Olympiacos 0-1 Schalke
Montpellier 1-2 Arsenal
PSG 3-0 Kiev

Real Madrid score twice in the last 4 minutes to beat Shiteh 3-2, Hilarious and the scum got what they deserved.
Both sides defending was flimsy at times. Great to see Hart gift Ronaldo the winner.
Good win by Arsenal, Montpellier probably deserved a point, they played decent football and dominated the second half but the quality of their final pass or shots on goal was quite ordinary. Arsenal should comfortably get out of that group

Whilst watching Arsenal dismantle Liverpool the other week (I know thats not a significant achievement these days) I couldn't help but think their defensive oriented changes might stand them in better stead for the CL

Think Arsenal have always been defensively ok in the CL. For one reason or another they have never been to get over the final hurdle. They should easily get out of that group and with a bit of luck and a decent draw they could make the quarters at least.

maybe so, but there is something in the air or water after the group stages as we never normally progress from there

[RoosterMarty]

Great to see Ronaldo score the winner against City! Just about the only goal he has celebrated so far this season.

The Chavs blew a 2-0 lead against Juve, Oscar got an early double, the second was an absolute belter.
United played some good patches but were fairly average most of the game, defending was pathetic, took a couple of cracking saves by DeGea to keep us infront. Nani's penalty miss was a shocker and must say the ref was a joke. Both sides should have had at least 2 penalties each. Positives were the return of Fletcher after a long injury layoff and we were also able to get valuable match time into Kagawa, Vidic and Valencia.
Barca were 2-1 down at home with 20 minutes remaining but who else but Messi with a late double came to the rescue
