If we reach the semi finals and play Bodø those games will be in May. It's not THAT cold that time of the year. They play on astro turf though and considering that was enough of an excuse for us not beating a semi professional Tamworth after 90 minutes, that would certainly be an issue.

Not that I think we will get past Frankfurt anyway.

Cold Thursday night on Astroturf against a bunch of big Viking bastards kicking us every 5 minutes… we all know how that ends,

And that's exactly what I mean, Richard.

What names! I don't care if things aren't going well in the league right now!
What names - good players (Udogie, an animal!, Son, you can't leave him alone, and so on)!

The ones I single out at Eintracht Frankfurt (although I only ever look at the team as a whole) are Santos in goal, Theate (the animal) in defense, Kristensen (the monster) in defense or on the right wing, Götze (the older the better?), and Ekitiké (when he sees his teammates and doesn't want to shine with his heel in unnecessary situations).

2-1 Spurs

On Paper it’s not even close mate. You are right there, Spurs are heavy favourites based on starting 11 and squad,

But Frankfurt have weapons.

I’ve watched Frankfurt twice now and like you says Theate is a PL level player for sure. Larsson is definitely a PL player I just can’t tell if he’s Brentford or Man City level. Ekitike is going to the very top of football imo. Could see him being the succession plan for Kane at Bayern. Gotze I’m not sure what you make of tbh… my head says the pace we play will bypass him but he’s got that class that you never know what he might do on a European night.
 
For me the only question is , do we have enough natural talent, nous and ambition in the squad to win despite the best efforts of the worst manager I've ever seen to fuck up our chances ?

I've watched about 10 Frankfurt games we cannot underestimate them - I'm seeing people say 'bu bu they're not Bayern Munich' what does that even mean? we aren't playing Bayern. Whether you think the Bundesliga is a 'farmers leauge' or not Frankfurt are no joke 3rd in their league. They also have way better form than we do & play, in my opinion, with more intensity & cohesion than Spurs.

But hey I've seen stranger things happen & this IS football & you don't play football with paper also past games are the past but hey I hope we win! I don't even care how we play even if we scumbag something I'll be there to appreciate it.

Yeah but there is a massive gap between them, bayern and Leverkusen in the bundesliga. I'm pretty confident we can win Thursday. Hopefully enough damage can be done to them before we go to Germany. Think we will go through.

Richard Arlison Richard Arlison see what I mean...

Hamps you mentioned two teams we aren't even playing & we have to put that league into context. I'm not trying to be condescending how many matches have you seen Frankfurt play? this isn't Frankfurt vs Leverkusen or Bayern it's vs Spurs mah dude.

I'm glad you have confidence I do not after seeing them play for nearly a whole season. I want us to win but I cannot predict that.
