Champions League - PSG

[Scovilla]

That’d be nice - I do wonder if they might underestimate us.

The French media already do.

[Richard]

So to win this we have to beat PSG, then probably Real M and Barca. Bring it on!

If we beat PSG then the likelihood is....
Wed 30th April  Real Madrid v Aston Villa at the Bernabeau, Champions League Semi Final 1st leg.

Just let that possibility sink in.

This season has been crazy. We're still on the brink of it being astounding, but equally so, we could end up with nothing and outside the European places for next season.

At the start of the seaon, I just said I was going to enjoy the journey.  I have failed completely at that aim.  But in the UCL at least - I have. 

This season could be amazing - the greatest for over 40 years - how often have we been able to say that (well, apart from last season).

It could be the greatest ever, or at least for 128 years.

It ain’t cheap to get to Paris.

Would a European and FA Cup double beat a League and Cup double ?

[cdbearsfan]

I reckon. Although I fancy we would have absolutely twatted the best that Europe had to offer had such tournaments existed in 1897. The Scottish teams might have given us a game, though. Sadly, we don't seem to have tested the theory that year, but were "world champions" in 1887, 1894 and 1900 (shared).

I'd gladly take an either-cup single!

That's coward talk. For shame.

Sorry.

In case anyone’s missed it:

Away Leg - 8pm Wednesday 9th April
Home Leg - 8pm Tuesday 15th April

[cdbearsfan]

That's the better way round, IMO, so happy with that. Would rather have extra recovery time after Forest than Southampton. Only downside is we have to win to have any chance of being Britain's last surviving team as the Arsenal second leg is the day after ours.

I had forgotten that we would be at home in the second leg - that’s huge! (As long as we don’t screw the first leg up!)
