Will be massively disappointed if there's 20k empty seats like.

Suspended for Sunday

Nice finish there tbf.

Needed to hold down square shoot a bit longer for the penalty.

QPLOL

Surely the basics of goalkeeping should be knowing where someone sticks their pens? 6 out of 7 I think it was Berbatov has put in that corner but Cesar dived the other way.

Are people going to Rossio Square or Bairro Alto pre game?

These are a good team no doubt, but Celtic gave them a good game FFS. I'd probably say they're at a level akin to Arsenal, maybe Everton if they rest a few.

FWIW both MKSC and I did nets in the last game at SJP and we'd both rather not do it again.

Based on fuck all medical knowledge, but if not having this operation means we're going to have months of will he/won't he be fit, I'd rather he just have it even if it puts him out until September. Frustrating as fuck having hopes built up only to be told he's not fit again.

What do people want to do if we have no volunteer for keepers? Maybe have 4 people per team doing 15 minute stints in goal, and because of it they don't have to have any 'substitute time' off the pitch?

The draw will be conducted on Sunday, with the video posted on here on Sunday night. The away dressing room team will be in black and white. The home dressing room team can then choose what they want to do regarding kits, with the randomly drawn captain making the final call.

Anzhi had never failed to score either, before they played us.

You mean like the 2 goals KK scored against us in the FA Cup Final at Wembley in 74....!?? Somehow, everyone forgot about that...... No I don't mean like that, because it was 14 years before I was born. Hard to "forget" about something that you didn't see happen.

Pen. Howay

Awful miss that

Howay man, stop acting like a mackem. We don't need a list of your results to know you're a decent side.

Pardew said post game yesterday that Benfica would be as hard as the Man City game too. Not sure how he could have been more complimentary about them actually

I think you'll be very disappointed if you're expecting a good game. We'll be awful, play awful football and hope for a nil-nil. If we're lucky, we may turn in a rank average performance.

Would be hard to like Poyet giving how the cunt cost us the FA Cup under Bobby.

Yep. As soon as we went 3-0 down Cabaye and Sissoko should have been off.

Just wondering who people would want to replace Pardew? Someone who would realistically come. Would we be looking at an appointment like Martinez/Poyet/Di Canio, or try to get someone like Rudi Garcia? I'd get rid in the summer FWIW.

Massive 4 gamess for us. If we could take 4+ points and somehow fluke progression in Europe, it'd be massive for us.

Ridiculously small ticket stub for this. Won't make it easy to locate in my wallet after 6 hours on the lash

It's effectively like we use zonal attacking from corners. People just stand in their position and hope it falls to them. Only Taylor makes a half arsed effort to attack the ball.
