just need to make it to half time here.

To be fair that was a brilliant finish by that Birmingham player.

What a rocket! Fully deserved.

hm I would have started Donovan. Hopefully he'll at least get some decent amount of minutes in his last game.

Ribery for Pienaar, Yobo and Yakubu. Maybe throw in Anichebe . I would make that trade.

.. you're right.. he might have the physique of a 20 year old but he sounds like he's 12 .. comes out to 16.

I just spend the past half hour trying to find out if that's the case. Couldn't find anything except that the Google cars were spotted all over Belgium a year ago. I assume it doens't take a year to get that data online. Might be a legal issue, but it's been over four years since I last studies Belgian privacy laws and to be honest I forgot all about them from the moment I handed in my exam. Pretty cool to "drive" around Goodison Park though. Much nicer than Anfield.. .

.. Bad typo .. In my defense it was 4.24am.

"Good" news for Everton. Bad news for American sports. So there's a likely MLS strike, with NBA and NFL strikes to come??

Would probably be the smart bet but I still have faith that there will be two Belgian teams in the quarterfinals. Hamburg's defense looked shaky. If you can beat Bilbao 4-0 at home, beating Hamburg 2-0 should be possible. Standard lost Defour to injury, sex weeks out probably. He's looking like an injury prone player .. maybe I shouldn't be hoping for Everton to buy him after all.

Quite an enjoyable night in the Europa League. Liverpool looses (Hazard scores!), Standard beat a bunch of greeks, Fulham still with a good chance of beating some Italian side, Valencia on their way out (dislike the team because they play in one of the ugliest city in Europe) ... Can't believe what kind of field Wolfsburg had to play on against Rubin Kazan. Unacceptable in the late stages of a major tournament. Wouldn't mind the same scorelines next week.

Band of Horses - I go to the barn because I like the.

Besides, all the players would have made an extra € 1 million in bonuses had they won the Champions League. That's probably break even with winning the whole thing .

Real Madrid just lost to Lyon. They were outplayed in the second half and never looked like scoring another goal. Most people probably wanted Real to remain in the competition so there would be a Real-Chelsea or ManU game, but Lyon really deserved this. Would't mind if Miralem Pjanic was one of the players Moyes brings in during the summer . What a player at only 19 years old. From the bits and pieces I saw of ManU vs AC Milan it looked almost as boring as Arsenal-Porto.

Can't believe what a twat Bendtner is. Can't score on the easiest of opportunities against Burnley and now he's acting like he's the best striker in the world because he scored a few against Porto.

Charlie and Dennis - Dayman. Fighter of the Nightman!

And to DangerMouse today .. a more active poster.

Well seeing how his dad is Belgian and Lukaku was born in Belgium and doesn't have any other nationality than the Belgian one, I don't see how you can doubt his age.

Arteta (with an assist from Phil Brown) was awesome today.

How does Phil Brown still have a job as manager? Hull are just as lost as in the first half.

Heitinga and Arteta are playing great. Apart from missing the penalty Yakubu has been playing pretty well IMO. I don't get why Anichebe is out there.

http://www.veetle.com/frameworked/index.php/channel/view#4b9058124c454 Hope Arteta scores again. Don't mind the closeups of the missus.

that Yakubu penalty was reminiscent of Berbatov in the FA cup semi final last year ... horrible.

Nice one Mikel. This looks like it could be a blowout.
