Europa League 2011/2012

I'm watching Stoke v Besiktas. 1-1 at the moment. Rustu is coping with the long-throws by falling on the floor every time one is hurled in.

But I tell you what - I'd love to see Messi try and perform his so-called "skills" on an unseasonably warm and pleasant Thursday night at the Britannia.

Rustu played 17 games for Barcelona and look what he's doing, would you imagine Messi to do the same?
 
2-1 SPurs now, hopefully does not end as a complete thrashing
 
Europa League - the worst idea UEFA ever had. Dull, dull, dull. Soon to be the European Carling cup.
 
No games on Sky, no wonder it gets considered second rate.

Celtic 1-0 down.
 
Watching the Spurs game now.

I notice Chris Wood scored for Birmingham earlier.
 
Seriously how is there no English Europa League games on TV today. I have Shamrock Rovers now and Celtic earlier.

They should sell the Europa League and Champions League rights together and contractually force the TV Companies to give both competitions similar attention.

Stoke are on ITV4 (after showing Fulham earlier) and Tottenham are on Five.
 
Free-kick from Pavlyuchenko hammered in to the top right hand corner.
 
How exactly is that not offside and interfering when you DELIBERATELY stand in the way of the goalkeeper's view?

Apparently you can't interfere with play unless you touch the ball these days. As Shankly said 'if he's not interfering with play what's he doing on the pitch?'
