    Maybe you could ask them to circle the stadium for 90mins :)

    Not sure about that Rich. I think it'll be a decent test. We should come through, but then that's been said before.

    Denmark's a great place though - will be fun for those who can eke out a ticket!

    So, presumably, only season ticket holders who have been to every away game for the last 100 seasons will qualify for the Danish leg?

    Very much doubt it. They dropped out of champions league on away goals and started the regular season with 3 wins on the bounce. A good lead on the home leg will be essential. They score a lot from set pieces (and almost half their goals come in last 15 minutes).

    1 - To APOEL Nicosia
    2 - The Danish Superligaen doesn't hold a candle to the Eredivisie
    3 - Sunderland thumped them in a friendly, under Di Canio, in the middle of the Danish season


    If we don't win this convincingly we need to look at ourselves. Try and get to at least 3-0 at home again and then enjoy the away leg.

    Danish beer prices will probably keep the fans well behaved too -

    Oh okay. So he didn't actually play for the first team? That'll be why I don't remember him!

    Clicked on your link YBPR and further reading link, DTLW. Although Benham uses his own moneyball method, the attention to detail and the use of statistics and analysis at Midtjylland is actually quite similar to Saints.

    FC Midtjylland boss Jess Thorup...

    "English teams have traditionally not really been able to decide how to approach this tournament, but I have been following the communications of Ronald Koeman. They are taking this tournament seriously so we cannot expect any help from them. We need to play to very good matches, and then some, to be even close to having a chance."
