Europa League 2012/13 - Benfica 1 - 2 Chelsea


Recommended Posts

Knockout European Football - in the last 16, an away leg first and a fucking rocking St James Park on the return leg?

 

The lads will be better acclimated with one another and HBA will be back. This is so damn exciting. I really can't wait for this.

No, not at all, but they're beatable. With our strongest team we'd give any side, other than the absolute elite, a good run over two legs.

 

:thup:

 

Quite frankly we have got as far as i expected so anything more is a bonus to me now, but if we beat Anzhi which i don't expect then i might start dreaming.

I travelled last summer mate watching Dundee United play CSKA and there was no visa waiver for us im afraid took about 10 days to get a visa that was travelling through to the Russian Consulate in edinburgh and I had to complete the form here online before I went http://ru.vfsglobal.co.uk/ or there is a number of agencies who will help with this online unless there is going to a special waiver in this case but i doubt it there was a waiver in 2008 for the champions league final where the ticket acted as a visa due to the number of people who travelled was about 500 of us travelled over.

I'm certainly interested in going to this, one of my mates mentioned that there was some kind of Visa waver for football fans travelling as absurd as this sounds is there any truth in it?

 

Edit:

 

Interrailing time  :lol:

 

From Europe

The newly-launched TransEuropeanExpress traverses Europe, making the run Paris-Moscow up to four times a week via Frankfurt, Berlin and Warsaw amgonst other cities. The train boosts a luxury carriage apart from the normal first and second class and national railways provide restaurant cars. Travel from Paris takes 38 hours, fares are quite high with second class tickets at €330.

Several other European cities have direct carriages to Moscow including; Amsterdam (36 h), Basel (38 h), Bratislava (42 h), Budapest (37 h), Nice (49 h, Thursdays) Prague (34 h) and Vienna (34 h).

They only beat Liverpool 1-0 over there and this was Liverpool's team:

 

01 Jones

16 Coates

23 Carragher

38 Flanagan

47 Wisdom

10 Cole (Assaidi - 77' )

14 Henderson

19 Downing

33 Shelvey Booked

35 Coady (Suso - 61' )

50 Morgan (Pacheco - 61' )

Haven't they just signed that Willian from Shakhtar Donetsk in January?

He's the one that worries me as their results and performances in Europe compared to the group stage seem a lot better since he arrived.

 

Not to mention his performances for Shakhtar in the CL are there for all to see.

Think a lot of people are underestimating this Anzhi team. It's a winnable game for us, but they're no Metalist by any means. I'll be very surprised if we come out of the first leg with a result.

 

I don't expect to get through at all tbh, but if we do then its time to  :celb1:
