So I guess everyone won who was expected to win. Manchester United, Real Madrid, Bayern, PSG...even Manchester City dominated today.
Cristiano Ronaldo's third goal was a thing of beauty. His footwork was extraordinary. 
not seen it jim. expect i will catch up on the goals over brekki on sky sports in the morning.
saw a few mins of man city, but Im off football at mo. - for fairly obvious hammers reasons.
Its hard to drum up enthusiasm when your team is so cack.

Saw some of the basel game. theyre are no mugs as they proved last year. 3 very good front men.
Not a surprise they nicked a result from chelsea. Mourinho is tinkering, doesnt know best team yet, doesnt have an inform striker and they dont have a focal point.Against ordinary prem teams theyre fine but against form teams theyre a bit wanting.
Typical arsenal. they beat easier prem and CL opposition and pretend all is well. up against the better sides they will struggle.
Leeds lost to a late winner. 7 mins of injury time? think someone was carried off so that probably accounts for that.
will wait for the TG match report.
By the way jim, messi hatrick looked a bit special.

jim why did you have to bring that up. thats cruel.
west ham fans still feel aggrieved that in the last few mins they ( liverpool) rather meanly closed down a throw after it had been put out for fair play. I cant remember exactly as id put the match in a recycling bin called painful memories.
once theyd equalised it was obvious we would lose the cup.
I wasnt a big fan of liverpool in the 80s purely because they were just too good and devoured everyone with relentlessly boring ease. They were like the crablogger in Thunderbirds - crushing everything in its path.
But unlike most united fans Liverpool fans tend to know their football and are magnanamous in defeat and have been known to clap victors off the park even if their own team has been beaten well. thats rare.
Hillsborough also changed the map.
If anything theyve had a hard time since early 90s as United arsenal and chelsea have dominated. thats tough to take when you were once favourites for everything, even tournaments they werent in!!

Carragher made me laugh the other day on Sky. To ex-full back Gary Neville he said "I dont understand why anyone wants to be a full back. No kid dreams of being a full back! They are frustrated centre halves who cant get a game there or frustrated wingers who arent good enough!"
Probably not far wrong.

The funny thing with Carra was that he used to get slaughtered by the Liverpool fans in his early days. As a local lad, the fans had no qualms in bashing him for a mis-placed pass or wrong tackle, over higher rated foreign players who couldn't give a shit about the shirt.
In his younger days, what he lacked in footballing ability he tried to make up for in passion and commitment. But some fans just didn't rate him and would bollock him relentlessly.
It was only over the years, as his loyalty, enthusiasm and love for the shirt finally won everybody over, that he finally got some recognition (and his song, to the tune of Yellow Submarine, We All Dream Of A Team Of Carraghers).
I think that 1 club player will soon be a thing of the past. We've been lucky to have him AND Gerrard over the past decade to keep our head above water, during these leaner times for a LFC fan
