Maribor(a)- 17/10/17 Champions League Match Thread

[VladimirIlyich]

I am, Milner > Henderson I'm afraid, a lot more solid, we're missing a trick here as we leak goals against better sides than Maribor. He's the closest player we've got to a genuine defensive midfielder with better distribution.

It was Maribor. Very hard to judge a players potential in the PL compared to a performance against these.

Milner played very well but has never looked comfortable playing CM in the PL.

Why are Spartak top of our group when we have a better goal difference and have scored more.

 

What new shitness of modern footy rule is this down to then?

Found it...what a pile of fucking shite.

 

"Standings are provisional until all group matches have been played.

If two or more clubs are level on points, alphabetical order is applied based on full club names until teams have played each other twice, at which point the competition regulations are applied."

[Faustus]

Where's that, an tha? Sky have us down as top, as did BT last night.

[Baltar]

Sooner or later someone was going to get a hiding given all the chances we create and miss. Hopefully we can keep this up and start hammering teams with regularity.

[SammyAftershave]

Just had a row with my missus. It was supposed to be my turn to do the school run today but I’m absolutely fucked and not fit to drive because I’ve been up all night watching hacky sack videos.

 

That's a fantastic sounding euphemism. Is it French?

This will be the game you fast forward when your watching the DVD you just bought in late May next year which we have released after winning the Champion League  

 

Ok, I was wrong.

 

This game will have its own DVD.

It's a new form of punishment for fans who never stop moaning.

Anyone have a link to some decent highlights please?

 

Thanks.

Yeah, here's our 7-0 win over Spurs in 1978

 

[Jockey]

Haha - the keeper with no gloves on! 

 

Was it his turn in goal?

Thanks.

Kodi addon called Football Replays. I watched the full match on it last night when I got in after avoiding the result beforehand.

[Barnesey]

L comes before S or M; am I missing something in "full names? FC before or after team name?

Repped for still finding something to whinge about.

It's that type of never-say-die-attitude you have to admire in a supporter.

Our players could learn a thing or two from an tha.

[lifetime fan]

Really don’t want to piss on any chips or try and be a miserable cunt after we actually scored some of the shitloads of goals we should have recently.

 

But...

 

I can’t be the only one who thought that game will be mentioned in a match fixing scandal in 5 years time.

The air was sucked right out of the balloon this morning when (taking the piss) i said 'top of the group' to someone who had been gloating about our inability to win up to last night in the comp.

 

A screenshot with 'oh aye - top of the group' via e-mail gave me reason to 'whinge' (well show some mock indignation at least)

We won.

[cloggypop]
