need to stay in Duesseldorf. great night life. Cologne is also within shouting distance. Essen is the nearest big town but very dull. :(

For the first time in 11/12 years I'm not in the least bit excited about the draw. I won't be having the usual sleep-less night, worrying about getting a good draw, and I shall not be making an effort to make sure I'm in front of a tv tomorrow morning.

The reason? Nothing to get excited about as with this team of under-performers, under achievers and renowned bottle-jobs, we're odds on to get knocked out, regardless of who we draw. If not this time, then almost certainly next. And that makes me sad rather than excited. :cry: :cry:

I can confirm NO and thats a BIG NO............. its like Villareal without the sun a large industrial estate.

Get there for the game a couple of hours before kick off. As for places to stay i guess Dortmund is better or Amsterdam :lol:

I seem to remember a decent night out in Dusseldorf
kebabs nearly as good as Dalston-on-Bosphorus

but somebody mentioned A-Dam... is there a train between the two?

assuming we come 2nd in group it will be schalke - if negotiations have not gone too well it could at pinch be munich - not i believe in conspiracies or corruption

schalke would be best trip having done others inc munich in feb which must have been coldest ever at football.
I agree, it'll be a German team. If not, it'll be a Spanish team

I actually thought Milan (2-0) was colder than the battering we took @Bayern
(Toure's first bad game for us)
but at least we had a huge snowball fight to warm us up

According to the **** representative on SSN monkey boy "ruined maicons international career"... bit of an exageration.

These *word censored* really do believe their own hype time after time, its quite funny really.
