Should be a great game, this time it's a group game and not a straight knockout like last season, but Chelsea will be out for revenge big time after being knocked out by Liverpool in the 2004/05 tournament. Match of the week imo :)

Yes Bayern are looking good this season despite their 2-0 defeat away to Hamburg today, but they still remain top with 6 wins out of 7 in the Bundesliga. But they have every chance of going far in the Champions League this season, not good enough to win it outright though imo, but then at this stage last season i don't think the majority of people thought Liverpool would win it, or Porto the season before, so ya never know! :)

Results for Tuesday 27th September

A Bayern Munich 1 - 0 Club Brugge

A Juventus 3 - 0 Rapid Vienna

B Ajax 1 - 2 Arsenal

B FC Thun 1 - 0 Sparta Prague

C Panathinaikos 2 - 1 Werder Bremen

C Barcelona 4 - 1 Udinese

D Lille 0 - 0 Villarreal

D Manchester United 2 - 1 Benfica

In Group A tonight goals from David Trezeguet, Adrian Mutu and Zlatan Imbrahimovic sealed an easy 3-0 victory for Juventus while Bayern Munich failed to impress in a 1-0 victory over Club Brugge. FC Thun got their first ever Champions League victory at home to Sparta Prague in Group B, while in the same group Arsenal got an away victory in Amsterdam against Ajax, Freddie Ljunberg amongst the scorers there.

In Group C Werder Bremen suffered another defeat in this competition, this time away to Panathinaikos in Greece, and also in Group C world player of the year Ronaldinho hit a hat-trick for Barcelona in a 4-1 rout over Udinese at the Nou Camp. Finally Group D saw Manchester United get their first victory of this year's group stage, against Benfica. Ruud Van Nistelrooy getting the winner in a 2-1 win, while Lille and Villarreal fought out a boring 0-0 draw.

Player of the night: Ronaldinho for that hat-trick, the first goal was certainly special imo :)

Ronaldinho was undoubtedly the class act of the night. That first goal was a marvel. I wish this match had been telecast instead of Arsenal vs. Ajax.

Alson, congratulations to Ruud Van Nistelrooy for maintaining his scoring record in the Champions League. 43 goals in 50 games!!

Yes congrats to Van Nistelrooy indeed! For a man who gets a lot of stick for missing lots of chances in the premiership, he has once again proved he is the man in the Champions League. One of the best goalscoring records in the tournament all time :)

And also congrats to Juventus striker Alessandro Del Piero and Club Brugge Striker Gert Verheyen who both made their 100th appearance in European club competition tonight :)

F Rosenborg 0 - 1 Lyon

G Anderlecht 0 - 1 Real Betis

Another busy night of Champions League action saw turkish side Fenerbahce hit three past PSV Eindhoven in Group E with two goals from Alex, and Jan Venegoor Of Hesselink getting sent off for the Dutch side. Also in the same group Schalke 04 came from behind twice to earn a draw against Milan AC, Clarence Seedorf scoring for the Italians after just 21.7 seconds from the start and Larsen equalising for the Germans two minutes later in an exciting match at the Gelsenkirchen. Shevchenko also amongst the scorers in that match.

In Group F Raul Gonazalez became the first player to hit 50 goals in this competition as Real Madrid got a win against Olympiakos at the Bernabeu Stadium, Sergio Ramos sent off for the home side in that match, and in the other match in this group Lyon continued with their winning ways with a well earned 1-0 away at Rosenborg, Cris with the goal there.

In Group G Real Betis got their first victory of this season's competition with a 1-0 in Belgium against Anderlecht, while Liverpool and Chelsea fought out a goalless draw at Anfield.

Finally in Group H Internazionale defeated Rangers 1-0 in an empty San Siro stadium, Claudio Pizarro getting the winner there, Julio Cruz missed a penalty for Inter in that match too, while Artmedia Bratislava came from 2-0 down to beat 2004 european champions Porto 3-2 in Porto, Petras, Kozak and Borbely scoring for the away side.

Player of the night: Raul Gonzalez of Real Madrid for getting to the magical 50 goal mark first :)

I was at work so I missed the action (for me here in the States would have been the Chelsea-Liverpool showdown). Sounds like a good day of football. Still concerned about Milan's defense not being as stingy as I had grown accustomed to. Blowing a one goal lead? TWICE? It's a bit discomforting.

Yes the talk by the experts after the game was of the Milan defence, in particular the AGE of the defence. The 2nd Schalke goal imo was completely misread by Nelson Dida in the Milan goal, it seems he thought the shot (a long range effort from 35 yards) was going well past the post. But i think you're right to be concerned, Schalke created too many clear cut chances, not good from a Milan point of view. In an attacking sense they still look hot though.

Liverpool should of had a penalty, Gallas punched a goalbound Carra header. Other than that we were more than match for Chelsea.

They should have gotten 3 penalties, Chelsea went to Anfield to play for a point, how that could haunt them in the coming phases.

Chelsea play boring football. It's pretty much fact now in the football world.

The most exciting teams in the Premiership have to be Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal and Newcastle to an extent. As they actually go out to win every game. And to win it in style.

But the fact is, Chelsea DO win every game, unlike Arsenal, Liverpool and Man Utd :

How the 4 teams are doing in the Premiership at the moment:

Chelsea -: Played 7, Won 7, Drawn , Lost , Scored 14, Conceded 1

Man Utd -: Played 6, Won 3, Drawn 2, Lost 1, Scored 7, Conceded 3

Arsenal -: Played 6, Won 3, Drawn 1, Lost 2, Scored 9, Conceded 4

Liverpool-: Played 5, Won 1, Drawn 4, Lost , Scored 3, Conceded 2

So Chelsea don't actually go out to win every game? I think not...

Chelsea boring? I think not... they are ahead on all the stats, and they don't lie. Like they're all saying now, everyone's jealous of their success. Still a long way to go, but Chelsea have been fantastic up to now.

Hardly jealous, they are boring in their football, and nothing you said there said they played exciting football. Yes, they score, but we all love that long ball over the top, don't we?

    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.
