    That's my thinking about trouble. There is a reason we get along with Barcelona and there is no trouble. Obvious as the day is long that we would go with the rebel mentality (quite ok with that) and they will know what to do to wind us up with any Royal and anti basque, catalan, Scottish antics.

    Maybe not the worst place to go for trouble, but it will be there.

    It was boss in Molly Malones the other night. Drank so much with so much joy I nearly blacked out. It was all good though. (I was working so couldnt make it up, bought a ticket though)

    Bit off topic but Rosenborg went to Ajax last night and beat them 1-0. Ajax got to the Europa League final last year, could we be set for a huge year in Europe ourselves? I think we could be, bit of luck and who knows where we might end up.

    Am sure there was no trouble when we went to Madrid to play Atletico in the Europa League a few year back?

    I've got a feeling we can do something special this year. Im not saying necessarily the final of the EL, but 3rd in our CL group, then maybe a run to the quarters/semis of the EL.

    That's my hope too.

    Of course, I'd want to Progres out of the CL group if possible, but third in the group should be the bare minimum aim. I think we could really go far in the EL if we make some quality signings between now and the end of the window.

    Yes, but the situation with Catalonia has got much more tense since then. Hopefully and probably nothing would happen, but atletico's ultras are some of the most violent in Spain and they are heavily right-wing and Spanish nationalist.
    I'm probably just reading to much into it.

    There was, more so with the heavy handed police as is not unusual in Spain.

    See if we (pipe dream obviously) were to win the CL this year (or next), I'd love for us to just be like
