    The big guns are playing. Not having it all their own way, but 1 up through Messi.

    Levante just hit the woodwork. Fluffed a few opportunities in the last minutes. Barca look, like they are thinking of something else. :emoticon-0168-drink:emoticon-0169-dance:emoticon-0157-sun:

    Probably think they can just show up and win. Arrogant tossers

    How do you fancy your p/o chances? Sunderland are the big threat, but they've been a little poor at home recently. Should be rather exciting.

    Think they are praying that they avoid Charlton in the semis....

    They'll probably do Doncaster over 2 legs, but Charlton will be close, still reckon the Mackems will win at Wembley though.

    Can remember the urgency of getting out of L1 like it was yesterday. The two years we spent building and growing put us in a good position.......but a third year.......oh my <yikes>

    Leeds seem to have discovered a sense of integrity, fair play and wholesome charm since they last graced the top flight.
    Be nice to have 'em back :biggrin:

    Villa will either have 2 legs against local rivals WBA, or against the Leeds team who just got one of their players suspended (pending an appeal)

    Glad we didn’t put the ball out of play against Bournemouth, before JWPs goal.
    The Leeds player slowing down and acting like he was going to knock the ball out before slipping a player through made that far more controversial

    Steven Caulker was on this bus as well but thankfully not physically injured.....but is emotionally distraught, hope he and other players get the help they need.

    Not a great week for Celtic legends: Stevie Chalmers, who scored the winning goal in the 1967 European Cup Final, has died at the age of 83, just a week after his captain Billy McNeill.

    RIP Stevie Chalmers 1935-2019 <rose>

    They were summer transfers that barely raised an eyebrow - but now look to be two of the signings of the season.

    Deemed surplus to requirements at their Premier League clubs, Ajax signed 30-year-old Dusan Tadic from Southampton for £10m and Daley Blind, 29, from Manchester United for an initial £14m.

    Fast forward nine months and it looks to be an astute piece of business by the Dutch club.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Depressing having those two transfers lumped together. Couldn't be further from the truth.
    Blind was bombed out of Utd, while Tadic was reluctantly let go. And while just about every Saint said Tad would do well, loads of Manc's were jumping for joy at the £14M!
