Ross-Kemp Posted 1 August 2013 Posted 1 August 2013 Cracking win for St. Johnstone tonight away in Belarus. Swansea currently 0-0 at home to Malmo on itv4, Swansea are looking the better team.
Ross-Kemp Posted 1 August 2013 Author Posted 1 August 2013 Scrap that, Swansea 1-0. Michu, poor defending, tidy finish.
Harry - LCFC Posted 1 August 2013 Posted 1 August 2013 Really, really want to play in Europe one day. The thought of playing, and even winning, at clubs like Athletico Madrid, Benfica and Valencia. Wow! Tantalising stuff.
MC Prussian Posted 1 August 2013 Posted 1 August 2013 A mixed evening for the Swiss clubs involved. Thun beat Swedish side BK Häcken 2-1 away, while FC Zürich lost at Slovan Liberec with the same scoreline, after having led 1-0.
Tom17LCFC Posted 1 August 2013 Posted 1 August 2013 After watching the Swansea documentary on BBC last night I'm so glad they're smashing Malmo tonight. Hope one day we can follow suit again, would love a european away.
Soar Fox Posted 1 August 2013 Posted 1 August 2013 Really, really want to play in Europe one day. The thought of playing, and even winning, at clubs like Athletico Madrid, Benfica and Valencia. Wow! Tantalising stuff. I was fortunate enough to go to both of our home games in the uefa cup. My dad was lucky enough to see us take the lead in the Vicente Calderón.
Corky Posted 1 August 2013 Posted 1 August 2013 Looks like the Swans are taking it seriously. Good luck to them, very well run club.
Leicesterpool Posted 1 August 2013 Posted 1 August 2013 I actually quite enjoyed watching that, some nice attractive football on show there! are you watching Nigel? Swansea look to get better and better every season.
Hollism Posted 1 August 2013 Posted 1 August 2013 I actually quite enjoyed watching that, some nice attractive football on show there! are you watching Nigel? Swansea look to get better and better every season. Absolutely. Every club in the FL (outside the prem top 10) should aspire to be like them.
Father Ted Posted 1 August 2013 Posted 1 August 2013 Really, really want to play in Europe one day. The thought of playing, and even winning, at clubs like Athletico Madrid, Benfica and Valencia. Wow! Tantalising stuff. Same! My ultimate dream fixture would be an away tie at Hajduk Split for no obvious reasons whatsoever.
Lamby Posted 1 August 2013 Posted 1 August 2013 Been watching random games of this for the past month or so, some real outsiders doing well: Chernomorets O. 3 - 1 Red Star Belgrade Hajduk Split 0 - 1 Dila Gori
Father Ted Posted 1 August 2013 Posted 1 August 2013 Been watching random games of this for the past month or so, some real outsiders doing well: Chernomorets O. 3 - 1 Red Star Belgrade Believe me, Red Star would get turned over by a League 1 club, such an odd team in all honesty, lots of technical ability but f all else. Hopefully can turn it around at home and get a nice tie in England or France or Germany that I could get to. Milijas (ex Wolves) Nejc Pecnik (ex Sheff Weds and half of the Championship linked with him at one time) and Milos Ninkovic are all on the books this season so looks like it could be a bit better.
Harry - LCFC Posted 3 August 2013 Posted 3 August 2013 I was fortunate enough to go to both of our home games in the uefa cup. My dad was lucky enough to see us take the lead in the Vicente Calderón. Must have been so disappointing to go out so early in the competition both times. Unlucky to be draw against such good teams. Watched Marshall's goal on youtube a few times, away end looks nuts! Quite an experience seeing Leicester take the lead I'm sure! That ref in the 2nd leg is such a biased cvnt as well!!!!
RobHawk Posted 8 August 2013 Posted 8 August 2013 Swansea Vs Malmo 2nd leg on ITV4 tonight!! The tie is over really but interesting to see what Swansea can do on the road! they looked immense at home in the first leg!
shen Posted 8 August 2013 Posted 8 August 2013 As usual, the Europa League throws up quite a few upsets: Club Brugge, Red Star, Vitesse, Bursaspor, Zürich, Lech Poznan, Hapoel Tel-Aviv, Metalurg Donetsk and Haiduk Split all knocked out already. Tromsø given a real scare, only defeating Luxembourg outfit Differdange on penalties. Stuttgart also had a mighty close shave, while Breidablik unfortunately lost on penos. The opposing keeper saving an incredible four out of five spot kicks.
MC Prussian Posted 9 August 2013 Posted 9 August 2013 The exit of FC Zurich isn't that much of a surprise, really. They've been underperforming on a regular basis for about five or more years now - it doesn't say a lot about a league when half (!) of the top division's clubs can compete in Europe (five out of the ten in the Swiss Super League). Besides, Slovan Liberec aren't a bad side, either. Still, Zurich paid the price for foolish behavior - leading 1-0 in both ties, only to invite the Czech side back into the game with sloppy play. Now waiting for the draw for the next round for Grasshopper, St. Gallen and Thun today...
Leicesterpool Posted 22 August 2013 Posted 22 August 2013 Swansea already three up! blimey there really taking this tournament seriously! Also watched Spurs reserves hammer a Georgian team earlier 5-0! even Harry Kane came on!
Ross-Kemp Posted 22 August 2013 Author Posted 22 August 2013 It was hardly Spurs reserves was it, Naughton was the only 1 who probably won't play the majority of games this season. Cracking finish from Rose though. Glad Swansea are doing well, good set up and I've got Routledge in my dream team.
MC Prussian Posted 22 August 2013 Posted 22 August 2013 St. Gallen got an unlikely result at home, drawing 1-1 with Spartak Moscow. Fear for a right tanking in the reverse fixture, though. Thun are holding up pretty well at the moment, no goals away at Partizan as of right now. Grasshopper, however, are doing the city of Zurich as well as the rest of the country a big favour by just not turning up. Nothing surprising, really. Still no wins for both FC and GC in all European competitions this year... Pathetic. Although, playing against Fiorentina doesn't help the cause, does it?
Northants Fox 3 Posted 22 August 2013 Posted 22 August 2013 Swansea already three up! blimey there really taking this tournament seriously! Also watched Spurs reserves hammer a Georgian team earlier 5-0! even Harry Kane came on! Swansea 5 - 0 up now
Corky Posted 22 August 2013 Posted 22 August 2013 Swans won 5-1, stunning overhead kick for the other team's goal.
Leicesterpool Posted 22 August 2013 Posted 22 August 2013 Swans won 5-1, stunning overhead kick for the other team's goal. Yeah it was a good one, Grozav! Sign him up Nigel
StanSP Posted 22 August 2013 Posted 22 August 2013 The goal for Petrol Pussy was the best of the night in that match. Superb hit.

Now waiting for the draw for the next round for Grasshopper, St. Gallen and Thun today... Your not kidding, a 3-1 win at the Friuli certainly backs that up! I was about to say nice to see both English clubs through and then I remembered
