Schalke did not have the fans on there back when we beat them fair and square last year, as the season has gone they have fair enough.
We are not afraid of you lot, we have 2 of your best players and one will not even be playing.
Hamburg you are going out boys!
It may turn out to be a wastefull journey coming over here for the 2nd leg, and if it is please pass on your City end tickets to Blues on here that are without! ;-) cheers HSV
Martin Jol = Your having a laugh! ;-)
We're not afraid of you lot either mate ;-). We've won every single away game so far in the UEFA Cup this season. I would point and laugh at the pitful way you surrendered your 2-0 first leg lead against friggin Aalborg...but then they did do over Deportivo and even gave the rags a tough time at the rubbish tip too. But still.... ;-)
Two of our best players... One of whom was injured for 90% of the time that he was here and when he did play, he was largely ineffective - even being sent home this time last season, or thereabouts, because he. I've mentioned several times how whilst de Jong was a good player for us, his departure hasn't been missed that much, mainly due to other players slotting in and doing well.
Oh and btw, Kevin Keegan was a legend for us and always will be. European Footballer of the Year TWICE in our colours. For you, he was just another name in and out the revolving managerial door ;-)
Banters great. As long as there's no personal insults thrown about :-) In all honesty, whilst I am mainly undecided on how the two games will pan out and who will progress...ya still gotta stick up for your club when there's banter around ;-)
There is one thing going for ya though mate...and that's your name, haha.
You are one point off the top of the German league so I expect a very good team. I still feel we wil go through over the 2 legs; afterall, we all know the premiership is hyped but the quality of football is far superior to Germany. That is a fact.
