All tickets are nominative Jim I could probably get you one in my wifes name but there would be a problem if they check them at the stadium. unless you are prepared to dress up

I couldnāt watch it eitherā¦ but from what it seems it wasnāt a positive one. Lukebakio out of form on the right side, canāt adapt.
Unless we win every match from now on it will be almost impossible to go through. Weāre ok with 3rd though, so that we can get to EL and win it

But he just played with Belgium on the right side, no? And scored twice!
Did the calculators get the math wrong? I ran the numbers and there are quite a few scenarios where we lose to Arsenal and still go through. Not guaranteed, but itās not a far fetched result, either!
I am hoping for a point v Arsenal and 6 from Lens and PSV and we are through. And even with ā points from Arsenal, itās not that hard to imagine. Letās not start talking UEL until we need to. I think the loss v Lens and the last minute tie v PSV made us all predisposed to think this campaign was a wash, but all the ties have made it far from a wash. We can still make it through to Octavos!

Good excuse to take the partner, Jim! Cheap ticket for her, and you pay for the resale ticket for yourself.

I thought about this tonight after I wrote thatā¦ not sure why itās not working with the club.
As for passing through, if Lens beats PSV and we donāt get anything from Arsenal next match (very realistic), itās practically over. I donāt believe in miracles, especially in CL for us. EL is another story

Still not convinced it needs a miracle, my friend. Hereās that exact scenario: we get nothing next match, Lens beats PSV. All that is needed in that circumstance is for us and Arsenal to both beat Lens and we beat PSV. Like I said, we definitely need those 6 points, but thatās far from a miracle.
Still dreaming of the Sweet Sixteen.

The club probably want to be be in the Europa league. Itās been our route for a while now.
We have more chance in there and another way to try qualify for Europe if we canāt through the league.

Poppycock!
Thereās no way that is a smart economic move. The returns just donāt add up, and the likelihood of qualifying through winning UEL are just way too remote to be better than getting the extra $$ through Champions wins.

Winning the Europa League is great and itās obviously a competition that means a lot to us.
However, I kind of feel weāve been there and done that and any serious team wants to be competing in the Champions League and progressing as far as possible. Fans in general look at the Europa League with indifference and view our achievements as not being as incredible or as big a deal as we may see them. In fact we turn into a bit of a running joke for being Europa League experts but useless in the Champions League and thatās not really wrong is it.
Iād rather get beyond the group stages for a change even if we donāt finish in the European places in the league this season.
