W00t! NUFC are through to the 4
th 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! :)
