The UEFA Cup Thread

[TOON ARMY]

We haven't been the same since Bramble came off

 

[TOON ARMY]

4-1 we're **** and we've ****ed up another great chance of Silverware.

Now a thrashing on Sunday against United in the Cup semi to round off what will be a **** week.

Congratulations to Sporting

4-1 to Sporting

Newcastle

They should get rid of this half-assed tournament. It's mighty depressing to watch, much like the NIT event held for teams who fail to qualify for the NCAA tournament in the U.S.

4-1

Tell that to the fans of clubs who would have no chance of competing in the Champons League. There are enough good teams in europe to suppourt the UEFA Cup

with Sporting's victory, Portugal snapped the 5th place in the uefa ranking passing Germany.

Vote Platini.

(He wants to make one single European knock-out competition with 256 teams.)

Happy for Parma.

 

[Nakamura]

Yeah, congrats to Sporting! I didn't believe they would get past the QF and Newcastle, but they proved me wrong. They were great in the 2nd half and without Liedson!

Also, as I mentioned, getting past the QF, Sporting could go all the way and I think that, as they are going to play the final in their stadium, they must be seen as favourites. But AZ Alkmaar is dangerous, they should not underestimate them...

btw Joao Moutinho , here's an amazing prospect for the future. He and Manuel Fernandes are the central midfielders for the future of our NT.

 

[Bilo90]

sporting to win it all

 

[ADC1987]

Great game!

Sporting played very good.

Moutinho is a class Player!

 

[Adriano7]

Dyer badly missed, o'brien every game i see him he's the f'ing worst defender around at the moment , kliviert biggest pile of ****, Bring back Bellamy and Robert!!!!

 

[muz88]

great second half by sporting but horrible defending by newcastle if only shearer got that pass from kluivert. the second substitution for sporting was the key. what a player. as bilo said, sporting to go through all the way
