[Albion] Are we in Monday's draw?

[Neville's Breakfast]

I wouldn’t trust TNT. On the highlight show Hargreaves said it was our first time back in Europe for 20 years…

When did we last go to Le Havre though ? I’m being a bit generous to the boy there.

Think he got us and Newcastle mixed up. And in fairness, I couldn’t tell you whether Alberta is fundamentally different to Newfoundland or not.

I've been catching up with some clips this morning and it seems that the Pedro on-pitch interview and the one with RDZ was done by the same numpty. Never seen him before but he's not very good. Like you said, kept asking about Monday's draw, which we're not in, and imagine asking an Italian with a basic grasp of English "to quantify" how he's feeling.

It was *really* cringy

It's incredible TNT didn't realise this. They actually asked Pedro 'are you looking forward to Monday's draw?' and De Zerbi 'who do you want to get in the draw on Monday?'. Also mentioned it in the studio!

This is what happens when you employ self-styled 'media personalities' rather than journalists. I think the question was actually along the lines of 'how excited are you about Monday's draw?'. To which, of course, the answer should have been 'not excited at all as we're not in it, which was kind of the point of the entire bloody evening!".

Still, TNT got some more hits on Insta or something.

Is there any reason why the draw couldn't just be brighton will play the winner of blah vs blah?

Yes - The winners of blah v blah could be from the same association as blah, making the entire draw null and blah.

Maybe there's a good reason but it is frustrating. Would be much better for the fans.

Good point. They draw the quarter-final and semi-final simultaneously but that issue disappears by them.

TNT are pretty useless apart from the gorgeous and intelligent, Seagulls supporting Jules.

Ahh of course.

 

[Stat Brother]

Dunno why everyone is getting so titsy about this.

By the time we get to March we all would have forgotten we're even in the bloody competition.

The interviewer ironically is one of the individuals involved with the spat with Barton regarding credibility

TNT also have Adam Virgo, Jules Breach and Stuart Sidwell as analysts and presenters who are all highly knowledgeable about the Albion.

It Stuart any relation to Steve?

Different provinces

Why do they that? Takes the excitement out of it.

Logistics I imagine. There’s only a fortnight between the second leg of the quarterfinals and the first leg of the semis. A lot to organise. Personally, I think it’s much better for the fans too as you can get flexible hotel and flight bookings sorted, then bin them if not needed.

Really? That’s annoying as I think Barton is a total whopper. I’m sure it’s not an easy job but this bloke sounded like a competition winner.

Didn’t we go to Le Havre?
