Идти Shaktar!

bump

Morientes 7th all time goalscorer in the Champions League .. 1st hat-trick of the (Champions League) season.

Good comeback in the end from Valencia

i think Valencia will win this group, i wonder if Morientes can show the form he showed for Monaco a few seasons ago.

Honestly, until 65 minutes and 1-0 for Rome, Shaktar was looking better...

Perhaps this group is not that clear as it seems...

Exactly.

Shaktar are a stronger side than some here think. Their problem is that they need an away win somewhere along the line I think, or to remain unbeaten at home.

If they can beat Olympiakos at home, get a draw against the other 2 teams and maybe a win in Olympiakos - or even the Mestalla - then that'll be 9 points. That should be enough.

2 home wins isn't unrealistic though with the side they have.

Jadson should start in place of Duljaj in the home games IMHO. They can't play counter-attack at home.

Legend!!!!!!!

Domestic league

Valencia = 4th
Roma = 2nd
Olympiacos = 1st
Shakhtar = 1st

Valencia won 2-0, both goals scored by Villa, the man is on fire !

Their first goal was really soft. Leonardo made a mistake - he shouldn't even have been playing.

Tymoshchuk's first half performance will alert a few more suitors I imagine. Did the work of 2 men.

Villa injured, could miss the RM match this weekend ... gutted

Shakhtar make their move!

What have you got against Roma?

I just don't like them. I find them sickeningly petulant and arrogant. Like a an Uber-Arsenal.

What have they done to warrant that tag?
I can see the arrogance in Arsenal I wouldn't say we are petulant though.

Montella, Totti, De Rossi, Delvecchio, Cassano etc etc... Totti, De Rossi and Cassano are petulance personified.

"weh weh they've got players marking me tightly weh weh weh".

Just plain don't like them.

So is that Italians in general you don't like. I would think Roma are the least arrogant to be honest

Err no... I like Italian's in general.

A little arrogance can't be to bad though.
Any way we are jus straying off subject you can't deny the fact Roma are a decent side?

I can and I will.
