Should be 2-2 again.

Good game this actually.

So, so shit.

That's now Inter and Cardiff this afternoon I've looked at and thought they'd probably get a winning goal, but didn't put money on. Know fine well when I do put money on it won't come off.

'ave it.

Yes?

Yep. Although the ball to Pilkington was a long ball, the opportunity only presented itself because before that they kept passing the ball and not just hoofing it up aimlessly.

Good thing for Sunderland that they compensate their hideous lack of attacking ability by having a solid defence.

Hope you've hedged broonale.

Subdued.

He's not so bad, though.

He's a wanker.

Which wankers are doing the draw?

Yep, both. Doubt bet365 will be delighted.

It's that whole bollocks about it only having to "overhang" the line. So the "bottom" of the ball can technically be outside. Pile of wank either way.

Victor Chandler seems like a right cunt on the adverts.

bet365 will be kicking themselves. Advertised at HT both Midson to score next, and 2-1 MK Dons.

Cheeky.

Feck.

Fuck, how close?

It's possibly a sad sign of the time spent on this forum that my initial reaction without properly reading your post was that, for some reason, you were saying Fellaini's name in the style of "fenlon pls", then realised this match has got nowt to do with Fellaini. Then I typed this.

If he's subdued or quiet against the very best teams (of which Madrid, Leverkusen and Arsenal weren't during those years, imo anyway), then no, he hasn't had any dominant standout CL campaigns from start to finish within the context of him being the greatest player ever. The only campaign you refer to is the 2010/11 one, where he did tear Madrid apart in the semi's, but then he was very limited against ManU in the final (same as a few years earlier) - shut out to a similar extent as Chelsea and Inter in previous seasons. His goal came out of frustration because he was struggling to get into the game, and the goal itself was a shot straight down the middle that should easily have been saved were it not Van der Saar on the verge of retirement (you can't honestly say that the goal wasn't attributable to poor keeping?). The point I'm making is that I think he struggled, just like in previous years, against an organised, high calibre team that had set out to mark him out of the game, and he didn't perform to anywhere near his all-time-great standards - and this is a recurring theme in the CL and for Argentina. He ran the show man.

Smith. Oh God.

And the square ball, Chelsea, at home to lower league side at home. As predictable as Arsenal/Man Utd's Champions League groups, are Chelsea's "fortunate" Cup draws.

Cheers Ray. 16/1 advertised at HT for Midson. I had a bang on that.
