Glasgow tomorrow, noon.

Sides in draw, with their capacity:

Benfica 65.5k
PSG 46.5k
Sevilla 45.5k
AZ 17k
Espanyol 56k
Leverkusen 22k
Osasuna 19.8k
Bremen 43k

Want somewhere with a big stadium and poor attendance...:D

Poor attendance?
AZ......... 17k?
I dunno. They looked OK (and better than that!) against Newcastle. Watching them tonight, I don't fancy meeting them in the quarters.

Mate, that's how much their ground holds.

Under UEFA rules all we'd be entitled to would be 5%...850 tickets...:eek:

They had 16400 at tonight's game.

I think the team list in the opening post is wrong ... No PSG into the next round

The teams into the next round are;

1. Seville, Spain
2. AZ Alkmaar, Holland
3. Espanyol, Spain
4. Benfica, Portugal
5. Bayen Leverkussen, Germany
6. Osasuna, Spain
7. Werder Bremen, Germany

Knew it, knew it, knew it, knew it, knew it. Toughest draw possible and we get it. They scrope through last night. Anyway, f#@k it! Let's do what were getting good at and go out and battle hard. Away leg first. We do seem to play better against tougher teams. Would I be right in saying that Fredddie Kanoute plays for Sevilla?

Sorry, my mistake.

Copied from a post I made on another forum when the Benfica-PSG game was still all square.

Sevilla probably the toughest side left, if we can do them we've got to be seen as favourites. Bremen are another good side though, thankfully we'd avoid them until the final.

i dont care who we play. we have to get through 5 games to lift the trophy, and at this stage any team is capable of excellent football.

i think our style of play will intimidate and harrass the european passing teams, and our strength and pace will undo them, just as it has in every other game.

if we can just stop leaking silly goals!

im goin to put my neck out and say we are going to win this cup thing

Its going to be a cracking match! Im delighted with the draw, lets beat the holders and send out a message to the rest of the teams in the competition!

They will be more sick about getting us then we should be about getting them.

We'll do em.

I agree, i think they will be just as worried about us as we are about them ... This game could go either way, but if we can come away from Sevilla with at least a draw then i will be happy

WhiteWashMan

screw that, i think we will come away with a 2-1 win.

I think we can win, Sevilla are in a massive fight for La Liga (joint on points with Barca but 2nd on goal difference) so UEFA Cup won't be the number 1 priority. I think Werder would have arguably been tougher.

The home leg is, yeah.

Currently:

Away 5th April
Home 12th April

Seville trying to get the home leg changed cos it clashes with some festival they hold, gonna lose at least €200 if thats the case. Bast*rds.

That's why they want a change - Easter cermonies, big event apparently.
I'd prefer to play them over two legs. Should have King back as well for both games - if you believe Jol.
