All New Slimline European Latest Thread

Just Pat's holding the flag for LoI in Europe tonight, so what do we all expect?

I'm hoping Pat's can win the leg, the Romanians were very cocky before the first game and they'll be thinking it's tie over at this stage, I think Pat's showed enough to suggest they can score a few against them but it's likely they'll also concede which should kill the tie.

I'll go for an optimistic 2-1 to Pat's on the night.

Im hoping pats run themselves into the ground .Get well beaten and have a few players sent off so we will beat them on sunday in inchicore .

just being honest !

Home win or score-draw

Fabio on the score sheet again

Loads of niggly fouls & a handfull of yellows in the first half (mainly for Steaua)

Probably a Pat's sending off around 80 mins

First taxi back to Inchicore & a 'few' pints in Pat's pub

All this for less than €50 - great value entertainment!!!

Would like to but a combiniation of factors is ruling me out. Hopefully can find a stream to watch it later. A high intensity start, an early deflected goal and suddenly the tie could be on again.

Of the 8 teams in the 4th pot of the Champions League draw, 7 of them are making their CL bows:

Wolfsburg
Standard Liege
FC Zurich
Rubin Kazan
Unirea Urziceni
APOEL Nicosia
Debrecen

Definately a small measure of hope in that.

Platinis plan is working

18 national champions in the last 32, which is a recent record too.

There's an eighth group debutante too - AZ. They're second seeds though.

Wolfsburg would be a really nasty fourth seed to get. In fact, try a group with Manchester United, Juventus, Atletico and Wolfsburg.

Also, Debrecen are seeded lower than the LoI teams.

That's guaranteed under the current system.

A special in Paddy Powers at the moment Pats to win or draw at 5/4

Going to the game tonight, would be great if pats got an early goal just to liven it up anyway

Wonder will there be any Pats stuff on sale.....ie scarfs, etc...cause I missed buying a scarf the last time i was in inichore - the club shop was closed.
