Thursday Night Football - The Europa League 2011/12 Thread

1-1 at HT in the Utd game.

Utd started the half very well but Ajax got back into in as the half went on, 2 very well taken goals. Suspicion of handball on Ajax's goal though.

Good game so far Ajax score next and it makes this a very very interesting game.

1-2.

2 minutes to be added. 1 goal for Ajax and its game over for Utd.

Also De Gea pulled off a world class save earlier on in the half.

£77 for a Bilbao ticket

it'll kick off there as well, unless utd voice some hate at spain ( tbf this is something celtic would do though)

do they throw in travel for that or something!?

[TheMaraudingDog]

Not sure his many United will be there to be honest.

Game only 2 weeks away and everyone's spent all their money on prostitutes.

Im eyeing up the Pompey to Bilbao ferry. 24 hour session.

Superb game tonight. Utd were very sloppy, Bilbao were excellent and, but for De Gea, should have had 5 or 6.

Just backs up Uniteds need to sign players, they have been abysmal at home in europe this season. Teams have gone from fearing going there...to almost expecting to win. Their away record has been good which might pull them through but they are going to have to score big time. Probably out tbh.

Aggers why are utd so stubborn in bringing people in, is it the glazers or fergies loyalty to the current crop?

Sniejder, hamsik, van der vaart, modric,etc 1/2 of them should LONG be in by now.

Says a lot about how overrated the Premier league is. The 5th team in Spain outclass Man Utd on there own patch.

+++++ loads

and a massive LOfL @ talksh!te b4 both games waxing off about the likelihood of an all Manc Final.

..... Also intrigued by how they were so dismissive of the crowd size last night; didn't fit with ITV blathering on about Sporting's biggest game of the season b€llocks.

Match was so much better without commentary - as usual.

Classic over reaction.

It was their Cup Final in a game we were not that interested in. Palace did a job on us so would you say The Championship is better than the Premier?

The difference is though, anyone one of 5 times are capable of winning the Premier League - in Spain its 2

THATS why people say its the best league in Europe - as in best to watch as anyone can beat anyone

[Terminal Boardom]

Did I see lots of empty seats at OT last night? Good job that Bilbao brought a load over with them. And if AB are the 4th or 5th best team in La Liga, it does not say much about the self-proclaimed strongest league in the world does it? RaphaeLOL!

[soggy biscuit]

15,000 empty seats apparently

[Gandalf Presley]

Anyone of five teams can win the premier league, but only four have won it.

Does not compute,does not compute...

The key word was "CAN" - not "have"

Anyway, so you dont think Man City can win it this year?!

[Silver Fox]

Cracking game, have they found Rafael in a skip yet?

[Maguire]

Very good game from what i saw but LOL at Rafael for the third

[TBM]

3 Spanish teams in the last 4 - combined with 2 in the champions league........

saw about 30 mins of the second half of the bilbao/schalke game and it pissed on the usual match of the day crap.
