Mic09 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I dont know. If we can beat liverpool and spurs convincingly, couldn't we have a decent go in the competition? (considering we are AMAZINGLY lucky with injuries?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Ukrainian. So if you were looking for them in the Russian league, it's probably no big surprise you couldn't find them. They will be Russian soon if Putin gets his way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 their no pushovers Dnipro and will cause Napoli some problems. They also have transfer window favourite Konoplanka playing for them and Blackburn "legend" Kalinic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) No but I still fancy Napoli to come through. The other semi is harder to call. I prob just give Sevilla the edge. Can they retain the trophy? Its good for Italian football that they have a team in the champions league semi and two in the europa league.

Zatman Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 it wouldnt be first time for them if they did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I know nothing about Dnipro, but Napoli have looked about the best side in the competition so far from the sides I have seen. Sevilla-Fiorentina should be decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Sevilla have a habit of winning this thing, they're my bet. Sometimes Italian teams struggle against high tempo teams, think a Napoli vs Spain final would probably see the cup go back to Spain.. However, Napoli do have their fair share of Spanish/South American players, so who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isa Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Shame it couldn't have been a Sevilla-Fiorentina final but yeah, I fancy Sevilla to retain it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Never underestimate Benitez at this point in european competitions, he usually wins the thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Apparently Benitez still lives on the Wirral and commutes to Naples each week. Seems like hard work to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 He'll be back in England before too long methinks. I don't mind him. Anyone that can wind up SAF and Mourinho is OK in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 His family does, he lives in Naples. Took it from this article, on Esther McVey: 'Her constituency is divided, as are opinions of her. Wirral West encompasses the millionaire mansions of Caldy (attractive enough for the football manager Rafael Benítez to remain while making the weekly commute to his job at Napoli) but also the housing estates of places such as Woodchurch, one of the most deprived wards in the country.' It may, of course, be bollocks, but that's what it says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I like Benitez well not his tctics but as a person the only thing I cant stand is the idiots of his former club who still go on about him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 saw that we are likely to get a 4th place because of the fair play rules, didnt realise it was west ham that benefited from it though still find it funny that the team that missed out when the runner up rule changed the 1st time was us and now they are changing it again and the team that is likely to miss out is us 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
