What makes this draw better is that the two best teams from every group qualified, can't think of a good team that missed out?

Valencia

Cañizares, Miguel, Ayala, Albelda, Moretti, Vicente, Joaquín, Edu, Silva, Villa, Morientes

Good enough? Not.

 

You could look a little silly come the date of the final. I like the look of Valencia this season.

Good outsiders IMO, will be fresh aswell. They have a lot of players injured at the moment Edu and Regeuro(?) out for the season, plus they have about 8  who are due back in the next 5 weeks or so. Definitely the best Valencia squad in many many years. Watch out for Silva, Spanish version of SWP at his best.

On loan?? hmmm SWP Perhaps?

Bit off-topic but Ronaldinho has just scored a ****ing belter for Barca. They've just twatted Villarreal 4-0.

 

awesome goal!! Kinda similar in a way to Rivaldo's overhead kick a few years ago

What about Luque's one against Mallorca.

Remember the classic team you had in the late 90s - Karpin, Mostovoi, Revivo, Makelele, Gustavo Lopez and Catanha.... Feckin Awesome football team

ps Always remember to bring ya scarves to every home game!

Lyon have a lot of injured strikers at the moment (Govou, Fred etc) don't think he will be sold

What about Steven Pressley? Will be available come January IMO. Does anyone rate him?

My Team V Arsenal

451

Given

Ramage

Taylor

Moore

Duff

Dyer (RM)

Milner (LM)

Butt

Parker

Zoggy

Martins

At best we can hope Given, Parker, Martins, Moore, Baba and Taylor are fit for this one.

If we are without them then this is going to be a thrashing.

 

Championship players.

 

If Babayaro plays, he'll get taken to bits.

He'll only be up against Eboue and Hleb, its the RB I would worry about, he'll be up against Henry, Rosicky(?) and Clichy 

Why doesn't everyone do what they do in Spain and wave the white hankies at the end of the match?

What the ****'s going on with Milan? Practically the same team and everything but doing really poorly?!

They dont have a depth of talent in their squad, they more or less play with the same team, they got no-one who can come on and change things. If Kaka and Pirlo don't play well then they're pretty much fucked

Cannavaro was so ****ing good tonight.

Who was at the back with him? Helguera or Ramos (or Meija blueeek.gif)

Were Zambrotta and Thuram playing?

Palermo are a very good team - Italy's equivelent of Sevilla IMO, they had quite a few members in Italy's world cup winning squad

Newcastle fans have given Freddy Shepherd one month to turn the clubs fortunes around or his future at Newcastle United may come to a premature end after a somewhat unsuccessful stint as chairman. Shepherd is under mounting pressure to turn the clubs results around after the clubs form in the premiership has only amounted to 7 points from 9 games; the worst start to a premiership season since the 1999/2000 campaign. A cash rich sheikh is keeping tabs on Ottmar Hitzfelds situation as he begins to find a solution to the faltering club

 

My brother sent me this from his office in London working for the Mirror, although it may not be a respectable paper for gossip. i thought it was interesting and you may want to know.

It's all very well roeder resigning or getting sacked but who the f**k is going to take the job - the reason we've got Roeder is because nobody wants to work for Shepherd.  We'll end up with either Terry MacDermott or Lee Clarke as manager as we've nobody else.

 

What a bloody mess!!!

 

no one in this place seems to be able to grasp this simple fact

:grt:

The entire back 4 was a shambles, Duff isn't playing well, Martins is in and out

Too many problems

I think Shepherd did it because of the takeover. That's why we were only buying someone if we sold Milner, so that Shepherd doesn't lose anymore money. I hope to god they do take over, end this Shepherd horror and we can do some proper legitimate buying in January

I really "hope" there is a takeover, Shepherds popularity rating is at an all time low, the word incompetent springs to mind for the one-millionth time when describing our leader

well Chirstian Vieri is on a free if someone wants to take the biggest gamble ever

He's linked up with Atalanta
