Internazionale v Arsenal [R] Match Day 5 [R]

[DallasGooner]

too early for line ups...but we know who is not playing. Bergkamp, Vieira, Wiltord, Lauren and maybe Gilberto.

I can't wait for this one, we all know its a must win. Not much more to say about it other then we have to pull this one out.

Well as of this posting it still appears that the game is going to be on ESPN2!

[DallasGooner]

Oh yeah, ref is Wolfgang Stark from Germany.

I'm talking to friends ovrer there and they say that it's been raining since about 4:00, their time. Not good. And now for the MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION OF ALL TIME: is Dan eating... The Meal?

I'm stuck at work right now, but I'll try to get home and do a little PBP for the desk-bound fans.

[ljunberg19]

i'm debating whether to follow it here or have someone at home tape it and watch it when i get back home. anyone know if it'll be on capital gold?

[Warrenton Wanderers]

I don't think anyone knows for sure until the game starts, but the last CL game against Kiev was so I'd say it's likely.

[DallasGooner]

half time in the other game...

Lokomotiv Moskva 2-1 Dynamo Kyiv

Lokomotiv Moskva 2-1 Dynamo Kyiv Without actually verifying this myself, I've read elsewhere that we wouldn't mind if Lokomotiv beat Kiev, although a draw between those two is best for us.

yeah, from my playing around with results I think that (Lokomotiv win) would be the best result...but there are so many possiblities, we really just need to win out and then we can not care what others do.

[ljunberg19]

Dynamo just tied it in the 65th.

2-2 now.

Agreed, we need some sort of shake up having only scored two goals all CL so far, one of them by a defender.

[DallasGooner]

Lokomotiv now up 3-2, grabed an 89th min goal...not final yet.

[TheSlipperyOne]

We have Webster's dad on our bench!

Please, somebody do as much PBP as possible for us desk jockeys with evil computer admins.

Group B Pld W D L GS GA Pts

Lokomotiv Moskva 5 2 2 1 7 5 8
Internazionale 4 2 1 1 6 5 7
Dynamo Kyiv 5 2 0 3 7 7 6
Arsenal 4 1 1 2 2 5 4

[DallasGooner]

Lokomotiv win 3-2, updated table:

Lokomotiv Moskva 8 +2
Internazionale 7 +1
Dynamo Kyiv 6 0
Arsenal 4 -3


This means a draw will still keep us alive, we need a win/win but a draw/win combo could still see us advance but will need some help...lots of help.
