lol typical ARSE/Man YOO reactions to Liverpool not getting out of the group stages. I think we will, just need to win all games at home and do well away.

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

Villa did it in 81 (I think - definitely early 80s), and Forest in the late 70s.

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

i think Spurs won the UEFA of fairs cup in 61 and were the first English cide to lift a European trophy

The other sides to get to finals are

Celtic
Rangers
Aberdeen ( with Fergie )
Newcastle
Chelsea
Aston Villa ( strangely they won the European Cup)
Forest
Ipswich

got these ones from the UEFA web site
Leeds
Dundee United
Wolves
Birmingham

can't find stats for the cup winners cup but ithink Hearts got to the final as well

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

Errrrrr, why is that strange?

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

right found the stats for the cup winners cup

they are Everton
West Ham
Man City

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

they just not the sort of team I would image winning the best club competition in Europe.. they not really a footballing super power

Rooney Demands Transfer

:erm:

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

But nor are Forest, Ipswich or (arguably) Newcastle. At that point, Villa were one of the best teams in Europe, let alone England.

Don't forget, in either the first or second season of The Premiership (can't remember which one), Villa were runners up in the league, and it took Man U 25 years to win the league (for that matter, Arsenal haven't managed back-to-back Championships for about 30 years).

We will get first team football at newcastle, he wont and united. Nistory and smith are better than rooney so he will be a back up

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

Damien, please translate for me :confused:

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

Rooney will get first team football at newcastle, he will not at united because they have enough good strikers.

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

Thanks chuck, it was the first bit that confused me ;)

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

yeah, i type 5 secounds slower than my brain

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

We'll let you off :D :D :D

Seems Rooney has said that he wants to join a club that is consistently in Europe so any number of clubs could be suitable, biased here though so hope he's coming over to OT

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

Other than the kudos that they'd get for signing him, I don't know why Newcastle are trying to get Rooney - the strikers they already have are good enough (it'sd always been the defence that's caused them problems), but you'd think that they would replace Woodgate first.
