Pity PSV went.
A lucky draw there & we might have got to the semis. We need a Chelsea style fluke to progress from here.
'Bout time we had the luck other English teams have had over the last few seasons. 'Twill be interesting if the Arse go out tonight whether the ex-pro cognoscenti who steal a living plying shite into our lounges get behind MCFC or criticise every kick, tackle, or throw-in. I fancy it will be markedly different from the usual Rag, CFC, Dipper and Arse sycophancy. I think we would have to win both legs 5-0 to get a begrudging OK from them.
I think that if we are going to progress any further we will need a bit (maybe a lot) of luck & to play more like we did last night with the accent on not letting in any stupid goals.
It would be interesting to see the reaction of these people if we did actually do that & get through to a final. I recon most of the media here would be supporting the other team.
I don't think that's fair. Before the game we were accused of having been naive and gung ho in the c/l. Last night we would have gone out fully expecting Kiev to come out of the blocks looking for an early goal to put us under pressure. We would have been told to keep it tight and try to get them on the break. The fact they played with 2 banks of 4 made it easy for us and why try to bust a gut with the derby coming up. I think we did exactly what they accused us of not doing then got stick for a professional European performance.It's not nice to listen to,especially a rag and a spurs **** slating us,but they did have a point,that game last night was utter dogshit,and it bored the fuck out of me,I know they didn't try to have a go at us,(Kyiv) which meant it easier for us,but it was too lethargic.
I hate Camel Gob,Owen,Ginger twat,Savage and to a lesser degree the God Squad Cockney,but they are paid to talk shite and give their views,and we gave them plenty of reasons to with that performance really

This all day long. Professional job done. Good collective effort and I for one hope the tw@ts in the studio were bored stiff. Need to take 1 game at a time and hopefully have a solid end to a relatively disappointing season, with main players coming back and playing themselves back into firm.I don't think that's fair.

If they had come at us, scored an early goal, do you really think the tie was buried. No chance. We did the correct thing last night, boring I know but job done.I was first of all surprised with the starting line up we had,but as per MP,the usual (play it safe) team was chosen,when deep down we all knew the tie was over,and as you say with the derby in mind it was a big risk,but as they didn't offer nothing against us,I feel as I'm sure many others do,that we could and should have buried them,but we didn't and the game was poor,like I say it's just my opinion
It was poor, I agree but I think we did what they criticised us for not doing before the game and then got criticism for playing like they said we should.I was first of all surprised with the starting line up we had,but as per MP,the usual (play it safe) team was chosen,when deep down we all knew the tie was over,and as you say with the derby in mind it was a big risk,but as they didn't offer nothing against us,I feel as I'm sure many others do,that we could and should have buried them,but we didn't and the game was poor,like I say it's just my opinion
