    It looked like a big industrial estate or something, we got the train there and then walked into the City centre, even the subway to the game from the City centre was dead, all other European games i've went to on the train or subway or anything you can barely breathe, can hardly squeeze on, place absolute heaving and mobbed.

    The one to the Dortmund game looked like it was at midnight on a Tuesday. Think you could even sit down on it.

    Leaving the stadium as well I remember there was like 1,000 taxis lined up, I think you could see them from inside the stadium. Maybe everyone stays in the suburbs or something.

    Definitely has a bit of everything. Feeling a right buzz about us just now. Couple more good signings and battering the huns and it'll be some week :BR1:

    Most seasons i do at least one euro trip even if ticketless, but can’t do one this year as money is tight, so as you can imagine I’m fuming we finally drew dortmund. :56:

    Look at what Villa did at Easter Road last year, mate. They're on a totally different level to us.

    Thinking exactly the same this year man. Great seeing teams like Madrid and Barca at Celtic Park but would be great seeing them in the knockouts/playoffs instead.

    You swap our home and away games and the group is a lot more difficulty imo.. what was it Rodgers said in that dressing room clip "paradise it's for us" was it? FB_IMG_1724954343848.jpg

    Zagrebs a great trip for anyone thinking of booking up we done it in 2014, was just before Christmas and freezing cold, but a great trip, locals were lovely, however their ultras are apparently right wing fascists, they’re all Catholic but their views are extreme. Luckily they were banned at the time and there was no trouble, but i believe they’re back in the ground now.

    No messing about in this.

    No early minute sloppy goals,no stupid red cards,no constant missing sitters.

    We can do this.

    These 4 home games are massive and very possible to win.

    It doesn’t really mean much considering how early it is in most of these leagues, and form can obviously change between now and when we actually play them, but out of curiosity I had a little look at each teams current standing in their respective leagues:


    RB Leipzig - 7th (1W 0D 0L)

    Borussia Dortmund - 3rd (1W 0D 0L)

    Atalanta - 8th (1W 0D 1L)

    Club Brugge - 8th (2W 1D 1L)

    Young Boys - 12th (0W 2D 3L)

    Dinamo Zagreb - 1st (4W 0D 0L)

    Slovan Bratislava - 1st (4W 0D 0L)

    Aston Villa - 12th (1W 0D 1L)


    Young Boys being bottom of the Swiss league is probably the most interesting one. Knowing our luck they’ll get a new manager right before we play them and suddenly become * hot.

    We can do that to Hibs at Easter Road as well, i agree most teams in Europe are at another level, some maybe a few levels
    More.

    Most of us are crying out for a team to compete in Europe, hopefully this season we achieve that.

    Generally, we find Easter Road a tough game.

    That ex hun * Weiss is the captain of Slovan Bratislava. I remember him impersonating Samaras’ penalty miss at the bigotdome as well as posting on social media whenever we lost to the scum.

    Give him *!!

    They actually have a slightly better goal difference (2GF 0GA 2GD vs. 1GF 0GA 1GD).
