132 29 Hearts would have won it on goal difference. @compo will remember 1957/58 when the Hearts were champions scoring 132 and conceding 29. League points 62. We were second with 49. Only two points for a win in those days. Now it would be 91 and 71 The threshold of a generation of Gorgie greatness? Not quite. They won it again 1959/60 but only because they signed Hibs discard Gordon Smith and haven’t done a lot since. Things change in football. Sometimes suddenly.

Nul points for me.. I hope Bayern get utterly thrashed in the next round to put things into perspective.

Gott im Himmel. Bavarians - not proper Germans. Italians really.

I’ll let you know later.

Everton’s mew stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock looking really good. They should call it New Goodison.

Diese Nacht sind wir alle Bayern.

A happy day and I think they would have gone on to win it but for the disruption of the team’s momentum. A team with a Gough, Brown and Ferguson in it would never have lost momentum. Could Smith or Wallace have got last year’s players on track? I don’t think so and if they couldn’t there’s no surprise that Clement didn’t. I fault him, though, for not being able to use the experience to get the players fired up sufficiently for this season.

I suffer with Sunderland but it’s a great competition.

AC have enough to do the job. Atalanta may be held to penalties. ’Fica - easy. Bayern - easy, easy.

Quite a few seasons.

Is that an oblique Mafia style warning? I hope it’s not an instruction.

A friend (a member of a learned profession!) watched Hibs v Barcelona from the roof of the old Albion lemonade factory after arriving at Easter Road to find the turnstiles closed. Couldn’t have had much of a view but better than nothing. I have no exotic experiences. I sometimes watched parts of non-league games from the roof of an old WW2 pillbox. Does that count?

It certainly is. The problem is that too many times earlier in the season we lost/drew while playing badly or even while not playing all that badly.

C’mon the ten men. (According to Sky Sports we must now shout “c’mon the ten players”. That’ll be the day)

City need three goals. Two is never enough for them these days.

Every match is a contest.

Rangers will win, no bother.

BHA 0-2 Chelsea Leicester 1-2 Arsenal Villa 3-0 Ipswich Fulham 1-1 Forest City 2-2 Newcastle Southampton 0-3 Bournemouth Hammers 2-2 Brentford Palace 1-2 Everton Liverpool 4-1 Wolves ‘Spurs 1-2 United

Lennon?

Howard Wilkinson as Assistant.

They could hire Clement as a match consultant.

Last gasp equaliser for the Toffee Men.

No. No.

Tried and abandoned both.

Most of those of my acquaintance knew fine well what they were doing.
