    Bit unfair. Getting a club to the QF of the Europa League is probably the most impressive thing Scotland has achieved this millenia.

    I'd say "well done champ" to them, ruffle their hair and slip them some money for the tuck shop.

    In fairness I missed out Celtic, they did much better:

    Haslam appears to have neglected what happened in the first 8 months of 2022.

    I did actually know that, I'm only joking. Rangers have had some good runs in Europe and it's been odd given that Celtic have been fairly consistently the better team but got nowhere in Europe themselves.

    "probably the most impressive thing Scotland has achieved this millenia"....as jokes go that was pretty weird, but anyway we move on.

    Scottish teams have always been terrible anywhere outside Scotland tbf. Mourinho's damaged his reputation so much that he's talking about wanting to manage in Scotland.

    Some teams are just built for Europe. Rangers are definitely in that category. Liverpool as well, even when Liverpool were **** they won a champions league.

    Bodo are worth a tenna at that price. I’d give them all a 25% chance of winning it, there’s not much between any of the teams.

    It was mostly a comment generated by brb mentioning Aldo, I had a suspicion he may pop his head over and I was laying out a gentle bit of ribbing.

    Would I post that on the general chat? No ****ing chance, I don't actually need that in my life :)

    Oh fine, I dunno.

    I was just surprised the possible unawareness of the 2022 final, which necessitated the interrobang.

    I found that odd but hadn't realised that Tottenham had Bodo/Glimt as their SF so that's probably the reason. If they get to the final they'll probably be 2nd favourite to whoever wins the Man Utd/Athletic SF but either way I'd like an English team to win it so good luck to them.

    Yeah Man U have a much tougher semi, so that's factored into the odds.

    If either Man U or Spurs finishes 17th and wins it their season has been weirdly successful, the other's season will be one of their worst ever. Athletic probably the best team right now on current form, must fancy their chances after what Man U just did.

    Yeah I think that Semi is a hard one to call but Athletic marginal favourites. Tottenham presumably should make the final but as I've never seen Bodo/Glimt play I'm not going to say they're rubbish.

    Newcastle lads are always talking to each other about semis. It’s code word.

    When the first poster mentions semi that means ‘I’m horny, come and suck me off’ and if the other replies with the word semi in their post, that means ‘okay, but you have to suck me off afterwards’


    Just thought I’d mention that outrageous fact.

    I got bored of just the Newcastle board cos it's dead and repetitive there, so I thought there might more conversation here. Seems quite cliquey, but at least there stuff to talk about here.
