TheDrowningMan starting match threads is fucking brilliant. Like getting through to The Samaritans and having this cunt pick up the phone.

I'm hearing rumours that we might not win the European Cup this season.

 

[Trumo]

One of the oddities about our history in European competition is that, after beating Juventus in the first round of the old Cup-Winners' Cup in 1965/66, we didn't face a single Italian side until we met Roma in the Olimpico in 1984. During that long stretch, the team travelled behind the Iron Curtain to East Germany a number of times. The first of those was to face Dynamo Berlin in the UEFA Cup in November 1972. We claimed a goalless draw at their place before winning the return 3-1 at Anfield. We would go on to win the UEFA Cup that season. I can't find footage of the 0-0 game on Youtube.

 

Chuck Berry topped the charts in November 1972 with 'My Ding-a-Ling'. The lyrics are every bit as dubious as you'd expect. I can't imagine such a song getting released today that's for sure.

 

 

 

 

In normal circumstances, this game would be played in Leipzig in what was once East Germany. Because of Covid restrictions, the game has been switched to the Puskas Arena in Budapest, which replaced the old Nepstadion a couple of years ago. It's a modern stadium that looks a bit like Bayern's Allianz Arena on the inside. 3 tiers all round, and top-class corporate and media facilities.

 

As for the game, who knows what to expect from us anymore. Our form, fitness, fortune and mentality have taken a pummeling this season. I know we are capable of getting a result. I just don't know whether we will. I can only hope we put on a performance and get a result instead of getting caught playing with our ding-a-lings.

Really looking forward to this

This might be a breath of fresh air, who knows.

[dockers_strike]

Not sure this will be a pasting some think it might be. We wont have some shitty PGMOL paid ref or VAR nob in charge of this game.

[Herp McDerp]

Fingers and toes crossed that all those claiming our recent form is significantly influenced by the PGMOLVAR fucknuts are proven right and we batter this lot.

Leaving the country in and of itself might be a big relief to the players.

Very solid at back as well....not gonna end well this

[Freddo]

Quite looking forward to a game where we won't have to tolerate the likes of Taylor, Dean, Mason, Friend, Attwell, Moss etc etc. 

Let's hope for a positive display. We were good for 75 today. There have got to be some positives somewhere. Let's keep going eh.

True , but the Midgetland guy was shit and offered us no protection at all.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

I'm fully expecting Diogo Jota to step out of the shower and announce that the last two months have all been a dream.

I watched the 0-0 Dynamo Berlin game recently and I am sure its on youtube. I think they missed a penalty,or Clem saved it? We have loads of supporters in the former East Berlin due to that tie too. I am friends with a few.
