Reckon JWP, Clasie, Tadic and Long will be in the starting line-up. Would welcome a draw but a win would be brilliant. Either way I will be there, pissed and having a good time. Ship on the Urquell and lock up your fit Czech daughters. ## Pork knuckle ahoy. ---

Really looking forward to this trip. I had managed to secure a “scary home end” ticket through a Sparta season ticket holder so the extra tickets Southampton put on sale this week was a huge bonus. Surprised they are still on sale. Usual squad rotation Europa line up Forster Martina Virgil Yoshida McQueen Romeu JWP Tadic Clasie Long Rodriguez ---

Oh Goat, I am sooooo jealous! But with not being able to go and then my wife breaking her ankle on Monday (I am now the driver), there is 0 chance of me going now. We are going going to win this. 1-2 they are playing 24 hours after us as well. If this has any impact. HT - Sparta Prague 2 v 0 MFK Karviná ---

Annoyed at missing this one - the glare i got when I broached the topic with the Ayatollah made my balls shrivel away. Saving myself for the Knockout stages (the Ayatollah doesn’t know this yet) ---

Tomorrow afternoon for me. Staying right beside Wenceslas square. This was always the one i believed would be the decider for us(not quite), plus i’m staying for the Christmas markets on the weekend. Could possibly get all my Christmas shopping done in November and be spared my usual dash around on the 23rd or 24th December. Anyway, now the important bit, the game. A tough start to the game, but our ball playing ability stretches Sparta and we go into the break 1 up. Final score 1-3. A relatively easy second half stroll after a little wobble early in the half. Goal scorers? Cluade makes this difficult(remember the Hapoel line up), so i’m taking Virgil(he’ll start if he’s breathing), Long if he plays and Rodriguez. Possibly in that order or Long first, with Sparta getting their goal between our first and second(just to liven it up a bit). ---

Same area for me. Staying at the Hotel Metamorphisis, so I’ll be the one in black pushing the ball of dung around the Old Square. ---

Wenceslas square hotel for me, if i ever get there. Missed my plane this morning and now having to fly to Paris, wait there for 3 hours then on to Prague. Today’s being a bit of an expensive nightmare so far. Will be worth if we take all 3 points tomorrow though. Will you still be going through your ritual tonight? Will keep an eye out for you :lou_smiley: ---

Seriously S&S, for your own sanity, you **DON’T** want to witness any of the Goatboy’s night time rituals. Isn’t Prague near where the first Hostel film was set? ---
