Rangers_no1 15,195 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Never seen another thread so created this. Which teams do you expect to go far and have a good tournament? Top goalscorer, Falcao again? Seems Tottenham don't care about the tournament...TOTTENHAM: Cudicini, Bassong, Čorluka, Walker, Livermore, Townsend, Carroll, Pavlyuchenko, Dos Santos, Falqué and KaneSubs: Gomes, Stewart, Barthram, Fredericks, Nicholson, Parrett and Pritchard Quote Link to post Share on other sites

McKissock 872 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I know the Spurs squad is a bit depleted right now, but Harry can't deny he treats the competition with contempt cause all he does is complain about it and put out youngsters whether they have injured first team players or not.

disgruntled_bear 157 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Liking the look of FC Schalke for the Europa league, with either Raul or Huntelaar for top goalscorer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I really can't stand the attitude that it's worthless or a distraction. The way folk down in England, and even up here at times, speak of the competition is ridiculous.

Actually he didn't, he played kids in their last 32 tie with Shakhtar if you remember because of the distraction from what at the time was a relagation battle.Doesn't seem that this competition will ever suit Harry.

As for that 32 tie, that's actually wrong he played the odd kid but it was still pretty decent line-ups.Gomes, Gunter, Huddlestone, Dawson, Chimbonda, Jenas, Zokora, Parrett, Bentley, Giovani, Campbell.Gomes, Gunter, Chimbonda, Huddlestone, Gilberto, Giovani, Palacios, O'Hara, Bale, Campbell, Obika.
