Celtic is unlikely because if UEFA do the seedings the simplist way; that is the top twelve rated teams (by coefficient) are top seeds, next twelve second seeds and so on then we'll be in the same group as Celtic (2nd seeded) . The four groups would be made up like this... Top seeds.. Werder Bremen Villarreal AS Roma PSV Eindhoven Shakhtar Donetsk Sporting CP Lisbon Hamburger SV Benfica Valencia Panathinaikos Ajax Steaua Bucuresti Second seeds.. Fenerbahçe FC Basel Lille OSC Celtic Everton Club Brugge Heerenveen Galatasaray Anderlecht Austria Wien FC København Lazio Roma *4 Third seeds.. Hertha Sparta Praha Dinamo Bucuresti AEK Athens Slavia Praha Levski Sofia Athletic Bilbao Partizan Belgrade Hapoel Tel-Aviv FC Twente Enschede Dinamo Zagreb Fulham FC Fourth seeds.. CSKA Sofia Toulouse CFR Cluj Genoa Rapid Wien FC Timisoara BATE Borisov Nacional Funchal FC Salzburg Sturm Graz FK Ventspils Sheriff Tiraspol

Terrible shame....maybe O'Neill should have rested some players for the week-end (stifles smirk).

From the beeb watching Villa/Vienna....

Travelodges are cheap if you book in advance (http://www.travelodge.co.uk/). http://www.premierinn.com/pti/home.do?CMP=KNC-Google_brand are also good but normally a little more expensive. Campanile I've stayed in a few times....good location http://www.campanile.com/hotel/en/hotel-013248.htm

This is the most relaxing 45 minutes I've watched for many a game. 1-1....meh.

Love watching games with my wife. Detailed analysis of the first half... "That Tim Howard's a good looking lad."

Game over! 1-0

Current Player of the Year standings.... Rodwell 28 Saha 26 Pienaar 20 Hibbert 8 Fellaini 8 Neville 2 Baines 1 Osman 1 MOTM winners.... Burnley...(A)...Tony Hibbert Sigma Olomouc (H)...Jack Rodwell Arsenal (H)...Steven Pienaar

Not seen it but even Wenger said... "He went down, for what reason I do not know. Having seen it again on television, it doesn't look a penalty." So pretty much tied on I'd have thought.

That's amazing. Has Majedski run out of money ?

It was Sunderland Jamie . Not neccessarily the end of his Everton career....Ossie was still going out on loan at 22/23 (cue "he should have stayed at Carlisle/Derby" posts ).

That's not frittering nobby that's time well spent! Hello.

Thanks Iggy. So "Evertonians" deliberately sabotaging themselves then . Strange.

Never been a regular match-goer so I can't comment in terms of suffering week-in week-out but one that sticks out in my memory is Neil Robinson, purely on the performance he gave in the second League Cup Final replay against Villa in '77. It was physically painful to me .

Why is this in "Rumourama," is it because someone heard a rumour that J-Low was a money grabbing twat....or is he on the move again ?

Hah! I neglected the fact that the game is on Five....the self same channel that carries the everyday goings on of those merry folk of Orstralialand! Ramsay Street has been temporarily relocated to 4.25 BST .

Seems ridiculous to shut it down.....why could they not just ban those responsible ?

Respect to Laws...not many managers would do that.

Good to have you back!

He was switching sides for SA in the Confed Cup in the summer I think I'm right in saying and was one of the players of the tournament.

Nothing personal (quite a few do it), but there's really no need to say, "discuss." It's a forum.....that's what it's for. Discussion . Apart from that you may well have a point. We'll see because It's probable that whoever we buy (assuming we do) won't go straight into the team. Baines didn't....DM will want to work with them first (although that's if Billy goes straight in for Ossie).

You're sure it was someone from Everton? If it was I've no idea who he was looking at....others might. What sort of player is Schöne?

Gonna be strange to sit down to a game at that time. Any volunteers to tell my wife she can't watch Neighbours ?
