 | 606: DEBATE |
To get involved use 606 or text us your views & comments on 81111. (Not all contributions can be used)2151: That's your lot. Thanks as always for the 606 and text chat. I'll see you on Saturday for Premier League action - when hopefully the hamsters will be up and running again.
2146: Bolton keeper Ali Al-Habsi is the best of the British-based players in tonight's games according to you - and that's not surprising given the saves I have just seen him make. He's on 7.53 in the interactive player rater. Tottenham's best player is Steed Malbranque on 6.90.
2142: Just to clear this up, Bolton, who have now played all their games, will qualify unless Aris Salonika draw with Bayern Munich and Braga beat Red Star in which case all four teams will be on six points and it'll be calculator time. Get it? Not sure I do...
2137: FULL-TIME Red Star Belgrade 0-1 Bolton
An under-strength Bolton secure a fine away win thanks to Gavin McCann's goal at the end of the first-half. That means Bolton are top of the group - but it could still go down to goal difference or even goals scored.
2136: Spurs keeper Paul Robinson rushes up to the referee with a collection of items he has collected from his penalty area. We may be hearing more about this.
2135: FULL-TIME Anderlecht 1-1 Tottenham
An unconvincing Spurs are through to the last 32 after Dimitar Berbatov's penalty levelled the score.
2131: After a goalmouth scramble, both Michael Dawson and Didier Zokora lie injured in the penalty area and it quickly becomes evident they have been hit by objects thrown from the crowd. Both are fine to continue.
2129: Anderlecht are pressing for the win they need to be sure of progressing from Group G. The hosts have a corner but Pascal Chimbonda clears.
2127: Red Star Belgrade are toiling against Bolton - who could end this evening top of Group F but still not be sure of progressing to the last 32. Weird...
2124: We're in to the closing minutes in Belgrade and Brussels. Jermain Defoe's deflected shot is tipped over by Daniel Zitka.
2120: Again, apologies for the lack of information about the Red Star v Bolton game. Still no pictures - but no more goals.
2116: Tottenham are saved by Paul Robinson as the ball flashes across the penalty area to Cyril Thereau, who looks set to sidefoot home before the keeper gets back to claw the ball away.
2113: Anderlecht and Tottenham were clearly saving up the excitement for the second-half. Let's hope it continues... As it stands, Tottenham will qualify.
2111: GOAL Anderlecht 1-1 Tottenham
Dimitar Berbatov nonchalantly steps up to dispatch the penalty.
2110: But wait... penalty to Tottenham. Steed Malbranque produces a stunning pass for Jermaine Jenas and he is brought down by Jelle Van Damme - although the defender seemed to get a bit of the ball.
2108: GOAL Anderlecht 1-0 Tottenham
Shambles from Tottenham. The ball comes in from the right and evades both Michael Dawson and Jermaine Jenas before Bart Goor tucks it away.
2102: Anderlecht's Jan Polak falls dramatically to the ground under the lighest of touches - but he is quickly up again to remonstrate wildly with the referee about not getting a free-kick. He gets a yellow card instead.
2100: And now Tottenham boss Juande Ramos makes his move. Skipper Robbie Keane is off, Dimitar Berbatov is on.
2056: Anderlecht make their first change as Nicolas Frutos trudges off to be replaced by Frenchman Cyril Thereau.
2054: Makeshift centre-half Didier Zokora produces a brilliantly-timed tackle to rob Mbo Mpenza as the Anderlecht striker races into the penalty area.
2050: Now then, a few observant people on 606 are wondering why Red Star don't appear in the Group F table on the BBC website. That's because we are using their anglicised name but the people who provide our stats are using their Serbian name Crvena Zvezda.
2047: Spurs threaten straight away as Robbie Keane's shot-on-the-turn is saved by Anderlecht keeper Daniel Zitka. Darren Bent can't put away the rebound.
2045: Here come the teams in Brussels. Still no pictures from Belgrade I'm afraid. The hamster's gone to the pub.
2043: Here's a fact for you: the restaurant at Anderlecht's stadium has got a Michelin star. Eat that, Delia.
2040: News just in... Nicolas Frutos' "goal" was disallowed for pushing, not offside. So not so much of a let-off for Spurs.
2037: "Huddlestone has done NOTHING this game, Jenas has been OK but has offered nothing going forward, our best player attacking wise has been super Steed. I hope he brings on Boateng for Jenas."

2034: Time for a permutation update... Bolton will be on the verge of qualification if they hold on for victory. Tottenham are fine cos they only need a point.
2032: HALF-TIME Red Star Belgrade 0-1 Bolton
2031: HALF-TIME Anderlecht 0-0 Tottenham
2030: GOAL Red Star Belgrade 0-1 Bolton
Bolton's corner is fumbled allowing Stelios to tee up Gavin McCann, whose drive puts Bolton ahead just before half-time.
2028: A let-off for Spurs as Nicolas Frutos finishes from a great cross but is flagged offside. He was onside.
2027: Ooh, a bit of excitement in Belgium! Marcin Wasilewski easily wrongfoots Lee Young-Pyo but his low shot is saved by Paul Robinson, who also scrambles away Nicolas Frutos' follow-up.
2026: Tottenham's Jermaine Jenas is the first man into the referee's book for a sliding challenge on Lucas Biglia after he loses control of the ball in midfield.
2023: The star of the show in Belgrade is Bolton's understudy goalkeeper Ali Al-Habsi who has made two excellent saves in the first-half. So says the man on the radio.
2022: "There is such a lack of concentration going on from both sets of players, it's scarcely believable."
BBC Radio 5 Live's Darren Fletcher on Anderlecht v Tottenham
2020: Guiaro Ronaldo equalises for Aris Salonika against Braga in the other game in Bolton's group. If results stay the same, that would be a little boost for Bolton.
2016: Does anyone not agree with Derek from Nottingham below? This Anderlecht-Tottenham game is hardly setting the pulses racing and Bolton-Red Star might be a rip-roarer for all I know - but I'm not getting that impression from the radio updates.
2010: "Bolton playing their second team in Europe. That's says it all about what's wrong with the Uefa Cup group stages. They're boring! Let's get back to decent teams playing each other home and away."
Derek, Nottingham, via text on 81111
2008: Tottenham midfielder Jermaine Jenas tries one from distance but his daisy-cutter is easily collected by Daniel Zitka.
2003: Due to technical issues, I am unable to see pictures of Red Star v Bolton at the moment. I am trying to get the hamster to run faster but he doesn't seem to be interested. So apologies if you're short on Bolton chat.
1959: Dejan Milovanovic's free-kick drifts wide as Bolton keeper Ali Al-Habsi stands and watches.
1955: Roland Linz puts Braga ahead against Aris Salonika in the other game in Bolton's group. Should the scores stay the same, qualification will be out of Bolton's hands. In Tottenham's group, Getafe lead Aalborg 1-0 thanks to Hernandez Pablo's goal.
1951: Pascal Chimbonda fizzes in a low cross from the right which is well collected by Anderlecht keeper Daniel Zitka.
1946: Tottenham's Steed Malbranque has the first shot in Brussels, an overhead kick which goes wide.
1945: And we're under way.
1942: "I have to admit, I don't understand sometimes why teams play a weakened side in Europe. Bolton played all season in the Premier League with the aim of qualifying for the Uefa Cup, then when they get there, they hardly bother with it!!"

1939: This is just for Reddevilyardie on 606. Bolton also left Andy O'Brien and Ricardo Gardner at home.
1937: "Bolton will draw 1-1 both goals in the second half. Tottenham will win 2-1 with a late goal by Keane".

1933: TEAM NEWS Red Star v Bolton
Bolton manager Gary Megson makes six changes from the team that lost to Liverpool as he focuses on the Premier League. Nicolas Anelka, Kevin Davies, Kevin Nolan and Jussi Jaaskelainen did not travel to Belgrade. El-Hadji Diouf did travel but is not in the squad.
1930: On a serious note, Serbian police have kept Bolton's travelling support in their hotel ahead of tonight's match. The club have expressed their "frustration and disappointment".
1923: "But what news of Uefa Cup Group E?" I thought I heard someone shout. Wins for Spartak Moscow and Bayer Leverkusen earlier today mean they join FC Zurich in qualifying for the last 32. Congratulations!
1920: Juande Ramos's decision to leave Younes Kaboul at home means Didier Zakora plays at centre-back tonight - a position he played during his four years in the Belgian league with Genk.
1914: "What is Ramos thinking naming just one centre back in the entire squad? Hope it pays off! Keane to bag a couple as well I reckon."

1910: For Tottenham, life is a lot simpler. They only need a point to qualify for the last 32 and if they win, they'll top the group unless Getafe beat Aalborg.
1907: TEAM NEWS Anderlecht v Tottenham
Tottenham make three changes, with Tom Huddlestone, Young-Pyo Lee and Jermaine Jenas back in for Younes Kaboul, Gareth Bale and Dimitar Berbatov.
1905: Now I don't mind admitting the permutations for Bolton are a wee bit complicated - far too complicated for a girl to figure out. Suffice to say, if they win, that should be OK. If they lose, that's very much the opposite of OK.
1900: Oh, hello again!
