Not aimed at you at all Falky, but who gives a fuck?!

The longer we're in this competition, the more damage it does to our chances in domestic competitions (yeah, I know, what fucking chances?) and there's less than no chance of us winning this.

All that said, I'll no doubt be stupid enough to watch it. Talk about self harm.

It has become an even more boring competition Retro 8 fucking group games..all you really need is 9-10 pts to get through in the top 24 but Beegee doo has played strong teams all the way through..Aiming for top 8 but at the detriment of the cups we can win I don't give a fuck about it,Everton next week more important.That being said I'll be sat watching on weds no doubt like the silly fucker that i am

What are the chances we bust a gut and come 9th and play someone like PSG again in the qualifier and get knocked out.

PSG are in the elimination positions (25th) atm, so that looks very unlikely

This overly bloated nonsense is what kept wanker in a job far longer than he deserved to be. We all know how the CL ends for us, Anyone with a mild pedigree in Europe will knock us out.

[IW8Goalmachine]

I like this new system.

It's a knock out tournament after the league and clubs will pretty much know who they will face all the way.

Does that mean he has learnt how to Invert?... Just hope his balsa wood knee holds out

Polystyrene knee is what I heard.

[Midz]

Was he this injury prone when he was at Celtic? If so, why did we buy him?

He's a great young lad but his injury record is atrocious.

[TeeCee]

Evidently, Tierney passed on details of his exercise regime to Slugchenko......

Looks like we could have just Saliba available from our normal 'pool' of defenders. We could see Rice at CB, Tierney at LB and Josh Nichols at RB?

Had several ST holders reach out to me to ask if I fancy going tonight - suspect a combination of the weather, the patched up team and of course the bloated 5 month long borefest format of the competition. I thought it would be difficult to find a more boring format than the previous one, but special congratulations to UEFA for somehow managing it. The official line was seeing more of the big clubs play each other but for every Liverpool v Real Madrid, there's a dozen more absolute snoozefests cluttering up the calendar. Look at tonight's list and tell me how fucking excited you are about Lille v Sturm Graz, Benfica v Bologna, Feyenoord v Sparta Prague and Stuttgart v Young Boys......zzzzzzz.......zzzzzzzz

Anyway, I probably will go tonight just to keep my toe in the water and catch up with some old pals

In terms of the team - do we have any defenders left to play? Having cast Tierney aside for the past 2 years, he's now speaking about him warmly and praising his attitude, which is sure as hell his code for saying he'll play. What a come down that must be for him, as its 100% clear that he doesn't fancy him one bit and in his time has chosen Shitchenko and even the likes of Nuno Tavares ahead of him. English Dekkers at centre half perhaps? Permacrocks Tomiyasu and White - will they be seen again one day? In the case of the former hopefully not - fuck me this 'squad clutterer' should have been top of the pile to blow out months ago. He's shit and never ever fit

Lets hope we do enough to come top 8 of this horrible league thing - another bloody 'play off' two legged match before we get anywhere near the interesting part isn't welcomed at all

I don't know anything about Monaco as French football is almost as boring as the CL, but they've obviously picked up some half decent results in this snoozefest this season, so we won't get away with a low key performance or playing stiffs. Pray for the win to curtail the league format boredom!

[OneBardGooner]

Prefer a Win... But the most important that we don't get anymore fuckin' Injuries.
