Big test, expect Rapid will be looking for an early goal so that they can sit back, so concentration amongst the defence at the very start of the game will be crucial.
I hope we can win by 2 goals but I wouldn't really be surprised if we go out on a draw. It's a tough call.
DON'T BOO.
Centre Back please.
I just have this funny feeling we won't get Distin, so I think it's Dunne.
Cahill? Ah, another chance to pick at that old wound - how about a new thread on why oh why did MON sell him? :winkold:
I reckon it's the recession having an effect. I think we will see fewer fans travelling away to Premiership matches generally this season. It's a hell of an outlay, increasingly often at inconvenient times to suit the television coverage.
Interested to see what excuse Carew will come up with tonight for not playing. (Only joking, Big John... :winkold:)
Just one message to the Villa fans who go.
DON'T BOO.
Lions makes me think of Rugby.
It's Villans (NB - not Villains and CERTAINLY not Villians, as I saw someone suggest to the General ).
It has been this way since 1880 according to John Lerwill, club archivist, so why change now?
GRRRRRR........
0-1 isn't too bad in theory & in reality we should be able to pull that back at home. Trouble is, based on tonight's and Saturday's performances, I just can't see how we have either the heart or ability to do that.
Gloom.
When you think of the continuous stream of negativity and vitriol that is poured out against NRC, day by day, on this site, it is just a joke that he is now way in the lead for captain!
