:lol: don't like Allbäck he drops the ball all the time in Sweden i don't understand how he can be so well liked in Aston Villa :unsure:

are you talking about aik solna?
does andreas andersson still play for them?

well i doubt they are going to win the champions league. :lol:

Grim · 03-11-2005, 01:06 PM

Yeah AIK solna Andereas Andersson doesn't play there anymore and all good players are looking for a new place to play.

They actually have been far in the champions league i think it was the summer 92 or something like that. I didn't say in a close future maybe in a couple of years (or far far of in the future).

I thought you were talking about another A.I.K., the one which we bought Mjallby from.

Bolton vs Arsenal
Seriously, Diouf has some obvious skill, but i cant stand him. He spits, he dives and what was the need to hit Lehmann?
Arsenal deserved the win, but Bolton probably shud've scored based on how shaky the defence was.
Predictions for United v Saints?
I'll say 3-1 to us (united) :) with any luck....
Wonder if we'll get drawn with Arsenal again in the semi final if we get through.

Well, two words after that from United's point of view: Beat that!
Rooney was great tonight, didnt stop moving.
The Blackburn match tomorrow shud be good. Any predictions?

It depends on who they're playing. Anyways, another solid performance ( Well much more than solid ) from Celtic, to those who said we'd lost the title a couple of weeks a go, stick that in your pipe and smoke it. :P Unfortunatly there isn't a Dr. Evil smiley....

*jewell* · 03-14-2005, 04:34 AM

^yeah celtic will probably win the title but who cares?i wish rangers and celtic would be allowed into the premiership,then we would see what smalltime clubs they really are.

sun and steel · 03-14-2005, 10:33 AM

Would that be before or after we wup your asses? :P You'd be guilty of making the same mistake as Souness when he was at Blackburn.

Squire · 03-16-2005, 03:19 PM

Well, there is no way that Rangers or Celtic would ever Champions League football again if they left to the SPL thats for certain. They might be able to just about squeeze a UEFA Cup place, but that would be pushing it. :P

It appears as though Newcastle are through in the UEFA Cup though, are exerting huge domination over a lackluster Olympiakos.

1st season, yeah, we'd be happy with a mid table finish but in succesive seasons I reckon we'd be looking to be higher up, I mean come on! Everton are challenging for a Champions League spot! It can't be that hard.

*jewell* · 03-17-2005, 06:52 AM

great performance by newcastle last night,even though the greeks weren't up to much. i really feel the uefa cup is there for the taking for newcastle this season,there is nobody really worth worrying about except maybe some of the spanish sides.
also we have a great draw in the fa cup.we play man utd which is a virtual bye for us into the final :P

*fenix down* · 03-17-2005, 08:43 AM

I would be distraight if Newcastle won the uefa cup. Its not that i hate newcastle, but I cant stand that sour faced old git souness. if they win then everyone will think he is great again when he has always sucked.

okay the draw for the champions league and uefa cup has been made.
chelsea face bayern munich which i they'll win comfortably,unfortunately for liverpool they face juventus.
in the uefa cup newcastle have decent draw facing sporting lisbon.
what do people think of the draws that have been made?

sun and steel · 03-18-2005, 02:29 PM

No offence, well, maybe a little :P , but I think you're talking nonsense. Bayern are never an easy team to beat, Chelsea had a fair bit of luck in beating Barca and Bayern won't be any easier for them.

You're right Bayern are never easy to beat so hopefully it will be a even match (they are so much fun to watch).

Go Liverpool! beat Juventus!

I think its quite funny that Newcastle have drawn Sporting Lisbon. Now we'll see if Middlesborough are actually that bad, or if Lisbon are actually really good.

The Champions League draw is also quite funny because PSV and Lyon drew each other, which means that one "bad" team will make the semi-finals.

actually i think lyon are a good side.i personally think they are better than liverpool and bayern munich.

also i don't know why people are drooling over bayern munich.they are not the force of three years ago.chelsea will do them easily.

Squire · 03-21-2005, 09:32 AM

Bayern Munich are a powerful side. They play much better in Europe than they do in Domestic football and their squad can still uphold their reputation.

I think that Bayern Munich will be a harder test for Chelsea than Barcelona, because Bayern can actually defend.

have you actually seen them play?i have.

*fenix down* · 03-21-2005, 09:48 AM

Bayern are clown shoes compared to Chelsea. It might be tight in Germany, but Chelsea will win easily at home. I reckon Lyon and AC will go through. Liverpool v Juve is a tougher call, but the Italians have been in good form and should win, despite Liverpools insistance on not getting knocked out.

Yes, I have and I follow quite a few of their matches. As I said, they play a lot better in Europe than they do domestically. In Europe this season, they have been almost unstoppable.

They're a very tidy team, who are strong in defence and attack. If Henry could do little against them, then I doubt they'll be worried about the amazing strikers that Chelsea have.

On a side note, if you rate Drogb
