    My three favourites to lift the EL from an objective point of view are Shakhtar, Olympiakos and Zenit. 4 Italian teams, 4 Turkish teams so those two nations are well represented. Of course we do not know which 8 teams will eventually drop into the EL from the CL, but I am thinking these three teams have an abundance of experience that should see them progress to the latter stages of the competition.

    So folks we need to learn a chant in Italian so make friends with the Italians and they will teach us, in Czech and in Hebrew. Imagine singing a Saints song in Hebrew at PL matches.

    I was joking about the flag...... I have no plans to die in Israel, or even support the country in any way.

    This was translated from the Hebrew in the 16th century.

    Sing unto the Lord, oh ye saints of his, and give thanks at the rememberence of his holiness.
    For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning

    - Psalm 30

    Flight prices creeping up already. Before the fixtures were confirmed I checked flights to Milan for the 19th - 21st October and they were £30 return from Stansted, now £50 so not too bad.....

    Should be a thoroughly survivable group, plus a marquee opponent. Not a bad draw.

    Still £35 from Bristol, pretty sure I will have zero chance of getting a ticket though as a non ST holder. Can't see an 80k seater selling out though so might go in the home end

    Decisions, decisions
