Roma just beat Feyenoord on spotters. Lukaku missed his

The Sporting manager is the guy trying to steal Alonso’s job, right?

I incorrectly corrected myself: I edited to add the final five (without thinking that we can't be drawn against them).

 

Still, anyone but Qarabag, please.

Reckon it'll be Roma, Viz mag down the back of the Kecks

[Mook]

I hope we avoid Roma at all costs.

 

Utter scumbags.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Nothing ever really is but I reconcile myself that we’re not Galatasaray.

Sparta Praha is as good as it could be.

 

I only wanted to avoid Milan (tough match), Rome (safety for our supporters) and Quarabag (long trip). Everyone else would be OK with Sparta Praha arguably the best draw we could have.

 

Now let's just get Coventry at Anfield for the FA quarter and we'll be able to give key players som rest in this run in. 2 matches every week from now on.

 

 

[sir roger]

Let's hope we get to the FA Cup quarters seeing as the u-14s will be playing against Soton.

Decent draw.

They lost the 1st leg and were still losing on aggregate until Galatasary had a player sent off after 68 minutes. Sparta scored 3 times against 10 men so it's hardly a thrashing

They better do as we probably have to give our grown ups a rest for this one.

 

It feels like FA cup success depends on the football gods. If we beat Soton (we really should even with the U-14s) it could be ManC away for the QF or Coventry/Maidstone at Anfield.
