Mazzy Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Getting the ground to PSG levels for this is going to be a hell of a task! If we can get anywhere close to it I'll be happy. Dortmund won't come here with the same gung-ho attitude that PSG did. This will be alot more nervy. One goal in it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 And Dortmund already have one of Europe's most famous atmospheres, so it shouldn't blow them away like it did to PSG. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the additional benefit of clobbering Italy's chance of getting the 5th Champion's League spot... France aren't really a problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paullow Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Spent the past 5-10 mins trawling through pages and pages trying to find the general Champions League thread . Didn't realise it got renamed to this and thought this one was just created after the groups were drawn. I'm off for the rest of the week so looking forward to binging as much CL content as I can in the coming days. Galatasaray vs Bayern and Inter vs Salzburg at 5.45pm tomorrow, so will watch the former, and then the Goals Show in the evening, and then Feyenoord vs Lazio at 5.45pm on Wednesday which looks finely poised and hopefully a Minteh sighting, (there's also Barca vs Shakhtar at that time). Galatasaray getting a result against Bayern would be a big blow to Man Utd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 In two minds about wanting to see us and City be the only teams to get through to the knockout stages, it would really hammer home the point of how much we actually deserve to be there. But then thinking, if all fours clubs do well then there's a higher chance of Premier League getting a 5th spot next season and therefore us being slightly more like to requalify, its 50/50.

More than happy for Man Utd to drop into the Europa but have a decent run to rack up the coefficient points that way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Not arsed if Man U go through or not but I'd like Arsenal to get knocked out. Think they're one of only 7 or so teams better than us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 If the group is looking like this at 10pm tomorrow... Newcastle 7 PSG 6 Milan 2 Dortmund 1 We're as good as there. Think we'd only need one more win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd sooner that gap to Milan be at 5. Could be the difference between a win and a draw being needed and just a win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would look really rosy, but it could sharp change, especially with 2 tough away fixtures to come, where we may do well to take only a point. If Milan and PSG were to exchange wins, and Milan beat Dortmund at home on GW 5 then it could be PSG 9, Milan 8, and Newcastle 8 heading into that final Milan fixture. If we do win tomorrow then we'll almost certainly at least have it in our own hands going into that final Milan match, but a lot can change, especially when any away point in the group will be hard to come by.

wormy Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 The Newcastle fan of old that's still in me somewhere is terrified of a deflating loss tomorrow. I want to us to qualify way too much now. Let's put aside how ridiculous the concept is of being deflated by a loss to Dortmund in the Champions fucking League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to us to qualify way too much now. Let's put aside how ridiculous the concept is of being deflated by a loss to Dortmund in the Champions fucking League. It is a bit surreal. I am fully expecting a win tomorrow. I'm looking at oddschecker and the shortest odds for Dortmund is 4/1, some places a bit higher (9/2 at SkyBet), and they are drifting all the time. Most neutrals would expect Newcastle to win. On paper, it is by far the easiest match of the 6, and if you were looking to win at least one match in the group stage then this would clearly be it, and the PSG win only naturally enhances expectation. It would be a bit disappointing not to win, but that said, they are in the CL every year, have a lot more experience, used to big nights and atmospheres, still one of the biggest sounding names in European football, only lost the title to Bayern on the final day, doing well in the league this year, and all it takes is a mistake by Pope, Lascelles etc. or an early red card due to someone being caught up by the occasion / atmosphere, like a Bruno, and the whole complex of the match, and group, could change quickly. I do need to change the mindset that we should be on 7 points in 30 or so hours, because it is still Dortmund, we're still Pot 4, and would still need to be very much on our game and play well to get the win. Incredibly exciting though. Edited October 24, 2023 by Paullow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 If we win tomorrow we pretty much guarantee that we at least go into the last game v Milan with a shot of qualification. That's why PSG taking as many points from them in these two games as well would be a huge help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 I know it's obviously still pie in the sky, but I'd be lying if I said I hadn't - in all earnest - contemplated/pictured us actually winning the Champions League. I mean we did just batter PSG. Imagine that was what ended the trophy drought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
