AZ has done a great job so far

At this stage of the competition i wasnt too fussed who we play! i dont want us to get too confident BUT i think we are good enough to beat any of the remaining teams! Villareal probably worry me the most, so i hope Bucharest knock them out :-D :-D

We played Sporting in the group stage and we drew 1-1 BUT it was a dead game, since we already qualified! Also Sporting will not be allowed to play Viana who has been in good form for them this season so that is a advantage for us!

We mustnt do what Boro did and that is lose at home.

dissapointing draw.. i iterate i dont care 4 for who we play..just hopedfor a kinder draw ie. played away first then played home becos we have fa cup semi after the second leg and we have to flyback. ..maybe after extra time!

[Geordie Ahmed]

toonboy its probably best for the squad to fly straight to Cardiff from Lisbon!

[Amjid Javed]

i recon newcastle should win this tourney, no scary teams here... accept maybe villareal

[Geordie Ahmed]

Villareal are a very good side at home, they battered Barca in La Liga at home! Forlan is in superb form for them!

I would rather not play Villareal but if we had to im glad it will be in the Semis and not the final! i think we have a better chance of winning over 2 leagues than a one off game

[Amjid Javed]

yeah forlans score 13+ goals... this season.

parma aint as good as they were.. newcastle shud be quitely confident
