The UEFA Cup 2011/12

Alio · September 15, 2011

Obviously way inferior to the Champions League thread...smaller attendances, some early kick off's, Channel 5 FFS, but I'd still do anything to see us play on a Thursday evening

Just Stoke, Birmingham, Fulham, Tottenham and Celtic. Could be quite a thriller :huh:

AJ has just put Fulham ahead. Jol's in, of course

Europa league now mate! And yes, I miss it badly. I loved playing obscure Ukrainian teams.

Great goal by AJ as well. He nicked a poor pass across the Twente defence and deftly lobbed the keeper as he rushed out.

I always liked AJ.

It will always be better known as the UEFA Cup, well that's my get out for the error anyway...

Celtic are losing away to Athletico Madrid, and Birmingham are losing at home to Braga

Falcao I think scored in about 3 minutes against Celtic. Jebus they are crap.

Siem De Jong's brother, Luuk, pegs one back for Twente.

PAOK! PAOK! PAOK!

Celtic are about to make history as 'the only team to get knocked out of the Europa League Twice in the same season' were they in CL ? 3 times in 1 season would take some beating.

Wish we were in Europe, even if it is the Europa League.

It just feels right when we play in Europe.

I've never heard AJ's and David Beckham's voice in the same room....

the league format is a pathetic waste of time. make it a knockout competition all the way or fck it off

Jo missed a penalty for PAOK , after they made him retake it for encroachment , jammy spuds , I thought he had gone back to Brazil .

Decided to watch Brum v Braga , decent game , it looks like Brum have a proper player on their hands in Naathan Redmond , he looked lively against us pre-season and tonight was the best player on the pitch imo .

For a lad of 17 he was class in possession , dont think he wasted it once , was unlucky with a 20 yarder when the score was 1-2 .

Definitely one to watch .

Don't think it was our beloved Jo. It was the Lino or someone called Lino more likely that missed

Redmond is superb, look forward to seeing how he turns out too

Lino has been there for a while I think, he was playing there when I used to watch them.

Not our Jo? ....Damnit .

Dosy Sky presenter reckoned it was ex - city player Jo , ya I was thinking he went back to Brazil didnt he ?

Ya Redmond looks the part , has the makings of being a top player .
