Man U - Celtic  2:45 @ ESPN2

Jedi, Dec, you guys catching this one today?

Btw, I love how close the crowd is at Old Trafford... I'd say it's definitely my favorite stadium, though I've only seen one professional match in my life and that was at Sevilla's stadium, which is pretty old and primitive, for lack of better adjectives.

[Declan]

sevilla took down stuttgart pretty hard in the uefa group stage

naw i didnt get to catch that match... my channels are different in Kanadia

[jedifunk]

missed that, but did catch all the EPL & serie a action on FSC this weekend.

[mattstick]

Celtic looked funny in yellow jerseys, I was kinda confused.

[jedifunk]

forza milan!

look for milan to go top the table today after winning vs. napoli!

we haven't been top in a couple years now, and its about time

Any interesting matches this week, Jedi?

[jedifunk]

yes!!! will we get to see them here in the states?  probably not.

in the german bundesliga, you've got bayern munich vs. hoffenheim... this is going to be a sick match... hoffenheim just got promoted to the top flight for the 1st time in their history, and they are in 1st place, 3 points clear of bayern!!!!

they play and all out attack style and have been crushing everyone this season.  i think their goal differential is something like 20+ already, and its not even half way through the season yet!

in la liga, we've got a couple a really tasty matchups... barca v. valencia is gonna be great!  as barca has been rolling all season, and valencia sits in 3rd only 3pts back.  also real madrid v. sevilla... both are still in the hunt, but have fallen a bit behind, and each got thumped this last week, and desperately need the win... so that will be a good one as well.

in france, nice vs. marseille... they are tied for 3rd spot at the moment and looking for a spot in europe.

in the EPL, i think everton v. aston villa could be a good match, as villa tries to keep up their hopes of making top 4.

i think this week in the serie a could be kinda ho hum, as none of the big clubs are playing each other.

in argentina, boca juniors looks to wrap up yet another title with a win vs. gimnasia la plata.

that is also the case in brazil as sao paulo look to wrap up the title with a win on sunday.

so there you have it!  my quick synopsis for the week.  now if you get FSC like i do, you're most likely looking at getting some EPL matches and serie a

it looks like we'll get the everton v. villa match! as well as arsenal v. wigan.... as well as man u v. sunderland... we'll also get milan v. catania & lazio v. inter in the serie a.

[MiamiPhish]

Not so lucky, I don't think.

I've got a Chelsea vs. Arsenal match on the tele right now, but I'm pretty sure its an EPL re-run.
Also, there's a Stuttgard vs. Schalke match -  but I can see this is from November 30.

Blahhhhhhhhh

Thanks for the update/info though, I'll be interested to hear how it all works out.
