1905: "The most exciting games in store today will certainly be Werder Bremen's trip to Jose Mourinho's Internazionale and Atletico's hosting of Marseille. I expect goals, lots of goals. I expect Liverpool to kill PSV off in the first half."

Still at work because you've been spent the last few minutes coming up with puns?
