UEFA Cup draw

Rather un-eventful draw but here are the ties involving English clubs: -

Hertha Berlin V Foolham
Malaga V Leeds Utd
Liverpool V Vitesse Arnhem

None of the other ties tickle my fancy really :D

Should let Pool win, for all the British Paras that died trying to liberate it in Sept 1944.

The only thing the Scousers will be liberating in Arnhem will be jewellery and watches from various jewellers in the city:p

Friday is stereotype day!!

I guess theirs a fair chance that all 3 will get through.

Leeds probably have the hardest game, but will win if they play well.

In a purely football sense Celtic V Celta Vigo looks like a good game.

I'd expect Hertha to knock Foolham out.

If we're talking about on the field confrontations, Real Betis v Auxerre looks like a really good tie.

I reckon the English teams could field their "C2" teams for this lot.

Not sure, all 3 have games they can win but it depends how they play I guess.

Fulham, like Leeds, seem to save their best form for Europe.

Liverpool V Auxerre in the next round, away first.
Auxerre caused Arsenal a few problems in the CL, so if Liverpool don't improve before Feb '03 (or whenever Round 4 is played) then they too could be crashing out of Europe early...

Agreed, saw bits of their game yesterday and they weren't very good.
Auxerre look like a decent team but if Liverpool play well they will win, especially over 2 legs.

Fulham's next trip to europe will be a day trip to Calais. I'm just off to Harrods sportswear department to see if they have a Hertha Berlin shirt. :D

Looking at the best of some of the other ties (seeing as there are only the two 'Irish' teams left to talk about, Celtic & Liverpool:eek: :wave: )

Nothing too wet the footballing palate on the pitch, but as far as off the field antics go Wizla Kracow v Lazio should be one for the politically incorrect. Kracow is not a million miles from Auswhitz, the Holy-Grail for Lazio's right-wing support. Wizla like all Polish fans are mad!!

Slavia Prague V Beskitas, always problems when the Turks visit Eastern Europe.


Back to events on the pitch, there's only one Spanish club left (Malaga CF). Is the European 'Reign in Spain' coming to an end?
(Sorry, turning into Jonathan Pearce there ;)

All their decent(?) teams are in the CL, where they have to be to help pay off their huge, increasing debts.

The UEFA Cup isn't what it used to be is it?... :no:

Every Evertonian I've met at England away games has been more 'English' than the red half of Scouseland.

Didn't Celtic and Liverpool have some sort of friendship in the 80's? I remember seeing many a 'half-Celtic, half-Liverpool' ski hat in the mid-80's. I've seen a lot of Ulster flags at Liverpool games on TV and Liverpool did have a fair few fans at EURO 2000 (in Eindhoven anyway), but I have always thought them to be more Irish in terms of their support.

If you know better than I do, then I stand corrected. I was always under the impression from the Evertonians I've met that they were 'true blue' in more ways than one.

Everton used to get a lot of players from the Rep of Ireland, Liverpool from Scotland, hence the support.

I think the Liverpool Celtic thing cropped up once Dalglish turned up, although there is no sectarian split any more - at anfield you will see Liverpool/Rangers colours together and Liverpool/Celtic in equal numbers, but you will not see Everton/Rangers.

I always thought Liverpool = Catholic, Everton = Protestant (to some extent), Everton wear blue too ;)

I stand corrected then fella:)

My impression of Everton was formed by talking to a few of their lads before the England v Yugoslavia game at Wembley in 1989.
They were very pro-Ulster shall we say, one even had a
1690-William of Orange tattoo, this was probably a personal thing?.
