Don't think I've missed anything.

Predictions?

Chelsea need to win to finish as group leaders...they don't need the Germans losing

Go FC Basel!

Dortmund will be interesting

Predictions:

Marseille to draw against Arsenal.
Celtic and Ajax to win.
Zenit 3 - 4 Atletico.

Napoli v BVB is a must watch imo. There's a chance the game will be boring but I have a feeling it'll deliver some excitement.

Goatdrid will probbaly field some of our youngsters against Gala, so I'm excited to see how they do.

Napoli v Dortmund was good and entertaining, but since this one is Dortmund v Napoli, I just think the Germans will be too good for Napoli and win rather easily.

Even if you do think that it's still worth watching, because a) BVB winning is fun to see because of how they play and b) it would be fun to see if they didn't win because well that was the "expected" outcome.

Marseille is fielding a B-team: no Thauvin, Valbuena, Payet or Fanni. Easy game for Arsenal imo.

Fuk fox,I wish ESPN had cl again.Time to watch 240p streams.

Ajax 2-1 against Barca definitely a shock result.

Dortmund 3-1 Napoli
Arsenal 2-0 Marseille.

98% of a chance that Dortmund will beat Marseille in the last match. Napoli will then need to win by 3 goals or more to qualify. If Dortmund fails to win against Marseille then Napoli will just need to win. If somehow Marseille win against Dortmund then Napoli will need a draw.

In simple words. Napoli MUST win against Arsenal to have any chance of going through. Arsenal 90% qualified. So are Dortmund

Just wonderful of Barca to lose vs this mediocre Ajax, just when we needed them to win. Quite a clueless side in the CL without Messi leading their line.

As for Marseille's group, its over as Dortmund will not lose to this Marseille in Germany while Benitez always struggles vs Wenger. Dortmund and Arsenal the group winners.

Kaka our MOTM for the 7th time as he lead Milan to another win, at the heart of all our creative plays. Was the only one unperturbed by the cauldron atmosphere of Celtic park and served testament through his fortitude.

Courtois's mistake was just pathetic

Tell me something, which game was more important and entertaining:
Arsenal-Marseille
Ajax-Barcelona OR
Dortmund-Napoli

I don't know how the channels pick games for telecast :-s

I am guessing you are talking about Bangladesh. First priority is always given to PL clubs and Madrid/Barca as they have the most fans.

And Basel did the double on Chelsea

Good luck to Chelsea in the knock-out stages, though
