awesome line up, i don`t think that a german team is good enough to win it, some should make the quarter, with a bit of luck the semi final


the teams in pot 1 will have the 2nd game at home

This competition could become very interesting from the last 16 stage, if the teams took it seriously.... there are a few CL level teams in this one.

i think the german teams in pot 2 have no teams to fear, only chelsea and lyon

while hannover in pot 1 has a higher chance to get a huge calibre


i think most clubs will take it seriously, KO stage is KO stage, full arenas, great atmosphere, well at least thats how german clubs and fans treat this competition, i have no problems when some countrys behave that arrogant and field some b-players, thats not our problem, england and italy will learn there lesson when the german league will be out of there reach

We ve been taking it seriously. we are UNBEATEN in Europe, and had we not had 3 incorrectly disallowed goals against Lazio over two legs, would be in pot Eins.

Ze Germans better vatch out, Die Juden are in town, und we slay Teutons just for ze fun (ask Werder Bremen and Bayer Leverkusen )

Pot Eins is slightly weaker though imo. You should lough at Lazio.

I agree that no german team will probably win this cup, but I hope for a semi final. Moenchengladbach with the team of last year would have had good chances of making the final but they lost their key players. Hannover is just solid. Never was a fan of this Leverkusen or Stuttgart side.


Should be an exciting competition and I hope no CL drop out wins it.

3 times

Our overall record against Bundesliga clubs

Played 13
Won 7
Drawn 2
Lost 4

http://www.eurocupshistory.com/match/history_land/280-GER/tottenham_hotspur_against_german_clubs

still confident about tottenham NOAH? lyon was one team i wanted to avoid for the german teams

decent draws for germany, all 4 can make it, and all 4 could fail as well (well stuttgart will make it) gladbachs great organisation could upset lazio, while hannovers fast paced football could make eto some problems, i am confindent about all 4 clubs

leverkusen played good stuff in die Bundesliga and EL, and benfica failed against celtic, will be interesting, they still the leader in there league

leverkusen - benfica
stuttgart - genk
hannover - anzhhi
gladbach- - lazio

at least save points and save team in the next round, IF they would play each other

Possibility of Inter vs Spurs, part 2... where is disco?

Metalist Kharkiv, they'll probably beat us, whoever they are.

That's assuming we get past Lyon!

Jesus titty fucking Christ, that couldn't have been a harder draw for us.

Lyon walk the street corners of Europe like a worn out, bow-legged middle aged Hooker. They've seen more action than we've had hot dinners.

Inter is still another bridge away. Let's hope if we do reach that far, the Ultras of Milan are a little more warm hearted and welcoming that their Rome counterparts

Viel Feind, viel Ehr

Spurs and Chelsea to go through - Liverpool and Newcastle to go out.

Haven't seen that much of Metalist but just from the roundups last season their counter attacks look unbelievably fast - usually have 3 argies and 3 brazilians in starting XI.

+ Newcastle have an absolute twunt for a manager.

Suarez v Danny

This is almost impossible to call, could go either way, specially since some may not take it as seriously as others:

Napoli/Plzen VS BATE/Fenerbahce
Leverkusen/Benfica VS Dynamo Kiev/Bordeaux
Anzhi/Hannover VS Newcastle/Metalist
Stuttgart/Genk VS Monchengladbach/Lazio
Tottenham/Lyon VS Inter/Cluj
Levante/Olympiakos VS Atletico Madrid/Rubin
Basel/Dnipro VS Zenit/Liverpool
Ajax/Steaua VS Sparta Prague/Chelsea

Re the choice of Inter, I think it will be Lyon, but I have to say Inter.... we believe!

bluenine wrote:Possibility of Inter vs Spurs, part 2... where is disco?

How things change in a couple of months... Inter are looking like a Serie B team these days, while Spurs are starting to look good. I hope you guys lose to Lyon, coz Bale, Dembele & co will tear us a new one.

Metalist drew 1-1 with Whitley Bay today. We'll destroy them.

Are many of the frenchies cup tied Pot ?

serious could be a horrible first week for the german clubs

stuttgart, schalke and hannover are in complete decline


at least the other 4 clubs in great shape

COTR wrote:Are many of the frenchies cup tied Pot ?

Gouffran and Debuchy are out, we had to choose between Debuchy and Mbiwa, can't remember why.

So Mbiwa, Haidara and Sissoko are eligible.

Can't wait for our boring 0-0 or 1-0 loss on Thursday where a number of our players will face racist abuse.

1:1 anzhi - hannover

all the money Zenit spend on players/wages and they don't hire a groundsman
