Real Madrid (A) - Tue 9th May, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

This is when I understand, among few other factors, players wages. I am shit stressed at home now, and for about 20 minutes I would mentally explode;D I mean, pressure is so so massive, that even the most experienced do not have it very easy.

If we sustain our recent form I am sure we are better and in the worst case scenario it will be a close result. At best, man, one can dream... battering Real Madrid in full confidence is always eternal.

At this level, save players like Haaland and KDB, players are generally at similar levels when it comes to fitness, physique, talent, and technical ability.

What sets the good players and truly great players apart is their mentality and work ethic.

Work ethic can be improved with enough effort, but mentality is often something that can only change over a long time (so is very difficult improve during a player’s senior career).

That means much of the “value” of the world class players sits in the 6 inches between their ears.

And we’ve assembled a squad full of players with elite mentalities.

I keep thinking of playing the U12's for the FA cup because I don't want to risk them injuring our players if we have a game left.

They've to get close to us to manage that.

Should I have pre match wank to settle the nerves or a post match wank to celebrate. It's never easy

Both, unless you are a FOC & then its just do it between now and Christmas

Lescott’s weekly mention of ‘Sir Alex’.

I avoid BT's coverage like the plague. Utterly dreadful.

Edit.......the utterly pointless and totally accommodating Lescott has been drafted in again.

Yeah definitely…
