Oh joy. Pity I wont be albe to go to either of the Barca/Celtic matches or be in Ireland for them. At least if I was in Cork I could have fun when Celtic fans in Tom Lynch's!

I dont think it was a formal thing. But yea they still do I think. Thats how Rangers have Arteta AFAIK.

Perhaps I didnt make myself clear. The reason I would be having fun with Celtic fans is because of the total shock they'd be in to see and Irish person not supporting "Ireland's Greatest Football Team" but rather hoping they'd get spanked.

I've no time for Celtic FC PLC.

Valencia look like the team to beat. They were magnificant last night in their match against Besiktas. An awsome display of attacking football.

Amazing - but no spainish team has been knocked out of europe yet

BTW Next year with the new UEFA Cup group stages the groups will consist of 5 teams with the first three teams going through. Kind of ruins it if you ask me

Have the later stages of the draw been made out as well.Someone said to me that liverpool can meet newcastle in the semis if they both make it that far.

Some interesting matches now that its down to the last 16. By the way BBC 3 are showing Newcastle's UEFA Cup matches. I stumbled across it last night.

You forgot a few others.
Valencia CF (CVA)
Villarreal CF (CVA)
RCD Mallorca (BAL)
FC Internazionale FC (PAD)
Club Brugge KV (VLA)
Newcastle United FC (RGL)
Liverpool FC (PRS)
Olympique de Marseille (ALG)

and last but not least.....Celtic (IRL)

The only one right was PSV Eindhoven (HOL) which is in on of the Hollands, the provinces in the south of the Netherlands which are entitled to call themselves that (maybe wrong here but who cares).

Not much I'd guess.

Then again they are one of the biggest British club so my support wont really go missing as long as they have some great "patriot" Irish fans who flood the Royal coffers with their own hard earned Euros to support Irelands Greatest Ever Team[SIZE=1]tm[/SIZE] to prop up their fans in Britian
