UEFA Cup 2008/2009

[Scott McFly]

So any of these UEFA Cup games tonight on the TV?

Oh hang on, just checked ITV 4 - the Man City game's on there.

[Captain Kirk]

Good odds for tonight on a few betting sites, PSG, Bremen, Marseille and City at 13/2.

[Baddar]

I would say 1/2 for City to win with Betfred isn't too bad if you're willing to risk quite a bit on them.

[Captain Kirk]

Aalborg have suprised quite a lot of teams this season though.

[Baddar]

Fair point, but none of those teams have Stephen Ireland. >_>

[The Future]

They scored from a set piece while Vidic was defending.

Thus Aalborg can do anything they want

[-A-]

Wow, fantastic goal from SWP. City 2-0 up and they look in the mood for a rout.

[Animal]

Ajax is playing Marseille tonight. They have to win 1-0 or with a 2 goal difference to advance. So here is me hoping they will beat those french bastards 4-0

[Herr Matzat]

Weder Bremen 8-)

[Herr Matzat]

Teams in the Quaterfinal Draw

Man. City

Udinese

Shakhtar

Hamburg

Dynamo Kyiv

Marseille

Bremen

PSG

Looks like Bremen could do it.

How are city leading by 4-0? Wasn't the home game 2-0 ?

[-A-]

Yeah, it's 0-0 in the second leg. Hasn't been a great game, City are soaking up most of the pressure and then every now and then Ireland or Wright-Phillips makes a good run that leads nowhere.

Marseille, Bremen and City are probably the favourites but could easily see anyone left winning it.

EDIT: Now City have conceded a goal and a couple of minutes later a penalty. 2-0.

Ched Evans isn't having a good week. Now the referee's raping him. Never a penalty in a million years.

Gotta laugh at the Channel Five commentator though... "Man City are just cruising through to the next round now.." Bang, goal. Bang, dodgy penalty, scored. Extra time.

I see those two missing goals that Matzat spotted have turned up after all.

[Adam]

It's penalties in Denmark, come on Aalborg, would be great for them if they won this and got to the Quarter Finals now.

[Herr Matzat]

Yeah, it's 0-0 in the second leg. Hasn't been a great game, City are soaking up most of the pressure and then every now and then Ireland or Wright-Phillips makes a good run that leads nowhere.

In that case Hamburg sould be up to the challange aswell. I have no idea of Man City at all, besides knowing they exist. But there is just no über team that could not be beaten around right now.

The UEFA Page kinda wosselt me up on the goals. Draw tomorrow, can´t wait... :->

[Farmer Reil]

Thank god for that. If Aalborg had won, as much as I wanted them to before kickoff, it would've been one of the biggest injustices in recent memory. The good news is, the club's physios have identified the hair on Ched Evans' pinkie that touched the ball, and had it shaved off.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Would love to see City go all the way and win it, although I can see them just falling short. If it's not them, I'm pushing for Udinese, although I think it's turned out to be really open now. Anyone not named fucking Werder Bremen will make me happy

[Captain Kirk]

I'm a City fan but can't see them winning it, I fancy one of the Ukranian teams Shakthar or Kyiv.

[Herr Matzat]

Quaterfinales

Hamburger SV - Man City

PSG - Dynamo Kieve

Donezk - Marseille

Bremen - Udinese

Semi Finaels

Bremen/Udinese vs Hamburg/Man City

PSG/Kieve vs Donezk/Marseille

Finaele

PSG/Kieve/Donezk/Marseille vs Bremen/Udinese/Hamburg/Man City

Around the time of the Semi Final there also is a National Cup Semi Finale Game of Hamburg vs Bremen, the League Game of the Second haf of the season only is a bit earlyer... so they could end up playing 3 Times in 10 Days and 4 Times in one monthe... :-X
