Madame Zaza Predicts Part I

'...because to be brutally honest, United fannied about for most of the evening expecting a draw.'

Yep, I wrote that last night before the game. Once again, my psychic powers were proven correct: that's exactly what happened in Glasgow last night as Manyoo crashed to a 1-0 defeat by a Shunsuke Nakamura free kick with about ten minutes left.

Is it me or is that shirt too big?

I like a good cliche, so here's one. Louis Saha was 'left to rue' a missed sitter and a missed penalty that would have at least drawn the game, but Manyoo seem to want to qualify the hard way. To make matters even more tense ahead of the Benfica game on December 6th, it means that Celtic qualfied for the last sixteen in the Champions League for the first time - although it is not the first time they've qualified for the last sixteen in the European Cup*. I don't know how many times that's happened, but seeing as though they won it in 1967 and reached the final in 1970 it has to be at least twice. Best of luck to them.

Billy McNeil proving Nicky Campbell wrong almost 40 years ago.

The Arse beat Hamburglar 3-1. As I write this, Liverpool are drawing with PSV Eindhoven and Chelsea are losing to Werder Bremen (snort, giggle etc.)
