My guys from Arsenal battled with Marseille. Both sides ended in a nil-nil draw at the Gunners house-Emirates.

The guys had a ton of chances but once again we came up with bupkis.

Still a tie doesn’t hurt us too bad.

But we still have to wait a week to see if we’ll advance to the knockout stage.

Sure Arsenal didn’t start Robin Van Persie or Andre Arshavin but jeaze guys a score would have been nice.

Arsenal is still top dog in Group F with eight points.

The mighty boys from Old Trafford escaped from Bucharest with 2-0 win over Otelul Gatati.

This baby was touch and go for a long time.

Man U needed two PK’s from the Rooney to get the precious “W”.

A red card was given to Nemanja Vidic in the 66^th minute.

This was not a heave-hoe card but a yellow.

This almost cost Sir Alex and the boys big time but Rooney and company stepped up and slammed the door shut.

This was the Red Devils first win in Group play.

The guys had two ties going into this sucker.

The major problem is that Man U wasted many opportunities to salt this puppy away.

This could come back and bite them in ass big time.

Man City needed a late goal by Sergio Aguero in the 93^rd minute to propel the Citizens to a 2-1 win over Villarreal.

City was given a gift in the 43^rd minute when Villarreal’s Carlos Marchena deposited the ball into his own net.

Not good garoto.

Home pitch has its advantages. My guys picked up a nervy 2-1 win over Olympiakos.

Arsene Wenger was banned from the touchline. Robin Van Persie sat until the 71^st minute. Thus newcomers Alex Oxlade Chamberlain and Andre Santos proved their worth for the Gunners.

Both men nailed the ball for twine rippers in the 8^th and 20^th minutes. Chamberlain said this about his goal- quotes taken from www.france24.com “It was a really good experience,” Oxlade-Chamberlain said after becoming the youngest ever English goal-scorer in the Champions League.

“It’s a big step up, but I want to play at the top level and I have plenty more time to play in the Champions League.

“It’s my first time in the Champions League and I’m glad we’ve achieved three points.”

The Greek side Olympiakos cut the gap to 2-1.

David Fuster found the back of the net in the 27^th minute.

Olympiakos almost found the equalizer in the 64^th minute.

Vasilis Torosidis fired a ball buster the almost found its mark.

Kerr plunk the ball flies off the cross bar.

My Gunners keeper Szczesny can thank his lucky stars the woodwork was there to save his silly ass.

The guys have three points.

The UK Guardian wrote this- Arsène Wenger will take what he can get at present. This narrow victory over arguably the poorest team in Arsenal‘s Champions League group sufficed to keep the wolves from the door for another day, although it did little to portray the club as credible contenders.

Chelsea almost had a win but a dumbo play by Salomon Kalou gave Valencia new life. The Spanish side converted the PK in the 87^th minute to earn a one all tie with Chelsea.

Roberto Soldado nailed the PK to save their butts.

Chelsea was in control of this puppy for 86 minutes then one stupid mistake cost them big time.

Just like Man U the Blues gave this baby away.

Valencia’s keeper Diego Alves made a key save down the stretch to save the day.

Barca destroyed BATE Borisov 5-0.

The Russian club never had a chance.

Lionel Messi hit the daily double.

Pedro and David Villa each tickled the twines.

The Russian dudes gave up an own goal in the 19^th minute by Aliaksandr Valadzko to seal the deal for the Catalans.

This baby was never in doubt.

My Gunners are in second place in Group F with four points.

Marseille is top dog with six points.

Group E has Chelsea in the pole position with four points.

Bayer Leverkusen is in second place with three points.

Barca is the pole sitter with four points.

AC Milan has four points também,

The Catalans have a plus five while AC Milan is a plus two.
