UEFA Champions League: Manchester United vs. Marseille Live Blog

Manchester United take on Olympic Marseille in the second leg of the Round of 16 in the UEFA Champions League at Old Trafford Tuesday night. The two teams played out to a 0-0 draw three weeks ago at the Stade Velodrome in France. 

The aggregate score simply means that the winner of tonight's match will move on to the quarterfinals. However, Marseille simply need a scored draw to advance on the away goals rule. 

The last time these two teams met, Manchester United were incredibly underwhelming, with Marseille being the better team. However, things will be different for United this time around with their home fans behind them. 

Follow along with all the action right here as there will be updates throughout the match.

Chelsea fit and focused for Champions League assault

By Mitch Phillips

16:10 GMT, Tue 15 Mar 2011

LONDON, March 15 (Reuters) - After a dark, depressing winter Chelsea have emerged into the spring energised, focused and fully fit for their annual assault on the knockout stage of the Champions League.

UK Football

After a series of poor results, culminating in their exit from the FA Cup after losing at home on penalties to Everton, Chelsea rediscovered their form with a 2-0 away win over FC Copenhagen, who they face on Wednesday in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.

In their next game they beat Manchester United 2-1 in the league and followed up with a 3-1 away win over Blackpool.

Their Cup exit meant they had last weekend off and they head into Wednesday's game with barely an injury to speak of.

"The game in Copenhagen was an important one, we played well and took a lot of confidence and were able to repeat that against Manchester United so it was a turning point," Ancelotti told reporters on Tuesday.

"We have used this time well to prepare the team; to stay focused, to improve our condition and our confidence and everything was okay in training.

"It's fantastic for us to have all the players fit and I want to maintain a good motivation for everyone because we need everyone in the last games of the Premier League and the Champions League.

"Our confidence now after the victories is really better and we want to maintain this and if it's possible, improve."

Chelsea play Manchester City in the league at the weekend and though they trail leaders United by nine points they have a game in hand and still have to play Alex Ferguson's side.

 

REALISTIC TARGET

However, the Champions League looks a more realistic target, especially with the advantage in their Copenhagen tie firmly in their favour after Nicolas Anelka's double in the first leg.

Chelsea are in the last 16 for the eighth successive season and bidding for make the semi-finals for the sixth time in that period. In the last three years they have lost to the eventual winners so, assuming they progress on Wednesday, they will have a keen eye on Friday's quarter-final draw.

The Londoners were knocked out by Barcelona two years ago, albeit after outplaying them in their semi-final, but Ancelotti said he did not fear drawing the Spanish favourites again should his side progress.

"I hope we're in the draw on Friday. It is very important to reach the quarter-finals, though we have to pay a lot of attention because Copenhagen are a good team, with good organisation," he said.

"Barcelona are the best team in Europe but in the Champions League you can use your strength and power and different skills," he said. "Every game is a different story."

With David Luiz ineligible Branislav Ivanovic is likely to start at centre back alongside John Terry. Alex, who has not played since November because of a knee injury, is fit but Ancelotti said he would not be involved until Sunday's game against City on Sunday.

Yossi Benayoun, out since September with an Achilles injury, will also return to training later this week, though his return to the first team is some way off.

Scottish Cup: David Goodwillie Turns On The Style

Enthralling cup tie at Tannadice today with Dundee United twice coming back from a goal down to secure a 2-2 draw.

John Sutton at the double for Motherwell with Jon Daly taking it to a replay.

But the pick of the bunch was this first half equaliser from David Goodwillie.

The replay will, of course, add to United's fixture backlog. Apparently it's set for 29th March.

With Inverness v Celtic postponed and Brechin and St Johnstone and St Mirren and Aberdeen drawing, all eight quarter finalists will be in the pot for tomorrow's semi final draw. A little historical curiosity that, I'm not aware of it having happened before.

Capello: Arsenal youngster Wilshere future England captain

Arsenal

Barcelona

England coach Fabio Capello says Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere is a future Three Lions captain.

Yesterday, Capello was willing to confirm that Wilshere is not only going to be a regular selection from now on but an eventual England captain.

"He plays without fear, with confidence and I never saw someone so young be a leader on the pitch," Capello said.

"I'm sure he will be a captain but it will be the choice of another England manager. He still needs more experience, but he is a top-level player now. After [Arsenal's victory] against Barcelona, he has arrived."

Will Hoskins can help sinking Bristol Rovers to find new buoyancy | Scott Anthony

It might be too late to save the Pirates' League One season but a potential talisman can lead the way to calmer waters

There comes a point in a season when fans have to salvage what they can, when there's nothing to look forward to and you have to start looking backwards for something to savour. A run in the Johnson's Paint Trophy? A good performance in the League Cup? Your rivals getting relegated? A Football League award? The knowledge that the new manager will get time to assess the squad ahead of the summer?

Take the case of Bristol Rovers ? the Pirates are sinking as surely as a Spanish galleon in 1588. Despite sacking Dave Penney, over the past few weeks they've had to watch relegation rivals such as Dagenham and Redbridge push their way up the form table, while they have taken some savage beatings from the likes of Walsall (6-1) and Leyton Orient (4-1).

The Tannoy announcer at the Memorial Stadium would have you believe that the Gasheads have 10 games to save their season. Unfortunately those games include matches against Southampton, Bournemouth, Peterborough, Charlton and Sheffield Wednesday. Better to prepare the relatives for the worst.

At least in the new club captain Will Hoskins there is some light at the end of the League One tunnel. You'd be forgiven for thinking that the tale of the 24-year-old Hoskins, who has scored 15 goals in 32 games, is a familiar one. After all, one of the cliches of a relegation season is that some youngsters get thrown into the team and, shorn of expectations, they come good.

But Hoskins first announced himself as one of the Championship's brightest prospects with a brace for Rotherham against Wigan Athletic back in 2006. On the pitch Hoskins is a striker who steals sharply into smart positions, but off it poor relationships with a succession of Terriers managers stalled his development until Aidy Boothroyd beat off interest from West Bromwich, Celtic, Everton, Reading, Wolves, Ipswich and Nottingham Forest to take him to the then Premier League club Watford in a �1.2m deal in 2007.

The move proved as ill-fated as Watford's brief stay in the top flight, but Hoskins remained in demand. Despite being loaned out to Millwall and Nottingham Forest, a permanent move failed to materialise until he joined Bristol Rovers in the summer.

Goals have flowed ever since and Rovers' new player-manager, Stuart Campbell, moved swiftly to make the former England youth striker captain after taking over. It might be that Hoskins finally commands the whole-hearted confidence he evidently needs to prosper.

A good run in the JPS? Rovers lost on penalties to Exeter. A decent performance in the League Cup? Rovers were beaten 6-1 by Oxford. Rivals humiliated? After a shocking start neighbours Bristol City have managed to find the safer waters of mid-table in the Championship. A Football League award? Bristol Rovers are not one of the 34 nominated clubs.

But if Hoskins can become the club's talisman, a new Rickie Lambert forged from the flames, then Rovers fans can look forward to a promotion charge next year. This campaign might not be salvageable but there looks to be at least one good reason to renew the season ticket.

Manchester United: How Will They Fill Edwin van der Sar's Boots?

On the back of a solid performance against Marseille and his Man of the Match outing against Arsenal last weekend, it is hard to believe that Edwin van der Sar is entering his final two months as a professional.

United fans chanted “one more year” during the Dutchman’s sterling showing in the quarterfinal of the FA Cup, but Fergie’s No. 1 is adamant that his decision to retire is final.

An outstanding issue is prevalent in Van der Sar’s decision, with his wife Annemarie suffering a stroke last year.

“Let's just say that it was playing on my mind from the moment Annemarie had her stroke. She has fought back from it. We decided on another year in England and thus to stay at Manchester United,” claimed the Old Trafford favourite.

 

Schmeichel’s Absence: The Lost Years

United fans are anticipating a similar void to be left from when legendary goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel left in 1999.

After winning the historic treble, Manchester United were undoubtedly the best football team in the world, but without Schmeichel, they suffered and steadily slumped defensively.

Despite winning the league in 2000 and 2001, the goalkeeping position was never really filled until Van der Sar’s arrival.

In the 2000 season, Ferguson called on the services of Mark Bosnich and Massimo Taibi, who would go onto either make calamitous errors or little deference between the sticks for the Red Devils.

Fergie then obtained the services of Fabian Barthez, the World Cup-winning French goalkeeper.

Barthez was incredibly athletic, but his height constantly let him down. High shots generally caused the Frenchman problems.  

United missed out on four league titles between 2001 and 2006 in their search for a new goalkeeper, missing out on three in a row between 2003 and 2006—the most consecutive years without a Premier League title in club history.

 

Van der Sar’s Impact

When the Flying Dutchman first arrived at Old Trafford, fans generally thought he was a bit too old and figured he would only feature for a year or two.

In his first season, Van der Sar performed very well, but United still missed out on the Premier League title, with Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea beating them to the chase.

The next three seasons were all United’s, with Van der Sar playing a pivotal role.

Winning a place in the PFA Team of the Year in 2007, he showed his class and saved three penalties in United’s 16th Community Shield win against Chelsea three months later.

In the 2007-2008 season, Van der Sar was saving everything and was an integral part of the team that won the double. Long lives the memory of his fine save from Anelka’s penalty in Moscow to secure United another Champions League.

In the 2008-2009 season, Van der Sar helped the red side of Manchester to their 11th Premier League title, setting an all time record for clean sheets, going 1,311 minutes without conceding a goal.

This outstanding achievement won the Dutchman the Barclays Golden Glove award as well as the Best European Goalkeeper honour, which he won for the second time—the previous award coming 14 years earlier with Ajax.

 

The Changing of the Guard

As United fans watch with baited breath as their team go in search of another treble, every game on the way seems to show proof that Van der Sar is still very much in his prime despite his age.

Rumours began to circulate immediately after his retirement was announced at the end of January, with many keepers being considered as possible replacements for the Old Trafford legend.

Among them are Manuel Neuer, Igor Akinfeev and David De Gea, all of whom should cost United approximately £20 million.

There is no doubting the quality of these players, but similarly there is no doubt that when Fergie signed Bosnich and Barthez, they too were regarded as highly gifted goalkeepers.

In his six years with Manchester United, Edwin van der Sar, at the age of 40, has become a United legend. That's not something they exactly grant on arrival at Old Trafford.

The next in line will have awfully big boots to fill.

Football League: Your thoughts

Forest's unbeaten home run comes to an end, QPR leave it late; Leeds and Plymouth bounce back

? Click here for all today's results

? The biggest story in the Championship was the ending of Nottingham Forest's 36-match unbeaten run at the City Ground when they were defeated 1-0 by Hull City. Forest were lucky to escape with a point at Middlesbrough in midweek but were undone today by Matty Fryatt's winner. Billy Davies threw on forwards to try to get the equaliser but Hull held firm and reduced Forest to long-range efforts. The Forest goalkeeper, Lee Camp, was sent up front for a corner in the dying seconds but to no avail.

? Swansea, so impressive against Leeds last weekend, were defeated 1-0 by Scunthorpe at Glanford Park with Joe Garner, a forward on loan from Nottingham Forest, scoring his fourth goal in six games for the Iron. The victory put United only a point behind Crystal Palace in 21st place with a game in hand and Swansea remained in second before this evening's Cardiff match, eight points behind QPR who waited and waited for Ishmael Miller's late goal to give them a 1-0 win over Leicester.

? Leeds's strengths and weaknesses were both on show at Elland Road where they defeated Doncaster Rovers 5-2. Max Gradel and Jonny Howson scored two apiece, to take Leeds's home league tally to 40, a Championship high. The two conceded, however, took opposition goals to 31, also a Championship high. Burnley's 1-0 win over Palace kept them four points behind Leeds in sixth, but the Clarets have two games in hand.

? There were raised eyebrows when Brian McDermott signed Ian Harte for Reading last August. The one-paced veteran defender had enjoyed a remarkable season at Carlisle but many thought his best days were a distant memory. He scored two of those trademark curled free-kicks today in the Royals' 5-2 victory over Middlesbrough. Reading remain in 10th but a play-off place is not out of the question.

? Liam Bridcutt scored a late winner for Brighton who looked to have thrown away three points when Carlisle scored an injury-time equaliser at the Withdean. The 4-3 victory keeps them four points in front of Bournemouth who hammered Oldham 3-0.

? The performance of the day came at Hillsborough where Plymouth Argyle threw off the travails of an awful fortnight to beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-4. Joe Mason scored twice for the Pilgrims who remain bottom after the 10-point penalty imposed for going into administration, six points from safety. Dagenham & Redbridge leapfrogged Bristol Rovers with a 2-0 away win while Paul Hart's first game as Swindon's Red Adair ended in a 0-0 draw with Walsall.

? Bottom club Stockport got a winner four minutes into added time thanks to Greg Tansey to beat Oxford United 2-1 at Edgeley Park. Barnet remain above them on goal difference and Burton's 4-1 defeat at Crewe leaves them with a one-point cushion above the drop zone, though they do have six games in hand over the Hatters.

? Chesterfield's 3-0 victory at Cheltenham extended their lead at the top of League Two to 11 points after Wycombe were held 2-2 by Aldershot. Bury have moved into second place, Ryan Lowe scoring for the ninth match in succession in a 3-0 win at Hereford.

Scottish Football Tonight: Home and Away

Europa League: PSV Eindhoven v Rangers

A confident Rangers flew out to the Netherlands yesterday promising to attack, attack, attack against Eindhoven this evening.

No.

They didn't.

Stressing the size of the challenge, the injuries in the squad and even one or two off field concerns, Walter Smith emphasised Rangers' underdog status against the Dutch league leaders.

So we can expect the parking of Brian Souter's entire fleet as Rangers revert to the hardy old European model.

Or, as they're in the Benelux region, perhaps they'll just build a dike along the 18 yard line.

That would, at least, give Davie Weir something to lean on.

Weir has actually said he might not retire at the end of the season. If he is to stay at Ibrox then Rangers will be erecting their famous defensive wall about one yard from the goal line by this stage next year.

Look, we know what to expect from Rangers in this one.

PSV would appear to be a sterner challenge than Sporting were in the last round. But Rangers are adept at this kind of game. So it's up to the hosts to hurdle the tactical obstacles Walter Smith puts in their way.

PSV have been scoring a lot of goals recently so in all likelihood this is going to be another in Rangers' series of siege like European nights.

Funnily enough, PSV have never beaten a Scottish side in European competiton, losing to both Rangers and Dundee United.

But got to back PSV to win this one. But I'm not sure they'll kill off the tie tonight, leaving Rangers down but not out.

Dundee United v Hamilton

Buoyed by their recent run of form and confident in their goalscoring ability, Hamilton will be looking forward launching themselves at this game.

No.

They probably won't.

Billy Reid's men are winning some plaudits for their approach and their performances in a few recent games.

But they remain as blunt as an antique butter knife and combine their impotence with an unfortunate habit of conceding important goals.

It's a mix that explains their current plight. Bottom of the league and looking doomed.

These two drew the last time they met. But United started off their run of home games with a win against Aberdeen on Monday.

They should get another tonight. Home win.

WTF Bayern !

I haven't watched the Man United game yet. I just came out from watching Bayern - Inter. And I am flabbergasted. I'm not going to talk about how good Inter was ( they weren't!!). I'm not going to talk about the off side goal Eto'o scored in the first minutes.

What was Bayern doing!??!!!??!?!!??

In the second half, they played crap. Not bad. Simply shite. No work ethics Barca-style. No pass and move Ajax style. No real desire ( Inter-style).

I've seen so many screw ups in the second half, it's unbelievable. There are only two options: either Bayern was bribed at half

Make Mine A Pint

A fitting guest post for a Friday as Blair Grant goes in search of the perfect pre-match pint.

My own rule for away games is to avoid windowless pubs. Safer, I always think, to crash through the window onto the pavement than to bounce off a wall into whatever melee you've just been thrown from.

More from Blair at A Place in the Stand. The choice of illustration is his and his alone.

Jubilant scenes as Hibernian fans celebrate their last Scottish Cup final victory

You need to plan ahead. It really is as simple as that. There?s no point going all that way to be faced the ubiquitous offering of Tennent?s lager, while the barmaid attempts to justify the less than ample selection, with: ?Ooooh, but we?ve also got the Ice Cold variety on tap, see?? She says it with hope in her voice, anticipating your response. A notable hush falls over the pub. You know that she wants you to order it; the glass is in her left hand, while her right is already hovering over the pump. She wants you to smile, then with one proud breath, say: ?Four Tennent?s Ice Cold please, and one for yourself.? You stick with a bottle of lager.

The pre-match pint (never just the one in my case) is for many, part and parcel of a match day ritual. I?ve known men and women who won?t go to certain establishments in Glasgow because they don?t serve pints of ?heavy?, the mainstay of East coast regulars of a certain generation.

Attending a game with my then girlfriend a few years ago, I took her for a few pre-matchers in one of the less salubrious establishments in Perth. I was met with this retort on ordering her drink of choice, by a puzzled barman who shouted over the din: ?Pinot Grigio? Eh... is that a type of wine, like??

If need be you make do with a Weatherspoons, as prominent and as much a part of the generic British city centre these days as a McDonald's 'restaurant'. It?s 10.55am, too early for the Saturday shoppers and you and your mates find a seat by the window. There?s a mixed crowd with home and away fans in equal numbers as you make your way to the bar. The place is awash with senior citizens who drink alone or in groups with their coats on, flicking over creased day-old newspapers and staring idly into space. Wetherspoons supremo, Tim Martin has found a niche: provider of cheap fried breakfasts and even cheaper drink for the masses.

Sometimes you get lucky. A trip to Aberdeen or Edinburgh when on entering a pub, your focus is instantly drawn to the sprawling bar. They have Staropramen and Heineken on tap, and what?s this? Beck?s Vier! Oh joy of joys, a pub which sells Beck?s Vier on draught. So what if you stick to the floor with every step, or if the toilet door last saw active service a decade ago. Beck?s on tap is the pinnacle, that?s what you?re aiming for.

Should that man really be lying that way on the ground? Has anybody noticed the overpowering stench of sick near the quiz machine and those pigeon-repelling barbs on the window are coated with three month?s worth of shit and downy feathers. Wait... is that on the inside of the window? But you quickly reassure yourself that it's fine; it doesn?t matter as you have your Beck?s Vier. The bubbles hit the back of your throat and the world is a wonderful place, as you settle down with your pint and everything seems that little bright brighter.

Sip. You?re not overly optimistic with the jam-packed schedule and the defensive frailties were really evident during that last game. Sip. Yeah, it really does look likely that he?ll leave in the summer, but the youth team winger is supposed to be a real prospect. Sip. He hasn?t scored all season but it?s not his fault he?s not been given a solid run in the team. You just wait until next season, he?ll come good, just watch.

By the fifth or sixth pint all is well and the game can?t come soon enough.

Then it happens. Through the dusty haze you spot a jukebox, bathed in sunlight as if calling out to you. Why is Wham emanating from the speakers, who put that on? You reach into your pocket and retrieve the necessary loose change before squeezing past the punters as drink spills on the floor, dribbling abjectly onto the already soiled carpet. Maybe that?s why it?s so sticky? You mumble apologies allied with the compulsory tap on the arm: ?Sorry, mate, didn?t see you there.?

He understands. He?s seen the jukebox too. And all of a sudden it?s a foot race across the busy floor, but with guile and the promise of better tunes to come, you extricate yourself from the group near the bar stools, reaching the jukebox in time. Primal Scream, The Jam, The Stone Roses. All dependable choices for the archetypal match day experience. And you hear the music and you drink your pint and everything falls into place and we?re going to win today, I know it.

United manager Ferguson handed five-match ban by FA

15:39 GMT, Wed 16 Mar 2011

LONDON, March 16 (Reuters) - Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson has been banned from the touchline for five matches, the Football Association said on Wednesday.

UK Football

Ferguson, charged with misconduct after making comments about referee Martin Atkinson during post-match interviews following the 2-1 defeat at Chelsea on March 1, was also fined 30,000 pounds ($48,220), the FA said in a statement.

The ban starts on March 22.

An Independent Regulatory Commission banned Ferguson for three games with the other two matches added on after a suspended ban was invoked from a similar offence in October.

Ferguson has 48 hours to appeal.

I'd love to see Dunne sacked, the real world and round-up

I'm a cynical bastard sometimes and I know it might wind a few of you up and I know that it doesn't do me any favours, most of the time, but I really do want to see Richard Dunne sacked today.

I want to see him sacked if half of what I've read about what happened is true and if he was given a written warning last time out. I want to see my football club send the clearest possible message, because if half of what I've read about what happened is true, then I'm afraid to say it, but there is no place for him at Aston Villa.
