Haha,yeah it is bloody long competiton.Now we need Matte to provide stats on every team in it so we can discuss each one & sound like experts 😀
ahahha… this stat is very simple. my sophisticated computer says:
take Klopp/De Boer/Ancelotti/Bielsa/Benitez and you’ll see your team till April
take McClaren/Pulis/Poyet/Cottee/ or other Sam’s Clone and your European adventure ends on 9 July…
My work is my passion… lol
my computer forgot Bilic in the first list… lol
very happy to see us in europe again : just hope we get a manager in the next 2 weeks or it wont last long.. even then he will only have a couple of weeks to work with the squad before the first game.
right now we dont have a manager or any first team coaches to take temporary charge ( they’re all of to manage other clubs lol.
What a senario ! we give the job temporary to Pottsy only for him to do so well that he gets it permanent ha ha ha
stop dreamin …. wake up
I think we play Red Lion Helsinki second XI in the first game so as it’s not the league stage we can respect the clean sheet……..oops I forgot he’s gone so we can really look forward to some european entertainment
is the first round first leg the 02/07??
yes …… I think
On the plus side it might help attract a better manager… then again, as the transfer window doesn’t open until start july, we will still have the same team that done so well in the second half of the season (but without song, jenkinson & anyone else who’s contract runs out)
Hopefully we will have renewed hope & all the players don’t mind not having a rest this summer.
Can see us now in the sun shine, playing against a bosnians youth teams brothers best friends sisters B team. COYI
also how long is Sako and Carrol injured? Will they be fit?
BFS gone Europe on the horizon what could be better,
We are looking at a top manager for a change how long has that been ?
It’s starting to feel like the club I love and the fans are back,lots of banter mixed thoughts but all taken in good humour with respect
I LOVE THIS CLUB AND ITS FANS
Wooooh steady bubs, owners could still give us Mark Hughs lol
sorry Steve McClaren doh
Yep,well said bubs.Everything seems more upbeat already.Even dafishy is mellow,not trying to put petrol bombs under our cars 😀
It’s like the summer is here Matte is back after going on safari with the hippo,
The kids are behaving there selves,
The Daves are supping the amber nectar and pulling names out of the Russian hat,
Carroll,s doing yoga somewhere hot,
And it’s that time of day again 27% no clouds €1 per cold beer bit of tapas,
Speak later
Lol,cya later bubs,dont fet too p*ssed 😉
Sam can now update his CV with “Steered West Ham to Europe”. A genius, to be sure.
