Stadium Capacity (not that we'll ever see it) 54,000. Vienna waits for us. 3. They have been Yugoslav Champions no less than 21 times. Maybe this year too. 4. They have been Yugoslav cup winners 18 times. But not the league cup which we've won. 5. They've won the double 7 times. Obviously no competition. 6. Champions League winners twice. No chance whatsoever this season, they're not that good. 7. Their President is called Dragan Djajic., and their manager is Slovoljuib Muslin who is rather ill mannered. 8.

On a serious Note We'll have no sympathy this time, up and at 'em lads. I just hope no-one gets hurt, it's one of those occasions when we must all watch out for each other. However I hope PT gives their 'fakers' a roasting again. Since we last played this lot we've gone 'Up in the World' and we are now top equal with Man Utd, if that doesn't impress the opposition nothing will. Right this is what we have to do. We all go to Vienna in our blue gear with flashing blue lights strapped to our noggins and as soon as the teams run out we switch them on 'Out of the Blue' or 'The thin blue line' and we leave them flashing for the first five minutes of the game. Naturally we will have OK'd this with the lads and Matt Elliott will dash forward and shoot straight as dye at goal and their team will be so confused that they won't realize we've scored till it's too late. Our lads will then spend the rest of the game diving down to the floor, being stretchered off, and writhing around in absolute agony. We'll take free kicks accidentally from the wrong place, our throw ins will take an age and our physio will run onto the pitch with both his legs tied together. That's what you do in Europe…we will make no effort to play football except when we're near their goal. Our subs will sneer at their fans . Our ball boys will nod off when they choose. Finally we will be lucky to escape with our lives, our buses will be stoned and smashed and at the end of our narrow victory we will get no credit at all, but be blamed for all the trouble and hassle. We want this win very badly but we won't get it if we fall into the Euro Trap. So no naivety, don't get booked, stay awake and give as good as you get. My mate turned to me towards the end of the game at our place and said 'I don' think I like European football, it stinks.' I know what he meant, it certainly isn't the beautiful game; it's tarnished somewhat and we need to win to restore some validity to the proceedings. For the sake of football lads……..WIN !!!!!!!!!!!
