Thursday's Uefa Cup action

European Football
by Paul Fletcher (U1816326) 18 September 2008
comment on the article

I am absolutely full of a cold, below the weather, runny of nose - and all manner of other related ailments that have so far drawn absolutely no sympathy from my wife.

What could possibly cheer me up? Uefa Cup football, that's what. Hours and hours of it.

Some say the Uefa Cup is very much the second tier of European competition these days but it has not really been a classic week of Champions League football and I'm hoping for some seriously entertaining action today.

Villa at Litex Lovech, Motherwell visting Nancy, cash rich Man City at Omonia Nicosia, Portsmouth entertaining Guimaraes, Everton hosting Standard Liege (remember them Liverpool?) and, finally, Tottenham at Wisla Krakow.

What more could you want?

true , i suppose villa did beat us for 60 mins before parking the bus? given respect to wigan this season they have started well this season unlike us for sure but cant see us throwing away more points to a lower team i.e. villa

Zakr and Heskey are going to tear poor poor tottenham in half. Not to mention Palacio.
-------------------------------------
Spurs will win 1-0 or 2-1 if Modric doesnt play. If he does 5-0 to Spurs. You heard it hear first

I've been on my predicting game of late. Predicted the Chelsea game, the england game, the untd and liverpool game. Pure fire. I did mess up on the Villa game, said 3-1 instead of 2-1. I think that Harewood miss at the end was the 3rd. But look for Modric to hit the ground running in his next game out

so we are judging teams who have made a bad start to the season, if were talking like that then are we saying man utd are a low team? yes villa have made a good start but i can only see finishing around 8th and hoping to qualify to uefa through cup competition. suffer an injury to young and its a slippery slope from there
