or dosnt the country protection matter anyway now and we could still get them

[A.B.]

it seems the fashion with tv/media to play down anything we do.Am i right in thinking if man utd go through in second place we could still be drawn against them as we have no country protection.

Yes you're right.

[drummerphil]

what a tie that would be

[tubby]

Whats important now is that the players stay focused and fit and we try to stay injury free. Essien got away yet again with a terrible challange on Hamman which Sissoko and Co took immediete notice of. The other important thing is that whichever new players come in during the window get togrips quick whilst were doing well so that we can maintain and build on the momentum. Im not bothered who we face to be honest. Were reigning champions and we dont fear anyone. If we have to play Barca down the line then so be it. We beat everyone in front of us last year and we can do it again in style. This team is starting to show real signs now improvment and the fact that we won the cup last year in our infancy of the Benitez era leaves me with nothing but the best of luck and pride for Senor Benitez. Keep up the good work lads.

PS I though Sinema played prety well.

We can get any 2nd placed team apart from chelsea, country protection doesnt matter in the knockout stages.

But we cant get Man U........Because they go out tomorrow

THE WEBSITE REPORT

Paddy Boy put a smile on Epsom trainer Jim Boyle's face when taking the opening Daily Mail Conditional Jockeys' Novices' Handicap Hurdle at Folkestone.

The lightly-raced four-year-old appreciated being dropped to a very lowly level and survived some slightly hairy leaps to score at 16-1 under Steven Craine, beating Mistified by three lengths.

"We weren't getting anywhere on the Flat with him so we tried him over hurdles and this was probably his first realistic chance," said Boyle.

He added: "Steven gave him a good ride when he rode him last season and I am pleased to have been able to give him a winner as he is a nice chap and a very capable jockey."

Ben Hitchcott was left with a bloody nose and a dent to his pride after his mount Elfkirk threw victory away at the final fence of the following Daily Mail Mares' Only Beginners' Chase.

The well-fancied 4-1 chance had gradually started to jump left going down the back straight for the final time but Hitchcott's mount was still going well enough in front, clear of her rivals.

But coming to the final fence 12 lengths clear of his nearest pursuer, the Steve Gollings-trained Sunny South East (8-1), Elfkirk ran right down the fence to her left and crashed through the plastic wing, leaving that rival to come home three lengths ahead of Glenogue.

"She had been getting gradually worse but it wasn't that bad until the last," said a rueful Hitchcott.

"She can get away with it over hurdles here because to the left of the flight is the running rail which helps to keep her straight.

"She'll win races going the other way round."
