Thank you. We’re still locked in!!

I hope you haven't seen Midnight Express.

Top film.

The Turkish tourist board didn't think so.

Brilliant result we are through to the last 16 no play off great night.

[LeeS]

The most important goal was that 111th min equaliser that moved us into 2nd place. Getting home ties 2nd leg all the rest of the way will be sweet.

Coaches have only just got under way. Absolutely fucking dire. These twats should not be anywhere near a proper competition.

They are currently sitting in the area of the table where we could play them again in R16.

This seems to be the absolute longest was back they couldn’t have gone ? Why not the tunnel ?

[Grande Pablo]

Great performance.  Should have scored more.

[Brazilian Villain]

Lads look happy headed back to the changing rooms.

Yeah, Youri looked in good spirits too despite the kerfuffle.

Thank God for all Brann! I bet their two penos were soft as shite too.

Lindelof done enough to get his spot back from Torres for Newcastle? Onana getting some minutes in. Sancho's first goal. Great night for the squad really. Get Tammy done and in the squad for Newcastle. Filthy stamp on back of Ollie's achilles late on.

As it turned out, a very welcome game in Europe. It should lift the squad ahead of Sunday. rather than going to St. James' on the back of the Everton loss.

Yep, that’s really changed my mood after that defeat and injuries, then seeing the boss look so glum. I was so impressed with every player tonight, we look really together.

What’s going on with the Tammy deal? It seems to have gone quiet.

[PeterWithe]

I didn't fancy us in this but fuck me we were good.

Everyone knew their role and carried it out mostly perfectly. If there is a better coach in the world, I dont know who it is.

[ROBBO]

Sancho has taken time adapting to what Unai expects of him, better defensively tonight but showed he's short of game time when clear in the box and the touch let him down.

[Pat McMahon]

Don’t know about anyone else, but I got the feeling if Sancho had had more game time, he would have scored more than one tonight. He’d have been a second quicker which would have made all the difference. Of course, he’s got to earn it.

But Maybe we need to play him into form. I haven’t checked but it feels like we’ve spent more time hoping Guessand makes it.
Maybe we’ve been backing the wrong one..?

Sancho was mostly useless apart from his goal. 

I only saw the second half but that was my conclusion too. My Bulgarian colleague was surprised at how weak he is, and the reaction he generated in me.
