You could be right.  The TiVo just says "Premiereship Soccer" so I don't really pay attention to what channel its on.

Bummer.  I like Feyenoord.  This was one of the more promising matches of the Round of 32.

 Feyenoord thrown out of UEFA CupAssociated Press
 
 NYON, Switzerland -- The Dutch club Feyenoord was expelled from the UEFA Cup on Friday because of crowd disturbances.  
 
 Feyenoord was set to meet Tottenham in the round of 32 of Europe's second-tier club competition. UEFA officials will meet Monday to decide whether the English club will have to play another opponent instead.
 
 Feyenoord fans fought and smashed windows at Nancy before ripping out and throwing seats during a 3-0 loss on Nov. 30 in the French city.

[Barcelona]

Always great to see Mourinho's Chelsea lose a game. But I am bit worried to play Liverpool in the last 16 of the Champions League, while they can badly lose two games in a row at home against Arsenal, the following week they can easily beat a team like Chelsea. Barcelona needs to respect Liverpool as much as Man. United, Arsenal or Chelsea.
