Basel aren't what they were a few seasons ago. Their squad value is less than we paid for Paqueta. Fioriontina just seem to be on a bit of bad run of form, only winning 2 in their last 10. If we don't win this thing at this point then we might aswell pack it all in as a club. The squad value Of AZ ...

Easier game? Not so sure about that.

No one got any mention yet?

But am in it to win it.

I had a ticket for Seville

@Belgian Iron - i have been following Brecel's career for a while as i like unusual participants in sport i.e a Belgian snooker player. Is he at all well known in Belgium though? I know Belgium (like Netherlands) love the darts, but i am assuming snooker is not on the radar? Snooker is not a main s...

The same could be said for Ronnie, but look what he's achieved over the years! Of course, the same SHOULD be said about Ronnie. That's why he 'only' won 7 world championships instead of 10+. Cue ball control and shot selection of Ronnie is miles ahead of Brecel by the way. To end any possible paral...

Oh my god yes times 1000. Can't stand the bloke. Always comes off as trying to hatd, plus I find him very creepy. Hated the fact he introduced Allen yesterday by mentioning that he had lost 6 stone. Allen of course may be fine with him doing that but I'm sure not everyone one would be. He looks lik...

Brecel is unbelievable! How he has never gone beyond the first round before is beyond me. Because he loses the plot more often than not on the mental front. His attitude stinks as well. I think he finally turned the corner on the second part. Not sure on the first part. We'll find out in the next t...

Amazing and shockng tbh. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/entertainment/tv/ronnie-o-sullivan-stunned-by-drunk-as-hell-luca-brecel/ar-AA1anEKY?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=b1a71a2da8414f9be1cd8675400a6246&ei=50 Ridiculous comments. If you do it, fine. But just shut up about it. Not exactly good advertising f...

Just how good are Alkmaar then? It seems that the Belgian sides had a slightly better turn in Europe this season than the Dutch, but Alkmaar have made the Semi-Finals. Roma stuttered past Feyenoord, but they're 13 points better off than Alkmaar. I don't follow the Dutch league that good, but the fa...

Shame Anderlecht list. AZ look like a much more dangerous team to me.

A lot will depend on how we turn up though.
Two more opponents to beat.....

Are yellow cards being cancelled after the QF?
Or not?

I know it was the case last year, but not sure how this one goes.....

I'm in for a Pardew vs Wenger'esque bust up between Arteta & Moyes..... Anyone else?

Well, there are more things for ruling him out.

67?!

Good lord, you would be crazy to pay that kind of money after last nights performance.
We need a sell out crowd, not a cash cow.

Well that was brilliant. Gent is a great place, the fans were on top form, in and out of the ground and i got pissed on Belgian beer. Whats not to like I was in the ground, just next to the away section. I thought our lot had a VERY quiet game. Probably because of (too much :grin: ) beers and the t...

Yeah I really liked it mate, it was small of course but it was quite modern inside and made for a good atmosphere. There was a weird process in the concourse though, where you had to buy vouchers at a fixed price to then purchase food and drinks. Weird? That's just robbing extra money of people. Yo...

Had a look on uefa and there was no ballot for the final last year. 8500 tickets were put on general sale and it was first come first served https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaconferenceleague/news/0275-151c28b53869-b01c594a3242-1000--get-europa-conference-league-final-tickets/ Would be a bummer if the...

Gent went 4th domestically this weekend, with a 3-0 home victory. Looks like their season is 34 games long, so unlikely to improve on 4th given the distance to the team directly above them. Anderlecht (8th) also won. After the 34 games, there is a play off between the first 4. (with points being sl...

For what it's worth, the Genk side who we beat last year are 5 points and 9 places better off than Gent. Gent themselves are 4 places and 9 points better than the Anderlecht side we played this year. The current Genk side is nowhere near the side we played last year. (and we are nowhere near the te...
