Europa League 2012-13 - QF: Basel (SUI)

Re: Europa League 2012-13 - Round of 32: Lyon (FRA), Round of 16: Winner of Inter - C

2 proper bo Euro ties. Stick your CL up your arse.

Yes, our attack performed well (two goals from Jimmy Greaves and goals from Alan Gilzean & Cliff Jones) but our defence let us down badly that night at the Lane, conceding three.

Hoy and Bond were simply not good enough replacements for the injured England & Mullery.

Cheers, well pleased with my memory on that one :)

Wish the ties had been the other way round - I fancied a wee trip to France during the School Feb holiday

Are Lyon that good anymore?
 
Re: Europa League 2012-13 - Round of 32: Lyon (FRA), Round of 16: Winner of Inter - C

Certainly not the force they once were. Didn't they win 6 titles in a row or something?

Something ridiculous like that. What was the name of their Brazilian free kick master? Hope he's not still there...
 
Re: Europa League 2012-13 - Round of 32: Lyon (FRA), Round of 16: Winner of Inter - C

We're about to find out - my guess is that they are still good and we'll do very well to beat them.

For sure, I'm sure they're still decent. But I'd hazard a guess we've got the better players, who is the better team I have no idea....

Juninho? He's back in Brazil, still scores some insane goals though.

I had a quick look on the main Lyon forum and my rusty French tells me that, along with Atletico, Napoli and Inter, we were one of the clubs that they wanted to avoid.

They were more than a tad miffed when, as the draw progressed, it became clear that their only choices were us and Napoli. Even more miffed when it transpired that Inter would be the likely opponent if they beat us.

Some of them even seem to think that they have little chance of getting past us. Just goes to show that they're at least as respectful and wary of us as we are of them.

And, of course, they're all looking forward to seeing Hugo back at the Stade Gerland.

P.S. I hope that the club allow the 1882 group to take over a couple of blocks for this game.

hmm...this about summed up how I felt. When Saudi Sportswashing Machine was drawn before us for both last 32 and last 16, my hunch feeling was that we are about to get tough draws, may be Lyon and Napoli. Well...

The Liverpool and Fulham games would be Sunday games should we prevail against Lyon.

And the 9 Mar league game might become a FA Cup sixth round game too. \o/
 
Re: Europa League 2012-13 - Round of 32: Lyon (FRA), Round of 16: Winner of Inter - C

We always seems to get tough teams in the knock out stage of the European competitions. We could do with some luck in Europe. Can see this being a tough match against Lyon. It reminds me of the Peace Cup Final against Lyon which we won. Hope we beat them again. But it is annoying to know we have another tough match against Inter in the next round if we beat Lyon. I think we have to strengthen the team in January to have any chance of beating both Lyon and Inter, especially in midfield and defence.
