    I’ll be looking for a ticket for the MAG game.

    Any spares, I’ll be your man.

    If they get good results in their next 2 Champions League games then they’ll rest players in Germany before playing us. It’s a vital few weeks tbh, we need them going to Leverkusen needing a result with a strong side out

    I'll keep that in mind mate.

    I do have a friend who'll be organising a corporate event with the club and may have a spare.

    Would you be OK in a private box?

    Bruno and Linton to get rattled and both sent off and thats just for starters.

    It will be great to stick it up the richest club in the world, arrogant ****ers that they ore.

    I had a good chat with someone the other day, from an older generation, so most of you will respect this...*wink*

    But his thinking was of course, very optimistic, despite the years of heartache. He thinks that if we are still up there come Jan, we need to go for it and push the boat out further.


    I will get carried away and away and away till we lose, simple as that.

    Sadly Joelinton could commit manslaughter on the pitch and not get sent off. He’s the dirtiest player on the pitch every game I’ve seen him in but somehow gets away with it.

    I agree mate, he needs reigning in from the start.

    I remember when Stokoe announced, before the 73 final, ‘I hope Billy Bremner isn’t allowed to referee this match’ … genius!

    Xhaka will be speaking quietly to the derby day referee which should help …

    … an early booking would really help.

    Nah, sod that.

    It may just be me but I’m not going to temper my enjoyment by waiting for this ‘forty points’ which may not arrive for most of the season …

    … if you’re not careful you can end up thinking the same thing again next season.

    The club have really pushed the boat out and I’m climbing on board <laugh>

    Xhaka going into see the ref puts a different slant on it to anyone we've had doing that since I started going to games as a bairn in 71.

    Won't tolerate any bullshit.

    This boat set sail while some people were still on the quayside ...

    ... claiming the skipper didn't have enough fuel for the journey.

    They expected his mam to have to sub him <laugh>
