Tough group for the boro,
AZ Alkamaar frightens me the most they are a very good side on the up and going places.
Grasshopper could be a toughy but to be honest we should get through them.
Dnipro could be a tad tricky after their 5-1 demolishment of Hibs.
Litex should be disposed of however.

A very tough group for Bolton,
Besiktas are a very very tough team and if its an away tie i cant see Bolton fairing to well out there
Sevilla fantastic side and home or away cannot see Bolton beating them
St Petersburg can't comment on them should be disposed off
Vitoria Again should be disposed off

Yes, very tough draw for Bolton.

I wouldnt underestimate Grasshoppers Senior, they have a good setup there, have produced some good players.

If Hibs beat Dnipro we would have been in your teams group $enior!

Yes, $enior, AZ is a very good side, they have played well so far this season and have carried on from the success they tasted last season. I think it will be a cracker when these 2 sides meet. I can't wait to watch the games......

hei,

guys, why are you underestimating, vitoria de guimaraes?

in the first round guimaraes played with wisla krakow, 3 consecutive times champion of poland and have defeated 3-1 panathinaikos in the 3 round to Champions League.

wisla suporters said that it's going to be a piece og cake, and we will have no chances!!!


at the final,vitoria 4-0 wisla (agg)!!

we have scored one of the best goals of uefa this season, in the game vitoria 3-0 wisla, third goal of benachour! only 2 m after the second!!

don't be so sure!!!

You will have to take that up with $enior, he said they should be disposed of (I don't think any harm meant).....It's hard to voice an opinion on them when I don't know anything about them, which I don't. But what I do know that these are big games for the lesser known teams and big paydays could lie ahead depending on how far they advance, and it's a chance for players to be discovered and possibly move on to bigger teams and bigger contracts. This could be the chance of there lifes for a lot of these players. I have learned along time ago not to discount anyone during tournaments, vitoria de guimaraes included.....You have my interest now, and I'll be keeping an eye on them........ or at least one eye.....

*edited for spelling correction/O

It all depends on which Boro team turns up to the games tho, they have been so Jekyll and Hyde so far this season.

Sorry if i caused offence there Rui obviously none meant - but yes mabye i was being a little hasty.

Besiktas and Sevilla are the bigger teams so i've obviously heard and know a little about them, Vitoria and petersburg are the only ones i do not know alot about.

However when i said dispose off i meant on paper Bolton should beat Vitoria but after Rui explaining how they've reached this far i'll look forward to see how the trotters get on!! there is no easy games in the UEFA Cup especially the away ties to one of these "lesser" teams anything can happen!!

Jamie - thats what my first reaction was - Hibs n Boro - if only you'd lot beat them!!!

now we are out of competition, but we have been very unlucky!

we ahve been robbed in russia, anyone can see that, one clear goal anuled, two penaltys that was not signed!!

against Bolton, i just can tell that we were the unluckiest team in the world, we really deaserv the victory!

in sevilla with more than 2500 suporters, our players jus don't play [beep!]!

we are going to win against besiktas i hope!

greetings for all!

Thats a shame for you guys Rui.

I hope you are going to stick around and give us yor views on all things football.

Please introduce yourself in the newcomers section and you will find we are a very hospitable bunch.
