QUOTE (misha @ Sep 1 2008, 09:07 PM)  No, as far as I remember, next time we can submit a list after the first round is after the January transfer window. Ah, you could be right, yes. |

I don't think Nesta's exclusion from the list is that big a deal. There's speculation in the Italian press that his injury may mean he'll be out the majority of the season, but the fact that he's already running indicates to me that it won't be that bad.
In any event, traditionally for the initial 2 games and the group games, teams don't always field their strongest 11. Last year, for example, Fiorentina didn't field Montolivo for any of those games and Vieri played more of them than Mutu. Assuming that Milan makes it past the group stage, I expect the A team to be fielded then. And...ack at Benfica-Napoli. That's hard. I like both teams! |

Does anybody know if mediaset managed to get the rights for the UEFA Cup? I know R7 mentioned it awhile back but only said they were in negotiations (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

They're comfortably in midtable right now, Jack. They've drawn both games (the Portuguese league has only played 2 so far). One of those draws was against Porto.

HT Litex 1-1 Villa. Litex are a better team than I thought, very composed on the ball, but we've been poor yet still have an away goal (And one that was wrongly disallowed! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) ) while missing 3 or 4 key players.
Reo-Coker has scored 2 goals in the last 3 days.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) FT Litex Lovech 1-3 Villa. They had a player sent off for two yellow cards, then another cleared it off the line with his hand in a hilarious fashion, who was also sent off. Reo-Coker in the first half to equalise. Barry gave us the lead from a penalty, Petrov scored in the 92nd minute in his home country to give us a good victory. This post has been edited by kurtsimonw: Sep 18 2008, 05:10 PM |

Brann are leading 2-0 against Deportiva La Coruna, totally outplaying them.
I still hope Brann gets relegated at the end of the season, but if they eliminate Deportivo then that would be a huge victory for Norwegian football. This post has been edited by Locke Lamora: Sep 18 2008, 06:56 PM |

QUOTE (Rossoneri7 @ Sep 18 2008, 10:19 PM) So Napoli will be played at the same time as Milan? I wish them luck, I hope they go far in the competition Funny, I want them out in the group stages. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Arrogant little club driven on their past glories (Maradona), their fans are one of the most over the top and violent I've seen. Plus, they're playing Benfica today, more reasons for them to lose. QUOTE (Locke Lamora @ Sep 18 2008, 10:54 PM) Brann are leading 2-0 against Deportiva La Coruna, totally outplaying them.

Thanks for the heads up about your country's league, Lock. I'll try and keep an eye out for these clubs, now that we're full and frontal in the UEFA Cup. I still can't believe it's happening. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Then again, we deserved every inch of this, so that figures. |
