1. Doesn't take much to beat United these days Kirsten. Bilbao were good but I expect Schalke to put up a better fight. Bilbao lost to Osasuna in between beating United so they're hardly bang on form.

    I just hope you only allocate them the same 800 seats that they gave United fans.
  2. United returned lots of tickets, Tim.
  3. Let them off then, makes sense actually. There was no forced purchase for season ticket holders for Europa League games, so I guess those who were offered a ticket declined.

    Sorry Bilbao, forgot the ridiculous ticket rule.
  4. hahaha no worries (I'm speaking as Bilbao here =P)

    By the way, Bilbao is in excellent form right now, believe me. Excellent. I think they would defeat Barça and Madrid if they played today.

    Schalke vs Bilbao will be a fantastic pair of matches. I'm expecting them to be pretty even, maybe a little of advantage for Athletic when playing in Bilbao and a little for Schalke when playing in Gelsenkirchen...
  5. Fernando Llorente was meant to be a Spurs player this season, but some how he didnt come. Now he's tearing it up and would cost a shit load.
  6. Fabrice Muamba has collapsed on the pitch against Tottenham and is now on his way to hospital. He needed CPR on the pitch.

    Apparently he wasn't breathing. Praying for him.
  7. Yeah read it, doesnt look good. Hope he makes it.
  8. Apparently he is in a stable condition now

    Wish him all the best.

    EDIT: And whilst we're at it, I hope Abidal's surgery goes ok.
  9. Well now 'confirmed' reports suggest he is critically ill. Very conflicting so far...
  10. very sad to see, didnt look good from what i saw on TV, hopefully he pulls through.
  11. He's still in critical condition, but quite "stable" there. Intensive care and all that stuff. I wish him all the best.


  12. unbelievable, so tragical. hope and prayers for him
