Cheers Zenga.

Come on Neftchi Bakou.

[Captain Shamrock]

RF,

I'm guessing that Rangers will probably be travelling to Moscow as the first leg finished in a 0 - 0 draw with the second leg being played in Moscow.

Come on Shelborne! That would be amazing if they get through, as they are all part-timers, like the majority of Rangers' squad appear to be.


I can't imagine Benfica and Anderlecht being happy about the draw. Two very good teams traditionally and Anderlecht romped their league last year.


Man. United will have a tough time against Dinamo Bucharest. They have been very difficult over the last few years for any team.....Bring on the new season and another WHITEWASH of the Huns.

Captain,

Shelbourne played hajduk quite well. To get 2 goals in split it impressive. Especially if u haven't played in front of torcida(Hajduk's fan's!). They scored early on and late in the game. I guess well be watching anything is good for hajduk except a 1:0 or 2:0 loss?? i think that is right.

Guess well see this week...

Give yer heed a shake... ManU will shite-kick Dinamo. After their season last year, the guys are angry... nothing will be taken lightly.

GoooooooooooooyouuuuuuuuuuuuuReeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeds

[Captain Shamrock]

Man United will be lucky to be in the top 4 this year and will struggle with this team......

Congrats to Shelbourne who humped Hajduk Shit today 2 - 0. Not bad for a bunch of part-timers but I guess it shows just how bad the Croatian league is. Right, CDK?

The Huns are off to Russia and the best thing is everyone in Hunland thinks this will be a walkover. CSKA Moscow has spent over 17 million pounds in signings in order to progress in the CL. This is 16 million 500 000 pounds more than the Huns have spent and they have basically signed diddies.

Big Eck will be gone by October, once Celtic stuff them for the 7th straight time and they have been knocked out of the CL.

Captain, Where's Celtic. BTW great new look. It's all green.

[Captain Shamrock]

Captain, Where's Celtic

I guess we have to wait until the group stages because of our 17 point humping/Whitewash over the Huns.

[steve1234]

Oh yeah, thats right. Thanks for clarifiying. 17 that is a lumping.

[BJB]

Congrats to captain and shelbourne. Can't even tell u what the papers are writing in croatia about Hajduk. Freaking brutal. disgrace... Oh well maybe next time...

Good luck to shelbourne... never heard of them before this... and they on to the 3rd round.

[Dapotayto]

Great stuff by Shelbourne but having to play Deportive La Coruna in the next round isn't the nicest of rewards. Looks like they will have to shove a few more leprechauns up the chute for this matchup.

[Captain Shamrock]

Huns 1 CSKA Moscow 2


The dirty bastard Rae should have been sent off for a kick to the head of a player who was on the ground. Even the hun commentators on BBC said he was 'VERY lucky' to avoid any punishment. All scrappy goals according to the commentators but they're convinced the Huns will go through because CSKA is not that strong, despite having played 18 league games.....Rangers will only get better... It's nice to hear the commentators laughing at the incident now.

[BlazeArmy]

5 yellows to rangers players. That won't hurt them if they move on.

[Dapotayto]

Liverpool 2 Graz 0

Michael with a nice view from the bench to watch the Liverlads start their journey to the Champions League proper.

Have fun in Romania, Sir Alex. Go go Dinamo.

[zenga]

Today full time results.

FT CSKA Moscow (Rus) 2 - 1 Rangers (Sco)

FT Dynamo Kyiv (Ukr) 1 - 2 Trabzonspor

FT PAOK Saloniki (Gre) 1 - 2 Maccabi T-Aviv (Isr)

FT Graz AK (Aus) 0 - 2 Liverpool (Eng)

FT Benfica 1 - 0 Anderlecht (Bel)

FT Juventus (Ita) 2 - 2 Djurgarden (Swe)

[Walks]

Do you think we could borrow Michael for the game Dap ?? Rumour has it that Sir Alex's next attacking option might have to be a call up for knvb

[Dapotayto]

I think you'd rather have George Michael than KNVB. Or maybe the Article Bot. That guy is fcuking relentless.

[knvb]

Why do you have to go and drag me into this?

[Walks]

It's probably the only thread in TTP that doesn't have your stunning insight

I'll get your coat ..........
