[Johnni]

doesnt the guy representing us look like Nick Griffin?

Important we got the second leg at home.

 

Tough match.

[Johnni]

bollocks, hardent route to final

[Dirk]

Valencia or Atelti in the semi, 2nd leg at home.

[Johnni]

both 2nd legs at Home so still good.

Atleast we might up our game for the rest of the competition

Well if we get to the final we should win it. Beating Benfica and then Valencia on route.

We'll be the home team if we get to the final aswell

Good point as having some 'bigger' clubs in our route means that the competion as a whole for us gets more interest. It can be argued that a big club like ours used to playing well known european teams in the CL each season will be more comfortable playing in the Mestalla and Benfica than we are in Belgium or Germany.

Hardest route possible to the final. Nice that we have the second leg at home against Benfica and again should we make the semi's.

[The Golden Eel]

Cudnt make that up... Best 4 teams in it in the same half. Crazy

[Lucky Pierre]

And suddenly the cup becomes a lot more credible...

[Faustus]

Tough draw but at least everything fell our way with regards to playing the second legs at home and being able to wear our home shirts in the final should we make it there.

 

I'm cautiously confident of a trip to the Kaiserkeller in May...

What i was trying to say lol

[emryscb]

we have a harder route to the final of the uefa cup than the mancs have to the final of the CL.......

[Guest PurpleNose]

Harder route to the final than the cunts have in the Champions League.

 

Trip to Southern Spain sounds nice. Even if Valencia is a bit of a hole.

Great minds etc

Great minds etc

 

got there just before me this time!

[Guest Pistonbroke]

I live about a 2 hour drive from Hamburg. So if we get there and anyone can get a spare ticket ;)

[Allan]

As has been said, a really tough passage to the final for us, Benfica are in great form, all be it in a weaker league, but they've only lost once in the league all season, scoring 60 and conceding just 12 in the process.

 

Main threats will obviously be Oscar Cardozo, Javier Saviola, Pablo Aimar and Angel Di Maria. At the back they have the giant Luisao, who will be a threat from set pieces.

[JohnnyH]

Happy with that draw. I'd much rather we had tough games then easy ones.

[Dracco]

4 top sides in this & 3 have been put in the same half of the draw with those cunts in the other

 

You think Bayern are shite? I think they are at least as good as Inter.

 

Poor Arsenal, wanted them to get better draw as the Mancs.

[The Party Boy]

I'm made up with that draw, rocking this europa league now.

[Thants]

Benfica. Someone quite exciting to play but beatable.

 

[navbasi]

Torres will be fully fit by then as well!!!! He'll defo be up for it with the thought of going back to the The Estadio Vicente Calderón. A hat-trick on Sunday to keep him ticking over just nicely!!...
