    it's a combination of them being given a better seeding because they're english and that *a lot* of the good teams got knocked out so teams are being bumped up a seed.

    It's mainly because they are English. Because there can't be many teams in the tournament with less European experience than the pair of them.

    Karaganday might just surprise some people...

    they have a chance of getting out of this group

    Group L: AZ Alkmaar, PAOK Thessaloniki, Maccabi Haifa, Shakhter Karagandy.

    they should not fear anyone in this group after pushing us close.

    Spurs should win the group they are in and Swansea v Valencia good match for Swans fans to enjoy.

    Problem with Karagandy is that we gave other teams plenty of footage and ideas on how to combat them. I can see Aron Jóhannsson tearing up their defense with his dribbling, movement, and finishing.

    Karagandy currently 1-0 up away to PAOK Salonika.

    Good for them if they can hold on. They're being pummeled in terms of shots.

    Jermain Defoe is a "clinical, lethal and prolific" striker, don't you know.

    Overrated commentator pish as usual.

    He's decent. Always has been and always will be.

    The way the commentators go on about him whenever he does score you'd think he was banging in 25 a season every other year.

    When, in reality, he has only scored 20 in a season twice.

    He is a decent striker. No more. Don't buy into the hyperbole.

    Brilliant result for Swansea. Remarkable how far they have come in ten years
