2012/13 Europa League thread

[Gazz]

Benfica are toast once we unleash our Marveaux/Cisse 93rd minute special attack.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Switzerland is not a bad away trip to make, especially compared to Chelsea and especially just a few days before we play each other.

[HailtotheYo]

Good thing that Chelsea v Spurs was (for now) avoided. The only winners in that tie would be Arsenal.

At this point, any win would do.

[Szumi]

Won't Lazio have to play this game under a stadium ban?

*Unless we progress in the FA Cup, in which case the semifinal vs City would push the Spurs game back.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

It's all so confusing!

[GoN_]

It was a nice draw for us.

[stokeriño]

Chelsea team: Cech, Azpi, Luiz, Terry, Bertrand, Lampard, Ramires, Benayoun, Mata, Moses, Torres.

Happy with that lineup. Cole and Cahill are injured and the likes of Hazard, Ivanovic etc. have been playing 90 mins every game lately.

[Colly]

Well that's made my shit copy and paste look silly. I'm on a train, hurry up train!

Edit: Simpson. Odds on first Benfica goal coming from an unchallenged cross from the left? Put your mortgage on it.

What match is on ITV?

[GoN_]

I'm sorry for getting them in Portuguese, but I didn't have time to take the picture myself from uefa.com.

[Baddar]

What match is on ITV?

Spurs.

[Jimmy]

and our team goes like this

Friedel, Naughton, Gallas, Vertonghen, Assou-Ekotto, Dembele, Parker, Lennon, Holtby, Bale & Adebayor

hahahah, Gallas. Happy for Holtby.

[GoGo Yubari]

Basel getting lots of chances. Really wish we'd started Caulker over Gallas...

[GoN_]

Oh fuck...

Never doubt Danny Simpson and his Iniesta-esque passing abilities.

[GoGo Yubari]

Oh boy, Aaron Lennon's hurt again!

[GoN_]

Oh god that was close...

RODRIGO!

[Cymbols]

Isn't that the same guy that was on loan at Bolton? Looks like a completely different player.
