QuoteSo what's the record for Wenger - Mclaren, something like 16 played, 13 wins for Wenger and 3 draws. Christ Twente were muck, what a stroll in the park!
And then there's Roddy's `watch Kiev get thumped` comment....
Jesus how much better are Bohs than Spartak Moscwo so
In Trap we trust

liverpool (1) - standard leige (0)
after extra time
liverpool very unimpresive tonight struggled to beat standard leige
and in fact standard were unlucky not to go in at half time 1-0 up rienna made 1 great save .
torres poor spent most of his time going down easy under challanges looking for free kicks . keane very poor also missed one great chance but i always think he needs 2-3 chances to score 1 goal , gerrard non existant for most of match and overhit some terrible passes liverpool only seemed to have plan a and it never worked tonight . need a decent wide player and a creative midfielder and another defender or two.. leige on the other hand looked solid at back & midfield if only they had a decent forward may have got result just wondering how much longer benitiz /liverpool can continue to be lucky in champions league games

" football is a simple game "
What a result for BATE - fantastic stuff. I know Levski are no great shakes but fair play regardless. Hopefully they can stick it to a few moneybags teams in the group stages. If they draw celtic then they are guaranteed at the very least 3 points.Originally Posted by pete
Was just about to post a score update until I realised that was full time.
Greatest achievement in Champions League history?
They may finish pointless in the groups.
Dynamo Kiev 4 Spartak Moscow 1 (8-2 aggregate)
Even if they're hammered 6 times, the 12 million they get should set them up for years.
They were unseeded in the first qualifying round (Drogheda were seeded). Nobody's ever done that before. Also there's no way in hell they're better than a LOI side so hopefully it'll spur Bohs (or whoever) on next year.
Nice to see a cypriot team in there too for the first time.

typical easy group for Mancs and Chelsea
Pool will get through but will make me and the rest of the fans sweat buckets full and leave it til a 9th min injury time screamer from gerrard to get us through.

*(e will probably be Man Utd and Villareal, and h Juventus and Real)
I'd back OL to reach the quarters at least. The smaller clubs will disappoint again I believe. Many of them managing between zero and one point.
Still at Anorthosis got a second Greek team. To show the first one wasn't a fluke.

Playing Real Madrid & Juventus
What about NK Maribor from Slovenia knocking out Lyon in the 3rd qualifying round in 1999? Also Artmedia Bratislava beating Celtic 5-0 was a massive achievement.
And with Cyprus and Belarus now coloured in the Map of Countries who have had teams in the Champions League becomes ever more embarrassing for Ireland.
swap Roma for Bordeaux and id agree fully with that.

Salihamidzic? Are you serious? He's only useful because he's versatile and works hard. He's a good player to have in the squad but he's hardly one to watch. Giovinco would have been a much better choice.
