Sparta Praha (H) - Wed 23rd Oct, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

We need an international break!

Only 6 more games until the next one!

 

[Eccles Blue]

Just noticed that the Middlesbrough vs Sheffield United game is on. I'll probably watch that game tonight.

Does that mean it is all right for me to SHOUT then? If you aren't watching our match. ;-) :-)

Nah, with our luck we'd lose three more players to injury in friendlies they shouldn't be touching with a ten foot pole

 

[phargrave]

At least all 3 keepers are available.

Get Eddie in midfield then….

 

[chesterbells]

At least he's getting a proper chance. He takes it or not, but you can't really judge a player who doesn't get a full ninety minutes, in my view.

I’m not sure he’ll get that long!

Who is this strange woman on TNT? She is like a fizzing bottle of lemonade with no substance just noise. :-)

So bad that I had to turn it over to the One Show!

Still only the middles of the injury table to be fair apart from 3 or 4 team 5-8 is the range of injured players.

That table can be misguiding.

The drop off in quality when we get a key injury isn't the same as someone like Chaudaray for Leicester or Garner for Everton gets injured.

Just got into the stadium. There’s a small but noisy section of visiting fans just to my left.

As for our starting eleven, our midfield looks a bit thin. How are we getting so many injuries. When did Grealish and Doku manage to get injured?

There's the positivity of the pre match/match day thread we all know and love :)

SNAP!!

 

[Blue Til Death]

I’m in 324 CB so many Sparta in here showing their colours it’s a joke..
Hopefully they will have a Birds Eye view of a serious cunting by City :-)

 

[freshie]

SNAP!!

Can’t stand the pre-match nonsense on TNT. Shan’t be putting the footy back on until Kick off

 

[Blu1]

I’m surprised Gundy playing again thought he needed a rest

 

[Blue Maverick]

Get Eddie in midfield then….

You are Stuart Pearce and I claim my £5

 

[Fordyboy46]

I’m surprised Gundy playing again thought he needed a rest

He'll be playing every match now at this rate

Hopefully illness/niggle over injury as neither looked like they had any issues on Sunday.

 

[blueparrot]

Oh well, that's alright then

It’s normal, we’ll be fine so yes.

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

Anyone else cant get hyped for this bullshit league ? Just extra games vs Dross

 

[MCFC1993]

Long day, tough slog to to get here tonight, hopefully well worth it.

Look, I most emphatically am not scaremongering, but there's a rumour on this side of the water that there's a new strain of covid in the offing. I myself have been pushed to get a jab (not sure if I will, for the time being). Not that you'd expect people of Jack and Jérémy's age to get anything. Any such news on the UK side of the Channel?
