Uefa cup

[Old red eyes]

St Petersburg v Bayern starting now. Florence v Rangers later.

 

Hope Bayern get hammered.

[Old red eyes]

1-0 to Petersburg. Only 4 minutes gone like.

[R A Softlad]

2-0 Petersburg

[Old red eyes]

Bayern had more of the ball and the refereeing decisions and still look crap. Ribery has tried like.

[Old red eyes]

3-0 Petersburg. Bye bye Bayern. German commentator sounding pissed off. BTW, Lahm is having a nightmare.

[R A Softlad]

Well they've won the league already. Still good for a laugh.

[Kahnee]

Lahm is having a nightmare.

 

According to Revista on Tuesday, his move to Spain is now down to 'when' rather than 'if'

[Barnes' left foot]

4-0 Petersburg

Nothing concrete in the German press. Still getting the line it will be either a PL or La Liga club. Not going to say he's s*** after this one performance, the whole Bayern team have been poor and have had to chase the game from the off. He's still be a 5000% improvement on Ginger nuts, but i believe the price will put us off. Unless of course Hicks f***s off and we get a nice war chest from DIC.

Surely you're mistaken. German commentators are always impeccably impartial .....

 

Any way after last night seeing Europe's top two tw*t teams go through to a final, it's nice to see the third placed team getting a stuffing

Impartial my a***. It was a case of how bad Bayern were rather than how good Petersburg played. Seeing Bayern getting a t***ting is always good.

Zednit t***ted Leverkusen away a short while back as well.

How are The Pope's O'Rangers doing?

[Shirohana]

How are The Pope's O'Rangers doing?

 

Shoite.

Still 0-0, even though Fiorentina are all over them.

[Tosh]

How are The Pope's O'Rangers doing?

a) Playing all the football, and outclassing the Italians all over the pitch

b) Doing a Houllier away from home

c) Hanging on by the skin of their teeth and lumping it upfield for Darcheville to chase

 

Choose wisely young Kahnee

[Kahnee]

Shoite.

So not that shoite as things stand then

How are The Pope's O'Rangers doing?

 

 

Sebastien Frey has gone off into the town centre for a drink as there is no danger of Rangers getting near his goal. Il Pennello is nice restaurant there. La Ribotta is a decent bar run by fanatical Fiorentina fans. (They always used to let me Liverpool games on the projector screen in the back room)

 

 

 

As you can tell not a lot is happening.

Petersburg played without 2 key players banned, including their leader Arshavin, and 4 players injured and still goes to Manchester. I'm not their fan but can't help respecting Advocaat and the job he's doing there.

You will obviously have seen a great deal more of Arshavin, but he impressed me against Leverkusen. Is he worth a bid, even if only to p*ss of Everton who have been linked with him quite a bit?

They played as a team and Bayern didn't. They were so quick to close down in midfield and that Tomostschuck ( sp ) had a great game at defensive midfield. Rubin Kazan look like the team to beat in Russia this season ( spent loads on decent players ) so it's no small feat for Petersburg reaching the final. The fact the Russian season has only just started might give them a huge advantage to lift the trophy.

 

Looks like ET in the other semi.

Does the away goals rule still count in extra time?

Yes.

[Gary Wolf]

I rate him as the best Russian footballer at the moment. IMO he has the potential to solve our winger problem - can play both right and left, terrific speed, good dribbling.

As to Everton, I can only wonder if they are ready for the biggest signing in their history. Retersburg director said they will let him leave but the price is going to be exorbitant. It can easily be about 20 mil euro or more.
