So Man Utd v Bilbao and Spurs v Frodo Baggins Semi-Finals. I'm a Spurs fan and would have preferred Lazio. At least you know you have a mafia backed referee and hostile atmosphere to contend with. If you get to Final you've done it hard way. Instead they get Frodo Baggins from the shire. Nobody in the world has heard of them and think Spurs should batter them because they're a bunch of goat herders. Just ramps the pressure up. Whereas Man Utd get a proper club and will be on it from first minute. Frodo Baggins v Man Utd Final for me. That would be very Spursy.
A very tough game for United. I actually wouldn't mind Athletic winning the whole thing, as I think their side is going to get raiding this summer. They're doing really well in this competition and in la liga. Both Williams' brothers, Sancet, Vivian are all linked with other clubs and have done very well. Unai Simon has said he won't be leaving this summer but if a club like Chelsea or United go in for him, I think he'll be tempted too - and I think he'd be a brilliant keeper for both those clubs.
