It can't be long before a Welsh or Irish side manage to make their way into a group stage. They're getting closer.
Gutted that their European Comedy Roadshow will be on hiatus for another season.

Nothing will match being in Cyprus and finding out Artmedia Bratislava had humped them 5-0. me and my brother refused to believe the barman when he told us the result.

Was that Strachan's first game GF?

Also, thanks (you ****) for coining the phrase 'Thursday Cup' earlier in the season. Love using it towards Liverpool fans in work.

Yup, also their worst ever European defeat. And you're welcome.

I don't think we'll do too badly, we didn't do too badly on our travels last season. Our home games were a disaster, but could have been oh so different - I don't think I've ever seen a team counter attack with such murderous efficiency as Sevilla did, and had we been given a stone wall penalty in the first half when we were on top, it could have been different. Against Unirea, we missed a penalty just before half time, and it was a freak night, every shot they hit seemed to go in.

You never know, as long as playing in Europe doesn't get us too fatigued for the Prem we have a great chance of finishing top 4 again this year.

Love our CL Group btw, we'll be up against 3 quality teams!

I'd say Spurs fairly comfortably have the fourth-best starting XI. Squad's miles behind Citeh's.

You know, Rangers might stand a chance in our group, depending how crap Valencia are without their main two... They'll be no love lost from us though, and dont be expecting a friendly welcome in Manchester after your last visit.....

So it's Chelsea-United-City in whatever order, then Spurs then Arsenal?

Did you mean that Spurs have the fourth best starting XI from Group A of CL or did you mean in the Premiership?

From FC Utrecht's wiki page:

Will go down in cartoon glory for hammering Celtic 4-0 in the 2010 Badminton Championship.

I lol'd.
