Yorkie Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 We've had three pops at the Champions League in our history prior to this, and so far this is the only one devoid of anything truly memorable. If we win here, vanquishing the memory of that disgraceful robbery two years ago, then it's four out of four. HTL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 22 minutes ago, SUPERTOON said: Didn’t say I wasn’t looking forward to it, don’t care about the extra money either. Still think we get absolutely battered. I can understand not being optimistic, but if you take money out of the equation then this is easily one of the biggest games of the season. If this were 50 years ago we'd say the league is irrelevant at this point and the biggest games left would be this one, the LC semifinal, and the FA Cup. But everyone reacts so strongly to league performances and I don't think anyone is holding onto title aspirations, so all that's left is qualifying for Europe and earning money to then buy new players. This is a high profile game in the top European competition with a chance to earn a bundle of money and advance further than ever. This is where I become stuck. How are there "bigger games coming up?" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Can’t see us getting fuck all. Just keep the score down and no more injuries, please. That’s the spirit etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Even full strength I'd be surprised if we win so I'd much rather we rest key players and prioritise the Liverpool game, would do the same with City next week and prioritise the Brentford game Though knowing what Howe is like there's not a chance he'll do that and I admire that about him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miggys First Goal Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 You know what, fuck these cunts. They’ve got a receipt coming from the last time we were there. We seem to turn up for big games, and there’s probably no bigger game this season. We go. We play. We conquer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
500bhp Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 1 hour ago, SteV said: A reminder of our bench the last time we pitched up here and were one minute and one idiotic refereeing decision from winning: Dubravka Karius Hall Dummett Huntley Ndiweni Parkinson Anything is possible. Not disagreeing with any of that but we did have one of the world's best strikers playing for us who scored our goal. We dont really have his type now.

McDog Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Hope I can watch it. My wife is having a major surgery 4 hours before kickoff so the game is up in the air for me. No reason why the Mags can't win, not on top form but revenge from two years ago is needed so as my Indian co-workers sometimes say "Do the needful".

ryanegg Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I’m really hoping it’s one of those games where Eddie has us fired up to fuck. I’m not majorly hopeful of it after recent showings, but we will see. Their recent form is alright, but nothing mind blowing. We have every chance if we turn it on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then I see this: Honestly not sure what anyone wants at this point. We're playing the European champions with a chance to advance further than ever in this competition (and bank €11m for those so worried about missing out on Europe next year). Since the Milan home game 2 years ago? Guess it depends on how you see it. Edited January 27 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 A chance (small one) to get into the last 16 with the knowledge we have the safety net of the playoffs should we lose.
