Drama in the Champions League play-off between Bulgaria's Ludogorets Razgrad and Steaua Bucharest. It has gone to a penalty shoot out but Ludogorets have their goalkeeper Vladislav Stoyanov sent off in the last minute of extra time. All three substitutions have been played and their centre half Cosmin Moti goes between the posts for the shoot out. Can he be the hero? What idiot gets sent off a minute before the end of extra time! What a moment for the defender though, no pressure, make a save and become an instant hero.
That's why it was in " " It's theoretically easier than Barca, Dortmund & Juve for example. But I've said before I'd take a group like Barca, Dortmund and then a poor team from 4th group.
I want a so-called "easy draw". We are back in the CL so lets try to win it and not finish the season with some Europa games
The worst you could end up with is probably; Madrid, Dortmund and Monaco So that means you almost certainly get; Porto, Zenit and Ludogorets Razgrad
No, it's United that always get the easy groups! We usually get one of the harder groups. Lizard Men with their remote control balls always rig it against us.
Lets embrace the prospect of playing (and beating) a football giant! - Th BBC say: Best case scenario for Premier League sides Chelsea, Basel, Sporting Lisbon, Maribor Arsenal, Basel, Sporting, Maribor Benfica, Manchester City, Olympiakos, Maribor Benfica, Basel, Liverpool, Maribor Poor Maribor! Worst-case scenario for Premier League sides Chelsea, Paris St-Germain, Ajax, Roma Arsenal, Paris St-Germain, Ajax, Roma Real Madrid, Manchester City, Ajax, Roma Real Madrid, PSG, Liverpool, Roma
I like Didi Hamann, but not sure what he's talking about. "A lot of these players wont have played in Europe before so won't be used to playing 2 games a week" Only Johnson, Lovren, Skrtel, Sakho, Moreno, Gerrard, Henderson, Allen, Can, Lucas, Markovic, Sterling, Sturridge, Balotelli have played in the CL or EL Apparently in the practice draw we drew Madrid, Juve & Monaco Well, chances of us getting that are slim.
