Novocastrian Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Are we away for the first leg, or is that part of the draw too? We are away in both legs, it's Platini's new system for Englsh teams that reach the QF of UEFA competitions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MW Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Is this year different then? Every year for both cups I swear they do semis at the same time. 100% champions league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Flash Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 We get through some scrapes though eh. If that Maritimo clogger had scored that sitter against us in the 85th minute or whatever, we'd have been out on our arses at the group stage Then the freekick tonight. Funny old game. This is the kind of luck we never get in cups. We're definitely going to win this then beat Barca in the Super Cup. Definitely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Now three English clubs are through to the quarters, I fully expect the quality of the teams in this competition to be retrospectively downgraded by fans of other clubs. Full of semi-pro teams from the Faroe Islands and Malta. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I just hope we have Ben Arfa back for the Quarter Finals. Our new found defensive ability combined with his wizardry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 In order of preference: Basel Lazio Fenerbache Rubin Kazan Benfica Chelsea Spurs Really? Thought you'd much rather want Kazan or Fenerbahce before Lazio. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 UEFA needs to sort themselves out and move this competition to Tuesdays/Wednesdays during the weeks when there's no Champions League games on. Would do wonders for the competition and its reputation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 In order of preference: Basel Lazio Fenerbache Rubin Kazan Benfica Chelsea Spurs Really? Thought you'd much rather want Kazan or Fenerbahce before Lazio. Aye i would as well, Lazio are very very good and have an excellent tactical mind for a manager. I think we could do them if Debuchy, Gouffran, Ben Arfa and Cabaye were available but fact is they won't be. That's one of the main reasons i'm not extremely confident we have so much offensive talent missing, we can't keep clean sheets against everyone. Oh well anything is a bonus for me now, i never expected to get anywhere near this far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champions League Wednesday & Thursday - most of the CL clubs play Sunday anyway for TV so let them play Thursday, people will watch Champions League any night.

Mole_Toonfan Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Oh i believe i just like to play it down as i'm a bit superstitious, ever since i started to play down our chances we have got 4 clean sheets.

I just don't like the idea of cramming all the Europa League games into one night, and they simply can't overlap with CL games or no one will care about them. IIRC, the quarter finals will be the first time that the CL teams play consecutive weeks this season, it surely would have been possible to fit the Europa League fixtures in when the CL teams aren't playing.

Mole_Toonfan Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Its strange but i think i'm more confident against Spurs or Chelsea than i am against some random european side, mainly because i know we can beat them ( we already have this season) and against some other sides they are a bit of an unknown quantity.

I'd use small a 'v' personally and why are they centralised for no reason? Lack of draw methodology also lets this work down too. 4/10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
