that's just as bad

Iturbe is just done. His regression continues to confound me. Given a golden chance against a really uninspired Astra side, with Francesco frakking Totti creating chances for him and he still manages to fail to put a single one of them away.....while repeatedly passing the ball to the other team.

At this point, this guy would have a tough time getting in our primavera.

And then there's Vermaelen.....the rust on him was clearer than I've seen than on my Mom's super old Chevy Nova.....couldn't pass out of the back to save his life, couldn't intercept passes, couldn't tackle and was always on his heels....against Astra?....Yup, he needs the pine like I need to go sleep now.

This game was an opportunity for our fringe players to really make a statement. Judging by what passed for football in this game, no one said a damn thing.

Onward to the Round of 32.

Southampton and Inter both out of Europe

Group A: No surprise really, expected either of Fenerbahce or Feyenoord to progress along side MU.

Group B: Pardon my ignorance but I didn't think Apoel will finish ahead of both Olympiacos and Young Boys.

Group C: Shocked with Mainz, also, didn't expected Anderlecht to go through either.

Group D: Business as usual, IMO.

Group E: Again, thought Plazen or Wien are more fancied to make it along side Roma.

Group F: Really, REALLY shocked to see Sassuolo to finish rock-bottom.

Group G: Business as usual.

Group H: Shakhtar did their part while I have no clue about the other three; so I guess it's business as usual as well.

Group I: Don't know what is more shocking; Nice finishing bottom or Krasnodar going through!!!

Group J: Fiorentina did their part while I have no clue about the other three; so I guess it's business as usual as well.

Group K:

Group L: Osmanlispor!!! Expected either Zurich or Bucharest to qualify along side Villarreal.

So, all in all, quite a few surprises. With Ludogorets, Besiktas, BMG, Rostov, Tottenham, Warsaw, Copenhagen and Lyon thrown into the fray; let's see how it shapes up in R16.

I guess you meant R32

just love Europa League. All these small or unheard clubs like Boys, Beer, Ludo and some other clubs from my favourite cities like Warsaw, Wien and Prague pour their heart in this competition looking forward to R32 !

No, I meant R16. I think there will be few more scalps in R32.

ohh I realised now what you meant. Lets see if we get entertaining fixtures for the next round.

Draw is happening now.

Russian and Ukrainian teams still cannot be drawn together

How shitty is this video player on the UEFA website

works fine for me

Legia-Ajax seems like the only interesting tie so far

It's like some tiny pop up that can be extended to a huge pop up which can't be scrolled or adjusted in any way.
Can't even get the whole *bleep* picture on the screen.

United - Saint-Ettiene

Roma - Villareal

Nice tie

Villarreal - Roma should be great.

Celta Vigo - Shakthar

Gent - Tottenham

Makes me physically sick that there's a video laid over the website now which doesn't show the whole picture (lower bottom with the team infos etc cut off while there's loads off space above the video available), but when I scroll down it only scolls the website in the layer beneath the video and the video can't be moved.
Actually makes me really sick in the stomach and I'm getting *bleep* mad.

I can't *bleep* watch this. I'm about to *bleep* smash my laptop.

You got some weird browser situation going on. The video is just there with plenty of space for me.

BMG - Fiorentina

Italian teams with the worst draws possible

BMG-Fiore sounds great as well.
