I must admit I did think we would likely proceed following the PSG game. Not getting carried away but probably guilty of underestimating the impact of CL pedigree which is massive for European naive teams like us. But you know, you manage your expectations based on your most recent matches - results, performances, injuries and suspensions. Now progression is looking unlikely. But we've never looked like giving up, we can truly hold our heads up high whatever happens from now on. It's been a blast and I couldn't be happier with all aspects of the team.

The pemutations are doing my head in. I think it's possible we could come last with 7 points which would be quite something. The problem is not having a whipping boy in the group. Almost like its a group of death, who'd have thunk it?

Gonna get bummed to the afterlife in Paris I fear.

Think I said on the Joelinton thread if this lad could score he'd be world class. He can't though.

Absolutely no chance of winning this cup anyway. Fair chance of winning the EL if we enter it. Got the PSG memories. We'll be back some time soon.

We've just put Miley on. Is this child abuse?

Oh well, no disgrace in this.

Honestly, lose today then I'm hoping PSG do Milan and we do them at home to get third.

We are building a class side. Can't be done in 3 windows I guess, but very promising.

PL and some Mackem opportunist brickies iirc.

Never his fault.

Is the sound on the telly really representative 9f the ground? Sounds immense tbf.

Outstanding moral Germans arent accepting our brown bags.

Fuck!

And they're dirty cheating jorman Kuntz.

Only seen us since we conceded. I that time we have played really well. Still in this.

Gordon is being groomed as a utility striker isn't he? Mught replace Wilson later on. Fuck, I have to take my daughter to dancing and will miss some of the first half. But ... It's only 4 miles away and yeah it's dark, and she is only 9 years, but she could walk it right? Right?

You can't fault the logic and yep, Zico is outed as a filfthy stander. Anyone else?

Maybe, but we're just into November. I'm not sure the way we play will only increase the risk of muscle injuries. BDB pushed himself to the limits before doing his back, Murphy, dislocated shoulder, Anderson, stress fracture, Isak looking out of sorts before his injury. Maybe its the lack of depth causing these injuries as much as our tempo but then you have to factor in fatigue being an issue too, all exacerbated by much more games. Gloom said we'd do well if we were lucky with injuries, I think you make your own luck in that regard to an extent. Having said that, Man City have also had some major injuries to contend with so it's not just us and I love our style from a viewer perspective.

It's not luck. It's a function of how we play unfortunately. We are capable of winning a cup but we can't win a league playing the way we do. Look at Man City, they control the game in a way we just don't, they don't need to press so hard, they retain posession, they're at the next level. It's why they always come to the fore in the second half of the season whereas I fear we will drop off through a mix of accumulation of injuries and exhaustion. I'll be over the moon with top 4 like.

PL on the road! Just like the old days. 🎶 Used all our sub options No Burn, Barnes or Botman are due Laid all the yellow cards down There's nothing to lose Don't want tonight to be like last wednesday That's why we’re breaking away Ooh-ooh, breakin' away Got to find a better way Until the good times roll around again Fuck off Dortmund 🎶

An attractive blond cartoon girl wearing a polka dot dress eating a suasage themed sub through her arm pit? Hmmmm. And I thought my life was complete after seeing colonel Gadaffi having an orgasm in a monsoon of sausages against a technicoloured Elmer themed pathwork backdrop. You live and learn.

This is true but honestly man Bruno's efforts were mere niggles compared with the potentially career ending challenge of Havertz, which was efinitely pre-meditated and also possibly planned and sanctioned by lego head himself imo. That foul was by far the worst thing to happen on the pitch on Saturday.

The cunt can't even use contactless.
