole up front with him then he'll cause problems every game. Would surprise me if they sign Keane on permanent basis as I can´t see him and Ba combining well.

Having Hitzlsperger back is huge for them

Robben yellow for a blatant dive inside the box, hate that cunt. Trying to cheat Bayern back into the game

It was a great header. I have never seen Ribery have a good game.. I don't doubt he's a good player but I must always catch his bad games. Dortmund have done well double teaming on Ribery and Robben this game. In turn Bayern haven´t done anything to exploit the space around them. Dortmund defend really well as an unit and keep the pressure up nonstop, you can see why they´ve only conceded 13 goals in 23 games before tonight.

hahaha Dortmund, close there. What a game this has been

Bayern 1 - Dortmund 2 after 18 minutes, crazy game

0-1 Barrios great counter

He was by a whisker (similar with Best when Robinson pulled him down when through in goal in the first half)

Bayern vs Dortmund starting in 10

injured in warm up

Marlon Harewood has signed for Barnsley (on loan)

Hugo Viana in the starting lineup for Braga vs Lech Poznan in the Europa league

1998 Newcastle 1 - Sheffield Wednesday 1 Don´t remember much of the game itself other than Paul Dalglish scored the goal, must have been quite noneventful and dull. Was still a memorable match as my stepfather at the time booked us the wrong tickets so we ended up sitting in the away end. So there I was proudly wearing my newly bought 9 Shearer shirt surrounded by the away fans, then a few mins into the game Dalglish scored and I leaped from my seat fists in the air and everything, can still remember the panic on my stepdad´s face as he frantically tried pulling me back to the seat with everyone giving us murderous eye stairs. Some nice police officer allowed us to change seats during the second half so at least I didn´t have to sit through the whole game in the away end.

There are a lot of great ones from the promotion season http://i51.tinypic.com/2ez3194.jpg http://i54.tinypic.com/fn95p4.jpg

Fortune having a stinker for WBA, wasted some good chances in this game. Dunno why Vela isn´t starting ahead of him.

Ah yea, remember before the Euro 2008 we were being linked with Arda Turan, Arshavin and the likes and Tottenham snatching Modric right in front of our eyes. We even beat Bolton 1-3(?) the opening day with Martins scoring from that overhead kick, really thought it would be our year edit: nvm... the bolton win was in sep 2007, got it mixed up
