ah ok, got those dates from SSN. did think playing on the 7th, 9th, 11th14th would have been a bit much! - is there a date for it? - midweek between man city and wigan is free...

I don't particularly want Valencia. Since we beat Barca in the semi in '01 we have failed to win in 5 games at home against Spanish opposition.

Nov '01 1-3 Barca
Oct '02 0-1 Valencia
Oct '04 0-0 Deportivo La C.
Nov '05 0-0 Real Betis
Mar '07 0-1 Barca

You also just know that Villa would not get a kick whilst the returning Morientes has a blinder.

PSV would be ideal, but something tell me it's gonna be the scum.

by **Red Red Tom** » Thu Mar 08, 2007 7:31 pm

I want the scum, the longer it goes before we play them again the less confident I'd be about it - and I think we'll have to play them to win it. But the closer it is to that robbery at Anfield, the more I think our lads will perform.

It's the 'Road to Athens' :nod

And did you know.....

'Best performance'
adidas claim the 14-panel design "creates a perfectly round ball allowing great accuracy and control", adding: "The combination of the revolutionary panel shape, a new carcass construction and the thermal bonding technology provide this official match ball for the final with the best performance qualities ever." The company has been supplying balls for the UEFA Champions League since the 2001/02 season and will continue to do so until at least 2009.

Home honour
Both finalists will receive the Finale Athens ball for use in their pre-match training in advance of the 23 May showpiece at the Olympic Stadium. The team that comes out on top in the final will also have the exclusive right to use the ball for home matches as they defend the prestigious trophy next season, as was the case with FC Barcelona this term.

The Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow for 2008

the Stadio Olimpico in Rome will host in 2009

Ditto. Hopefully if Chelsea could win that, I'd fancy us to go all the way as we've got the beating of them and based on the performances of the rest of the teams left in it - they're not all that special either.
