Rival watch

Like you lot Chelsea just don't know how to do it easy

 

Told you Mata would drag your arses through, DL.
The Geordies have just gone 1-0 up. Bloody late.

 

Newcastle through too and amazingly three English teams are still in with a chance of being first of the 2nd class in Europe!

 

Nobody wants a trip to Anzhi, Newcastle easily beatable over two legs for either of us IMO

 

I'd rather win the second class comp than get knocked out in the quarters of the first class Luke.

 

Yes, Chelsea got the better deal going out one stage sooner!

 

Lets get to the quarters first TMT!;-)

 

I meant get through the quarters first!

 

That one you failed dismally in last year?...not the dismal fail where you couldn't get out of your CL group, the other one! I'll forgive you as there's so many to choose from!

 

whens the draw?

 

Tomorrow morning, I think.

 

Are the quarters two legs?

 

Yep, that ****e thing which could have messed up our title bid if we'd had to play too many extra games

 

Yes, as are the semis.

Teams left: Tottenham, Chelsea, Newcastle, Lazio, Rubin Kazan, Basel, Benfica and Fenerbahce. I'd like the Swiss, please.

 

How'd that work out for ya?

 

I'd like a harder team to test our mettle. If we can beat a good team in the quarters it bodes better for the semis.

 

Agree that Basel would be my fav.
Rather not get the Chavs, Benfica, Rubin (travel) or Fenerbahce actually. Lazio will be a difficult visit for nNo-football reasons although as long as we don't get their ref again I would expect us to beat them. Newcastle could be a bit of a dark horse, but don't hold any great fears.

 

Lawro has us down for a two plonk win against Fulham.

 

Oh crap...

 

Make it three plonk PLEASE Spurs. Fulham aren't that hot away from home so you should do it.
