Would defo take a point in this one. Tbh though Dortmund weren't great at ours and we'll be going there with very little pressure whereas after being battered by Bayern their fans are going to expect a response... If we c an fustrate them early I'm hoping we can sneak 3 points.

Weirdly I think we have a chance in this one. Last push before a four day rest, and then B'mth before Intl break. Honestly feel we're going to surprise people again tomorrow night - the Arsenal performance was a big one, for me, in terms of confidence and proving we can mix it with big teams.

If we lose, the group's more or less done and all will rest on us beating Milan at home to get into the EL - but we've got next to no chance of winning that comp either! Would just be good for commercial revenue to keep going as much as we can. Jan/Summer will be bigger the further we get.

Oh crap, well that's gone and blown it!

We're definitely losing now

I'll eat my Lederhosen if we get anything out of this
 
Win in either, or draws vs Dortmund and PSG could pretty much mean we are through unless Milan can pull something out the bag vs either of them - which I doubt looking at their previous results. We need to be 4 points clear of them going into that last game!

Would be nice going into that last group game against them knowing we are progressing in some form and if there's still a spot to play for in the CL we can go full tilt at it with nothing to worry about while Milan would already be out if they've lost both games and given up on the comp, while Dortmund vs PSG means one of them are dropping points one way or the other - perfect scenario I know but it is the Champions League... dream!

Apologies, I should have learned by now.

I retract my original statement - instead, for the record, we'll play the same stupid tactic with the same crap players and Eddie "No Plan B" Howe will come up short yet again on a disastrous night for the Toon. In fact, I'm not sure I'll bother watching what will be, without doubt, a humiliating defeat.
