Sevilla (H) - Wed 2nd Nov, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

Starting with 10. Were taking the piss.

:)

2 keepers on the bench so no room for Borges. Maddening

Mahrez on the pitch and no room for Borges.

Even more maddening.

One of those "hen's teeth" (rare as) games where I don't give a fuck about the result. More important that some of the fringe lads put in decent performances, and give Fraudi Pep viable options in future games.

I think I am looking forward to this more than other CL matches we have played because the reserves are playing.

Me too, but I can do that with a glass of wine and a nice sofa to lie on.

Decided earlier in the week that I wasn't adding £60 fuel, and £30 food and drink to the price of my ticket, and losing 14(+) hours of my life.

Hate to say i told you so

Told me what??
Lewis, Gomez and Palmer all starting. Laporte still needs minutes. Ortega starts.
I'm assuming Mahrez, Grealish and Alvarez are there to work on their playing together - they'll be changed at an appropriate point 45/60 minutes at most
Game is still meaningless

Bono in goal for the opposition. They are hoping that gives them the edge...

We should have borrowed Adam Clayton back for the evening ;-)

Fills me with pride :-)

Is he better than the real thing?

Nah, that'd have been mission impossible.

It's been a disaster flying out of Cork so getting into Manchester Airport at 7pm. Any idea if there are train delays 'cos hoping that's quicker than a taxi?

Hope you get to watch it after that journey.
