I'm hoping that these Scunny fans have a cheery evening at the expense of Mad-Roy.
Afternoon blog fiends, let’s warm up for tomorrow’s Chelsea v Inter shindig, shall we? A test run on a day of some not-so desirable matches?
This afternoon there are two Champions League games, one Premier League fixture, one Europa league, two in the Colaship and nine matches in League One. I’ll be listening to Norwich v Southend while keeping an eye on Dirty Leeds v Oldham.
In the EPL, Manchester United play London Bongo at Old Trafford. Barcelona and Stuttgart go at it in the Champions League, as do Olympiakos and Bordeaux–ooo la la.
Fixtures after the jump. Don’t complain people–Any football is still football! GET IN!

Yoann Gourcuff and Yoan Gouffran playing together cracks me up. Gouffran is the CVS equivalent brand.
The excitement in this thread is palpable. It tastes like copper. Also I smell smoke.
please, Gouffran is at least Rite Aid
hey, this guy just switched his stream to the HD feed. Thanks, buddy!
“The Mexican Marquez” doesn’t sound quite right as far as ways to refer to players goes.
“Oh Jens, why can’t you be normal?”
The guy who sounds like GOB Bluth’s chicken impression, Cacau, just s**t his pants unmarked in the box.
Norwich switch to a 4 4 2 and make a coupla changes…CAMON!
Cacau f**kin’ it up
WHAT THE HELL MAXWELL IS WHITE?
Leicester 1 up at Donny.
NYK: That’s nothing compared to the time I was watching Madrid and the guy switched his stream to hardcore sex on the Spice channel.
jesus messi’s feet are quick
Port Vale scored 3 in 15 mins. Thats gonna be CARNAGE!
Europa League result. Benfica 4 Hertha Berlin 0
Marquez gets booked for pulling out of a challenge
VFB looking lively thus far, impressive.
CAH KOW!
Cacau atones for the s**t in his pants
Gorgeous cross. Valdes should have had it.
and now his HD feed is dead. Thanks, buddy. Ass.
Your starting striker for Barcelona, number nine, Anderson Varejao.
dear Ludovic Sane, Howard Webb does not approve of your absolutely s**te tackle
HOW DO YOU F**KING MISS THAT
whats going on in the Stuggart match?
this is awesome – I’m getting pop-up ads for Greek dating sites
Cacau had it in the box unmarked and scuffed the pass to his teammate. It was a 3 on 1.
still nil-nil, Georger?
Stuttgart 1-0 with run of play all over Barca. Should have had a penalty in there as well, if not for one of my least favorite rule interpretations. It’s #2 below.
1. (Any) Touch on the ball means there is no foul
2. It’s not a handball if the ball plays the arm too quickly.
It should be the player’s responsibility to control his arm. If the arm is away from the body, then the foul should be called. Yes, this means I would have awarded Chelsea a penalty last year against Barca. And I hate Chelsea.
can’t find any feeds…damn.
Pique’s arm was against his body though.
Looked a little away I thought. Plus it cupped the ball.
Oh, Jens. Lucky in a non-Fabianski way.
Dirty Rafa.
Always liked this Pogrebnyiak cat, thought he was the better of he and Pavs.
Crap; Foster’s playing today, which likely means Edwin at Wembley.
DAMN YOU, FERGUSON!!!!!
NY Kid–You should switch away from that snoozefest. This is cracking stuff in Stuttgart. Plus, you just know Jens is going to f**k something or someone up big time.
Barcelona really are at sixes and sevens at the back.
Move that made less sense:
1) Aliaksandr Hleb to Barca
or
2) Julian Faubert to Madrid
@u75 – how dare you suggest I turn away from my countrymen!
Yes, the French aren’t quitters.
/inaccurate cliche
NYK-If you want to watch the type of match that gives a**hole american sportswriters ammunition for soccer being a boring sport, go ahead. I’m watching the entertaining tie.
Comcast Sportsnet is showing Stuttgart/Barca live if anyone has that channel
This Stuttgart-Barcelona game is way better than I thought it was going to be.
I’m just watching for sideline shots of Laurent Blanc. He makes Pep Guardiola look like a hobo.
Ahh, Caroline Cheese is like a little kitten in her ADD-ness:
2026: It’s all about the keepers at the moment. Antonio Valencia turns onto his left foot and sees his shot beaten away by Rob Green. The ball comes back in whereupon Green keeps out Dimitar Berbatov’s flick with his feet. THERE’S A LITTLE MOUSE! It’s literally the smallest living thing I have ever seen. It’s probably going to get crushed quite soon… sorry about that, folks. Life hurts.
//ZOMG SHINY!
1-0 HT in Stuttgart. Honestly, they should have more and it will bite them in the second half.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Stoppage-time golazo for Les Girondins!
Fun fact about Anderson Varejao (since I saw him mentioned up there): He actually played basketball for FC Barcelona for two years.
that’s an away goal from Ciani, bitches!
“Resplendent HD”
Eat a dick ESPN halftime crew.
There is no f**king way Barca had 61 percent of possession.
Pretty sure Miles just called Stuttgart “Sevilla.”
@Georger – they are obviously playing Bayern Munich, then.
Well this tie is over.
Can someone send Jeff Gillooly a plane ticket to Manchester?
ooooooooh, goal from Zlatan
@PR – hasn’t Nancy Kerrigan suffered enough lately?
geez, even Paul Scholes thinks that was a bad tackle
Avram Papadopoulos?
He’s a Greek Jew that took in Webster as a foster child?
That’s Mister Papageorgio’s room sir.
I don’t get it – where is everyone today?
Christian Ledesma off for Olympiakos. In general the Greek side don’t look to be of the same physical quality as Bordeaux
Lehman’s typical blunder just showed up right on time.
Sane just took a big dive, and the only reason that Webb didn’t give him a YC is because he already has 1
I really enjoy the fact that the website ad on this stream sits directly over the time/score – it’s like a big surprise
/tap-tap
This thing on?
That’s uh, not a microphone. And yes, it’s on.
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
It’s good to see Pep letting Titi play a little. I guess Pedro is tired.
Olympiakos is just coming in with some ludicrous tackles now. I know you’re down an away goal, but there’s no need for that type of Birmingham-level tactics
If a Greek club player curses at an English referee in Italian, does it make a sound?
I would have s**t my pants if Howard Webb had allowed this goal
wooooooooooooooooooooooo! Full-time!
Stuttgart 1-1 Barca
Olympiakos 0-1 Bordeaux
Away goals FTW.
Ned should be happy – Canaries score at the death to win 2-1. Form seems to be slipping a little, though…
OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI OLI! GET IN!
