In the Champions League Joe Hart saves City's blushes in a 1-1 draw against Brusher Dortmund. Arsenal, who seem to get Olympiakos every cocking year, limp past the Greeks 2-1.

Risdale is banned from being a director of a company for seven and a half years. Good.

Tonight, Spurs and the great saviour of football except not at Leeds apparently Andros Townsend play Panathainaikos in the Wafer Cup/Roper League. Liverpool host Udinese and Bordeaux are entertained by Newcastle. Night oot in Whitley Bay would do.

Question: why are games kicking off at five psat eight? Seems weird.

FOOTBALL.
