On another note. My in-laws bought me Harry Redknapps book for my birthday.
Either they are stupid or trolling.
Tbh will be quite interesting read I reckon. #wheelerdealer

There's league matches tonight too, Crewe v Stevenage, if only that was on the multi-choice!
At least ITV have a proper match on this week. Should be a great game, would like Dortmund to win, Arsenal fans are getting a bit carried away with everything now. Ze German on talksport reckons Dortmund or draw, and Schalke will get a bit of a pasting

Some vital team news for Utd fans to pin their hopes on tomorrow...
"David Moyes hopes Danny Welbeck and Tom Cleverley will be passed fit to face Real Sociedad, despite missing training. "

Watch out for Draxler. The German dudes at work say he'll be better than Ozil!

Yep. We tried to sign him in th Summer (for €45m or €35m + Poldi dependign on you believe) but he didn't want to leave and try to get into a new team ahead of the WC (fair enough) so stayed. We keep getting linked with him but the only kind of midfielder we'll be signing is Arteta's successor/replacement (Khedira or L.Bender for me, maybe Gundogan if we don't try for Reus)

The downfall has begun. Arsenal looked a little tired/sloppy tonight.

Arsenal will be fine, no shame in losing by a goal in the final 10 to a superb Dortmund side.
They have came a million miles in a short space of time, everyone knows they still need quality in key areas which hopefully Wenger has also realised.

yep. such a disappointing result. we werent at the races fromt he get go (be it through tirednmess or whatever) and that is precisely Dortmunds strength. We let them take hold of the game form the start and then sloppily gave awya a goal. We got one back in similar circumstances and from then on we were by far the better team (Dortmund had only one shot in the 2nd half, the goal!) BUT we never really looked liked scoring, Cazorlas effort aside. We swtiched off and were very immature in letting them score on a pathetic counter when we were chasing 2 extra points we probably didnt deserve acorss the 90. that it was (easily and so obviously) scored by a guy who should have been sent off makes it even more jarring 
Defensivelt Dortmund were superb last ngiht, houndign and pressing for the first hour and contaiing for the last 30 mins. Bender and Sahin gave Ozil no space on the ball whatsoever in the first half and we had to make changes at halftime to cope. Lewandowski was a real handful the entire 90, such an annoying player to play against - he's SO well suited to the PL its ridic. The only real disappointment was Reus  Preusdmably he just diodnt want to piss off the fans of his next club  Wilshere and Ramsey had slightly off games but was always goign to happen. Rosicky was the bets player on the pitch for us for majority of the match and Cazorla made a real difference when he came on.
Atmosphere was razor sharp all night and cant wait for the return leg! We need to now pick off Palace in the manner Fulham did and then onwards for CHels and Liverpool next week
