CL draw - Basel

[Dax777]

if we get a good draw ill really start to believe the football gods have changed sides

You were saying :)

 

[Dax777]

Still a conspiracy then lads? Bayern or Barca only yeah?

Lol

Arsenal could be replaced with the league cup final

I have a feeling we'll not get past the semi-finals in that competition. Pep will continue putting out teams with 4 kids in and the reserves and just let them get as far as they do.

Should both ourselves and United progress to the Quarters (no guarantees), and draw each other, we could play each other 3 times in 6/8 days.

Obviously I enjoy positive results against 'them' but I don't enjoy the game or build up. I'm not sure how I would deal with the stress levels if it were prolonged for an entire week.

We're like this -

LEICESTER (H)
BASEL (A)
ARSENAL (A)
CHELSEA (H)
BASEL (H)
STOKE (A)

We have Leicester and Stoke as cushions. We can have players play 2 games in a week, Chelsea and Spurs will need to have their first XI play 3 times in the same week at least once.

Rotate for Leicester then try and win the tie in the away leg and get a strong team out for Arsenal and Chelsea then rotate for home leg and stoke.

We will drop points but the beauty is we now can where others cannot.

All Booked, now do i take my skis?

We have a tough set of games around Basel games. Fingers crossed we have all our big guns fit and firing. We have strength in depth and there’s no reason why we can’t win at their place.

We are in a position where we can prioritise now

What flights have you sorted mate?

 

[HenryNacho]

Would have preferred Sevilla or Porto but considering who we could've gotten I can't complain.

 

[urban genie]

Thats nice of them

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

they seem to think they might be able to score when they have the ball from kick-off, other than that...lol.

No, it's not just algorithms.
ALL easyJet flights go up to exactly £348 return for both weeks minutes after the draw.
Even BA did it.
Their Heathrow flights went from £71 return to £276 return.
All of them, all at the same time.
The algorithms will kick in again after xmas, and the flights will return to wherever they need to be, but this is just plain &simple profiteering.

Surprised how these went up for this trip - normally the London flights don’t go up but everything went up also Air Miles flights disappeared for both weeks. Be interesting to see what they go back to in Jan

Well bugger me!

I didn't expect Basel.

I might have to go & show my arse in Burton's window.

You might get your wish from the first sentence if you live out the actions of the last sentence

It's a good draw. The only question is who we will get in the next round (if we do progress)?
