[Quirkafleeg]

2-1 Jota

 

[Quirkafleeg]

Doherty is going to fuck the Prem a new arse this season. [emoji3]

 

[Jinky]

2-1 up. Jota.

Excellent work from Doherty in the build up with a beautiful nutmeg on their left back. Good ball across for a tap in for Jota.

Costa seems to have hit the gym over the summer. Looks a UNIT!

 

[YoungWolf]

Quality goal!

 

[YoungWolf]

Costa does look bulkier actually, good spot Jinky. Can’t get over how much slimmer Doherty continues to look.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Battering them here. They've barely had a kick since half time.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Where are Basel at on the European football stage these days? They’ve always been a dangerous opponent in European competition but they don’t look great today.

 

[YoungWolf]

No surprise considering our second eleven held their own pretty well. We look a lot sharper.

Where are Basel at on the European football stage these days? They’ve always been a dangerous opponent in European competition but they don’t look great today.

They are in the second qualifying round of the Champions League in the next few weeks against PAOK. They're still decent enough and their league starts in 11 days so they should be well ahead of us fitness wise.

 

[The Bear]

They always seem to give Man Utd a good test in the CL. Whether this is anywhere near their first team though i don't know.

 

[Jinky]

Boly the absolute ledge with a goal-line clearance!

 

[The Bear]

Super Boly clearance off the line after Coady had one slipped past him down the channel.

 

[YoungWolf]

What a team, champions league here we come!

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

That was very, very impressive given it's our first proper outing. No-one looked off the pace, everyone did ok at very worst but Giles, Mir, Goncalves, Boly, Neves (of course) and Jota were all very good.

Not a bad write-up from Tim, marred by an "Ashley Benny-Seal" error near the end. You're not David Pleat, Timbo.

 

[b3h]

He's also missed a 'not' out. Hate mistakes in big paper stories.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

They have sub-editors to catch all that crap. Not very good ones, obviously.

If I cock something up, that's just me being rubbish

 

[b3h]

Yeah ofc.

Just annoys me for the bigger papers. The Mirror is guilty of a lot of spelling mistakes and missed/extra words.
