was udnese's finishing just that terrible? seemed like they were on the ball quite a bit.

 

Sczewsceklsnfny played a good game, so did the back 4. Only a few truly 'missed' chances. Arsenal fans should get ready for a bumpy ride... still no finishing without Van Persie on the pitch.

 

They are still in pre season mode and did not look crisp at all. Credit to Arsenal for not pissing down their leg like they have in the past.

UEFA might as well just get rid of the touch line bans. Bump up the fine to 100k and call it a day.

 

Plzen going through (I hope). Good news for me.

 

Yeah with 3 away goals today that is a huge lead going into the 2nd leg.

 

Good lord Robben put some curl on his goal. 2-0 Bayern in the 72'

 

Odense 1-0 over Villarreal. They have played surprisingly well

 

Odense's crowd is outstanding.

Benedict scores for Villareal. Keeper should have saved it.

 

APOEL up 2-0 now.

Good night sweet Odense.
