Haha how blatant was that foul!

Shelvey has just missed from a cm out...

It's all gone a bit wrong with a Coates OG.

[Starvinho]

Udinese 2-1. Coates own goal. Shocker...

3-1 now.

3-1 now.

Gerrard's come on and we've lost all semblance of shape in the midfield. Udinese have gone through us twice with no problems at all.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Di Natale is so brilliant

[Starvinho]

What a strike from Suarez! 3-2

[Hobo]

3-2, Suarez!

[Hobo]

Carragher just creamed an Udinese player. Knocked him into the stand with a shoulder barge.

Finished 3-2.

I don't feel that game needed Gerrard. It needed Lucas.

[Nerf]

Looking for positives, I'm well impressed with out resolve. Even just a few weeks ago, we would have just turned off, but we kept fighting until the bitter end. That's a good sign, at least.

[EddieG]

Just came home from pub, upset bout the score, Suarez' fk was lovely though, and I had a gut instinct and put a cheeky fiver on a shelvey header at 12/1

[Hobo]

It was just that short spell at the start of the second half where we lost the game.

It's gonna be Anzhi, Udinese and Liverpool for this group, obviously. It'll be interesting to see how we do against Anzhi.

From the quotes I've seen BR was not impressed.

Is Bordeaux that bad or Shola Ameobi finally learned how to play football?

[Colly]

Sholas been ace and injury free for about six months, but even ignoring that his European record is superb. Goal at the Nou Camp anyone?

GTFO

[stokeriño]

Uefa hopes to boost the Europa League's profile by asking managers and players to refer to it in glowing terms.

Ahaha. Hahaha. Ha.

Good luck.

[Gazz]

Alternative plan

1. No CL losers to enter halfway through.

2. Place in next season's CL for the winner

3. Moar prize moneh!

[Plubby]

Honestly until I won it on Football Manager I always presumed the Europa League winner did go to the CL. I think it's stupid that it doesn't.

[Nerf]

Honestly until twenty second ago I always presumed the Europa League winner did go to CL. I think it's stupid that it doesn't.

Lazio have been fined £32k for the racist behaviour of their fans at their game against us.
