...I'm literally counting down til I sprint out of here and commence lubricating my singing valves There's no many folk about, if a few leave early or are in meetings around about 4 O'Clock then I'm boosting early. I don't think I've been this excited about a match since the last 16 home game against Milan. If any of you require a friendly face in a hostelry pre-match, me n a couple of lads will be in the Fiveways. Whit's everyone doing? Even if you're just watching the telly - any pre-match plans?
Home at 3. Fill the fridge with tinnies. Hoose full of sheep shaggers for the game. I was more confident when Forrest and Izzy were fit. We've lost a lot of pace with them being out injured.
I'm outright fearful - nowhere near as hopeful as I was for the away game but I'm hoping we tear out the blocks at them. Attempt to get an early goal Hooper's a massive loss (I think he'll come on as sub) but Forrest has underperformed this year - I'll be happy if he does the same as he did in the Nou Camp - comes on as sub, wins a couple of free kicks with his pace when we're struggling etc. My back door is swinging like a set of saloon doors.
I think it will be over very quickly tonight. If Barca win, they can then rest their stars for the last two games as they will be guranteed 1st! So, they'll be going for it ...
Yep - said after the game in Barca that we need something out of this home game - we can't afford Barca to go to Moscow in December not needing something.
I'm finishing as early as I can, I'm ****ing less than useless right now as I can't concentrate on anything. Will be in the Smiddy as soon as the car is parked up. I'm not going tonight but at least I'll get to see the display.
If you see a wee gap in the display at section 101, that's me either trying to pull my mate out of the bookies or thinking there's plenty time for "one more Jack"
i am so rock and roll alarm is set for 3.30am. this gives me time to get a brew on pre game, i may even have a slice of toast and jam.
I'm getting the 4.30 train through. Few nerve-calming pints. Then section 413 for me. Think we'll lose by more than last time. Love to be wrong (yet again) but either way, a treat to get to see games at this level
This is dragging on tae **** All I want is the simple ability to be able to manipulate time for my own selfish ends. Is that too much to ****ing ask?
I'm officially ****ing it. I think we may have used up all our luck in Spain. Hope to **** we keep the score respectable.
I might dive in there on my merry way Eastwards. There's still 3 hours of this wageslave bullshit to go. Let me oot of here ya fascists Actually, I can go when I like - just cannae be fucked taking the blackberry oot with me and having two 'king phones. As the day drags on, the likelihood of me sneaking out early is increasing somewhat.
Calm down dears, it's only a game of football. We have nothing to lose, no one expects us to even get a draw after all.
