There is an article on the BBC claiming that the last time Barca got knocked out in the group phase of the CL was when Leeds wom their group. And the last time they got into the Europa/Uefa-cup the got knocked out by Celtic.
The entrails make for good reading, folks.

Good

The whole point of Europe in my eyes is playing against some of the best teams across Europe

Tbh from the list the only team I think we should be worried about facing is Dortmund

Would love us to play Barca, Napoli, Porto, Saville, RB Leipzig etc. What an experience that would be

Pearces_Left_Foot

Just to let people know if your a season ticket holder the tickets are already on sale for the next game but alot of people in my group did not get an E Mail about buying your seat for game and when you go to buy it now they make you buy two seats next to teach other as they don't want empty seats ! so i had to buy my mates ticket for him when buying mine

PrestonHammer

I bet your mate loves you, just make sure he gets the Bovril in hahaha

IronHerb

We have popcorn down here Preston, not that northern beverage. 😁

PrestonHammer

I can't stand bovril hahaha

PrestonHammer

You have popcorn watching the footie?

IronHerb

I don't but it is available.

PrestonHammer

I would just be my luck, I'd purchase a big box of popcorn, start to tuck in and we'd score and it would all end up in the air

Giant_Hammer

Preston, when I was first with my wife we went to the pics to see jaws. When the blokes head rolled into view on the sunken boat she threw her popcorn all over the bloke sitting in front of her.

yoyo

And they say "romance is dead!"
( I remember that scene, I nearly banged my head on the ceiling)

Plot spoilers!!

IronHerb

Two more on the list.

Running out of ink.

PrestonHammer

Plot spoiler? The film is older than me and it's about a shark, someone's head is bound to make an appearance hahaha

Giant_Hammer

Crikey, it’s a good job I didn’t say that at the end the shark gets a cylinder of compressed air stuck in its mouth and the sheriff shoots it and the shark blows up. Good job I didn’t let that slip.

Now there’s no point in me watching Finding Nemo. Thanks guys.
