McFaul 35 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 2-1 defeat at Scunthorpe to 6th favourites to win an European trophy in 2 and a half years. Not bad. Quite a decent chance we may get a Scottish team too. Celtic and Motherwell are both in the CL 3rd Quals and if they lose they go in to the play off round, they both probably will given recent history, so in the play off round there'll be Celtic, Motherwell, Hearts, Dundee United and St Johnstone. Would absolutely love us to play Celtic, I'd pray for it even. In the groups a trip to Bilbao would be the stuff of dreams too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McFaul 35 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 The only side there who are head and shoulders better than us are Tottenham. Strites as well, we're more than capable of doing anyone else. Inter are in their worst moment for 40 years imo. That last sentence reads like a dutchman saying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 13860 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Aye, I could see Napoli doing us but a defensive display like Chelsea's is hardly out of the question for us. Steven Taylor hoying himself at everything and Shola back to help oot. Sound. Would love an away day at Bilbao like. Sparta Prague too just to go on the lash in Prague with £1.20 pints.

McFaul 35 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Napoli, Bilbao and Atlético Madrid would probably tonk us tbf. Napoli, Bilbao and Atlético Madrid would probably tonk us tbf. Pure pony. The same Napoli who lost 4-1 to a team we went and did 0-2 on their own ground. I wouldn't swap Cisse for any of their strikers. Bilbao a side who came 11th in Spain. Our midfield is better than Atletico Madrid's, Turan hasn't come on like he should have, Tiago was shite at Chelsea and despite playing for some big clubs has had an uninspiring career and he's slow now, Diego hasn't kicked on like many thought he would do and become one of the best. They're a canny side, but in midfield and up front, despite ridiculous transfer fees, they're nee better than us. Straight up I wouldn't swap Cisse for Falcao, although people will be blinded by his two goals in the UEFA Final which imo were shambolic defending.

Kid Dynamite 7025 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 The 20yard overhead kick into the top corner the other day was hardly shambolic defending.

Statistically the Premiership is still marginally the best league in the world, we came 5th. We should fear NO CATH WORD.

They barely came in the top half of La Liga. Also as good as Cisse has been, Falcao is like a £35-40m striker, there is no way Cisse is better than him.

Amongst the bigger teams because they can't be arsed - see Tottenham last year. The fact Boro and Fulham both deservedly reached the final recently shows it's worth putting your heart and soul in to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
