Am I the only one that this doesn't concern... no matter what, we have to play the two games no matter what order they come.

I also prefer for my team to play the away game second where, away goals count.

If hypothetically we played out a 0-0 draw in Paris on Saturday and then in the return leg next Wednesday we were at home and France score... we would need 2 to counteract it!

Stephen Ireland scored the goal, before anyone gets their hopes up.

I wouldn't rule him running out onto the field at some point during the match and banging one in only to be tackled by security and dragged away in a straightjacket.

Lets not devote any more bandwidth to that complete moron...we have players who want to play for their country to talk about.

I can see this ending 1-1, we'll go ahead but one of the keystone cops at the back will do something stupid and they'll get a draw.

I think if we are still alive in the 2nd leg we can really go for broke...i dont think the french defence is that good and our strikers are'nt actually that bad, 2-2 second leg and we are there!
