Drawn Steaua in the qualifier: Away first match.
First games 16th & 17th Aug.
Second 23rd & 24th Aug.
Could have been worse.
Yer, wouldn't have fancied Roma at this stage.
Was chatting to a Romanian lad at work, (A Rapid Buc fan). Says Steaua aren't what they used to be, but the players are mostly Romanian internationals so play well as a team... But he'd be surprised if we didn't beat them.
If we are serious about competing in the competition then we have to be able to beat these. But it is also nice to have a recognisable club to play.
Indeed, gotta beat the best and all that. But our preseason has been shit so who k ows what kind of shape we'll be in
Pep does I hope.
type of game that can be a ballache away but easy job at home. this isnt the 80s teams from romania and that lot are bollocks now
After fucking up against groclin disco ball and struggling against the faroe islanders & midget land, you'd hope we'd know not to take things for granted
