    This is a tough Group we have to get some away points to stand any chance of progression to knock out stages

    Freddy Adu is so overrated imo he is no Scott Brown for an attacking player his goal scoring record is not that impressive someone who plays upfront and attacking mid should get more goals

    Freddy Adu? we have nothing to worry about. I have yet to see him do well at any club level.

    By the way, if any of you lads fancy getting a team together to play a friendly match in Lisbon against the locals, give me a shout - I know a decent bunch, who'd be up for 7- or 11-a-side. My uni old boys' side played them and the Spartak fans did as well when they went over to Lisbon for the Champions' League game last December.
