Hey Atila, I called the United score correct - time for you to bow to the tipster extraordinaire! ;-)


Immediate reaction was "that's taken the fooking wind out of their sails... hehehe"


Two great games, but most impressed with Porto who were very refreshing. United seem not to have fitness when chasing the ball - thanks to all those teams earlier in season that didn't both coming out of own half.

Porto played really well and deserved their draw. It's evident that Utd are missing Hargreaves' energy and protection of the back four and his european experience, he was a major unsung factor in last years win. Expect another open game next week so still optimistic of going through, counter attack style will suit us better...


Will be interesting to see how Chelsea play tonight, Hiddinck reckons they will attack but can't see this happening, expect to see Chelsea try and man mark Gerrard out of the game...

United 2 Porto 2


Great result for me as I laid United @ 5/4 when they were 1/0 Down and Porto @ 7/4 at the same time.


I also laid 1/1 Score and Backed Over "3.5" Goals and did "Draw/Draw" on the "Half-Time/Full-Time" Market.


Full House...

I think United are paying the price for having a weak midfield especially now teams seem to have the confidence to play through United. I'd still expect United to reach semi final simply because they're jammy b'stards but it will certainly be entertaining next week..


But will tonight be entertaining? I reckon both teams will fancy their chances of getting a result in the 2nd leg if necessary so I'd think tonight will be a lot more flowing than on previous CL encounters. Gerrard and Torres will be closely patrolled so that should make space for others to exploit if they're up to the task... this could be the occasion when the much maligned Lucas finally delivers.

I predicted that score for Manu too!

I've had a pop at Adebayor before, but blimey what a goal. And so glad I switched to the Arsenal game at half time, a great deal more entertainment on offer.

Sorry for Man U, but I've a soft spot for Porto since seeing them at the Stadio Dragoa (losing to Inter as it happened, but great fans and atmosphere) so well done them, clearly doesn't hurt having a team full of Argies and Brasilians does it, no wonder Portugal are struggling to qualify for the world cup.

Barca were scary last night, admittedly they were 4 nil up at half time and didn't add to it it the second half but they were very scary. It could easily have been 10 nil.


Matthew 123's prediction for the Liverpool game was close wasn't it? Still I can't see beyond Barca for this trophy if they continue to play like they did last night. Messi is far and away the best player on the planet by some distance.

It's only half time and stranger things have happened. Fact is though, we were shit last night.


Rafa has finally found someone to play chess with. Hiddink got it spot on last night. They bossed midfield and Lucas had (another) nightmare. Thank god Mascherano is back for the return leg - we really missed him last night.


Some dodgy decisions from the linesman in terms of the hand ball and offside goal, but we still didn't do enough to win it.


Bollocks!

Well, when you have a quality player in your midfield you can do things like that...


If Liverpool want to have any chance whatsoever of overturning 3-1 deficit they need to make radical changes in formation and personel. Second leg, has to be 4-4-2. I'd put Gerrard on right flank (injury permitting) to pre-occupy Essien, then give Mascherano licence to play box to box through central midfield. I'd have Babel supporting Torres upfront, and Agger at centre half to dictate initial play.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
