Sorry so late with the thread.

No surprises on the starting 11.

 

[park the bus]

Arguably the strongest starting 11.

Yeah agree.

Just saw Turan’s prematch interview. He said “I don’t believe their players are any better than ours, they just have a better manager than us’.

I like him now, albeit I hope he gets thrashed tonight 😆

Well I didn't think I'd be too nervous about tonight, but the massive clear out I just had tells me otherwise. COYP.

OK, I've had a burger with plenty of onions washed down with rather a strong G & T and I'm on the sofa ready for the big night.

I'm getting excited now. Come on you Eagles - let's do it.

Posh gin and elderflower tonic?

This is like Brazil playing at Selhurst. Not even just having the kit.

listening on radio 📻 I hope we take the absorb the early pressure hit them on the break.

 

[Spindle]

I forgot already how technical this lot are. They just went out to Brazil and brought back a pile of street kids from the favellas

 

[Alanh]

A couple of early chances for them. COYP

 

[georgenorman]

They are all over us!

 

[Spindle]

Why are their fans here and not in their army?

They're all women or somehow ineligible.

 

[ASCPFC]

They are all over us!

We prefer that. If they put ten at the back, we'd lose.

 

[ASCPFC]

Pino is the best player we ever had.

 

[Spindle]

Pino loves Europe!

 

[Dogburger]

on our way!
