Just like every other team left in the competition.

Yes of course they are different, but tbh even allowing for the 60k, given we had a blank sheet of paper, the food and drink served, and in particular the service, is fucking terrible. Piss poor. Why didn't we get it right. Baldy could even have made more money! Food and drink in the boxes is fine FWIW.
Yes I think it was the Chavs where we played Sonny at LB where he looked decidedly uncomfortable!
Crazy
I remember justifying the decision to play Son there before the game with my mates.” Sonny will pin back Chelsea’s wide players as he’s so dangerous,” then about 10 minutes in he gave away a penalty. Really disastrous decision by Poch to play him there.
We've been here before, when we complain about teams sitting deep and saying that an attacking team will give us chances.
And then we play a Newcastle, or a Fulham, or a Liverpool and they score for fun.
From the guy who's basically the most obnoxious & nastiest person ever on TFC...but you'd shit yourself in front of any of us in person. You make Dudu sound like a nice humble guy. The day you actually wanna talk football instead of just coming on here to slap people off for their opinions, gimme a holla.
At the moment due to the state of the ties, bookies have us 2nd favs because we're not 100% through whilst Utd pretty much are.
We've been favs for this competition all season.
Their seasons are not aligned.
Their European season started in the 2024 season and that is purely 2024.
At home, in this European season (once knocked down from the CL qualifiers into the Europa) they've won at home to Porto (3-2) Besiktas (2-1) and lost at home to Quarabag (1-2) in the league phase....
The knockout phase kicked after their 2024 campaign ended - 5-2 vs Twente, 3-0 Vs Olympiacos, 2-0 Vs Lazio, so all 3 by 2+ goals.
Against half decent teams.
We shouldn't take them lightly or assume 3-1 is job done.
Not just European refs who pay that penalty.
Has everyone completely forgotten the penalty against Southampton that led to the Conte meltdown?
It's a ridiculous penalty but it's paidall the time.
Jaynola and his fictitious Swiss ref mate are talking absolute bollocks
We conceded one those pens on opening day v Brentford last season too.
Wind your neck in.Not just European refs who pay that penalty.

I'm 50yo, got a house by the FR/CH border, do lots of work with Swiss people & firms and I'm an ex player & coach, so yeah my fault for having certain acquaintances. And obviously I got nothing better to do than make shit up. You hear yourself?
End of the day, I'm entitled to my opinion, no matter how shit you think it is. Sorry for thinking that was the point of TFC.
Deuterz
See you at the Emirates. Forgot that soon as we dare criticise Spurs, that makes us Gooners
I'm aware the seasons aren't aligned, but fair enough - I somehow forgot the Olympiacos score.
I'm not taking it lightly or assuming it's job done. What I'm stating is that we should be considered clear favourites at the current scoreline - and the bookies would agree.
What I told my mates before the match, and what I'd stand by, is that 3 goal lead probably hands us the tie, 2 goal lead makes us favourites and 1 goal would make it 50/50.
My original post was more of a joke about how only we could screw this up.
Correct. It’s a cup tie in a knockout stage of a european contest, a semi final even. We of all of clubs should know that there is nothing of any sorts of «easy» at this stage. Their goal last night proved that. Take it seriously though and we have a good chance of going through.
yep
difference being the Premier league is an elite league where everyone can beat anyone. This competition is way below and this team will be susceptible to counter attacks - I just think we will be ok and get through
Clown, have you watched a game this year. Shaming every manager that has gone through this club just makes you look sillier. Clearly there has been problems beyond the mangers that have come here.Shit, so it wasn't sarcasm? You were serious.
I guess we have to get Robbie to start singing I'm Loving 'AngeCont Ball Instead', again. Nowdays (Incase you also one of the school teacher types. It is an intentional slang word used where I come from), he'll have to add a few word to his lyrics (Please sing for effect)
"And through it all,
He started copying Conté;
Mourinho and Old Nuno;
Just to win a Game.
And through it all,
Mate, he learnt to counter;
You don't need 11 Strikers,
It helps to have defense;
We hoof the ball,
At Every sign of trouble;
No longer do we dribble,
We clear our lines instead
I Love AngeCont Ball Instead....
(Repeat as necessary, until you understand.)
I don't think the flight operators are are confident as some of our fans as their prices haven't changed much.
I mean, Galatasaray should have had 7 or 8.
They had 28 shots, 10 on target. How it wasn't an absolute massacre is beyond mind blowing but it wasn't because of our defending or Ange's coaching.
Crucial for us not to concede early like the first 30 minutes otherwise it could be 4/5 -0 as we wet the bed and he stares at his shoes!
Probably more to do with the starting XI
You'd have thought that demand from Man U fans in the South East would have been enough.
