Are inter cloggers ? Think they will park the bus as italian sides do and rely on edin getting up and heading it , should be able to contain him with ruby and whoever , nathan has a leap on him, manu not so much . Could do with john actually being in his position

Is that all crap ? Dont know much about them i must admit

 

[Berts Neck]

Anyone got silly superstitions for matches , or ideas on how we could sway this by mental thought ?? A mate on route to Wembley always had to see a crane for some strange reason and we all had to wear the same jackets,shoes etc..Nothing red obviously.

I was thinking about singing about Deyna at full volume, given the ref (Polish)..surely bring a tear to his eye..Deyna used to go to the Polish Club close to Maine Road. Some of you do know it.

Am waiting on Inter Me Nan's verdict too for obvious reasons.

Guys, Inter has got quite a decent squad. And it seems that they put everything on CL this year. They are in their best shape in this final part of the season. Some good names there.

Also, don’t want to be superstitious but they have Croatian in the squad and the team with Croatian in the squad take the CL trophy for a last 10 years. Add Calhanoglu who is Turkey national team player (one of the best) which means that neutral Turkish fans might be supporting Inter at the stadium. Yes, you have Gundo, Turk ethnically, however, he is German and plays for Germany. So things might get bit complicated.

Anyway, I think, its time to play with heart more than with brain, beauty will be in simplicity. Please, don’t let Guardiola overthink it.

Well, all football fans can get superstitious at certain points :) It was not exactly about Croatian who might complicate stuff as per my post, it was more about underestimating Inter itself and level of support they may get in Turkey but you know better, of course :)
