Yup we could draw Gala, we could even draw Club Brugge.

Fuck I hope not; don’t need another cheaty anti football game.

I’m worried they’d fucking trample us.
We’d be fine against any of the potential next four opponents, it’s the round after that where we’ll be in big trouble.

Didn’t we beat them and that’s even after we handed them a potential draw?
We actually lost to Gala, not to mention our form in this has been a lot better against the better sides which again probably is more a concern than simply a shit half of football being played shit.
I don’t think we’ll go far (I just don’t trust our overall balance enough to go all the way, regardless of again a positive league phase of the thing), but of course I’m gonna hope and enjoy it step by step.
In 2005 it was surviving in Turin when I started believing we actually might do something. That night was a big moment. You could even see it with the celebrations among players and staff on the pitch.
And as Mourinho said, winning a QF and getting to SF is often the moment when things start getting seriously possible.

Yup like any cup competition things can switch on a game day. After all we were favourites last year.

For me, favourites in the CL is so hard to predict and that’s exactly why I’m not giving it much importance. It can really depend who you ask, betting sites, media, fans, etc. Even planning to win the thing, what is there that you can realistically do to increase your chances? Not much. We’ve seen different clubs with their great plans to win it and it took them years and decades. Some still haven’t won it. I mean, we can all also see what type of clubs win it most years. It’s mostly some of the big boys. But actually picking one is so difficult. I rather just enjoy the journey.
Oh dear Mignolet…
I did wonder if it was the same Mignolet but that has confirmed it.

That’s the Mignolet we all know.

Feels like ages since we’ve been linked with Ordonez
I really like Jonathan Pearce as a commentator. He is very soporific. Don’t know why he doesn’t get Premier League games.
Simon beaten again… maybe should have got to that too?
State of Griezmann’s hair 
Is it worse than Elliott’s?

Atletico Madrid confirmed as a possible opponent for us. The winner of Galatasary vs Juventus tomorrow will be the other.
Bodo staying off the ropes, getting to half 0-0 would pile pressure on Inter

Bodo making it too easy for Inter to build pressure. If they give up a goal, they will be in trouble - really need to get some play in the Inter hand to eat up some clock toward the 60’

I’ve just tuned in, got the Bodo game on. I was expecting to see Inter fighting back, but this is brilliant. Bodo have extended their lead from the first leg and from the few minutes I’ve seen, they are passing it around really well.
