For the first time ever at where I work - the menu was "Greek Chicken and pitta bread" . I am sure it is a sign.
So, I managed to stuff a greek for lunch...now over to the Albion tonight.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Is it even on the live audio commentary tonight?

 

[Mellotron]

Thanks chaps

Yes.

Feckers wouldn’t let me use it now though.

2 1/2 hours apparently. Usually they don’t give a duck.

Might as well set off walking...

So PUMPED!

I hope that the occasion doesn't overwhelm us. I think we're a better footballing side but AEK have much more experience. Still a first home game vs a half decent European side is a perfect start.

I think the Man Utd win will give us the extra bit of confidence to get a result.

"I hope that the occasion doesn't overwhelm us."...yes, this is my fear...hope it's unfounded

Start well and we'll be fine. Goal in the first 20 minutes please.

Minutes? Seconds!

Ah but if it's a goalkeeping error I can see us getting over-complacent.

I've always been told to beware Greeks bearing gifts

Very heavy rain in Crawley, forecast is atrocious for Brighton later. Having driven down to Sussex from Bristol yesterday evening through very heavy storms the whole way - is there a risk of this having to be abandoned? I’m sure the pitch drainage can deal with some amount of rain, but how much would need to be coming in for it to become a problem?

Need to watch out for the Trojan horse!

 

[Safe.]

Apparently both their best cb and first choice striker are unavailable for this game.

I must admit, i'm not up to date with what all the latest free kick routines are called

One of the joys of being on solid chalk, it drains faster than.....a thing than drains fast! (sorry, lost my train of thought)
