Champions League 2018/19

[Liam]

Bit gutted with that group to be honest, been to Milan and it's shit, been to Barcelona a few times and had enough of being pick pocketed so not sure about going back, and Eindhoven doesn't look the most exciting place... Will enjoy the Barca home game though!

 

[Don Diaz]

Can some clever chap tell me the game rotation ie when we're home and when away against who. Not bothered about Tuesday or Wednesday etc, just home/away and who. Thanks I fancy a bit of Barcelona and PSV away if I can make them.

After my moaning about not wanting to go to any of these places I could be up for it still....

Messi can learn a thing or two from Lucas

A tie against Barca in the new stadium would be something special. Hope to god it's finished by then.

It would have been a great group for some special nights at the Lane, I fear we may have to wait until next year and not sure if UEFA will let us switch stadiums anyway. The players and Poch may not want to either.....??

Dunno the technicalities of it, but I'd be all for it.

Just seen this posted on FB. Don't know how legit it is as can't find official announcements yet.

Our full fixtures for CL is now posted on the official Club site. We are home to Barcelona on match day 2.

I’m going to be up for that game...assuming I can walk (knee operation in October) and can get a ticket.

Might go to Eindhoven as well, last time I went there with Spurs Gomes was in goal...for PSV!! Did Milan last time, twice.....the City was closed after the game, why do Italians all go to bed at 11.00?

Yeah I didn't find Milan to be a great City for the football. I've gotta work out how to get away with it yet but it's my bday on 17th December so sure I can work something out.

I think I'm gonna book flights for Barcelona away from 10th-12th December. What do you think the chances of being changed to the Wednesday for TV is?

More importantly what are the chances of me getting a ticket in with the Spurs fans? @Don Diaz you up for some beers in Barcelona?

Yep certainly am. will be tough getting tickets at 36,000 feet with our boys, but we'll get tickets somewhere. The crack before and after the game is what it's all about as much as the game itself i reckon. I'm having my knee fixed end of October, should all be OK by 11th December but cant commit 100% until I know.

Yeah, CL fixtures always stay on their fixture days. It's not like the Premier League with game weeks being set to Saturday 3pm then Sky adjusting all the Man United games to Friday, Saturday Midday, Saturday Evening, Sunday or Monday ;D

Wonder how many 3pm kick offs they get a season at home? Three?

That's fair enough. I'm gonna book my flights ASAP. Just waiting on invoices to be paid into my account.

Placa Real just off the Ramblas is a good place to go.

We booked 2 apartments 5 mins from the ground works out 30 a head

 

[Liam]

@Don Diaz @Thfcire How long are you guys staying out there for? I'm thinking of doing the Monday to the Thursday. Arrive Early Monday leave mid afternoon Thursday. Plenty of drinking time and recovery time too. Not that fused about touristy bollocks as been to Barca a couple of times before.

 

[Don Diaz]

Monday back Wednesday if I can afford it and can walk. Agree on the tourist bit, been there done that. Have they finished that cathedral yet ???

They'll never finish the cathedral. Yeah I'll most likely do Monday to Wednesday.

 

[corroded]

They expected to finish the Sagrada in the next 8 years apparently!
