The Wednesday nights of the champions will be as interesting as ever, the draw was made and Liverpool and Chelsea will meet again for the fifth consecutive season. You just couldn't make it up.

Mike Bassett Football Manager

Tonight sees the Wednesday night tour go to Phil’s. There is no interesting football on tonight apart from if you like Scottish football as Aberdeen is playing Dunfermline on Sky in the Scottish Cup. As this will be no interest to anyone attending tonight the decision has been made to watch the film “Mike Bassett football manager”. Will this film live up to the expectation that has been made about it?

Wednesday 11th March

Tonight sees the Wednesday night tour venture to Brins for another night of Champions League football. As the host is a United fan it’s bound to be United v Inter Milan watched. Will this game be as exciting as last nights Liverpool v Real Madrid where Liverpool won 4-0 on the night and 5-0 on aggregate to reach the quarter finals. Who says Liverpool are a boring side to watch!

Chelsea also booked their place in the last 8 with a 3-2 win over Juventus.

Will Ferguson’s poor record against Jose Mourinho continue tonight because the Scot has only 1 win in 13 attempts against the Portuguese?

Darren's Birthday

The night started with Mr Keane coming round early to prepare the evening feast. We then sat down to watch a terrible game of football - Blackburn v Everton. This was a boring game which we struggled to stay awake for but were eventually rescued by the refreshments which were served just after half time ended which was close to a world record. This Chilli was super hot and had everybody gasping for more beer which is never a bad thing!!! It was then announced that it was Darren's birthday, much to everybodies surprise. Luckily Brin came fully prepared with a card and cake which can be seen being presented on the video clip below. The game ended 0-0 which was an indication of how bad it was.
