Leaving it late, Panathinaikos won the game as they did a fortnight ago to end Sparta Prague's Champions League run prematurely. A must-win game for the visitors was level until Souza tallied late in ... 
Wisla Krakow made history yesterday as they became the first Polish club to defeat the mighty FC Barcelona. At least they came out of the draw with something after losing the first game 0:4. The win is even more valuable when we consider the fact that the Catalans played their strongest squad ... 
Found this shirt on e-bay. The sale is over now, but I think it came from Thailand. Made me laugh.
I actually considered buying it, and wearing it out in public, and waiting for some snooty person to say, "Ahem. Nicolas Anelka is NOT a number 10." ... 
Panathinaikos face their final qualifying test tonight at OAKA, as Czech club Sparta Prague pays a visit to the Greek capital. Holding a 2-1 aggregate lead heading into tonight's deciding leg, Panathinaikos is favourite to progress to the group stage of the Champions League.
