Uefa Cup Last 16, 1st Leg (featuring City v Aalborg)

Xavi6

With that Mickey Mouse competition out of the way the real action starts on Thursday.

Round of 16 First leg
CSKA Moskva Shakhtar 12 Mar 18:00
Hamburg Galatasaray 12 Mar 18:00
Dynamo Kyiv Metalist 12 Mar 18:00
PSG Braga 12 Mar 20:15
Bremen Saint-Etienne 12 Mar 20:30
Man. City AaB 12 Mar 20:45
Udinese Zenit 12 Mar 20:45
Marseille Ajax 12 Mar 20:45

Massive, massive game. Quite possibly our biggest in 20 odd years. Really wish we were away first.

De Jong is unavailable, Bellamy is out, and Kompany is a serious doubt. However Robinho is back 100% and training well apparently.

The optimist says a 2-0 win, the pessimist fears 2-2.

Can't wait for it!

thats still a strong side, has to be a win, the players know how good they can play at home 3-0 for me (crossed fingers). robby with an overdue hatrick

Hamburg vs Galatasaray live on Setanta Ireland now...

Given the huge Turkish population in Germany, this has a great atmosphere and should have a bit of needle to it...

City to win 2-0 here

Lose 1-0 in Denmark

Is the Man City game on the tv?

Xavi6

It's 4.30am here and I haven't slept I'm so nervous.

Any betting men out there should stick a fiver on their lad Caca to score. The press will have a field day with that one.

Dont have that

It's annoying how bbc show it previous rounds and then just dump it, are the rights on a match/round by match/round basis?

will watch it on tvu anyways, cheers!

Xavi6

GET IN!!!!!!!!!

Big Phil you little daisy!!!

if anyone's interested in the man city game.

good start by city. dominant enough early on, and a nice goal. something very smooth about their play so far.

edit: the stream has gotten very laggy, might improve though.

SlickRic

pick that out.

Xavi6

Lol what a feckin goal that is!

it just wouldn't be the same if it wasn't

Xavi6

Stone wall peno denied

cruiserweight

Should have been a penalty there.

Ireland is having a great game. City creating a lot of chances with little effort it seems

SlickRic

aalborg not up to much, but city have been very impressive.

robinho is a class above along with ireland.

caicedo has no idea how good he could be. fu**** beast.

stonewall penalty plus a couple of misses.

if city don't get 3 or 4 I'd be shocked. this tie should be over before they set foot on the plane to schmeicheland.

bigstar

should be more than 2. the three boys are running the show. robby needs a goal, its been a while

Dr Bolouswki

insane that the penalty wasnt given - the commentator didnt make much out of it really?

Stephen Ireland - the white Pelé!

redout

This chap on Itv looks like a blonde Jamie Redknapp !

Dr Bolouswki

I hate to be negative - but Elano sure is a pussy!

Xavi6

Pleased with the win, disappointed with the margin.

bigstar

good win should have had more. cant see us getting beat over there.

redout

Good result for City and should see them through.

Finally a little bit of good news for serie A, Udinese beat Zenith 2-0, Quagliarella and Di Natale got the goals. I didn't watch it, but apparently there was 7 minutes stoppage time and 9 players were booked, so it must have been a fairly incident-packed game.
