Hadn't seen the change in odds. Before the draw I got 14/1 on us. Roma is a very tough draw, so I'm surprised it's now 10/1!

"Are Roma any good?"

One of theres seems to think so!

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

CANT BELIEVE HOW ANGRY I AM AT MYSELF JUST BECAUSE IVE FORGOTTEN HOW TO WRITE 1, 1000, 51, 6 AND 500 IN ROMAN NUMERALS.

IM LIVID

Hmmmmm….

Never had a problem myself detecting Thrushes sneaking up on me in the past – so this bodes well.

THRUSHES? I thought the irritating c*nt has been sacked as their manager a few weeks ago.

 

[patchamalbion]

We saw them after Athens away v Sassoulo - really poor and lucky to win.

Pasta their best…?

We should grab a Pizza the action...

 

[seagullwedgee]

With all the Italian food puns, is there any chance of some Roman numeral wordplay?

I for one would appreciate that.

Group of 40 of us going. Reckon we’ve got an XL ent chance…….

The ticketing is going to be one big kerfarfalle.

That‘s a truly shocking effort. I’m ashamed at myself.

 

[seagullwedgee]

Believe it or not, this will be my 1009th game watching Albion live.

Tough game, I’m just happy we’re in the MIX.

 

[Zeberdi]

Love all the puns

(Personally I struggle with Roman numerals until I get to 159 - Then it just CLIX).

But IM is 999 surely?

edit - I see 999 is actually DCCCCLXXXXVIIII, and that IM has never been used!

Maybe he meant throstles and he’s got the wrong Albion?!

The thing is, the only team we find it virtually impossible to beat in this country is Manchester City. They're not as good as them - but hardly anyone is.

It'll be tough - it bloody should be at this stage of a European competition - but we have no reason to fear anyone.

 

[Dave Fishwick]

bookies say 8/15 Brighton to qualify, 11/8 Roma

almost two-thirds of the time, it works every time

 

[sparkie]

I suspect they are very good.

But we're not bad ourselves to be fair.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

If they get ahead, they'll time waste, con the ref, slow things down every 5 seconds etc. but if we can get ahead it could be a fun tie

 

[HastingsSeagull]

They do seem by the odds posted to be the highest rated of the teams we could have possibly drawn though which suggests we were a bit unlucky

 

[Scoffers]

In such competitions, game management ability can make the difference. We'll need a bit of that to progress, and no daft mistakes, of course!
