So at this half way point where are we in the seeding?
At this stage all I want is Celtic, and being in pot 2.
We're in pot three unless both Sevilla and Napoli find a way to cock it up.

TV3 here in Ireland are showing the Astana vs Celtic play off 2nd leg at 4.30


I think I will give it a miss.

Forget I mentioned TV3 and coverage of the Celtic match, they obviously had better ideas and put on Judge Judy instead.

My TV listings mag is wrong.

Really exciting game between Sevilla and a Turkish team whose name I can't spell or pronounce but they have Adebayor, Clichy, Inler and Emre in their team.

Just switched on the Liv v Hoff match to find 5times are 3-0 up after 25 mins. Game over at 5-1 agg.

12 minutes left with Pool winning 4-1, a terrible spectacle - so many unforced errors, farcical defending from both sides.

Now 4-2 (6-3)

I'd look at the bets laid for this one. Well suss.

Tough tough group but playing a team like Real Madrid is what being in the CL all about. It could easily be argued that it would have been better to get out of the group and have a chance to play them in the knockout stages but I'm looking forward to at least seeing how we match up with them.

Anyone watching?

Chelsea unsurprisingly off to a good start and potential injury worry for Pogba

Captain Pogba subbed off for Fellaini. Depending on how bad that injury is that could be interesting.
