Europa League 2012/13 - Benfica 1 - 2 Chelsea


Recommended Posts

Why Is the game being played behind closed doors?

 

Racism for Lazio and fireworks for Fenerbahce. They're not playing each other btw.

Oh, that tweet implied.... infact never mind. I get the Racism, but what happened with fireworks to get a game closed behind doors?

As an American Anzhi fan, I'm really excited to play an English-speaking club :) Anyone who can make it to Moscow will be well-met by Anzhi fans. If the weather is reasonable there should be at least 15,000 there (though Luzhniki holds 76,000). There are a lot of Dagestanis who live and work in Moscow, plus the general football fans that want to watch good European competition. If you have any questions about Moscow, the team, fans, Russia, etc. feel free to ask me. I've lived in Moscow and Dagestan in the past and watch every Anzhi match. If anyone's interested in meeting with the folks from Anzhi's fan club, the Wild Division, before the match, I can get you in touch with them, too. A number of them speak English, so communication isn't a problem.

 

Looking forward to the tie, though it's going to be a tough one.

 

I have a question. In the bogs in one of the pubs in Kharkiv there was a sign saying you weren't allowed to w***, bum someone, rollerblade or skateboard. This really affected my enjoyment of the Ukraine, is it allowed in Moscow? If it's the same I might not bother.

:spit:

 

:lol: For some reason it's the man pissing away from the toilet that got me. It's his stance more than anything.

 

Was about to post the same thing. :lol:

 

Might have already been mentioned, but what's the one three down on the right hand side? No putting soap in toilets?

So if we get through we don't want Lazio or Fenerbahce in the next round or none of us would be able to go.

Fenerbahce only got a 1 game ban if i understand correctly which is their home leg this week. They got a suspended sentence of being banned from Europe next season if it happens again.

Spurs will win it imo.

 

Probably. But we should have no reason to fear them. In the two league games vs them this season we've effectively drawn on aggregate.

 

If we get past Anzhi Makakakakakakakakakakala then I'm hoping for Basel in the next round.

To be honest the only teams I fear at the moment are Spurs and Chelsea. The only other team I fear is us ourselves.

 

Nothing like getting ahead of ourselves !

Seriously who is left?

Fenerbache? A tough away game but we should beat them at home and tough away games against Metalist and Anzi show we are up to the challenge.

 

Lazio? Spurs managed to contain them.

 

Inter? Probably not going through but Spurs hammered them and could have and should have beaten them by a bigger margin, certainly beatable.

 

Benfica? An ageing squad.

 

We have came through some of the toughest tests so far.

If we get through I'd like anyone other than Spurs or Chelsea even if it meant it was a more difficult tie. Want a proper European team not a team we play twice a season anyway

 

Pretty much this. With the away leg second, becaue I wont get time off work to go to the away leg if it's the first leg because of Financial year end.

Benfica and Lazio would be quite heavy favourites against us tbh, we can beat them but we are heavy outsiders in the bookies for a reason.
