Sturridge is, not sure on Coutinho.

[Gibbo]

Sturridge isn't?

Can be registered for the second stage of the competition as a January signing.

[The Birdman]

Chelsea are in the Europa League aren't they?
Sturridge can't play as he played in Europe for a club who are now in the same competition.

I think

[BigChief]

Really hope Coutinho plays. He excites me.

[Muddled]

I'm pretty sure Coutinho us cup-tied.

[Muddled]

On a side note, I reckon winning this thing is the only way we'll have European football next season.

Full team, let's try and win this thing.

Agreed - if we write this off with a half arsed team the season is over. In February. This is a great competition to be in when you get to the quarters/semis, let's take it seriously.

I have a feeling that this game wont finish.
Ian Ayre writing to Zent and UEFA, I wouldn;t be surprised to see the Racist chanting we have come to expect and a walk off from Liverpool and mroe controversy

[Shaggy]

I hope we do walk off if our lads get abused.

Bigtime, theres some good sides left, a Rafa team would be extremely hard to beat, Atletico the holders etc but we can be the equal or better than any of these on our day. Would rather we rested players in the league for this now than the other way round. Plus a few of the better teams are bound to do the "arghh it's the ****ty Europa League, let's not bother trying" thing and get eliminated like City did. Hopefully not us!
