Full time last week the GLW bemoaned the fact that she couldn’t go tonight because she didn’t have a ticket - she does this every bloody time. Could have gotten one if she tried as she’s a season ticket holder.
So, given last season that I went Bayern home and away, Real at home and Istanbul I took pity on her and gave her mine.
This cost me an extra £7 because, I am in the cup scheme so to transfer made it full price, then car parking £10 - she would have dropped/picked me ordinarily. Some free ticket that was!
So I am watching it at home getting pissed.
She’s got a right gob on her too so I suppose it will add to the noise!

If we bet beat she's banned for 10 years.
 
Yank controlled Talk Sport openly rooting for Real this morning, interview with Bellingham badmouthing us on a loop with no City input. Also promoting Carthorse Kane praising gallant Arsenal - complete with battlecry soundbytes from Arteta. Think that rag fanboy Woozencroft scripts their hourly news parody.

Kyle has to play. We struggled with their left wing (our right) last week.

Right, i've done the morning school run, shopping, big key order for work, fed wife, sorted magic box for her for later, and walked the mutt.
Just a small matter of afternoon school run and dropping kids off before hitting the pub for one or two pre-match stiffeners..

I think if Walker does play then Gvardiol might be the one to miss out, despite his excellent performance last week. Would be a bit harsh, but can't see any of Stones, Dias or Akanji being dropped.

Hmmm, yeah, maybe Akanji will switch to the left. You could be on to something there, be harsh on Gvardiol but needs must.

Imo, after 2 goals in the last two games, one of them crucial in Madrid, Gvardiol is bound to start.

Dias didn't start at Anfield. Hard to tell, but Pep could drop him, provided that Walker is ready and given that Akanji is quicker and Madrid will play mostly on the counter.

If it was me, then I’d leave Dias out, I just don’t think Pep will. It’ll be either Walker or Gvardiol who miss out.

If he's being marked by 1 or 2 though,making space is exactly what he should do. Don't think it's any coincidence how many shots and goals we have recently started making from around the edge of the box,as Haaland pulls players to him. Doesn't matter whether it's Haaland or Gvardiol. Foden, Rodri,Kovacic getting the goals.
Think one of the best games we played was Arsenal last season when Haaland dropped leaving space for KDB to get in behind.

We might have well kept gabby then if making space is good enough , we havent got the best young striker in the world to do that though
 
It's been really fucking hard to concentrate at work today.

Trying my best to wait until I get on the coach to the ground to have my first beer. That's not until 6 though and there's an IPA in the fridge....
