FC Vorskla Poltava V Arsenal. 17:55. 29th Nov.

[Marc Overmars]

Just read it’s expected to be -9 degrees at kick off. :haha:

Fuck that.

Surely we will take a complete second string for this?

[dazthegooner]

Think we'll need more than second string for this will have to be a thick thermals job ;)

[SMatthews]

Martial law might be more of an issue than the cold.

Still, perfect chance to leave some players stranded in the Ukraine.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Is there any benefit to topping it rather than coming second?

Topping the group that is....

Think you might play a CL drop out if you finish second but I have never cared to understand how this competition works tbh. In all honesty apart from Chelsea I have no idea who else of significance is in this competition. I expect us to reach the quarter finals at least regardless because most of the opposition is shite.

With Spurs to follow, I really hope no key players are being dragged away for this game.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The match has been moved to Kiev.

Hope those that have tickets get to go there, otherwise another one UEFA has pissed up the wall on.

So it isn't quite as meaningless as many are making out then.

[SMatthews]

It’s been moved to Kiev now, which should mean less travel. Still minus five but hopefully all this drama with Russia leads to the match being called off and we just get the points.

[Marc Overmars]

So it isn't quite as meaningless as many are making out then.

This game or where we finish?

I'd say this game is fairly meaningless. Even if we lose, we'd only have to beat Carrier Bag at home to win the group.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Ahhhh ok... furry muff.

[Letters]

:rimshot:

:lol:

[Marc Overmars]

Apparently the game is still in doubt despite being moved to Kiev.

Just scrap it and give us the 3 points please.

[Mac76]

if we do have to play he has to send the reserve reserves only

[GP]

Just Jenkinson on his own.

[Coney]

No Özil then.

[GP]

Nah, he's been turbo-dropped.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Danny John-Jules' son. :bow:

Cat. :bow:

[Marc Overmars]

Ramsey. :lol:

Slumming it now.

[SMatthews]

Apparently no one knows where the game is being played. Just call the fucking thing off.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I can't even play this one on FIFA, not that l have done the Bournemouth game yet.

[Mac76]

Unless you can recreate that OG i wouldn't bother

[Mac76]

Danny John-Jules' son. :bow:

Cat. :bow:

I thought it was his nephew?

But still...

[SMatthews]

If the game doesn’t go ahead apparently Vorskla are disqualified and ALL of their games expunged from the competition. Meaning any points won by other teams are removed, which would still see us through as group winners, even if we lose our last game and Sporting won tonight.

[SMatthews]

Fuck all that, the game is still on.

Something to watch on TV later I guess.

[dazthegooner]

Is it on BT sports?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Is it? I didn't really know they were related tbf. :lol:

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Looking at that squad list.....I guess it would have been much the same even if we'd have beaten Sporting in the last game, so guess we can be fairly happy that we have a decent selection of players for the next two league games.

I'd play....

[Master Splinter]

SMITH ROWE!!!

[GP]

Dennis Smith Rowe-Kamp

Good play from Ramsey and Nketiah in the build-up.

Ramsey tripped.

[Master Splinter]

RAMSEY!!

0-2.

Vorskla resorting to thuggery now.

That's about ten fouls in two minutes.

But this ref is actually booking them.

[Master Splinter]

WILLOCK!!!

0-3.

Little bit combed in.

[Master Splinter]

Elneny fucks up, but they sky it into Belarus anyway.

[Master Splinter]

In now.

Watching this on the BT Sport app with 1% of the phone battery left. :haha:

Misses next match.

At least he'll finally get a rest.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ntekkiah. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Medley is on. Hope his chant is a mixture of lots of chants.

Ramsey off to rest for the bench on Sunday, Saka on.

[Master Splinter]

Smith Rowe goal was ruled out for an earlier offside.

Medley on for Holding.

Saka on for Ramsey.

[Master Splinter]

Cech saves from someone.

[Master Splinter]

Smith Rowe shot well saved.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Save from Old Man Cech!

[Master Splinter]

Best Kane in Europe on for Vorskla.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kolomoets booked.

[Master Splinter]

Saka. :bow:

I think he's the GOAT.

[Master Splinter]

Gilmour will be comfortably numb when he comes on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Guendouzi off for Charlie the Gooner. :bow:

One of the old boys in this team. :lol:

[KSE Comedy Club]

Group winners. :bow:

Have we ever done that before? :shrug:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It can't be very often we go the whole of November unbeaten.

0-3 FT. Well done kids. :bow:

Group winners. :scarf:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Have we ever done that before? :shrug:

In the Europa League, last season.

Season before that we drew Bayern and lost 10-2 on aggregate.

:ilt:

[Master Splinter]

Arsenal :bow:.

Jenkinson to take Mustafi's place?

Nketiah, Smith Rowe and Willock all played well.

:ilt:
Oh yeh, now I remember.......:sick:

[Mac76]
