That's what Hoss just asked for. Are these a different two?

Probably - but I think Hoss may be confused:
TWO BEERS POUR-FOUR-VOR.
Two beers? And then pour four? How does that work?
Or, more worryingly, does Hoss drink halves but put them in pint glasses so no one notices -two beers spread over four glasses?

Quite looking forward to this. Be interesting to see how we approach it. They will of course be able to pass us to death. Will we stand and watch or get involved.

Excited to see LCY back, and hopefully approaching full pelt. Good to see Sordell (hopefully!) and Afobe.

Hudds fan here. We played this lot last night - just imagine you're playing Barca or Spain. Pass, pass, pass. Their number 24 basically hugged the right touchline all night, constantly getting round the back of our left-back. We had chances to score, didn't take them.

Keep an eye out for their goal kicks, the two full-backs basically sit on the by-line with 3 other players surrounding the edge of the box. Never seen anything like it.

Cheers, Tyke. Anything like this?

While I'm clearly fluent in Spanish, I'm not too hot on their drink serving etiquette.
I think it must be something to do with the metric system. I dunno.

Good metric system in Barcelona. Efficient, clean, regular trains, widespread destinations.

I'll get me FCB training jacket.

Is that Spanish for the Coyle method, and did you do it deliberately? :wink:

I know asking for Pre-season streams is near impossible but I would have loved to seen this game and wished the club would have provided something on the offical site
