Europa League 2016/17

What a horrible match from Hertha BSC Berlin at Bröndby. They won the first leg in Berlin with 1-0 but after 2minutes in the 2nd the danish side already scored through Teemu Pukki. Ibisevic egalized after 30 minutes but only a few minutes later it was Pukki again with the 2-1 for the Danes. But this 1-2 would be enough for Berlin to advance. But they were simply to daft in the defence. A third mistake and the third goal for Pukki and that was it.

I really regret that I spent 90 minutes of my life to watch this crap from Hertha. They are a laughing stock as always.

Yes a good result for West Ham as expected in their first game at the Olympic Stadium, not much to take from their performance it was pretty poor opposition so it was more like a glorified friendly game. Shame for Aberdeen to go out but Maribor are a decent side and I expect they'll make the group stages, gutting missing that first half penalty as that would have changed the game.

In other results Cork City were knocked out tonight losing 2-1 on the night to Genk, while Brondby turned around a 1-0 deficit gagainst Hertha Berlin to go through 3-2 on aggregate.

That was some howler from Aberdeen! Bunch of knobheads anyway however.

The odds of West ham drawing Astra Giugiu again

Yes, a bit odd that they have to play Astra again. I couldn't believe that they failed last time . But I think the Hammers will do it this time. These are now playoff matches and they won't underestimated the Romanians. And they'll play at Olympic Stadium (SCNR). The Hammers played a great PL Season and they are matured. For me: No doubt they'll advance to the group stages.

Lille got knocked out by Qabala. Poor showing but not very surprising. Hopefully Saint-Etienne can make the group stages.

West Ham 1-0 up at HT v Astra Girgiu after another rather soft and debatable penalty.

 

[Liam_SWFC]

I think it was a definite penalty, hand up in the area no need to do that. Could be a few more in this for West Ham.

soft and debatable penalty

Soft and debatable?? the player flicked the ball with his hand, maybe he thought he was the goalkeeper!

West Ham bench looking delighted to be there.

 

[JimJams]

Whoops!

Soft and debatable?? the player flicked the ball with his hand, maybe he thought he was the goalkeeper!

Yes my mistake. Just seen a replay. Clear handball.

Terrible miss though from Antonio. Still expert them to have enough at the Olympic Stadium.

 

[Liam_SWFC]

Sloppy equalizer to give away, still they have the away goal and will be the happier of the two sides. Astra are a better side than Domzale but West Ham should put them to bed at their new home.

The West Ham game tomorrow better be good. Was only £10 so you can't turn down a game for that price.

Astra limiting West Ham here, if they were to get a goal this would get interesting.

 

[Liam_SWFC]

1-0 Astra, good counter attacking goal. West Ham got it all to do now.

 

[Super_horns]

The players might not going out but the owners will!

Bbbbbbbbut Bilic genius! NEW ERAAA!

 

[Stevencc]

That's great news for West Ham to be honest, without that shitty European competition to worry about they can focus on finishing in a Europa League spot this season.

 

[Liam_SWFC]

West Ham defeated and go out to Astra for the second season running, really poor performance tonight. Credit to Astra they dug in and defended well but they are a very limited side, and West Ham should be winning these games. Gokhan Tore looks absolutely dreadful as well.

Good draw for us. Hope I can get a ticket to Inter away.

[Stevencc]

Interesting enough group for us - I'm looking forward to the Fenerbahce games.

 

[Liam_SWFC]

Potentially a tricky group there for Manchester United, going over to Turkey will be difficult. Southampton likewise but a great game for them against Inter Milan, Dundalk will find it tough to get anything in there group I suspect.

A point will make the Irish people happy.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Group B looks hard to call!
