Europa League Draw

[King Kev]

FC Timisoara won 2-1 in the first away leg against some team from Finland (MyPA I think), and in yesterday's game they were 3 goals down at half time on their own ground. They managed to score the 3-3 goal somewhere around the 90th minute.

As I said before, they're crap. The romanian championship started about 2 weeks ago, Timisoara managed two 2-2 draws against really weak opponents (both home and away). Their only threat will be the atmosphere in the stadium.

Shit GK (though he's a tall shit GK), shit defence, mediocre midfield (Alexa and Bourceanu are two solid and aggressive defensive midfielders), shit forwards (the pace of Goga and the skill of Zicu might be worth to keep o close eye on).

For me it's the best draw we could've had, really looking forward to seeing City after so much time, even though I'll have to travel some 800km by car (and this can be such an adventure in Romania)

Thanks for that, I can see you being very useful over the next few weeks!

That looks like it's in fucking Transylvania to me! Gary Neville will have relatives there. Personally I don't fancy getting caught in the Carpathians.

Just 4 links with the atmosphere from some matches. This is so important, the crowd can take Poli in other places...remember Sahtar Donetk. Yes the start of this season was not so great for us, but this is not a reason to call us sh*t or something else. You will be wellcome in Timisoara and u will pe impresed of our beautifull city.



More pictures here: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthrea ... 359&page=2 it's in english, so u will find any info about city there.
From England i like Mancherster City...u had that purple kit like our colors. :D
Good luck and see u at Timisoara/Manchester!

We're just having fun mate. It's just the way we are. I'm sure City fans who go over will have a great time.

Welcome to the board anyway.

That's correct. It was MyPa. I saw the highlights on both home and away ties and yes, they looked shite. Should be walk in the park.
