Europa League 12/13

Hadjuk Split 0-3 Inter

Sneijder, Nagatomo and Coutinho.

That's how you deal with a Europa League qualifying game, Luis Enrique.

Liverpool beat Gomel 1-0 away. Stewart Downing with the goal.

Athletic Bilbao beat Slaven Belupo 3-1. I wonder if they can reach the heights of last season.

Looking forward to the draw next week. Hopefully we will be seeded so we avoid one of the big clubs.

Downing's was a good goal actually.

I forgot Newcastle were in Europe. Will be a good adventure but tough to combine the Thursday/Sunday schedule and do well in all competitions.

Inter and the merda should both qualify, although Inter's result last night was embarrassing.

Inter and Lazio should be able to qualify. We got Atromitos. Should be able to get the Job done but our first leg is played on the 23rd away and 2 days later, we are at Chelsea so I wonder if we will rest a few players for the first leg.

Only 2 days later?? That's insane, yeah you'll have to play some reserve and youth players in the first leg. Is the first leg at home?

First leg away so will probably see players like Shane Ferguson and Haris Vuckic playing. We tried getting the match to be played on the Sunday but ESPN had already decided to broadcast the Chelsea game on the Saturday.

I've not heard of Atromitos. I don't know whether they will be hard for us to get past or not.

I might see about going to an away game or two!

Good results for Napoli and Nazio, not a bad draw for Udinese, poor draw for Inter. At least none of them lost I guess.

Great result for us against Bordeaux!

So far so good for us in Europe.

Inter have been going pretty steady in thE Europa this year! Very suprised that Napoli have been so poor, i know they rest alot of players for the Europa League but should still be good enough to get results!

Hopefully Napoli will beat Dnipro and Stockholm, that'd be enough for them to qualify. But I don't have much faith in them doing that, they're pretty annoying in Europe yeah. Inter will be fine, Lazio should be, doubt Udinese will get through though.

Good wins for Inter, Lazio and Cavani, shame Udinese had to be the let downs.

Trouble which marred the Lazio vs Tottenham resulted in one fan getting this injury

That's shocking. Terrible.

Hey, aldair can we have a warning before you post pics like that! Uck.
