2010/2011 Europa League

[EddieG]

Just like the Champs League, 3rd qualifying round draw today.

Liverpool are playing the winner of Rabotnicki and Mika, am I the only one who can see Liverpool struggle against either of these no name teams?

[GoN_]

Yes, you are

[Hobo]

I did not expect Liverpool to be involved this early on.

[Colly]

I hope Mika kicks their arse. Then play a London team next round, visit the FA HQ at Wembley, and take down Ian Watmore for 'trying to be like Graham Kelly, ooooh!'.

Hows that for a longwinded Mika joke that relies on you being aware of the current and long previous FA Chief Exec?

[Hobo]

One thing that hasn't been mentioned Shamrock Rovers are playing Juventus tonight! I'm actually going to be torn between that and the Liverpool match, meaning I'll have that on the TV and a stream of the Liverpool game because it's not on TV.

[stokeriño]

I just happened to flick over to the BBC Live Text page on Liverpool v Rabotnicki, and...

10 mins: Joe Cole is digging into his big bag of tricks, but the results are patchy at best at the moment. For every backheel that finds a team-mate, there's a flick that only gifts possession back to Rabotnicki.

Well done, Sam Lyon. You've just summarised Joe Cole's entire career.

Also, N'Gog scores again. Who needs Torres, eh?

[Adam]

I know it's only Rabotnicki but Liverpool are playing pretty well, and playing positively. I hope they play like this in the league too, seeing them really pushing on and being very willing to attack is refreshing. Of course I know the fact they're playing a Macedonian First Division team will probably be a factor there.

And David Ngog is so annoying, he has good potential but his decision making on the ball is atrocious.

[hugobomb]

Shamrock Rovers holding Juve to a draw thus far!

Motherwell only need another goal to be level on agg, British team doing alright tonight, if we ignore Bangor being 10-3 down on agg

[Cadj]

Hibs.

First Celtic crash out the Champions League, then Hibs are thrashed out 6-2 by NK Maribor.

Well done to Motherwell though.

[ONO]

Villa away to Rapid Vienna tonight. Kick off I think is at 5:45pm live on ITV4, for anyone that wants to watch.

[Colly]

I was planning on it. Are Man City on TV tonight too? I've found L'Pool on ITV but since Joe Coles fupped my Dream Team already I don't want to watch them...

[Crybaby Bunting]

It'd be a delicious irony for Balotelli to move to Man City to avoid racial abuse only to get berated in his first match by Romanians

[ONO]

I was planning on it. Are Man City on TV tonight too? I've found L'Pool on ITV but since Joe Coles fupped my Dream Team already I don't want to watch them...

Nah can't see City. They will probably be on next week I'd imagine.

[EddieG]

Ooooooooooooooooh, game on.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Not a bad result for Villa from the looks of things.

Dirty idiotic fans certainly annoyed me, deciding to throw water over an injured player being stretchered off of the field. Sure it wont harm him, but show some fucking respect.

[Pesci]

Glad to see us resting Ngog for the Trabzonspor game. You have to protect your star players and David is certainly one of those

[ONO]

Aye. They also decided to throw lighters and other things at Guzan. Scum.

[therockbox]

Not been good start for Joe at Liverpool.

[Guest Jacob]

Albrighton will be in the senior side for England in time for the France game i bet.

Best player on the field tonight. Nothing seems to faze him at all.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Liverpool disallowed a second and a debut goal for Poulsen, shame too.

On the replay though, a tad offside, although that's not even why it wasn't given.

And Albrighton has looked great so far. Granted I've only seen him in two games, but he really looks like he's got great potential.
