Wenger has picked Sanogo instead of Giroud....
 
Sky1 has the Arsenal-Munich game tonight for anyone who doesn't have SkySports in the UK...
 
As a neutral, it's a very good game for entertainment though. 2 penalties, a red card and an early substitution. Can't wait for the second half.
 
Well, Arsenal tried, you have to give them that. Bayern really ran them dry and wore them out exploiting that one less player. Arsenal did good.
 
Arsenal got tired very quickly with 10 men especially because Bayern played really good possession football for most of the second half.
 
Arsenal created an atmosphere, maybe even made up for City's poor attempt at one last night. :lol:

Bayern looked okay, wouldn't say they were phenomenal, probably doing a Spain in the last major tournament, basically not giving it their all till the final stages. Could be wrong but they looked stuck in 2nd gear tonight.
 
it was a carbon copy of last night wasn't it?!

Great effort by Arsenal but it was too much to ask to try and get a result against the Europeans Champions with 10 men...and I've got just three words for Toni Kroos's goal...What..A..Strike!!!

Great card display by the fans before the match as well, looked fantastic! 👍
 
I just want to say that even though we lost, I still had a great night and that the team should be proud of themselves.
Each one of them did very well and we started the game brilliantly. From where I was sat, Bayern deserved the penalty but Szczesney shouldn't have been sent off. There was no intent so far as I could see and it pretty much killed the game for us.

A shout out to REDaction as well, that card display looked brilliant and it was nice to be involved in. The atmosphere in the ground was electric even when we conceded, and people say that as a PL club we have the worst atmosphere? What about the silence at City yesterday?
 
People said there were empty seats at the Etihad but I didn't see any, looked very full to me..

...also, Atletico Madrid beat AC Milan 1-0 thanks to Diego Costa's late header..

It doesn't matter if there was intent in it, it's a red card. Shame really, as it killed the game, just like yesterday.

According to this site, Madrid and Schalke will also be on Sky 1 next week, not sure if that's true as it would make more sense to put on the Chelsea game...

The quality of some internet live streams nowadays means that you can watch pretty much any game in 720p or more as well. I try not to use them as far as possible because it takes money away from channels that show the games.

I usually use streams as I don't have Sky Sport or BT Sport, but in my area where the internet connection isn't the best(1.5-2 Megabits per second download usually) they're not always nice to use, can take 5 or 10 minutes before finding the best compromise between quality and "jumpyness" caused by my connection. For Champions League and Europa League, it's never an issue, as RTE, TV3 and 3e(Irish channels) show a game each night, I'm just posting the info about Sky 1 as I believe there is no terrestrial channel in the UK apart from ITV that shows Champions League.

BTW, Sky Sports have much better pundits and commentary than RTE, although it can be hilarious watching RTE debates on some players.:lol:

An old one here...
 
Called 4/4 of the games but won hardly anything in cash. Odds werent that great, its going to be the same four winners in the 2nd leg.
 
Here's what the card display looked like for those who missed it, REDaction did a great job 👍 I'm in that white section just behind the left-hand side goal somewhere :p

The Gala-Chelsea game will be on Sky next week, along with Zenit v Dortmund and Schalke v Real....ITV have got United v Olympiakos..
 
Olympiakos v Man United tomorrow night, No Mata for United as he is cup-tied....same reason why Matic and Salah wont play for Chelsea against Gala...
 
Great display, ours was better against Barca. :p

I can see United winning 1-0.
 
2-0 would be better, its away from home so it would be pretty much game over if it was a 2-0 win....
 
Dortmund are 0-2 up away at Zenit half time, Reus got the first and the second was scored by the Armenian with the long surname that I cant spell....
 
Mhkitaryan.

The goals were scored at 4' and 5' minutes. @MUSC4EVER your order is wrong first was Mhkitaryan and then Reus. The game is boring as hell

EDIT: Zenit entered better in this 2nd half and scored a goal. Levandowski putted them in their place again after 3 minutes. Still a boring game.

2nd EDIT: So Zenit had a penalty-kick offered (haven't seen the replay yet) and scored. Levandowski again put the score 2-4, 2 minutes after the penalty. Why is Zenit still trying?
