plumping for Amica Wronki myself

 

[Napper]

Tough group for M'boro

 

[Gyuribá]

Cmon Fradi

 

[D'Angelo Saxon]

Whats the deal with this then? Has it gone all champions league?

 

[B.M.F]

Appologies for missing the R in draw.

IMHO I think group B is the toughest

It is to make the competition more rewarding for the smaller teams. The Champions league group losers come in after the group stages I am led to believe but may be wrong

The 3rd place teams from the Champions League join in then.

 

[Easy 10]

Personally, I can't think of anything more BORING than a UEFA Cup "league" stage. I struggle to muster up any enthusiasm for the Champions League before the knockout stage, let alone this second-rate rubbish.

Newcastle v Panionios, Sochaux, Sporting and Dinamo Tiblisi, TWICE.

Jesus, pass the prozac or just kill me now.

 

[Ex Shelton Seagull]

Each side plays once against the other sides in the group. 2 at home, 2 away, with 3 teams in each group going through to the knockout stage.

 

[Juan Albion]

Newcastle v Panionios, Sochaux, Sporting and Dinamo Tiblisi, TWICE.

Not twice. But it'll feel like it...

 

[Gyuribá]

Newcastle v Panionios, Sochaux, Sporting and Dinamo Tiblisi, TWICE.



just one time, there will be only 4 games

That is what I meant by losers but thanks for pointing it out

 

[Rougvie]

Is Chris Iwelumo getting a game for Alemannia ??

Good luck to him if he is mixing it at that level

Nah. He's made 3 sub apperances in the league and 1 appearance in the UEFA cup. He's played about 2 hours of football all together.

Watched Zenit beat Red Star Belgrade on Russian TV last week and they looked really good. won 2-1 after winning the home leg 4-0. they are also currently top of the Russian league after 20 odd games.

Get in there Zenit

And yes I am the one that wore the Light Blue Zenit shirt at the Plymouth game as my Brighton one was in the wash. Was really funny seeing loads of fans trying to work out what team it was

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

they should have done it without draws so pen shootouts after full time

Oh dear, but slightly gratifying.
