All things to do with UEFA Cup go in here

 

[Nemanjaaa]

Do we not already have a UEFA Cup thread?

City and Spurs are both losing 2-0, City playing Racin Santander and Spurs Spartak Moscow I think. I think both are through already but neither will top their groups if the results stay the same.

AC Milan will win this hands down!

 

[Nemanjaaa]

Hmm they should do but everyone said that about Bayern Munich lats year and Zenit knocked them out. The english clubs have a decent shout.

tottenham were abysmal in the first half, but pretty good in the second.
as for city, looks like 32 will soon become 33 despite their cash.
what a crying shame that would be.

with regards to winners, every year there's one or two teams that everybody assumes are champions league level teams. ac milan are that team this year and the pressure on them is immense. i'd bet against them winning it.

[scottsati]

some interesting ties in that lot

 

[Zenitka]

We will won it again....Stuggart will out

 

[reddwarf]

Some decent looking ties. Bremen v Milan could be a good one.

Villa will find the trip to Moscow very tough but I fancy them to win at Villa Park.

Hopefully Copenhagen will dump out City.

 

[Jay007]

Some good ties in that draw as well.

Aston Villa v CSKA Moscow
Fiorentina v Ajax
Werder Bremen v AC Mian
Zenit st Petersurg v VFB Stuggart
Shakhtar Donetsk v Tottenham

These are all great ties. The best imo. Tottenham and Villa may struggle but hopefully, for English footballs sake they get through (then they play each other ) but I think one, or both could well be put out.

 

[Zenitka]

Aston Villa v CSKA Moscow
Fiorentina v Ajax
Werder Bremen v AC Mian
Zenit st Petersurg v VFB Stuggart
Shakhtar Donetsk v Tottenham

.

Aston Villa will beat Moscow, if Dzagoev will be not so good.

Fiorentina with Mutu will beat Holland.

Milan maybe will win...

Zenit....ehm... Denisov,Pogrebnyak,Danny and "Nevsky front" will win....hope...

and finally Shakhtar...I have seen Tottenham's game yesterday(with meat) and if they will play so...Lennon is a great player,but Ukrain will beat bad Tottenham...

I fancy AC Milan and yeah you were correct Bayern were favs last year but AC MILAN are a different montser with some real special players .

Who have bayern got apart from Ribery , schweinstiger and toni ?
