Wotcha.
I’m genuinely fighting the urge to declare this game a non event before a ball is kicked. The previous leg Top 10’d in the World’s Worst Games Of Football Ever™ with several fans who made the journey finding themselves nominated for Nobel Laureats.
We’ve been here before. I bemoan the team selection providing entertainment and value for money in the process alienating a good few readers and those who don’t give a monkey’s how I see it remind anyone who’s still bothering to read that it’s great to see the kids given a run out.
Word is that ticket sales have been suspended for security and safety reasons. This precaution might well be explained by a sizable number of Greek fans bellowing ‘Gowaaaanmysan!’ rather than any traffic backing up from Gatwick.
The game is on 2005hrs GMT on Channel 5 and if you’re watching anywhere else in the world… this arrangement will be unaffected.
Sadly, working in Northampton during the week, my season ticket is being “moved on” for this game. I shall be watching on Channel 5 though whilst eating sweet and sour spare ribs, chicken chow mein and prawn crackers, washing it down with some Stella Cidre. No crap pies and European booze ban for me
Oooh a Chinese. Inspired move.
I may take on a set meal for three persons myself :shifty:
Thong Thai for me. €1.50 extra to have the duck crispy, but definitely money well spent.. Mmm Mmmmm!
i have to admit to a certain degree of ambivalence about this game. We are genuine contenders for this trophy, and at the beginning of the season, I was thinking in terms of “What if we have a repeat of last season? Wouldn’t it be nice to have a Euro-final to look forward to in May”?
However, at the moment we really look like the real deal as PL contenders, and I now think nothing should be done to disrupt that. However (and there always is a however), if we lose tonight, we will almost certainly be eliminated, and should things go pear shaped in the New Year, well you know the rest.
So far in this comp, we have only played well twice, and though I appreciate that the kids are on a learning curve, I would have liked to have seen a strong bench tonight, just in case….
After the Shamrock game, there is a two month break. If we go back into disaster mode between now and the end of that break, I don’t want to be looking back at tonight’s game and wishing that we still had something to look forward too.
I’ve got my wish. A strong team tonight.
Seeing as the Greeks invented buggery, I see it as being only appropriate to do em up the Gary.
I think you mean ‘bakery’ old chap, so shouldn’t that be the ‘toasted pitta’?
We should qualify via the back door then.
Yes, but the British upper classes perfected it.
“The Greeks invented buggery” What a team talk!
Clive Dunn as Manager, “They don’t like it up em”.
Or do they?

What station is showing the game in the States? I’m in CT. Not mobile, i.e. cannot make NYC and the bars.
There are plenty of internet links, but I don’t recognise any of them as American TV. Any good to you?

It’s on the Dish Network satelite tv. I am lucky to have a mate who subscribes to it- for the CFL games, no less!
