Difficult to look past Milan. Sorry goats

Think Valencia, Sevilla & Udinese could do well too.

There's almost always a surprise team or two though

Dont get me wrong mate i think we can do well buti know we dont have much of a chance of winning it unless we sign some seriously good players.

Udinese have a good team but need to keep their best players and even still it will be hard for them to juggle thier domestic and european fixtures as it will be for most teams.

Milan will go far but i can see them maybe doing a Bayern. Sevilla will be strong, as will Samp and the teams who get KO the Champs league, teams like Celtic and Rangers, Olympiacos, Werder Bremen, Porto, Atletico, Bordeaux, PSV etc IF they get KO out obviously.

Wolfburg could be a massve surprise, they are spending money and building a good team.

I can't see any of the Italian teams taking it seriously bar Doria.

mmmm maybe its always hard to say. I think Milan might in a bid to get some pride back, if they win it, it would help keep the fans happy...ish.

Probably Milan, Villa or one of the other European superpowers.

not sure yet...probably not the intertoto ones, and I've got to wait and see if we get through them - some of us don't get given byes into the tournament

Certainly wouldn't mind a little jaunt to city/country I've never been to, but it all depends on timing, money and all them horrible real-world things

Of course I will cheer you.

How could I have forgotten? So many sweet memories about your team and my country. Deyna played for you back in the late seventies. He was an awesome player for the national squad. For you he was mainly a benchwarmer but then he was past his best years. If communists had let him played abroad earlier, he'd have undoubtedly made a huge career.

Then goes Groclin and Mila's goal from the freekick. You were so generous towards us

Italial teams should probably just f@ck off and open up more places for other teams then

Yeah Mila's free kick was great, he looked a good player. How are Groclin doing now ? when we played them they were being talked about as the Chelsea of Poland, spening lots of money and brining in some decent players. Did they move grounds and continue to spend ?

Groclin were no Chelsea. They were a parochial club but had an efficient owner and manger. Now they've moved from small town of Grodzisk to Wroclaw and even changed the name. All I know that they won't play in Uefa Cup. I don't follow Polish league because of corruption, match fixing and simply lack of quality. All I know that they will not play in Uefa Cup this year.

Mila may have had some talent but his career went to the dogs. After the match he said he wanted to play for AC Milan In fact he didn't even make the first squad in Austria Vienna, then went to Valerenga. He was also a disaster in the national team. The freekick ( a fluke in fact) is the only thing he'll be remembered for.

The YOUTH

Roma took the Uefa Cup seriously a couple of years ago, we beat your arses didn't we? Totti-less too.
