Real Madrid (H) Pre-Match Thread

[jimmygrimblesboots]

With Grey it was a two off to the best of my knowledge, the Liverpool game and I remember a dodgy one at spurs, I think. Walton was every time

To be fair we get screwed by the referee every time we go to Klanfield , its just that Grey was by far the most blatant.

 

[Wizpopblue]

I seriously don't think that we will be allowed to win this game. The only reason I think this, is that this is the only way that UEFA can get their revenge for their humiliating defeat at CAS. SO let's make sure that Real Madrid win this tie and go through.

Is their anyone who thinks the same thing.

No.......

The minimum BT Sport could do is employ a commentator who will get behind the last of UK's realistic represenatatives in the Champs league

why do the minimum when you can do the mcminimum?

It was at Maine Road mate

When do we know the ref who is appointed for this match?

No news yet on the Champions League refs, maybe later today?. Strangely the Europa league officials have already been named, United have the Greek team

Pep will be cautious as he can be , expect Rodri and Gundogan to start the game keeping possession as usual will be the priority , if it is 0-0 at half time i would expect Zidane to go for it in the 2nd half which will suit us down to the ground , ive gone 0-0 half time and 3-0 full time , but my bookie was smiling when he took the bet

Well I hope you don't smile when you pick your winnings up,mate..

What odds for 3-0 did they give you
12s-18s

 

[jimharri]

Ha. I spent two minutes trying to work out which game was dramatic in 2005 until I realised you were being literal.

Glad you’re recovered mate.

Cheers SWP. I was indeed being literal.

Because if any team starts at effectively 2-0 down, they have to play in a way that makes them a lot more vulnerable.

You're acting like we playing a team that hasn't been 2-1 down before and doesnt have the nouse to get back into the tie. I admire your extreme confidence but its a European tie against one of the best teams in the world. I expect it to be a nervy night thats for sure. It could go either way but at least we have an advantage.

 

[Norbiton]

but its a 1/4 final against one of the best teams in the world.

Actually it isn't!

 

[its a Barm]

The way I see this game is we don't just have to win but we have to smash them and scare the shit out of everyone left in the competition

Ha ha it wasn't a big secret I just saw his PM before his post on here.
Edinburgh is pretty busy just now and most places in city centre do not show football unless you go to a sports bar. Basically anywhere you go you will have to book.
Good places for sport are 3 sisters. Platform 5 and Pear Tree
Might depend what area your staying in ....

Let me know if you need more info

Do we have anyone 1 yellow away from being banned ?

Bazunu promoted to third keeper at 18 after Carson’s loan ended. Wonder if we’ll be after another veteran for the Richard Wright position?

 

[mccity]

Good news is Aguero can't be too far off if he's in the squad.

0-0 half time 3-0 full time 20's, not the best , but its only a tenner , last of the big spenders

have to stop drinking so early , remember Reeves having a perfectly good goal disallowed , but i stand by the statement we always get screwed by refs against the Dippers

Despite restrictions surrounding the coronavirus pandemic, Real Madrid will fly into Manchester 24 hours before kick-off and train at the Etihad Stadium on Thursday evening. [
