Let's be realistic here, we cant can we. But can we?
We've lived the dream. That day in 2017 when we went into the promised land we hoped to stay there. We have. But who'd have any idea just a few years later we would be entertaining four big European teams in a real Euro competition.
I will enjoy tonight for the occassion.
Also believe we can do it.
Superstitions? I'm sticking to every single one of them.

Going tonight in hope more than expectation. Could see us getting ahead, then slowly getting dragged down into a very stop start game. 3-1. But at 2-0 the atmosphere will be incredible.

No Dybala, no Lukaku.

The totally football podcast show a few weeks ago suggested this tie could be 4-0 to one team in one leg and 5-0 to the other the next. I'm a believer

I'm holding out hope just in case a miracle happens and I've got a feeling the atmosphere will be electric (for a while at least), but can you imagine what we'd be feeling now if it was 0-0 of even 1-0 in the first game? I'd be a nervous wreck.

I'm planning on bloody well enjoying tonight, whatever happens, we should all be going with the intention of having a right old laugh and having a sing-song... 1-0 after 15 mins, 2-0 at half-time, a quick 3rd goal beginning of the 2nd half... and it gets interesting. It's not impossible....

..and if we get thrashed again, I hope we come up with some inventive gallows humour whilst cheering the boys on.

It'd be nice if we could find our groove again, play near our best and get a win so we can go into the two week break on a wave of positivity.

We're not going to overturn a four goal deficit but we're right in the hunt for 6th/7th and more European football next year so if we can go into the next two weeks with confidence high we can have a proper crack at qualifying for Europe again. We'll win it all next year...

No Dybala, no Lukaku.
Where has the no Dybala stuff come from? The quotes in the Italian papers from De Rossi suggested a niggling injury makes him a doubt - but sounded more like he was just pondering whether to rest him.
