Got in Lisbon yesterday afternoon. Second flight out from Manchester with a third due last night. Good burnout so far with more expected to come over today. Should be a good day today

Careful Pepe doesn't take you out on the way to the ground.

[Outcast]

We'll win 0-2

[johnny crossan]

We'll win 0-2

I suppose there's a chance Gundo will start instead of Foden but unlikely, otherwise the team picks itself. Another Raz hattrick perhaps

[stupot]

I think Gundo will start but it's anyones guess who for.
Just read that Cancelo is suspended for the next game if he gets a booking which will be interesting with Walker still out.

That would be nice.

[PeterParker]

I would like to crush them, to be honest.
I still remember how the last encounter ended.

[Nigels Tackle]

i want us to fuck these cunts up

[Harry Dowd scored]

There were 5 red cards in their last game in the league, expecting a tough game

[Sideshow Bob]

i expect much wailing, rolling around and desperate pleading for fouls.

[sheblue]

Looking forward to this game.

NO EXPIREMENTS PEP.

NO NEED TO REINVENT FOOTBALL IN THIS COMPETITION.

Thanks.
