Massive game away to Shakhtar tonight/tomorrow/whenever

2-1 lead into the away leg but confidently expect us to get turned over by a fantastic side.

Chant of the week at the home leg?

"You're Hull and you know you are" (Shakhtar play in Gold and Black)

Reports of already pissed up Whites at Gatwick at 8am and a fair few going over land by train - the recklessly stupid option.

1-1. 

Liverpool won 3-1 away to Unirea. Sporting/Everton is kicking off now.

Fulham through as well 3-2 on agg.  ... Everton losing 3-2 on agg latest.

Everton are out. Lost 4-2 on aggregate.

This "go away from home and deploy a 10-0-0 and hope for the best" is stupid. It never works.

 

[hasbeen]

Fernandez 94 min. now makes it 3-0 on the night and 4-2 on agg. .... bye bye Everton ...

 

[hasbeen]

Everton had 1 goal attempt on target in 94 mins ... the stuff of champions ...

Fulham are off to Juventus. Liverpool play Lille.

Early start at work today so havent seen the game.

By all accounts, Shakthar made us look like a pub side with their passing and movement - Wonder goal from Zamora nicked us a win but consensus is that our European tour endeth in the 2nd leg

Send out a 9-0-1, kick ten shades of shit out of anyone who dares to cross the halfway line.

Simple. 

Everton are out. Lost 4-2 on aggregate.

hmmm...

a 9-0-1 is different from a 10-0-0 dibo

 

[dibo]

Not *that* different!

 

[serious14]

At least with a 9-0-1 you've got _someone_ to hoof it to.  Everton were literally booting it 70 metres down the field to _no-one_. 

 

[marinermick]

Not *that* different!

but, see, in a 9-0-1 you have one guy up front who can hold the ball up to bring no one into play

in a 10-0-0 you don't have that luxury

Just steal my lines next time.

Ask Matty how easy it was for him for most of the year trying to chase down balls with two defenders, a midfielder and a goalkeeper all shutting him down. For half the year he might as well have stayed home.

And the Hull (oops sorry Shakhtar) boss had a massive cry after the game.

Furious Shakhtar boss Mircea Lucescu said: "I don't like the ref. He's Norwegian and that's not right. Fulham have Norwegians and at the end they were hugging."

2 posts from people still over there (and fairly pissed up by the sounds of it)

The overall arrogance of your club thinking you would push us to the side on your way to yet another European final, well I have news for you Shahktar, don't understimate the way the British do it, all your diving and cheating was not enough for you to undeservedly win the game! I was happy to see your 'president weep tears' after the final whistle. You are all style with no substance, poncy Brazilians and diving Ukrainians all over your team. Great stadium though! Au revoir, YOU'LL NEVER SHOP AT HARRODS!

and my personal fave..........

we've just f**ked their football team and now we are doing our best to f**k their women. What a night. Up there with the best fulham moments in my time. Hope all the stay at homes haven't nabbed all the cheap flights!

Meanwhile, somewhere around 2,500 reported to be going to Turin for the away leg against Juve.

And some, of course, are driving
