UEFA Cup 4th round draw

Try to tackle me and I'll break your fscking legs!W00t! NUFC are through to the 4th round of the UEFA cup. After the first half last night I thought we wouldn't make it - Valarenga played like they did in the second half of the first leg and were all over us. We just weren't in it apart from being gifted a goal by a totally cack decision from the linesman assistant referee. Bobby obviously beat them with big fsckoff sticks at half time as we came out much better. I was mystified at why Bellas had been taken off (unless it was due to injury from the constant hacking off that Hagen gimp - I was fully expecting to see him laid out by Al but it didn't happen - bah!) but I'm glad he was as Ameobi was excellent - 2 goals and some lush touches and turns. Still think he's shiat Dogs? Goals in Champions League, UEFA Cup & Premier League say different. :)

Anyhoo the draw is at 1pm GMT today. I will post a link to the live draw Flash gizmo UEFA usually do when I can find it but for now you'll have to be satisfied with this. It's a list of the seeded and unseeded teams. They are supposed to be divided into 2 pots of 4 seeded and 4 unseeded but there are no details of the division as yet. We aren't seeded (which I knew) but neither are Celtic - which means we can't meet them in the next round. We get to play one of the following:-

Barca, Valencia, Liverpool, Inter, Roma, Mallorca, Bordeaux, PSV
If we play as badly as we have recently then we are out next round - however we seem to do OK against bigger teams (/remembers wonderful night in Milan last year!) so bring them on! :)
