previews and comments and early matches tonight
1640: "Atletico are very much off form in La Liga and indeed the cups, they lost at home to Athletic Bilbao (La Liga's Middlesbrough in my opinion) at the weekend. Bolton will win 2-1."

1645: "The internet is the past, Everton are the future. The Toffees to ease through after a great result last week."

1650: "Nobody here in Norway is giving their champions Brann a chance tonight. It was hard enough before the first leg but now its impossible according to the locals."

1652: "Just been made an uncle for the first time! The young lad born on the same day as a European win for Spurs and three days before he witnesses his first trophy at The Lane. Young Harry is the sign of a new era in N17!"

1656: "Your boss is an Everton fan? I thought he was a Barnsley fan?! Or was that one-day-only? And 1632: A Sheffield Utd trial was good enough for Diego Maradona..."

1700: "Here comes another impotent performance from Rangers. Down 1-0 by half-time, apologetically put on another striker with five minutes to go and tumble out. How depressing!"
Bob McInroy, Ayr, via text
1702: "I'm twiddling my thumbs at work and crossing my toes. If Spurs pick up any injuries tonight I'll cut them all off."
Mark, London, via text
1707: "If Bayern lose tonight i'll not eat any bacon or drink any tea for a month."

1711: GOAL Panathinaikos 1-0 Rangers
The Greeks go close twice inside a minute, before Ioannis Goumas scores a truly memorable goal, turning 35 yards out and, in the same movement, rifling the ball with minimum backlift into the top corner past a flailing Allan McGregor.
1715: "Alright. If Aberdeen make it, I'll be pleasantly surprised, and have a pint with my lunch tomorrow. Fingers crossed then."

1717: Panathinaikos are playing some gorgeous football here and Rangers are struggling to stay with them. Could be a long evening for Walter Smith and his charges.
1722: Tell you what, this boy Giannis Goumas can't half hit a football. He volleys in another fearsome strike from 15 yards, but this time Allan McGregor is equal to it and pushes it round the post. Rangers can hardly get out of their own half.
1724: The Greeks are up for this. The crowd noise is phenomenal and Rangers need to quieten them, sharpish.
1726: "The Greek fans are chanting something really loud. I have no idea what they're saying but it is beginning to scare me."
