Champions League Contention

I don’t get the bookies odds. 
I think it’s much closer.

Put some big money on it then.

A grand on Spurs would certainly go some way to relieve the pain if we mess up.

Made the mistake of putting talkshite on...

Sounds like your kind of station.

How so?

You seem to like a bit of polemic, as do they.

Strange behaviour when we've got Bayern Munich away first.

Speaking of which, many hotels are already booked up for the final. I might have to stay in my old hunting ground of Gmund am Tegernsee.

Aha, you're a casino man? At least, that's what I know Gmünd for

I worked in a restaurant there for a summer in '89. Don't recall there being a casino but, as an impoverished student, it wouldn't have been on my radar. Not that I gamble anyway.

Were you there for the fall of the wall and David Hasselhoff's curls?

Worth remembering that Man City have lost 3 league games all season - to us, Arsenal, and a random defeat to the Dogheads in September.

Spurzzz could beat them, though losing their last four games hardly suggests they are in great form. Talking of which they face Burnley tomorrow and their record in the last five is W1 D2 L2, compared to Spurzzz, W1 D0 L4.

Inevitably there is some nervousness until it is confirmed, though it should be fine . UTV

I don't doubt we'll get 4th, I'll just feel a hell of a lot more comfortable once it's finally confirmed.  I don't even like the Champions League, it's full of absolute wankers, but to miss out now would be embarrassing.

At least 2 of those they were without Rodri.

Gutting? Yes. Disappointing? Yes. Frustrating? err, yes. Embarrassing? Not at all. Best season for decades. Best finish in the league since 96/97.

We should be bloody proud, not embarrassed.

The bookies put a lot of thought into their odds. They are rarely wrong.

They're very often 'wrong' (if by wrong, we mean the favourite doesn't win). They rarely don't ensure they're making money regardless of the result.

Newcastle got £30 million for finishing bottom of their Champions League group this season. That's why it's so important.

*One of the reasons* why it's so important. There's the football stuff as well.

I know how unutterably lame and commodity-brained this is of me, but hearing that stupid anthem at VP would feel like something.
