It's a little known fact but "Zinchenko Unavailablov" is Ukrainian for Dave Whelan's leg.

I've had a lot of beer but really laughed at this

I see @TINY has us down for a loss again.

Think about 4 hours if you fly direct, or 3.5 to Kiev and then a further hour on from there (no idea if the squad are basing themselves in Kiev or Kharkiv tbh)

Cheers I suppose that’s not to bad not like we are flying to say Australia and back,still hope we don’t see to many first team players though..

The flight for the team yesterday was 3 hours 20 minutes to Kharkiv.

Should be a 4th option in the poll - win,lose, draw or play a load of reserves and rest players to beat the scum on Sunday

The flight for the team yesterday was 3 hours 20 minutes to Kharkiv.

And I'm sure they had plenty of leg-room. Shouldn't be any issues, really.

On an unrelated topic, what do you have to feed a dog to get white dog poo?

Should absolutely be resting anyone starting on Sunday for this game. Anyone preoccupied with maintaining the winning streak might also consider that putting out players who want to prove themselves ahead of players more concerned about saving themselves for the derby, could actually be a better tactic.

Need a result on Sunday 9/5 shaktar on bet 365 so wish I knew what sort of team we are going to play so we could make some blues happy with a nice return with a defeat and concentrate on Sunday
