Watching Champions League football in Australia means getting up ready for a 6.45am kick off. Of course you are at the mercy of the Australian broadcaster SBS as to what game they want to show. After a couple of weeks it's clear they have a preference for what they call the EPL, unless Barcelona have an attractive game.
It's the day before we leave Australia, and it's the chance to watch Manchester United v FC Basle. The Australian analysts and of course the English commentators all expect and want United to get the point necessary for qualification.
I'm sure however back home there will be some rejoicing as United lost 2-1. Now all those United fans in the South East will have something to do on Thursday evenings as they negotiate their way through the Europa League. In terms of viewing figures it will provide a bonus for C5.
Basle of course wore red and blue stripes ,the same strip as Barcelona, perhaps Ferguson can make an excuse out of that.
