Play-offs tonight.

Arsenal started with a creditable goalless draw although in Europe 0-0 can be a dangerous scoreline to take back home.

Demba Ba must have thought he was Pele trying to score from the kick off.

Ramsey sent off for two silly shirt-tugging incidents....

If the refs keep that up for the whole season we will be seeing alot more red cards.

They were both the kind of tugs that every centre back makes it at every corner.

Not a bad effort though

Celtic's luck ran out tonight.

Has to be for the best, they would have got a good beating in the group stages with the team they now have. Scottsh football is getting further behind every year.

They will keep falling behind, sold Wanyama, Forster and Hooper in the last 12 months and haven't come close to replacing them, I wouldn't be surprised if they lose van Dijk and/or Commons this window.

Thing is Commons aint that great. REmember seeing him at forest, and a good Champioship player is all he is. The fact he has shined at Celtic says it all.

I agree, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone comes for him.

are Celtic the first team to be knocked out of the champions league twice in one season lol?!

Nail biting stuff for Arsenal. 10 men again, and pretty harsh again.

Great story over in the Ludogorets-Steaua game.

Game was set to go to penalties after being 1-1 on aggregate but the Ludogorets GK gets sent on just before the shoot-out. They had already used all their subs so centre back Cosmin Moti goes in goal. He takes the first penalty and scores and then saves two to send Ludogorets through to the CL for the first time.

Louis Van Gaal might try that next time his team are in a penalty shoot-out.

Tough group for Man City...bayern and CSK Moscow.

Liverpool have it tough too, with Ral Madrid and Basle. Ludogrets will find it difficult....

Not bad for Chelsea...Schalke and Sporting.

Arsenal should get out of a group comprising Dortmund and Galatasaray.
