Suppose this would have been better if i'd posted it near the start of the season but ahh well.. anyway if anyones been watching middlesbro recently in the uefa cup, fook have they been playin good! like when they came back against basle the other week 4-3, 3-0 down on agg. and then in the return they came back with 4 goals at home, was a great match and i dont even support them. Well i do kinda but only because there the last english team in it!
Roma were recently the favourties until middlesbro knocked them out and progressed to beat basle (swiss champions) last week and now they are up against steaua bucharest, i think they are romanian champs. should be a cool game =] shalke 04 are looking quite good tho atm, they are the only team left which dropped from the champions league.
Im gonna go with middlesbro because i think they'll pull off a shock this season =P

Boro should beat Steaua Bucharest but the final will be hard. If they play Schalke 04 they will win the UEFA Cup but if they play Sevilla I think they won't.

What do your base your judgement on? Don't forget Barcelona completely over shadowed Chelsea in the champions league this season

well tbh im gonna even this out... chelsea have better players overall but barcelona have ronaldinho and messi who are sorta the wonder kid playmakers of the team. chelsea just played crud on the night.. they played near to excellent in the first leg but got tired coz of del horno gettin sent off. in many respects chelsea were better last season but lost their momentum this season and then barca look the better side this season. i think premiership is better atm because middlesbro are on the verge of winning uefa cup and there like 14th. arsenal are like 6th and still in the champs league without certain players. barca are an exception to spanish football because they are a great team atm, real madrid have there on and off days but they have gone really poor of recent, i think tottenham could beat them atm. villareal have good clean sheets but the team isnt good enough to contend with most teams of semi final quality. and i think they were lucky to be where they are. its like saying tottenham are in the semis... osasuna i dont know much about but ive heard there playin really gd atm and i guess thats it. man utd could beat barca if they were given a crack, man utd beat chelsea, liverpool, arsenal and tottenham this season. and they went out only coz they were on a low at the time. so in a nutshell barca have probably the best chance to win champions league this season just like chelsea did last. the 2 big guns are gonna face each other in 1 semi and the 2 surprise teams will face eachother in the other semi.
anyway thats my speech..

sevilla pimped out a goal in extra time to get through and boro did the impossible.. i mean possible but like how the hell? they came back from 3-0 down on agg to win 4-3. this team is goin crazy with comebacks. sp yerr looks like the votes were well placed because bucharest and shalke didnt end up getting thru. the under dogs are thru to the final boro are simply great with these 3-0 down comebacks. now boro have to take on sevilla who have like luis fabiano, renato and a few other good players. boro have good wingers and older experienced players but i still think they need a new centre back, centre midfield and centre forward. most players in the middle just arent good enough. oh yea dont forget uefa cup winner gets free place next year in the competition too, go boro!
