Right, just dropping in for a quick update.Stayed up last night to see the Man Utd - Kiev match, my first full, live Champions League match. It was good seeing the way we dominated, but then again Kiev came to Old Trafford with 'damage control' the only thing on their minds. They didn't start any of their 3 best attackers, for example, and only brought on 2 of em at half-time, by which we were already 2-0 up.It was good seeing Pique score, and Tevez's goal was a United trademark - quick, incisive counter-attacking. Rooney's goal was all down to Nani's brilliant cross, and Ronaldo's was plain individual skill. We actually could have gotten 2 or 3 more goals, the biggest waste being Tevez taking too long to set up the shot for himself and the defender managing to rush back to tackle, but still, 4-0 is great.We're through to the knock-out stages now, but it'd be good if we could confirm top spot with a win against Sporting Lisbon in our next CL match. It'll give us an easier time; I don't think any of the big names will be qualifying only in 2nd this year.Ok then, I'm off. Studying for the MCQs begins tomorrow. Till next time then.Anonyman!
