Europa League 09-10 Thread

I dread to think what Juventus would have done to us.

[Hobo]

Fulham are currently 3-1 up against Juve. 4-4 on agg.

DEMPSEY YOU SEXY MOTHERFUCKER!

[Summers]

Oh my Hodgson. He's a miracle worker.

[Szumi]

Clint Dempsey, you are one beautiful man you

This has been absolutely classic. I'd love to see Zamora cap it all off with another goal.

[Hobo]

Well done Fulham. Now if only Liverpool can beat Lille.

Nice to see an English team playing to win in the Europa League. It pains me to see a team like Everton, Villa or a relegation threatened team throwing on their B team so they can focus on the league.

This is one of the biggest matches in Fulham's history and they played as if it mattered because it did.

Well done Fulham for beating Juve after conceding very early.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful game by Benfica. Especially the second half. Marseille got one chance, they scored, Benfica completely dominated the game, and scored twice in the final minutes. Wonderful.

The refereeing, though... It was simply disgusting.

It always gets me when sides like Everton and Villa rest players to concentrate on the league, when teams in their position play the league games for the very purpose of qualifying for tournaments like this.

Huzzah.

I don''t know whether Channel 5 patronising Lucas at half-time was out of complete stupidity or whether they actually have a bit of an agenda against certain players.

"Yes, Liverpool fans, that IS Lucas getting forward!!!!!"

Except he's been doing it pretty much all season. In truth, the only thing he's done wrong this season is choose not to die his hair ginger, grow a beard and change his name to Xabi Alonso.

God I hate Juventus, so it made it all the sweeter.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Absolutely SHOCKING decision to send off Cannavaro I thought, changed the entire game. While I like Juve, I'm really happy to see Fulham go through. I'd love them to go all the way and still think they could, even though people continue to write them off every time. Hodgson is superb, simple as.

[Liam]

I think that the red was harsh, for sure, but by that point we'd already had about three wrestling matches in the box for corners, where if the ref was doing his job, should have seen us get a couple of penalties.

[Colossus]

So, Benfica vs Pool? I have to go with Benfica, because they are playing great

[Johnny Latino Heat]

So, gonna see Benfica vs Liverpool live. Hope the game is half as good as Benfica vs Marseille.

[Hobo]

Liverpool 1-0 up and a man down at half time.

Are Benfica managed by Portugal's Big Sam? Because they certainly follow the same school of tackling.

I understand why Babel went, although can't see how what he did was any worse than Luisao - putting your hand to someone's face with no force whatsoever (whilst walking backwards) is far, far less dangerous than booting someone in the back of the knees at full pelt.
