Only a matter of time before SHakhtar do something big, didn't they concede to Sevilla in the 94th minute last year?

Great thread, always shown an interest in Eastern European football. Amazed at the money Shakhtar have spent again, hopefully they'll get a fair draw so they make it into the Group Stage of the CL.

Also can't believe Bojinov might be coming to the Prem. Madness!

Cheers, hope theres enough interest to keep this going beyond December this year

Shakhtar should make the group stage, then hopefully a decent group draw finally so they can make the last 16 (nearly did last year). Only a matter of time before the do

Fiorentina don't seem to need Bojinov, so it was only a matter of time before he left, doesn't seem to have developed as well as everyone expected. Be surprised if he joins City however, i'd have thought Zigic would have been a better buy for them

When's the draw for the 3QR?

This Friday, as per Bert's awesome site http://www.xs4all.nl/~kassiesa/bert/uefa/calendar2007.html. Everyone hope for the winner of FH Hafnarfjardar vs BATE Borisov

2QR gets underway tonight

Didn't know it was so soon, wouldn't mind seeing Red Star in the group stages. Spartak Moscow look like a nightmare unseeded team

Eastern European football \o/

I've often thought about an African football thread but i'm not sure. Opinions ?

[Richie P]

Should go for it I think, plenty of fans around i'm sure. Zamalek > *

If theres not an Asian one, i'll extend the definition of Eastern to mean anything up to Japan (ignoring the European bit)

2-0 Shakhtar now

And Partizan might be in with a chance of getting back into the UEFA Cup Partizan decision deferred

[nbrocky]

As a Newcastle fan really I think Partizan should be banned from all European football and we should replay all European football from the last 10 years. Especially any Champions League qualifiers which ruined us.

Don't think UEFA should be backing down here tbh. The only way fans will stop doing this is if the side is directly punished, not some of these petty fines - best way to screw the fans is to not let them have the satisfaction of European football.

Levski again unseeded in CLQ3, but that didn't matter last year :cool: Made a bloody fortune despite being hammered six times in the group stage. Probably cashed more money than all Bulgarian clubs put together. All time!

The red sc*m can forget winning anything for the forseeable future :p

Come on the Polish clubs!
