    Would’ve loved sporting in the next round, if we had got there. Supporting sporting now for the test of the tournament.

    What a brilliant draw! Not only do Sporting get Viktoria Plzen (with all due respect, not taking them lightly, but better to get them than Atletico Madrid, etc.), but Arsenal draws Milan, perfect.

    Lazio - Dinamo Kiev
    Leipzig – Zenit
    At. Madrid – Lokomotiv Moskva
    CSKA Moscovo – Lyon
    Marseille - Athletic Bilbao
    SPORTING - Viktoria Plzen
    Borussia Dortmund – Salzburg
    Milan - Arsenal

    Leipzig would have ripped us a new hole. Interesting tie that.

    If Sporting gets knocked out (no need to mention my terrible dissapointment over Celtic yesterday), I agree with you on Dortmund and Bilbao. Especially Bilbao, I have an appreciation for their fanbase.

    Here's a cool video after a Sporting-Bilbao Europa League semi-final game in Lisbon, several years ago, of Sporting supporters giving the Athletic Bilbao supporters a banner honoring their fan, Inigo, who was killed by a rubber bullet in some troubles after a Bilbao-Schalke game. The Bilbao fans applauded us, started chanting "Inigo" and then "Sporting" and welcomed us very warmly in Bilbao for the second leg. Sporting and Bilbao fans have had a good relationship since that game.



    Because, sometimes you just don't see enough nice, heart-warming things in this world.....

    Leipzig have put together quite the team, I never really took them seriously (purely out of pure ignorance regarding them) until this year, but they're a very good team.

    Pacey and exciting to watch. I'm hoping for a Sporting vs Bilbao final however..

    Agreed on Leipzg, they're super dangerous. A Sporting-Bilbao final would be fantastic.

    1-0 Arsenal

    Milan the cause of it. They have been so sloppy on the ball. All over the place defensively.

    Calabria looks out of his depth.

    Milan look painfully slow.
