Personally i was really disappointed with last nights result and performance. If that team couldn't break down an Average Greek Side with 10 men at home then that side will never break anyone down. I think i was more gutted to the fact that our 2nd string side are so poor. Anyway, onto the positives of this competition. How can we get through? If we smash Shamrock say 4-0 which is very possible and PAOK beat Rubin by a small scoreline then can we go through? I'm really not to clued up about the goal difference scenario in Europe and if it's any different to the prem. I'm talking about if we were to be level on GD with Rubin then how does it work out from there? COYS!!!

RRP, You see my point at Half time about Kane and Livermore though mate? I think they completely proved my point even more with that dire 2nd half performance. I'm sorry mate but i know they are young but they have had quiet a few games now in Europe and so far has failed to even look like decent footballers. I thought Kane was absoloute atrocious last night and some people might think i'm being harsh but that's the truth i'm afraid.

Don - Sorry went for lunch
Kane has been a big let down hasn't he, was really hoping he would grab his chance but he looks so off the pace, reminds me a bit of Pav with running into dead-ends
Corluka was shocking, and some people 'd me for saying he wasn't good enough a few days ago

At least it gives us a bit of perspective and should stop people getting carried away with our present prem form.
Now posters might stop the hype that we have such a fantastic squad. We have a great starting X1 and possible a good couple of subs but thats about it I am afraid.
RRP I have been saying Corluka is not good enough for 2 years and I stick by it. Gallas the same, well past his sell by date and I am still trying to work out just why we signed Pienaar

Grand - I was getting pelters for questioning Corluka a few days ago
Pienaar...strangest signing EVER
Everyone was expecting a striker to come in...and then we bring in ANOTHER midfielder

Because Levy doesn't want your mind rotting watching UK daytime TV.

RRP dont worry about getting pelters on here just enjoy it when the rose tinted glasses brigade look total planks when your opinions are vindicated

To be fair though, Chelsea, Arsenal, Man United as well as Spurs have all lost at home with their supposedly weaker teams this week. So we are not alone in perhaps thinking our squads are better than they are.
