Next Gen Semi vs Sporting Lisbon is on Tv

[dave.woodhall]

Its on Eurosport next Fri 8pm I know loads of you will be going but us exiles will be able to watch

According to the Radio Times, the first semi-final is on from 4.30pm and the second from 6,30pm.

Yes and the Europort website.

Do Italians get excited about an away trip to Como Calcio in the same way that we get excited about having Blackpool as an away game? (Except that Como looks nice). Possibly a question for Archie.

No.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Sporting Lisbon? There's no such club.

Hmmm, I always think it's technically Sporting Clube Portugal and Benfica are something like Sporting de Lisboa Benfica.

It’s like Inter Milan. No such club, but its how us John Bull like to describe them, so Johnny Foreign can ruddy well lump it, less the oiks want a thrashing from my copy of the Telegraph.

I have seen foreign websites who call teams:-

Arsenal London and Chelsea London, so it's not just us. Think we're probably the worst for it though.

Not sure how Red Star Belgrade became Crvena Zvedza (or something like that).

[cdbearsfan]

Crvena Zvedza simply means "Red Star". Foreigners add on Belgrade. They don't mention the city name themselves, neither do Partizan.

I noticed in the Reading game stream the name Birmingham was mentioned a lot whenever we had the ball, it of course might not have been a complimentary comparison by Johnny Foreigner.

Thanks 'go on the dog' for letting us know.
I subscribe to Eurosport as they show all the motorcycle racing, glad my money can be used during the off season like this as they show bugger all while the bikes are away.

Ditto for me..... at last something good on Eurosport apart from bike racing.

[Dave Cooper please]

[at last something good on Eurosport apart from bike racing.

You mean you don't like Pro-celebrity yachting and the 4x4 synchronised bobsleigh.

[D.boy]

Let me think about that for a moment..... er nope I can't see the appeal to be honest.

[danlanza]

Never been to Lake Como and would have loved to have gone to this but the first team come first.

Can't see many 'hardend fans'  going there when the first team are playing.

If i was allowed to fly I would choose to go to lake como and watch the Liverpool game on tv , Easter in lake como is much more attractive than Easter in aston:)

Oh well, just enjoy it on telly mate.

Not in the same way.
The area is a beautifl location and the stadium is just on the banks of the lake, but the laker atmosphere is very quiet and relaxing, not so exciting like that of Blackpool (having passed the 40's I prefer the lake by the way).

[cdbearsfan]

You're missing out. Blackpool is renowned for its culture and sophistication. It is often referred to as a Lancastrian Florence.

Absolutely fantastic, into the final v Chelsae on monday - again on eurosport @ 1730
Rode our luck a bit but brilliant non the less.

[Phil from the upper holte]

I watched it, thought we did well rode our luck at times but was pleased to see the same kind of defensive errors the first team make

[darren woolley]

I'm pleased we are in the final well done lads.
