Fu*king shocking A.B, hes done 3 of them this season and done one at the weekend, it was the most obvious straight red you will ever see, simple as that.

Lille,Rangers,Werder Bremen/Udinese,PSV would be nice.

Red card offence, no doubt about it. His stud marks were visible on tv for ages after treatment. Were lucky Didis leg isnt broken. Even with all their money they always have o resort to dirty tricks to survive. Last time with Gallas's hand ball and now this from Essien. I hope they get a real tough match next.

Bloody awful..Essien was lucky that he didnt break Didi's leg......warranted a red card

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

Im pretty sure country protection still applies,just not for us or any English team that faces us.Arsenal cant face Manure or Chelsea in the next round for example.

I'm glad that Didi's okay and that Alonso was rested. Last year it was Lampard that was breaking limbs now its Essien.

i was pretty certain too it still applied.

I think if we had finished second then we lost the country protection. But we retain it in 1st place.

Everyones saying they wouldnt mind a draw against Real Madrid (me included), but they have got alot of stars (i was going to say Team, but the havent got a team they got Stars), and if they get a decent manager could change there fortunes by the time we play them. They might not be as easy as everyone is thinking.

IMO I think one our day we can have anyone Barca included. But we have to just hope we dont get warn down and lose are consistanacy when we go away to Japan.

I'd love Rafa to keep the Clean Sheets going for atleast another 5 Prem games and throwout the Trip to Japan.

No we cant draw Chelsea in the next round, but we have no country protection, so possibly draw the mancs IF they get through.
Id like to draw Ajax, Rangers or Real Madrid next.

Arsenal are suddenly and finally looking very good in the competition too,if we dont retain the trophy this year i would like to see Arsenal win...........Chelsea would love that.....

[A.B.]

Arsenal looking good? What are you on about Phil, they have the easiest group in the entire fecking competion, for the second season in the row.

FC Thun, Moscow,Ajax[all young and unexperienced players], hardly a difficult group. We'll see how they do in the knock out stages.

Im confused now.Any uefa officials on here that can give us a definitive answer
