janu 0 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 From .com UEFA Cup shaping up Tuesday's Champions League fixtures made the picture regarding UEFA Cup qualification a little clearer - although our next tie will be against a side who attain a third place finish in the UEFA Cup Group Stages. Five of the eight Champions League third place sides are now known, with the other three to be confirmed on Wednesday: Steaua Bucharest, Werder Bremen, Bordeaux, Shakhtar Donetsk, Spartak Moscow The draw for the last 32 takes place on Friday December 15th - the day after the final set of UEFA Cup Group games. We cannot play any of the following sides who have already qualified: Blackburn, Spurs, Parma, Nancy, Espanyol, Dinamo Bucharest. While the following qualifiers could face us, if they end up in finishing third in their group: Rangers, Maccabi Haifa, AZ Alkmaar, Zulte Waregem, Seville. I would say we've got a fair/good chance against most of those teams *puts tinhat on* Hopefully CSKA, Benfica and AEK will join in tonight.

Isegrim 8941 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 There are a couple of decent teams in, but not really any of the European heavyweights. Any team still involved has the chance to win it IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janu 0 Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 (edited) There are a couple of decent teams in, but not really any of the European heavyweights. Any team still involved has the chance to win it IMHO. Agree with that. I think the only two who stand above the rest are Werder and Seville.

Matty 0 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Wouldn't fancy playing Seville tbh. Would love to get Rangers, fairly confident we would beat them. And we did in 1969 when we won the cup as my dad always tells me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
