TFTNT Rod and the comment

Might be a big tough for your team losing a player for 3 matches..

Dan, sure once they get a win under their belt, they will be ok

Thanks for the new thread

Here are the key dates to add to the list.

27th August - Carling Cup 3rd Round Draw
24th September - Carling Cup 4th Round Draw
29th October - Carling Cup Quarter Final Draw
26th February - Carling Cup Final
9th May - UEFA Europa League Final
12th May - FA Cup Final
19th May - UEFA Champions League Final

I know that's not all of them, I don't know the Spanish, Italian etc cups so if anyone knows what they are and wants them added then I'm sure they can be added in.

Excited about the Bayern win last night as we are getting closer to our road 'back home' seeing as the final is in Munich! =) Last time we won the CL we lost a final two years prior as well and then we made it to the final again and wo....hehe maybe history will repeat itself.

It was kinda fun, though, that my brother was watching a different channel and saw all goals a couple of seconds before us.

Schweini goal was nice as well!

Thanks for adding all those in I tried to find the FA Cup draws but I didn't have much luck, I'll have another look today and see if I can find them, I'm sure they must be online somewhere.

Congrats on the Bayern win! I only saw the goals from the match, great goal by Robben!

That certainly was a nice goal! Also we did lose a little of that van Gaal style of play that was quite boring to watch actually. Bit of a surprise, though, that Heynckess put Toni Kroos in the starting eleven instead of Thomas Müller.

Robben goal!

It was three. Özil, Villa and Marcello. All three of them were red-carded. I just saw the match report.

I watched the match, I actually thought over the two legs Real Madrid were the better team. Mourinho just makes me laugh, Pique saying "Mourinho is destroying Spanish football." was just ridiculous. I would argue that players diving to the ground is destroying their football but that's just me.

It's a shame the sending offs happened as it had been a good game of football, I know the tackle was bad but I've seen similar tackles to that in the Premiership only get a yellow so I'm not convinced it was worthy of a straight red.

I feel excatly the same about Barca and think they should get the heck of their high horse! As a protest I got a Madrid jersey when I went to Barcelona...=O

Bayern is up 3:0 at halftime! Surprisingly fantastic performance this
early in the season. =P

Dan There's still plenty of time to turn it around at least.

Great result for us today beating Sunderland away, now we just need to buy a striker.

Oh dear Arsenal What is it going to take for Wenger to buy some players? Everyone knows he has money available so I have no idea why he isn't spending it, we're in a similar situation but I think Arsenal's is a bit more desperate given the expectations and the pressure they are under from the likes of Man City and Liverpool who have invested heavily over the last year.
