England's football empire crumbles and falls into the sea as Platini gets his wish. Barca-Inter and Bayern-Lyon it is. I believe I backed Bayern to win the thing on here a while back, and I still do. Things just seem to fall into place for them this season.

Anywho, United lead 3-0 but still manage to go out because some evil Germans (so Ribery, Olic and van Bommel) ask the ref to send off someone who had committed two yellow card offences and at some point made at least minimal contact with another players foot while challneging for the ball in a game of football. Foot. Ball.

Liverpool-Benfica and Wolfsburg-Fulham tonight, if there's any justice in the world Fulham and Benfica will go through. Not cause I hate Liverpool (though I do) or because of the Hodgson wank conga (not part of that myself), but because the idea of a CL dropout winning the thing makes me cringe.

Brian Laws is about to be sacked apparently. Oh well.
