Bubba Hog Tuesday

Bubba Hog, Arkansas...errr...cheerleader.

OK, some big European Cup games tonight. Arsenal need to beat Hamburger SV and I hope they do so. The club that gave the world Uwe Seeler also made a pact with the devil in the last century: here's the proof.

The Anti Christ in action v Liverpool when they were good. Possibly the twentieth century?

Right, on to the proper stuff. It's Manyoo v Celtic in about half an hour and that should be an experience. Manyoo are three points ahead in Group F but a Celtic win plus an 'interesting' result in Lisbon could change the entire shape of the group. Celtic are unbeaten at home in the group, haven't conceded a goal yet and are currently FIFTEEN points ahead of Rangers in the SPL, but that's probably because Celtic aren't either (a) totally dysfunctional or (b) terrible at football like the rest of the teams up there.

United have split their away games in the group, both performances can hardly be described as classics. Benfica should have beaten them in Lisbon but had about three meaningful attacks that were snuffed out and FC Copenhagen beat them because to be brutally honest, United fannied about for most of the evening expecting a draw.

I don't think that's going to be the case tonight, purely and simply because the atmosphere is going to be amazing...although that bloody song is a pain in the neck, so when you hit the play button below, turn the volume down or put your hands over your ears or something.



Priceless? I'll give you priceless.

I could tell you a story about this - and I will one day - but the TV coverage is about to start, so I'll leave you with one of the greatest finishes to a match I've ever seen.


Sometimes words are totally inadequate.
