It appears more places may be up for grabs from 2024/25, which may have a significant impact on qualifying outside the top 6/7 as it is now. It will be interesting to see how this develops. This applies not only to the Champions League but the other tournaments as well...
We have just taken a top six side apart on their own patch. Yes OK we have some memorable wins in the past, but nothing comes close to this. The Spuds game should have been 4-1 to us, sadly the outcome was, shall we say, decided elsewhere, so today is doubly sweet.
Probably the best away result...
There were shades there. Destroyed by two quailty poachers. Warboys and Bannister live long in my memory. Took a point off them at their promotion party later the same season.
A big consideration though is the possibility of City travelling to Istanbul for the Champions League Final, on the Wednesday after the FA Cup final. This will certainly affect the squad selection and commitment.
Was there for the legendary game between Ireland and Romania that ended in a penalty shootout. It took five hours to walk back from the stadium hitting every bar we came to. Happy Days. In summery friendly, earthy, working City. Decent stop for a night or the ferries.
I was once treated to hospitality at Chelski in the UTB club which was also Roman’s nightclub. Very good it was too. Informal, no dress code, buffet dinner, help yourself. Decent bottled beer, unlimited, guest speaker Kerry Dixon (nice bloke). Aftershow Pizza and wine and souvenir. Enjoyed, wish...
