    I’m still hoping the junior Viking gets the nod but I suppose more interesting is if Maiga scores a couple past the maltesers,will that be enough to put him in Slav’s plans,my thoughts would be he’d still have more to prove.
    I’m hoping to see more first teamers tomorrow

    Let’s hope by the time we play the bigger teams we have the first team sorted the new signings involved,
    Let’s get past the fodder first,could be a banana skin tomorrow if Lee lets me down I have no trust in Magia,

    Expect you are kept apart for now bubs.Later knockout rounds you get your own countries teams to play if you get down to the last 16 onwards & it turns into a cup knockout draw.Least we are safe from the big boys for now being seeded along with them.I dont fancy playing Dortmund in a qualifiying round 😀

  • bubs says:

    Can you draw someone from your own country or are you separated as in other competitions ?
