Hopefully they don't.

Why?

I dislike Great British annd ROI teams beating foreign teams.

I can understand why you wouldn't like English teams, but what is wrong with a small club from ROI?

I just have a vendetta against them. Really hope Partizan beat them.

6-0 for AZ, great performance. And 6-1 for Schalke with 4 goals by Huntelaar

FC Nordsjælland playing against Sporting right now, their best creative players being saved for 2nd half it seems, 60 mins or so of defense then hope to strike in 2nd half it seems.

Fuck off Shamrock Rovers.

Birmingham in the group stages lmao quality game tonight, Nacional played decent football but we destroyed their defence...blatantly going to win the whole competition

That shit needs trolling. Cunts.

Does anyone know whether we will be in the Europa League on Fifa 12? Usually you have to take teams into Europe yourself.

Fuck Fifa, PES has it

I do not think so, I am not 100% sure but usually the first year of manager mode does not have any European football. Just win the Carling Cup again and you will be set.

bcfcben wrote:What pot would we be in if we qualify tonight?

Birmingham City right now is in pot 3

Pot 1 - Tottenham, PSV, Atletico Madrid, Sporting Lisbon, Braga, Schalke, Dynamo Kyiv, PSG, Kobenhavn, AZ Alkmaar, Anderlecht, Twente
Pot 2 - Fulham, Besiktas, H. Tel Aviv, Metalist, Standard, Rubin Kazan, Club Brugge, AEK, Steaua, Udinese, Athletic Bilbao, Lazio
Pot 3 - Salzburg, M. Haifa, Zurich, OB, Lokomotiv Moksva, PAOK, Birmingham, Stoke, Rennes, Austria Wien, Rapid Bucuresti, Hannonver
Pot 4 - Vorskla, Wisla Krakow, Vaslui, Sion, Sturm, M. Tel Aviv, Slovan Bratislava, Legia, Maribor, AEK Larnaca, Malmo, Shamrock Rovers

After playing APOEL in the CL, I am of the opinion that Larnaca beating Rosenborg is far from an upset. Cypriot football has really improved massively in the past three-four years. APOEL would have no problem playing Zenit or Everton or someone in my opinion, and they did have a brilliant run in the CL recently.

Larnaca and other Cypriot teams are probably at a similar level.

Plus Norwegian football has completely collapsed recently.

Already booked my flights and hotel for the Bruges game, Birmingham City Europa tour has begun

I got a hypothetical question for Ben. What would be your feelings if somehow Birmingham City won the Europa League but somehow were relegated to League One?? Probably seems impossible you never know what will happen in European football.

I feel that right now would be a good time to bump this thread for tomorrow.

In the last 10 years i've seen us do things i never expected to happen, ever. We got promoted to the Prem, we won the Carling Cup and we are now in Europe. Relegation sucks (ive had it 3 times) and can happen to almost every club however winning things like the Carling etc is rare for a team like us so we make the most of it. Relegation to League 1 would be awful but saying my team has won the Europa is something most fans can't say.

6pm kick-off for us tonight in Greece and it's on ESPN, but I don't have that so I have to stream.

I might watch Shamcock Rovers get (hopefully) demolished by Rubin Kazan.

Our team for tonight:

Starting XI - Cudicini; Walker, Bassong, Corluka, Townsend; Falque, Carroll, Livermore, Giovani; Kane, Pavlyuchenko



Very youthful bench - Gomes, Jake Nicholson, Dean Parrett, Jack Barthram, Alex Pritchard, Ryan Fredericks, Kevin Stewart

Gonna watch Besiktas rip shit up.

Stoke's lineup average height is 6ft 2.

1-0 Besiktas, didn't take long.

Alemdia scores a great goal after a nice pass from Quaresma, I think it was.
