Thankfully for me, Setanta Ireland are showing it!

Can't believe TV3 are not showing this one. In fairness, its one of stand-out ties of the whole CL group stage imo.

I'm not Citeh fan either but you may have guessed that I'm not a Utd fan

Badstuber is missing for Bayern, he has the flu. Van Buyten and Boateng will likely be the CBs.

Bayern have scored 29 conceded 1 in all competitions so far this season. There might be 7-0 and 5-0 hammerings of Freiburg and Hamburg in there but 1 goal conceded is still impressive. Going to predict a 1-1 draw. Dzeko for City and RIbery for Bayern.

Always the chance they might start Robben but I doubt it.

C'mon City

Is Robben injured or something?

He was for the last month. But he came off the bench for the last 10 minutes against Bayer on Saturday and scored.

Anyone watching it on Sky think Noel Gallagher looked off his trolley?

Years of the rock'n'roll lifestyle will do that to you.

Ridiculous that Kolo is starting.

When Ferdinand's ban expired he was thrown straight back into the action v Liverpool and got man of the match.

I wouldn't worry too much.

Kolo is no Rio Ferdinand though in fairness, penchant for drug controversies aside.

Oh I know, but was just pointing out that match fitness for defenders is a tad overrated at times. It wouldn't surprise me to see Toure slot back in without much problem.

It's not about fitness for me, he should be in the team on merit and one cup outting against Birmingham isn't enough to earn your spot back.

We've started well.

We have definitely fantastically well. A decent shout for a peno and a good chance on target already.

krustydoyle

Ah Dzeko should of hammered that in...

Xavi6

It was definitely a foul on Silva in the box.

It'd be easier to get a penalty in old trafford..

Just a word on Micah, his game has improved massively in the last season, I've been really impressed with him this season so far.

krustydoyle

Bayern move the ball quickly... i hope we dont get caught on the break..

And he's started very well on Ribery.

krustydoyle

Clichy is getting roasted...

Hammer Archer

Hmmm just had 2 minutes of the Madrid game with Man City commentary on Setanta.

~Rebel~

City really have gelled impressively well.

hows this game going?

City on top from what I've seen.

Xavi6

I was worried about how we would approach this but I don't think it's crazy to say that we've been the better side and are attacking at every opportunity.

Great to see.

very entertaining, both sides exchanging good spells, richards just had what i thought was a decent shout for a peno turned down

Aye, looked like the shoulder was thrown into his back after he'd surged past the man.

Some of the quick interplay from city is great to watch.

Xavi6

And that's why I don't rate K. Toure. Goes wandering, loses the ball, and leaves the defence completely exposed.

~Rebel~

Oooh, Bayern really should have gone ahead there..

FYG

Bayern should be one up!

krustydoyle

They are now... :mad:

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Unlucky Joe Hart. Two good stops.

thats been coming the last 10 mins

~Rebel~

Almost heroic stuff by Hart, 3rd times the charm though...

Xavi6

It's been coming in the last few minutes. Richards was left exposed against Ribery and the overlapping Lahm. Hart unlucky.

karma_

ffs How often does Hart do that, stops the ball fine but doesn't control or hold it and leaves himself in all kinds of danger.

He really should of held the 1st effort..

BERBA

Mancini big boo boo playing K Toure , need his head examined:eek:

krustydoyle

FFS... Toure again... asleep... :mad::mad::mad::mad:

Oat23

...and that's how he gets 35 goals a season.

Hart, exact same fúcking thing.

Xavi6

Wow, we're fucked now.

Lovely stuff Bayern.

Welcome to the big time lads.

Just switched over ht at ot and caught that last goal, hart goin' nuts, thought he could have parried that ball out for a corner.
