Yep, 5th round, and a Carling Cup final the following weekend maybe?
Re: Re: Europa League draw
Barca in the FA Cup and Madrid in the league cup.

Sorry to be intruding here, but I've followed the forums for a while and since the Europa League draw placed my team against one of the other teams I sympathize with, I thought I'd give my opinion here.
Porto were almost unbeatable last year, would probably beat City on both legs, but this year is a lot different. We don't have a true striker, so our shitty coach puts Hulk playing in the middle like a true number 9, which he isn't, and we lose a brilliant winger (Hulk). The coach makes shitty decisions, never gets the same 11 on the pitch from the start, makes horrible substitutions, etc.
Our team morale just isn't the same, we're first on the championship but that's because our rivals are even worse than us, we aren't playing a good football and that's it. I'm 90% sure City will go through.
Anyway, enjoy the beautiful city, the amazing beer (Super Bock is awesome), the amazing food and the beautiful Douro (where Vinho do Porto - delicious - comes from), if you can take a trip river side. Hope you catch good weather (as good as it can get at least for this time of year).

Really fancy Porto. Not many cheap flights to be had so hopefully Spike will come up trumps.
