Aston Villa v. CSKA Moskova is the best of the round of 32. Wagner-Love is a force.

A.C. Milan still solidly and inescapably the favorite to win it all.

Go on Standard & NEC!!!

 

No, but he was wearing a SWEET "I 'heart' Jesus" shirt

(second vid, 2:40ish mark)

 

Brad Guzan gets good experience in the Cup, but has a bad experience on the day. Aston Villa, take a seat please.

 

On Sky Sports, 'Arry all but said they're gifting this one to focus on the Calder Cup final and their relegation battle. Doesn't hurt that so many of Spurs players are cup-tied or injured.

Speaking of cup-tied, does this only apply to the Euro tourneys or the FA and Calder as well?
