These are always interesting; as some players are adamant that we should play our strongest eleven, where in reality the truth is we will probably make eleven changes.
You’d imagine Steele would come back in, or maybe McGill will be given a chance as the cup keeper this year with Bart and Jason...
Watching on Premier Hub 5 - no atmosphere whatsoever from the Albion fans. Appreciate we are playing against tinpot and it’s a category C game so cheaper tickets and probably a few who don’t normally go but had the chance to get a ticket today but it’s coming across on the streams as eerily quiet
There’s a few flights leaving Marseille around 11pm. Did look into this myself but worked out it’s not really logical.
Will be kept in the ground for a minimum of 30 mins after final whistle, then from the centre of Marseille, depending on the time we get dropped back on the police escorted...
My flight doesn’t land into Marseille until 21:15 weds night. Plan is to get the last train from near the airport to St Charles at 2150ish so won’t be at the hotel until 2230 earliest.
Lamptey rated too highly there overall. First-half he got a few shouts and bollockings off our players for being out of position and not closing down. Second-half was much much better after words from RDZ at half-time
That’s the one - doesn’t seem to be many booked on that flight at the moment looking at the choose seat selection planner - fly back to Manchester via Brussels on Fri morning
As thought, we will be held back in the stadium for 30 mins or more after full-time, good job I didn’t book the 11pm return flight from Marseille, instead I’m going to fly back via Brussels on Friday morning.
Flights there and back have cost only £52 combined, hotel near the train station is...
Debating whether the 23:10 flight back from Marseille to Manchester on the Thursday is at all possible.
French are an hour ahead so kick-off is 1830, earliest potentially leave the ground would be 20:30 but imagine away fans held back so could be 21:00 out the stadium, then it would be making...
The answer here is confirming. It clearly isn’t a "lie". I’ve not mentioned anything about the noise from the Albion fans, just merely stating the fact that the audio on the tv coverage you could hear Newcastle pretty much throughout the whole match, which goes against the grain of this thread...
