We score early on. Hope builds. We push and push and come closer and closer to a 2nd. They score. I'm home in bed at 9pm.

Very true. I think on the balance of everything I'd just be upfront about it, and head it off by saying "I do hope that if this process goes well, that it isn't going to affect my negotiating position when if/ when the time comes".

I'd be up for dabbling with this witchcraft to try and influence the result tonight. Seems to be our best option.

As an MD of a recruitment company, my advice would be that you have two options: Come clean and give them the full facts, or commit to the lie but be prepared to get caught out. Coming clean definitely lowers your negotiation power a bit, but it shows you are trustworthy. Depending on the...

I prefer the English way as well. The problem with English grounds is that they are only ever like the examples you mention above once or twice a season, where as European clubs seem to be able to get up for it every week. For Roma and Marseille to have atmospheres like that against an unknown...

Sorry, but that is a complete load of nonsense. The new big 6 will not have huge global fans bases and thousands of tourists wanting to come to every game. They will be exactly the same as the next biggest 6 are now.

To them we are just English fans that rampaged across Europe in the 80’s and 90’s. Some of the comments on here saying we should have been treated differently are as we are a nice, friendly club have been incredibly naive. They are not going to differentiate between English clubs or the English...

Did they? I didn’t know that.

Agreed. If we went in to the break 2-0 up the Amex would be absolutely rocking. Anything could happen then.

Yes the last thing we need is a 50p fine.

Go into HT 2-0 up. That has to be the instructions. Get that done and we’ll work out what to do next at HT. (Do the same again). It’s so frustrating we couldn’t have just held it it even to 3-0. That would feel very tough, but an early goal would have us right in it. I still don’t understand...

Seems quite odd they can’t be trusted with alcohol but can be trusted getting the train. I’d be amazed if there aren’t some issues in town on Thursday. It’s the first European team coming to town that we have any ‘beef’ with.

Few months after that - Judas scumbag quintupling his wages after everything we did for him

People keep saying how we didn't replace Caicedo, but we did. We spent €30 million on Baleba, a player who only had 20 or so league appearances at the time. That's an absolutely massive investment in my view. Unsurprisingly, he wasn't ready to slot straight in, but it's looking more and more...

Which is why our own club banned people for doing it. What's your point?

"But please no binfestry." Did anybody else read this and think how could that possibly happen on this thread? But no, there's always someone.

Absolute cast iron red.

Absolute wankers. Glad you’re both OK mate, sounds horrible. Assume you, Canal Man and Mopman will now be doing some kind of world tour. Or at least after dinner speaking at £50K a pop.

What actually happened to you both? I’ve only read media reports and your original post. Was it definitely Roma fans? Or more of a robbery than a football thing? Did they target you two specifically, do you think?

Indeed. Absolute nonsense was it easy. As evidenced by Marseille battering Villarreal last night.
