Uefa Cup

1-1

John Carew with the equalizer

Think the keeper could have had that really.

What is this by the way? second round or what?

Yeah the keeper seem to mis-read it, this is the round of 32

Ahh right okay then mate , so there's two legs?

Yeah, it is why Villa need to score a goal or two because going to Russia needing a result will be hard.

Copenhagen v Man City tonight. 1-0 City after an absolute howler from the Copenhagen keeper.

Shakhtar Donetsk 0-0 Spurs at half time.

How bloody lucky can City get?! I reckon they paid the keeper before the game.

Robinho just went for a chip and made himself look like an even bigger tw*t (although it was offside)

Man City beat FC Copenhagen 2-1, won 4-3 on agg, Bellamy scored both goals.

Aston Villa lost to CSKA Moscow 2-0, CSKA won 3-1 on agg.

Tottenham drew 1-1 with Shakhtar Donetsk, and lost 3-1 on agg.

Would have preferred City to go out and Villa go through!

I like the way Aalborg plays

UEFA Cup always proves to me how top heavy the Premiership League and that other league have so much better depth than the Premiership.

Im backing Standard Liege, some of the football they play is unreal!

They were eliminated in the round of 32 by Braga. I never know why people always crap on the UEFA Cup, I always liked it because it really is a competition where a bunch of different teams can win it and you do see bigger names like the AC Milan and Valenica knocked out. It is funny because people seem to bi*ch about the Champions League because there is a handful of teams that could win in and they crave to have the competition where more sides can win it yet they have in the UEFA Cup. I guess it is the same sort of thing with the F.A Cup where people complained about the big 4 always being in the final yet last season we had a surprise final and people complained about it not being good enough without a big side in it....go figure I guess

The round of 16 looks like this


Bremen vs St Etienne
CSKA Moskva vs Shakhtar
Udinese vs Zenit
PSG vs Braga
Dynamo Kyiv vs Metalist
Man. City vs AaB
Hamburg vs Galatasaray
Marseille vs Ajax   

Didn't AaB win at Old Trafford?

Didn't AaB win at Old Trafford?

No, I remember they said that Us and United were the only english teams to have got through the group stages undefeated.
They must have drawn or something.

Oh, I remember now. They were winning 2-1, but then I think it was Grooney that got a jammy goal.

Feck me, really?

Didn't expect that at all, same goes with Milan and Valencia.

I reckon Shakhtar now.

I guess City and Marseille are favourites to win the UEFA Cup then?

My money is on Zenit winning it.

Who on earth are Metalist?

My money's on Udinese or Hamburg.

Who on earth are Metalist?

They are a Ukrainian side from Kharkiv, finish 3rd last season behind the big two.

Ahh thankyou. I couldn't even tell you who the big two teams are in the Ukraine though to be honest, I'm guessing the teams with Kiev in the name?

Shakhtar and Dynamo Kyiv are the two big club (shown by them being in the UCL pretty much every season)
