Doubt he'd sign for us now after we snubbed him the last time

Would've liked a glamour tie until it became apparent that with the possible exception of Villareal, there weren't really any glamorous teams in our pot. I'm particularly glad we avoided Man City. Would've been handy for the fans, but don't think I could have stuck the condescension of the English meeja before, during and after the game (especially as we'd most likely have got pumped).

And it's Odense v Motherwell .

Here we go then... Pot 7

Dundee Utd v AEK Athens

Dundee Utd in this pot...

We can get Villarreal(ESP),Fenerbahçe(TUR),Manchester City(ENG),Lokomotiv Moskva(RUS), Odense BK(DEN), or Dinamo Zagreb (CRO).

Nope, first out the pot is home first... just the luck of the draw.

Casagolda!

And we're off...

Unless you only start counting three years ago to give us a 100% Euro qualification record, I can't really imagine that we'd be best at anything.

Group stages by a mile. Not so much for the money, which would be great, but just because it would be a fantastic first for the club. Realistically, though, it would probably take a giant-killing effort the like of which a Motherwell team has never pulled off before!

I'd still bite your hand off for this score after 90 mins!

Yes, it really is the right Lukas

It's possible to use a proxy server, but it's usually very hard to find a free UK proxy that works. If you're keen enough to pay £5, you could sign up to use the proxy at http://www.my-expat-network.co.uk, which I'm using to listen to the game now. You can cancel after one month.

Sounds like a decent crowd on the radio... any estimates?

And how much extra do you think it would it cost us to hire and police Hampden, compared to Fir Park?

Nope. Why give them the advantage before we'd even kicked off?

There's no such thing as a foregone conclusion when you're a Motherwell fan. Aalesund could turn up at the Firhill instead of Fir Park and we could still contrive to lose (Craigan (89), O.G.).

The next one

Sadly it does, or companies wouldn't be daft enough to waste such vast amounts of money every year on advertising.

Have you looked down behind the sofa?

Had certainly heard of Anglian and Zoom, not Jaxx though. That said, your point is reasonable... most advertising isn't about making you think "oh, I must go and buy some new windaes". It's about increasing brand awareness, so that when the time comes that you *do* need that sort of service, that company will come to mind as an option, subconsciously or otherwise.

And not just 'helping', but scoring in every round (if you count his pen in the shootout against Morton, anyway). Not many players anywhere have done that, I'd imagine.

Hmm, will look into that when I can... just heading away for the weekend now and off to Holland on Sunday night, so might be a few days before I get a chance...
