Guest MalcolmW Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 The pre-groups are out: Its Tromso (Norway) or Atromitos (Greece) or Anzhi (Russia) or Neftchi (Azerbaijan) or Vaslui (Roumania) - this latter are unseeded because, technically, the Cypriots have not yet been thrown out after last night's fiasco.

Beren Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I know we'd be expected to beat all of them but I'd prefer if we get Anzhi, as I still don't trust us in cup competitions against sides we're supposed to beat! Can never seem to raise our game/replicate the hunger of the opposition. Also, be fun to see Eto'o and Samba etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Aye it'll be a great laugh to face Eto'o, Samba, Zhirkov, Traore, Jucilei, Boussoufa etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiquidAK Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Think we could beat them Anzhi to be honest. It would be far from a forgone conclusion anyway, spunking loads of money on decent players doesn't make a good team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenham Mag Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 So where did Anzhi play their game then? Somewhere just outside Moscow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could beat them, theirs a reason why with even all those players they finished away from the top of their division. The thing is though you can't deny that they have some very dangerous players who we would want to keep away from. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh of course it'd be tougher than some of the ties we could get, but I wouldn't be particularly worried either. I'd still feel pretty confident of going through over two legs. Like you say, they only finished 5th last year which given the money they've spent is really quite unimpressive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolution Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 It's going to be Anzhi. Awful away trip too in terms of distance and the fact it's an utter shit hole, just had a look on google images at the state of the city. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Last time Etoo played two legs against us we won something like 7-1 on aggregate Travelling to Moscow souns a much better prospect than Dagestan, presume it might be less of a hostile atmosphere Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmk Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Seen bits of a couple of Anzhi games recently and they look shite. Good players on paper but don't seem like a team at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Bit shit how they've done this, was expecting to go into the draw thinking we could get drawn against any one of the unseeded teams. What's the reasoning for this groups carry on? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenham Mag Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 For anyone interested, the draw for the CL Play-offs: FC Basel 1893 (SUI) v CFR 1907 Cluj (ROU) Helsingborgs IF (SWE) v Celtic FC (SCO) FC BATE Borisov (BLR) v Hapoel Kiryat Shmona FC (ISR) AEL Limassol FC (CYP) v RSC Anderlecht (BEL) GNK Dinamo Zagreb (CRO) v NK Maribor (SVN) SC Braga (POR) v Udinese Calcio (ITA) FC Spartak Moskva (RUS) v Fenerbahçe SK (TUR) Málaga CF (ESP) v Panathinaikos FC (GRE) VfL Borussia Mönchengladbach (GER) v FC Dynamo Kyiv (UKR) LOSC Lille Métropole (FRA) v FC København (DEN) Lets hope Copenhagen knock Lille out, making even more difficult for them to keep Debuchy.
