Europa and Conference Leagues — Semi-Finals, 1st Leg

I have a soft spot for some other teams based on where I've lived or visited. Bilbao is one of those places. Been there a number of times and have friends there.

Don't really understand why anyone would automatically want a team to win just because they were from the same country.

I don't really have much affiliation to England. I identify as British. That's what my passport says and the flag I served under.

I'll keep an eye on Chelsea tonight as well, but that's a family thing. My cousin, born in Liverpool and his parents from Speke, grew up in Battersea is a huge supporter.

Support Satan. No chance.

They've been the better side.

I haven't looked, but it would be interesting to see what the percentage of English players for both teams are.

Portugese and Australian managers.

Man Utd's support base are global and half of Tottenham's are from Cyprus.

THE difference in class between Bilbao and United was huge when they had equal teams it’s massive now like the difference in class between this match and the two we’ve seen in the European Champions games this week.

Everton have one of the highest percentage of English players in the top flight.

Despite my disconcerting for England I find it quite sad that as a nation of nearly 58 million, England can't compete with their own players.

I admire Forest for the the season they've had but always thought they would tail off. I hope they qualify for Europe, but I don't think it will be Champions League.

Not so long ago people were berating Moyes for not "aspiring" to be like them.

Football is an absolute joke.

I say Forest, because I believe it’s within his reach to emulate them and I also think that it will be easier for Everton, to move forward by playing with a similar system to the one that Forest, have been using this season.

The basis is there, because we are already as good as most teams defensively, so hopefully he his given the funds to buy a couple of players with pace and a couple more players with a little bit of craft.

If he his allowed to purchase a few players like this then I see no reason why Everton, can’t be the surprise package next season.

I live in hope, especially when I look at tonight’s results and see two teams around us in the table, both looking comfortable in their quest to qualify for a European final.

Let's hope Moyes has clarity in his plans and clarity in the profile of player he's after. Pace, especially in the wide areas, will hopefully be high on his agenda.
