DINNER WITH

LENNART

This morning, the great and good ... European football's wait, let's start again. This morning, the chancers who heads the European Football in Nyon went to see how the finals of major tournaments on the continent will take place. Gathered in the room at UEFA Lennart Johansson HQ - the only place in corporate functions in Europe, walls built with bricks of compressed air of foie gras - Football Mandarin reclining at ease in the form of chocolate, seats and leaned back waiting for the draw for the quarterfinals of the Cup in both the Big and Andre Villas Boas Memorial Vase.

then began to weep and cry like a full-day kindergarten children who had fallen next to their tricycles, realizing that the chairs were not made in the marshmallow, and would be able to bite anything until Paul Breitner guests had finished the drawing, when the waiters and waitresses are nice, due to come up with pints of juice spinal problems until lunch. Ten whole minutes without a livelihood! Fortunately, Breitner is not a man to faff about and quickly APOEL paired with Real Madrid, Marseille, Bayern Munich, Benfica, Chelsea and Milan and Barcelona. Then the sound louder noise and growling stomach delegates effectively established that Chelsea will face Barcelona or Milan, where to go to the semifinals, before quickly evacuating the scene to make way for an emergency between the draw buffet.

"When you reach the last eight teams, no connection is difficult," said Roberto di Matteo EBJT puppets, his voice barely audible, such as forklifts, trucks paraded, sending pallets quail pizza, fried venison and fresh leaf juice quiche port. "I have often seen Benfica. They were in the group of Manchester United. This is a difficult game for us. I think that we played the first game for us is good. "As delegates gathered around a table groaning like a wild fire, to devour their food 11:30, a costume seemed UEFA match AZ with Valencia, Schalke with athletic sports with Metalist, Hanover Memorial Athletic and AVB in the vase. But nobody was really listening. Not because it is considered a decorative vase unimportant - far from it - but simply because it was lunch in 29 minutes and everyone was starting to salivate Jabber and emotion. pork belly foam, four birds and roast lamb sweetbreads with beef drip sauce panna cotta ! Mmm! And this is just the appetizer

day CITA

"Since the beginning of this season was a disaster. Maybe we were overconfident at the start of [Big Cup]. Maybe we think we have the name and we went through easily , and we ended up going to [Basel / Basle / Baaaarrrrll]. It was a bad season for Manchester United in Europe and we can not disagree with that. We must be honest with ourselves. not deserve to be in [Big Cup] or [vase] That's it "-. Patrice Evra, a man who knows a thing or two of not having the right attitude in major competitions, laments a Manchester United at the Big Cup in which all they could say with certainty is that they were better than the sixth best team in Romania.

NO FROM THE PAST

Over the past 11 years, more than a dozen new states were created on Earth, about one billion people have been born, and the clones were made from buffalo bulletins tea water, sheep and football in a timely manner with a great fondness for hard drink and jokes. But at no time during this fertile time Sunderland AFC have managed to produce a victory over Everton. This is a relevant fact of the teams ahead of the FA Cup quarter-final at Goodison Park tomorrow. At least you'd think it was relevant, as was mentioned by all the fuggin preview 'of the game that you have read the Fiver.

In reality, of course, the outcome of games of yesteryear, which were contested by different actors and different managers in different circumstances, have a more or less relevance to tomorrow's game that the shirt and green fluorescent leggings for the former TV-am dynamo, Mad Lizzie. If Don Hutchinson was shot on the net for the Toffees or beat their opponents in Swizzles for Candystripes makes no difference to what James McClean, Jack Rodwell, Tony Hibbert, and it will do tomorrow, although the last of this probably the trio has played in all 159 previous meetings between the clubs (which Everton won 63, 48 and 117 Sunderland have been developed and no, we have not verified and not even know if the numbers add up, I suspect but do not because they were chosen completely at random, because there is no reason to do otherwise).

'Everton record against us is very, very good, but not something that worries me too, "said Martin O'Neill today, perhaps before revealing that does not intend to make a spare pair of trousers to the game, although many men he has no connection began to rise in recent years.

coincidence, tomorrow's game takes place in the same tournament, as clashes between Liverpool and Chelsea Stoke and Leicester, and the Spurs and Bolton - and against all those teams have each played in the past! The Fiver is not going to tell you what happened at previous meetings and then try to extrapolate from what happens this week. This is a matter of principle, it is understood, not laziness pure Friday afternoon.
