The tiny totts have to go all the way to Bulgaria (chortle).

Rangers go to Gibraltar.

Hibs are at home to some Hungarians, Motherwell away to an N.I. team, Aberdeen away in Norway.

And Shamrock Rovers have an easy tie against some Italian no-hopers, AC Milan or something.

[Edmond]

You need a throat full of phlegm to pronounce most of those.

[Edmond]

Shamrock Rovers (IRL) vs AC Milan (ITA)

Jaysus.


Zlatan off to the scumbag Tallagh Hoops. Let's hope Pirlo is as good at management as he was at penalties when facing Hart.

[hallelujah]

Are Celtic not in the Europa League now?

[Edmond]

They're in Q1 of the CL, along with Dundalk, and Kjgrtzarkergk.

[harrybarracuda]

They're in Q1 of the CL, along with Dundalk, and Kjgrtzarkergk.

No they're not, they got knocked out by Ferencvacos.

This is just the second qualifying round.

After this, there is a third qualifying round.

And then finally a Play-off round.

Arsenal were just destined to win the FA Cup and put the tiny totts through all this shit.

Either that or Chelski and the Plastics hate them too.

What round are you in, Harry?

[harrybarracuda]

What round are you in, Harry?

We're straight in H. We won a trophy, remember?

Even the Plastics managed one.

[hallelujah]

You must be well pleased avoiding the qualifiers for the UEFA Cup. Well done you!

[Edmond]

knocked out by Ferencvacos

The Ferenc Vacos!

Ararat-Armenia (ARM) vs Fola Esch (LUX)
Connah's Quay Nomads (WAL) vs Dinamo Tbilisi (GEO)

Do thee guys meet in some sort of biker gangland war if they win or what.

[Edmond]

when the next manager arrives then.

October 23rd 2019.

[harrybarracuda]

Are you time travelling Ed?

Do you want the October 2019 Lottery numbers?

[Edmond]

So around January when the next manager arrives then.

October 23rd 2019.

Are you time travelling Ed?

I'd been reading back.


2019:

Maybe he'll be free when you'll looking for a new manager in October then.

OGS will keep his job until the mickey mousers dissect his team on October 20th.

In fact I predict that OGS will be gone on October 21st.

[harrybarracuda]

The lad's done great etc.

And the owners haven't panicked - yet.

[hallelujah]

You walked right into that trap, H.

[harrybarracuda]

You walked right into that trap, H.

Why? He's right in what he said. And I complemented Solskjaer on his efforts in thwarting my expectations.

What more do you want?



P.S. Who's going to argue with someone who puts in that much work reading old posts.

[Edmond]

Sept. 2020


So now Neymar has the Ol' Co-Co, along with Pogba.



No one predicted that.

[cyrille]

Why couldn't they have just gone for a quiet week in Wales with the wife and kids like the English lads?

[harrybarracuda]

Champions League Draw is on live although their still doing their usual bollocks of dragging it out.

Facetubegram says it's on in 8 mins.

[Edmond]

Man City in a group of teams with no vowels?

[Dillinger]

United out in the group stages

Not much to worry about there apart from the missed opportunity for some great away travel.

Although I suspect they are trying to do their bit for BLM by giving UEFA Player of the Year to.... Lukaku.

Were you dropped on your head as a kid?

You know exactly which of the 44 teams I was talking about.

Case closed.
