this is mine - just dropped Stones when I found out they told us he wasn't starting yesterday - if I'd replaced him with Akanji rather than Josko we'd have had a match.

All the crazies will be asleep. I’m trying to find excuses to stay up and watch but bloody hell it’s late.

I am thinking of the overseas fans e.g.Canadians who often stay up late or get up early for matches. If they can do it we can do it. Channel our inner Canadians!! :-)

Kick off time is a bit of a nightmare, already fit for the bed and kick off just under and hour and a half away.

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

I wish Pep wouldn't rotate this much. Especially when, in all likelihood, we will have to win our next game against Juve to avoid Madrid in the next round.

 

[jrb]

In bed with a beer, but not staying up. Up early in the morning.
