Looks like your pre-match optimism paid off tonight mate.

Yeah not bad for a change. Too much pessimism. Our quality shone through luckily. Hopefully it's onwards and upwards from here.

Hopefully. Too much pessimism can be very tiring.

Of course, we got Swansea. We all wanted the easiest opposition left in the competition but ended up getting the toughest. Typical. Need to win the first leg at home and hope we can take a healthy lead to Liberty Stadium.

And in this two legged semi final tie against Swansea, the away goals rule is in place BUT will only count after extra time if the score is leveled on aggregate.

seriously? how does that make sense. if the fa actually wanted to change anything then it should have been away goal rule till normal time and if both the teams score in extra time then nothing changes as the rule would then be for 90 minutes of play for both the teams.

If the score on aggregate is level after 90 minutes in the second leg, then it will go to ET. The away goals rule will count after that if the aggregate score is still leveled.

Ooo Luton my local so that be nice and a non premier league draw for us always causes uproar from Man U fans 'fix' blah blah blah the general crappyness they spout

[Milan 17,887]

Shame West Ham conceded that late goal. Could have been them against Millwall once again.

Well, they always get an easy group stage in the Champions League!

Would be happy as long as we get home tie especially if it's against a non-PL team.
