Stifler 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. Chelsea I think we could beat over two legs, Spurs would be more difficult, though I think we could beat them on a one on one match I think it would be much more difficult in two legs. We are capable of it, Spurs for me are the team I'm mostly concerned about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 If somehow we won this competition I have a mint song we can sing. We went to Amsterdam, we went to Amsterdam, We went to Amsterdam, smoked a joint, shag a whore, and all we got was this Cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 But that makes it sound like smoking a joint and shagging a whore was a tedious mandatory task as opposed to something you would do for pleasure and enjoyment. It needs a bit of work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

binnsy Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 this may well have already been answered but are they drawing the quarters and semi tomorrow or just the quarter final? Also while we play Fulham and Sunderland around the quarter final, Spurs who will still be prioritising getting in top 4 have Everton at home before going away to Chelsea! it might not be a bad time to play Spurs in Europe. Chelsea have a home game against the mackems before playing Spurs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elma Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I'll take Basel or Fener. Think we could beat either over two legs and I'm regularly in Istanbul anyway so would definitely combine a trip there. Some people think it's a dodgy place to go but it's not really...reasonably temperate this time of year too at around 15C and much better then a trip to Russia. Wouldn't want either of the English sides and think we could struggle against Benfica or Lazio. Let them take each other down and then face one of them in the semis if we get through....

Neil Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Here is my draw prediction. Chelsea v Lazio Tottenham v Fenerbache Benfica v Rubin Kazan Basel v Newcastle Make of it as you like. If somehow we won this competition I have a mint song we can sing. We went to Amsterdam, we went to Amsterdam, We went to Amsterdam, smoked a joint, shag a whore, and all we got was this Cup. - Stifler, 2013. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 For the sake of our travelling fans, I really hope we don't get Kazan, surely we've had enough of travels to the east after Ukraine and Russia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elma Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Istanbul is the best city I've ever been to. Shame about the closed doors thing. I love it and will probably move there in the next couple of years. Would recommend the trip to anyone if we happen to draw Fener. Jump on flights early and you can get Easyjet or Pegasus for under £100 too. Fantastic city and changing so fast...very wealthy and dynamic now but still so atmospheric. Just hope the religious government don't screw it up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hope the religious government don't screw it up. How expensive is it to live in a decent part of the city? Any idea? I had the best time ever there, absolutely loved it. It's really gone up. As a point of reference, a mate bought a whole building in Taksim (noisy but central) for around £30,000 in 2006. It's now comfortably worth £300,000. I have a three bed flat on the edge of Nisantasi which is a very decent central area, and it rents for around 1700 Lira a month, which is £600-£650. However, it really should rent for a lot more. I rent it cheap as the bathroom and kitchen haven't been changed since the 70's and the tenant agreed to renovate at their cost...plus she is super reliable and pays the rent on time. Probably looking at £800-£1000 a month for something decent, more for a Bosphorus view. You might get cheaper on the Asian side in Moda or Fenerbahce. The great thing is that although new builds can go for well over £1million, the older properties aren't so popular now due to earthquake risk and a new government policy. There's still value there. A mate of mine rents flats to tourists starting at about £50 a night. http://www.istanbulsweethome.com I'll be trying to book one of those if we draw Fener. PM me if you want extra info on areas and websites for property etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think that this read that they had a one match sanction (last night), unlike Lazio who had last night and another. http://www.uefa.com/uefa/footballfirst/matchorganisation/disciplinary/news/newsid=1925336.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Based on very little other than a hunch I reckon we'll get Kazan. I really hope we get Basel though, probably the best draw we could wish for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicago_shearer Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Going out to Spurs or Chelsea would be disappointing as well as boring at this stage of the competition. First choice Basel obviously, but at least Benfica or Lazio would be an interesting tie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Would be good to get Basel. They have a Korean player so both ties would be on TV here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
