Weren't Juventus strong on Tuesday night?

Packie: " We turn to the Juventus game now and Mark, they were very strong last year, as we know, very strong and this year they look strong as well. Tonight again they looked strong, very strong, didn't they?"

Lawro - "Yes Packie, they were strong, very strong... and very good."

Nice to see the lads operating Soccernet's live CL commentary thingy are at least trying to learn Ronglish. You'll get there in the end, chaps.

"Pires takes and Edu does poorly with a free header, planting it into the ground and making the save easy for Shovkovskiy, not that the keeper wasn't anxious to make the most of it with a Hollywood dive."

Will Arsenal ever get the hang of this Big Cup lark?

Darren Frehill took a few minutes out from laughing at the Gooners to bolster his guffbank account by pouncing on some indecision in the Kiev defence:

"There was a breakdown of the communication barrier between them."


And later on You're on Sky Sports, Paul Boardman voiced his theory in familiar style:

"There's one word that sums up Arsenal's attitude: 'Indifference to Europe.'"

Great news for disappointed Celtic fans looking to add another side to their portfolio. Or maybe Dunphy's just trying to make some much-needed friends:

United are almost an Irish club, a catholic club.


And Gilesy seems on good terms with Ireland's newest representatives:

They've got Quentin playing in front of the back four."


But is Billo convinced by the United Irishman?

Tonight is a night that will make boys out of men. And John O'Shea could be one of them."


And as for George? Up to his old tricks...

As Gary passed to Phil...
"Neville... Neville... bit like the boys' father, whose name is Neville Neville."

And as Arteta blasted wide, the linguist in George made an appearance...
"And they have a name up here for somebody who does something like that. They call him a tube."
