The TV listings on Wednesday are a bit of a brown trout… as in… there’s bugger-all on. Well, that’s the case if you don’t like football as the main highlight midweek is UEFA Champions League: FC Porto v Arsenal (ITV1, Wednesday, 17 February, 7.30pm) which will see Arsene Wenger’s boys taking on Portugal’s Dragões.

ITV thrives on the coverage of the European Cup (that’s for you old-schoolers there) despite the fact that the league format can make for some astonishingly dull matches. I figure that the majority of people tune in just to see the English teams lose (apart from followers of said team and spineless armchair fans of course).

However, this week, the Champions League reaches its knock-out stage which means no mucking about.

Arsene Wenger takes his team to face Portuguese champions FC Porto and with the Premier League title looking unlikely (but not impossible) for the Gunners, this is their biggest chance of winning something this season.

However, you’d be an idiot to write-off the Portuguese club as they have, in recent years, upset the apple cart on English soil on many occasions. It should be a decent game.

Steve ‘Not good enough for the BBC and doesn’t really like football’ Rider presents the show with Swansea City manager Paulo ‘No, I don’t really know why I’ve been asked to appear either’ Sousa and Andy ‘Idiot’ Townsend. Commentary comes from Peter Drury and Jim ‘Still stealing a living’ Beglin.
