Chatter from the sidelines


Arsenal 2- 0 Bayern Munich

I don't have much commentary for this match because I was watching Chelsea's match for reasons you'll hear about later

Bayern Fans leaving word that they have been Champions before. Oh, word? Football trashtalk, I dig, I dig!

Props to Bayern fans for taking a stand re: tickets, and props to Arsenal fans for giving Bayern Munich fans props about taking a stand re tickets. So the atmosphere started off right, you get me?

OMG, this! Twenty is plenty, people! Arsenal takes the piss.

Players posing. Yo, tell me if the pictures are a bit too much, yeah?

Lie, I did watch the first half of the Arsenal match (back and forth between Chelsea) again, for reasons. I was dead impressed with Arsenal, and wonder what sort of talk they got

Ledandowski was neutered in the first half

LOOOOL, I thought this was Phillipe Countino

FIGGGGHHHTTT for the ball

Walcott was feeling his oats. More like that, please, Feo

Cech was MAGISTERIAL!

One, two, stretch!

So, is Ospina going to see Champions League action, or nah. *insert troll face here*

Oh yeah, Alonso was in the game. For real?

Giroud strikes!

Ozil scored the second goal. He lives

Dynamo Kiev 0 -0 Chelsea

Mourinho tasked Hazard to win the match for Chelsea. Hazard had a great attempt, creating a chance out of nothing as he does - but missed. But a good miss you know?

Tell me, who is this? Begovic, right? So why was the BT sport commentator calling him Courtois? Why is BT Sports so goddamn shyte? Why bother to pay all that money for Champions League if your commentators are so PITIFUL?! Why are you making me watch your coverage with a frown, yo? All 90 mins, I was like, "It's Begovic, you muppet."

Diego Costa behaved himself. No spitting, winding up players and even apologised? *raised eyebrows*

JOhn Terry back in the stirrups

There was fan trouble and blood, I won't show you that so, have this picture instead. Cahill was working

Willian had a good attempt at a kick, but it hit the bar. I can't find a picture of the player that I watched the match for. Figures

Bejovic was immense. Still no picture of the player I wanted to speak about. So we'll talk about him another time >:(

BATE Borisov 0- 2 Barcelona

Barcelona's kit looks like a bloody egg. Didn't watch this match, so how did it go?

Miscellaneous

Casillas sets a record

4 CL teams were unbeaten going into this round

Neuer is magic

Champions League stage results. SMH at Leverkusen and Roma. That tells me that you had no midfield or defense

OP: done! Sorry, fate is conspiring against me with these posts this week. If not illness, it's electronics. Cheers, jeers, corrections and commentary pushback, you know the drill. Will try and tag this later.

With Jorge Jesus winning the Primeira Liga earlier today, he becomes the fifth portuguese manager to win his respective domestic league this season, in Europe alone, in an historical feat for the profession.

Manchester City’s huge fine for breaching Uefa’s financial fair play rules is to be shared out around the other clubs in the Champions League.

City were fined £50m for the FFP breaches but will only have to pay around £20m if they comply with the break-even rules in future seasons.

The first tranche of payments from City, Paris Saint-Germain and Zenit St Petersburg will total £20m and will be split among the Champions League and Europa League clubs who did comply with the rules last season.

A similar sum will be distributed to clubs who comply with the FFP rules in this season’s European competitions. That means Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Swansea City and Wigan Athletic are the English clubs in line for a windfall of around £200,000.

The European Clubs’ Association chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said Uefa had agreed the fines should go to the other clubs.

He told a news conference in Geneva: “It was an agreement between Uefa and the clubs that it was money belonging to the clubs.”

The clubs will have a chance to argue any changes to FFP rules at a meeting with Uefa on 13 October.

The Uefa president Michel Platini said in his speech to the ECA: “The framework for financial fair play must be dynamic, it must evolve constantly, which is why I have convened an important round table on the subject with your representatives at Uefa headquarters on 13 October.

“We will see whether any imperfections can be ironed out and whether there is room to further improve the system.”

Thoughts? Is this the right way to use the fines?

A group of Zenit St Petersburg supporters, who could face Premier League opposition in the Europa League in February, have called for all non-European and “sexual minorities” to be barred from playing for the club.

More stupidity this way )

Sepp Blatter will make way for a successor as FIFA president in four years' time if he is re-elected in June, he has announced.

Blatter is seeking a fourth term as FIFA president and is being challenged by Asian confederation chief Mohamed Bin Hammam.

The 75-year-old told UEFA's Congress in Paris on Tuesday that if he wins he will definitely stand down in 2015, saying: "You know very well that I am a candidate for the next four years as FIFA president but these will be the last four years for which I stand as a candidate."
He added: "Together we have the task of bringing together the adventure we have started.
"We want to ensure a better future for our youth."

The new president will be elected at a Fifa Congress which starts on 31 May.

With Bin Hammam vowing to increase Fifa's decision-making power and spread its considerable wealth, Blatter is facing his first challenge since Issa Hayatou took him on - and lost - in 2002.

Bin Hammam is also currently attending the Congress for European football's governing body, Uefa, as they lobby federation presidents for their vote on 1 June in Zurich.
Uefa members make up more than one quarter of the maximum 208 Fifa voters that Blatter and Bin Hammam will attempt to woo.
The winner needs a two-thirds majority of valid votes cast in the first ballot, or a majority in the second.

Fifa has set an 1 April deadline for other candidates to be nominated by a single member federation.
"We are in extra time," said Blatter, referring to the time left before the election. "Let's wait and see what the outcome will be."
