Señore Pioli's "Americans in the midfield" Milan vs. Meester Eddie's Iron Men XI

[Chaser 1423]

I'm also on a train from Leeds to Newcastle with lads getting the badge in so undoubtedly, the Italians are getting a piece of us either way.

Why is it that the only thought I had when I saw that castle was "Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries!"?

My only concern is that the éclair took down a French team. Maybe this needed to be a cannoli or some gabagool to turn the Italians over.

 

All part of the testing process though. We'll know for next time.

Don’t you precede it with pizza? 
 

All angles covered I’d say. 

[Gemmill 51972]

Fajitas tonight. Have they got any Mexicans in the team I can put a food hex on?

[aimaad22 4933]

Tampering expectations and all considering how shite we've been in the last two games but hard not getting excited for this one.

Is that the same Alan Shearer who retired from England duty because he was playing too much football?

[Zathras 366]

Stoned out of his gourd from the looks of that photo. 

[Howmanheyman 37656]

Walked past a few Italians already whilst I'm waiting for @thebrokendoll. I greeted them Paulie style by saying 'commandantori'.

[Howmanheyman 37656]

(They now think I'm Newcastle's numero Uno ultra and TBF, are they that wrong to think so?)

[Gemmill 51972]

Aye I listened to that from Shearer. Absolutely shite patter. He could barely move for the last couple of years of his career - not sure he'd get away with that in the current era.

Shouldn’t have gotten away with it then when the main focus of the club was him breaking the goal scoring record

I just tried the same thing and all I got in response was ‘shaddap you face’.

Sadly we lost on penalties that night.

 

Though I did have to google it as I have no recollection of it happening. How did Steve fucking Harper get a Milan legends side to travel to Newcastle?

I know, I was there  but you asked who Milan beat. I think that Milan legends side did the rounds as almost a proper team. They were ridiculously fit and took it very seriously. Billy Costacurta played in a defensive midfield role and basically shit down every attack. It was impressive from a fitness pov but it absolutely sucked any joy out of what was meant to be a bit of fun

I would have guessed Portsmouth(!) but it was ManYoo

[Monkeys Fist 46017]

So, are @Howmanheyman, @thebrokendoll, and @ewerk all meeting up for pre-match pints and a game of hide-and-hide from CT?

Lads what are all the permutations for tonight. I'm still in A&E with a perma-stiffy and there simply isn't enough blood available to power my second biggest organ.

If we win or draw, we are guaranteed Europa League at least. 

 

If we win and PSG lose, we qualify for the knockout rounds. 

If we win and PSG draw, we qualify for the knockout rounds.

If we win and PSG win, then we get the Europa League. 

If we draw, we get the Europa League.  

 

If we lose, we're out.

If the doctor asks your preferred pronouns immediately after examining you, it’s not a good sign. 

[aimaad22 4933]

Shouldn't we progress on head to head if we win and PSG draw?
