SK Rapid Vienna vs Ajax Amsterdam!

Brilliant timing! I move to Amsterdam on the 3rd - Rapid fly out on the 4th (probably) - press pass and a good look around the Ajax ArenA & press/conference facilities and the match on the 5th.
Wonder if I might bump into on of Spurs' ex-Ajax contigent. Can't wait.

I also reckon Rapid have a decent shot at causing an upset here. Should be sold out 48K in Vienna I expect.
 
Only one real upset and that was Maribor getting knocked out by FC Astana. Dundalk would have knocked out BATE Borisov with a 1-0 win at home, but it finished 0-0.

First legs: 28/29 July
Second legs: 4/5 August

I take it we need to be supportive of the English sides this year, we must be in a lot of danger of losing that fourth champions league place? Would be typical of Emirates Marketing Project to not only prevent us from finishing in the top four with their spending but cost the whole country it's 4th spot as well.

We won't lose that fourth CL spot until Spurs finish fourth in the PL. Besides, why would we want Chelski or The Arse to do well in Europe?
 
I want United to do well.

I want Jose to do well.

The others, may they be out as soon as possible.
