Tough group for us, the one team i didn't want is Roma. Ronaldo and Nani going back to thier old club as well.

Why do Arsenal always get the easiest bloody group :rolleyes:

Good luck Rangers lol

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

I think they will end up:

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

dont know bout the group for Arsenal. Bucharest and Slavia are quite strong Sevilla or AEK are not easy either. but then saying that ManUre has got a lovely group and yes Chelsea and Liverpool are quite interesting as well.

really dont fancy putting bets on group A tho... besiktas (nasty crowd) Marseille (can be really good and dangerous) Porto (ouch again hard team to beat)

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

We don't. This year is the first for a while where we've not got at least one tough team. 03/04 was as hard as nails. 01/02 was pretty straightforward.

98/99 - Dynamo Kyiv, Lens, Panthinaikos
99/00 - Barcelona, Fiorentina, AIK
00/01 - Sparta Prague, Shakhtar Donetsk, Lazio then Spartak Moscow, Bayern Munich, Lyon
01/02 - Real Mallorca, Schalke, Panathinaikos then Deportivo, Juventus, Bayer Leverkusen
02/03 - Borussia Dortmund, PSV, Auxerre then Roma, Ajax, Valencia
03/04 - Inter Milan, Lokomotiv Moscow, Dynamo Kyiv
04/05 - Panathinaikos, PSV, Rosenborg
05/06 - Ajax, Thun, Sparta Prague
06/07 - Hamburg, Porto, CSKA Moscow
07/08 - Slavia Prague, Sevilla/AEK, Steaua Bucharest

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

I'm sorry but all of those are much easier than the group United have this year. It's probably more of a case of Arsenal making it hard for themselves rather than the group actually being difficult. ;)

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Boro won 2 - 0. Wheather and Downing scored. :D

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Well, the first half at OT was a good as the quality of the picture on Sultana.:rolleyes: :td:

Jim.

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Good reception for Keano's return to Old Trafford, however the game is a bit of a dud so far.

Tevez and Anderson look out of their depth. Nani, not too bad.

Only plus signs at half time is Scholes and Evra.

How we need Ronaldo and Rooney back, or even for Saha to appear in the second half would do.

Overall :( 2/10 for the first half

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Saha was definately what we needed, did very well for his first appearance in a long time :tu:

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Let's hope he lasts a bit longer this time and makes it to the end of the season.

Also, nice to see United catching up with the early leaders after a shaky start to the season.

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

We may have gotten the 3 points, but the shaky start isn't over yet.

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

I think you might be right there.
