The best? Easily a dull 0-1 loss at Wigan in 2014. ... easy because the only other Wednesday away match I've been to was the 0-6 at Reading in '08.

"Don't get sent off today." "Fuck you, Carlos."

Got interesting in the end, there, in Barcelona. Ndicke sent off and Barca get two in injury time. Frankfurt see it out, though, and are through to the finals.

Despite being down a man since late in the first half, they've leveled on aggregate in the 83rd.

Eintracht Frankfurt up 2-0 at the Camp Nou at HT. Didn't see that coming. Hoped for it, mind. Just 45 minutes more.

Yeah, the 'par' bit is on, but not sure about the added 'rott'.

7. Troy Parrott, maybe?

I've seen the USA play, I'd guess, 30-35 times. World Cup qualifiers (especially v Mexico) can be very, very good fun. The Gold Cup (CONCACAF's Euros) is hit and miss. Semis and finals can be good, but they're usually fairly tame. When CONMEBOL held their 'centenario' here, that was pretty good, and USA games were quite worth the effort. Friendlies tend to be just mates, beer, and footy, which is a decent combination regardless of the quality of the latter. We don't have a 'home' stadium, like Wembley, so they play all over the country. Whenever they're in the Midwest, I go if I can. I've seen them in 7 or 8 different venues ranging from around 20k to maybe 80k capacities. If I had a local 11 that I could go to every other week, I might not make the effort for USA. But I'm 2.5 house from MLS, and frankly, it blows. So USA is as good as it gets for me without flying halfway round the globe.

Tommy Miller v Rotherham? (roughly as likely)

Pfft. No boots were good enough for Carlton Palmer. League rules made him wear a pair, that's all.

Very, in my house. 'Unpopular', I mean - not 'crap'.

Historical answers to this question include Fernando Hierro and JayJay Okocha. It's late and I've had a few, but from a certain (drunken) perspective, that really is extraordinary. Did I mention I've had a few?

We're shit. You very well may finish above us this time.
