The main draw is today I hope Celtic get a good group.

[minionofmidas]

Damn, Dinamo Zagreb are out.

Is the UEFA Cup draw today as well?

[MHS2002]

Go Arsenal!

[kashifsakhan]

My boys Man united got a good group. Celtic, Benefica, and FC Copenhagen.

Cant wait to see Barcelona beat Chelsea again.

Bröndby here we come!

[Tender Branson]

Our Bulls will face the Blackburn Rovers Should be interesting ...because they were 6th in the English Premiere League last season and Salzburg is currently the leader in Austria this season. Against Valencia Salzburg really had no chance. The Mestalla Stadium was frightening ! I hope we do better against the Rovers

No, we'll take revenge for 92 (I hope I got the year right...). 0-5...

It was 1991 No good wining the second game 4-1 when you lost the first 5-0 1992 was when we beat Germany 2-0 and became European Champions.

I never minded that latter event.

Not an easy game two man down. Btw FCK is my team (I live next door to their stadion). Not BIF, a suburb club.
On the other hand - last time 1-4, 5-0 - it ain't over yet

[Jens]

And I completely forgot: Hertha Berlin - OB 2-2. Fenerbache - Randers FC 2-1

Besides Brøndby, very impressive results

Good for you.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

It was 5-0, 1-4 actually... we tried to overturn it but failed. (And we were both wrong on the year. It was 1990.)

Of course we wouldn't have won 4-0 without those two red cards, that's obvious. Although we were the stronger side even before.
We were chanting something about "only one more to go" towards the very end of the game...


Congrats to Odense, good result there.

Derry City held Paris St Germain last night 0-0. If they can somehow get past PSG in the return leg at the Parc des Princes they'll be the first Irish side to reach the group stage of a European competition. (Though judging by the game last night it's quite unlikely.)

[minionofmidas]

Ouch. That's a pretty tough group we got there.
Palermo, Celta Vigo, Newcastle United, and Fenerbahce. :/ (Home games against Palermo and Newkie).

Hey Al, you have an additional reason to support Eintracht now!

Yeah; I love nothing more than to see Palermo lose

Seriously though; hope thee beats Newcastle

Love that thread title.  I'll assume that's a Football reference.

Being a yank, I think of snuff when I see the word Copenhagen, abrasive cleanser when I see the word Ajax, and a brown ovoid leather projectile with white stripes when I think of football.   At a stretch I can also conjure up the capital of Denmark and a greek hero king when I hear the words Copenhagen and Ajax, respectively.  But mostly they're tobacco and toilet cleaner.

I can't say I care enough to click on the link to find out what copenhagen and ajax really mean, but the weird juxtaposition of images brought to mind by the title certainly merits comment.

Stuff exists here as well.

When I was a kid I actually thought that they had called themselves after the cleaner.
