But on the BBC's gossip column, they have a whole section dedicated to reports about the United game. I've never seen that ever before. I normally trust the BBC website the most as it normally appears to have less bullshit on it compared to other sites, e.g. Sky Sports.

Back on topic though, the Champions League has produced some great performances in recent years:
- Liverpool's comeback vs. Milan
- Barcelona's complete dominance vs. United
- Mourinho leading Porto all the way to the title

More importantly, the Europa League/UEFA Cup has chucked in a few too:
- City beating Schalke 2-0 away (not exactly hard is it)
- City beating Hamburg at home 2-1
- The first minute of City away to Hamburg
- The Poznan fans vs. City home and away

The last 4 were probably the best in recent years ;-)


Haha brilliant! How did I forget that?? But they didn't have the greatest goalkeeper of all time then :)

The exaggeration on SSN is phenomenal. You'd swear they just beat Barca 2 nil in the nou camp.

For me, it was probably Barca beating the rags. I thought they outclassed them in every department. I think they'll do it again too... only with more penetration :)


Neuer was in net when we beat them 2-0.

When Barca ripped or should i say Messi ripped Arsenal apart with his 4 goals was special.

I think it's a tie between Akinfeev from CSKA Moscow and Adler from Bayern Leverkusen, at least I rate those two the most. I rate Adler just ahead of Neuer. I also like the little Mexican flying machine of Guillermo Ochoa. He's insane!

Anyway, best European performance? I think it has got to be Liverpool's comeback against AC Milan. Considering the stage, the moment, the time. It was a fairytale ending, one you only see in films.


I don't watch Akinfeev on a regular basis, so can't say, but Adler better than Neuer? At the moment? No way in hell.

Adler makes more mistakes, flaps at crosses & is not enjoying a good season by anyone's standards, let alone the best in the world.
