Given that Braga were poor and we have 2 of the more difficult teams away,

we have left ourselves a lot to do now.

 

Should have been an easy 3 points last night.

 

Looks like we might need to go to Belgrade and get something to

keep this dream alive !!

Just getting to the group stage was a bonus for me.

 

I never expected us to get through the group...

 

...but 3 teams do get through, if Bayern win all 4 of their games and run away with the group we might just squeeze through with 4 points.

Three of us bought tickets & stayed in town on the lash whilst watching it in't Flying Flute - those armchair fans have the right idea, drinking themselves stupid & watching it in the comfort of a pub is soooooooo much better than going up to that freezing Wigan overspill

 

Sh?te game - we're in for a long, hard season.

 

Altogether now we're sh?t & we know we are

Don't hope for 3 points in Belgrade. Bayern were outplayed yesterday with the help from the atmosphere created by the home fans. Zvezda were really unlucky and conceded 2 goals in the last 5 minutes after mistakes by their goalkeeper.

I don't know how Megson will change Bolton, but if they continue to play like this then I don't see them taking even a point in Belgrade

Assuming we lose in Munich i can't see anything less than 4 points from the Greeks and Red Star being good enough.Last night's draw would have made it difficult even for Allardyce with Faye and Ben Haim to get through the group.

 

If we do get through in Belgrade at their expense,it could be an even more fun walk back to the city centre

 

I didnt think it was such a bad result.

 

With the amount of unrest and transition this club is going through right now it was to be expected really.

1. I dare say you would want to win your home games in any competition....

 

2. Perhaps they were but how many times have we all seen so called 'bigger' teams fall at the hands of smaller ones? If our position it was 1 point gained in my opinion.

 

Absolute Tosh? If I were you id drink less coffee in the morning... it will all be ok...

 

In a another matter, I hate this F A C T shit.... makes people sound silly.

FACT?

 

Last time we went through after drawing against Seville at home, now thats a FACT. Facts only become facts after an event. FACT....................I think!

Sh?te game - we're in for a long, hard season.

 

The braga game has no bearing on that fact.

We already know we're in for a long hard one. (oo-er missus!)

Probably, we actually don't "know", but if the rest of the season and 2nd half of last season is anything to go by...............

 

What happened around Christmas last season?

 

We played City there and murdered em, only 2-0, but 3 weeks later we were slow, lethargic, uncaring. Something seemed to have changed.

 

How many points this year (to date)..........22 (in 28 games), thank god we've found a messiah!

Since the turn of the year, our league record is:

 

Played 27

Won 5

Drawn 7

Lost 15

Scored 29

Conceded 50

Points 22

 

An average of 0.81 pts per game = 31pts in a season.

 

(as an aside, Megson's record in the PL is 0.73pts a game = 28pts a season!)

But Seville were the best team in the group....Braga were shit and we still have the 2 hardest games (both away) to come

yep, but we will find out the facts in a few weeks.

 

IMO, by not beating Braga we will not make it.

 

Enjoy Europe while you can. As some sage said, "next time we might be in a Nursing Home"

Whilst I agree that it's going to be a while until we next get into Europe your comment about not making it through the group stages is nonsence

 

We will beat the Greeks and we'll get a point at either BM or RSB making us a qualifier at 5 points

 

Zenit will be nice

That would be perfect, I really love our European tours! Munich will be my > 1 day jaunt.

I'm not sure if 5 points will be enough.

 

In last years group stages 1 team that manged 5 points failed to get through to the knockout stage.

 

In 2005-06 2 teams failed to qualify with 5 points. One of those was Besiktas in our group.

 

In 2004-05 3 teams failed to qualify with 5 points. One of those was Rangers who managed 6 points.

 

 

It'll be great for the nerves if we have to get a point in Belgrade to get through.....

 

Look

 

I'm pretty sure that BM will win 3 games

 

So here's how it's going to finish

 

Munich - 3 wins one draw - 10

 

Thessolonik - 0 wins - zero points

 

Braga - Thessolonki - 3, Bolton 1, RSB 0 Munich 0 - total 4

 

RSB - Munich 0, Thessoloniki 3, Bolton 1, Braga 1 - total 5

 

Bolton - Braga 1, Munich 1, Thessoloniki 3, RSB 1 - total 5

 

Get your mortgage on it

 

Remember it's 3 go through and Thessoloniki and Braga are far worse that us

maths not your best subject I guess?

If all games go to form, Munich and RSB will be top two then us and Braga joint 3rd. I asume it will be down to goal difference so we need to give the Greeks a right toeing, but if its a dead heat would Braga go thru on the strength that they were the away team against us ?

 

I have a feeling we may not make it out of the group sob sniff.
