Marseille (H) - CL | Pre-Match Thread

The team will probably be close to what we played against Porto. Mad if Laporte doesn't start again, though. Personally i'd like to see Laporte at left back against United, for that extra stability.

3 centre backs maybe

Pick your team for the rags and then use the rest of the squad to play on Wednesday.

We've conceded 0 goals in our last 4 games and you want 'extra stability' against a side that got beat by Istanbul Bastarddakishire?

Ey up! I'll av thee know that that there Bastarddakishire are reet good.

Hi @TINY see you in the room in a bit!

The fact that Pep made no subs on Saturday tells you all you need to know: there will be 11 changes for this game.

There is only one rule. Those that include Delap in the line up are banned for six months

Liam Delap is an anagram of IM APALLED which is how I feel everytime his name appears on a teamsheet for a competition that he can't play in.
Guaranteed after Xmas he might be in the champions league squad and not one poster will choose him.
If Garcia has moved on by then you'll probably still get posters picking our Eric as a centre half whilst he's sunning himself in sunnier climes.

Boo! Not fair!!
I found the Delap shenanigans quite amusing!! :-)

Ive seen some suggestions elsewhere that us putting out the kids would be unfair on Olympiakos’ chance of Europa League qualification and would ‘damage the integrity of UEFA competitions’
The same UEFA whose G14 establishment goons and Hateful Eight placemen tried to destroy our club. Fuck them and fuck UEFA

By qualifying already we have earns the right to play whatever team we want. Maybe Olympiakos should have picked points elsewhere and then nobody could moan.

We as fans want to see us win all games but Wednesday‘s game is all about coming through the 90mins with no injuries with Saturday in mind ...
