Tonight's football thread

You've got to admit Noel, this is a dream draw for us. We won't be expected to win and that's when we are dangerous.

No.. you go in as plucky under dogs.. little city who have risen from the bottom of the pile..

Or.. a team that spent 100 million.. on a team which were champions 12 months ago..

Should be a great match, no glory in beating Olympiakos

[Alf]

Andre Villas-Boas out! they obviously don't like 5 goal thrillers at White Hart Lane

Precisely Alf. I think that the rags getting Olympiakos is brilliant.

Just imagine how it will look if we beat Barca and they get stuffed by Olympiakos who a few years ago in United minds would have only been there to make the numbers up.

Wee Davey is on a hiding to nothing.

Ideally though we would both win and draw each other later on - with us giving them another schooling both home and away. I could see a 10 nil score line over 2 legs

This season is getting to the stage where I am seriously thinking that if there is a God up there he has decided to pay us blues back for all those shit times we had but remained as loyal as you can be to a club that at the time became a laughing stock.

Well whose laughing now !!!

[IainR]

Yep you've certainly got the better draw here...

[that_fjell_guy]

Definitely. Who are they going to get who can do a better job? If I were a Spurs fan, I'd be fuming.

They better not come sniffing after Brian McDermott.

Have you heard a rumour!? :/

Well God's just taken Aguerro from you.. so hes got a sense of humour anyway..

Shocked at AVB.. they sack Redknapp for finishing 4th, only missing out on CL qualification because of an unbelievably lucky final win by Chelsea..

And now Sack AVB after selling his best player. I want to know who the buys were? AVB's or Baldini's...

Not sure who will go next.. Capello? Could do a job but it wont be the Spurs way, he's not a fluid coach.

Hoddle? I'm not sure about him, out of the game for a long time..

Its a strange season though. There's only 6 points between Liverpool and Spurs.. and Liverpool have been flying.. its such a fine line, 2 humpings have made it look far worse than it is.

5 Live just stated that he's out for 4 weeks but will be back for Barca game.

If 5 Live say it, it must be true

[that_fjell_guy]

Its certainly madness to rule your lot out IainR. If City start to get a head of steam away from home as well as at home they may take some stopping. Arsenal still seem a tad fragile, Chelsea too inconsistent and Liverpool too. Spurs have committed Hari-kari by the looks of things. Everton to nick it anyone?
