Llandudlo got knocked out, lost 7-1 in the end. Connah's Quay Nomads, also from Wales, surprisingly beat their Norwegian opposition. They were the (joint) lowest ranking team along with a team from Gibraltar who also are in the 2nd qualifying round. 2nd qualifying round is next week and the week after Dinamo Minsk v St Patrick's Athletic Vojvodina v Connah's Quay Nomads Hibernian v Brøndby Birkirkara v Hearts Aberdeen v Ventspils BK Häcken v Cork City Cliftonville v AEK Larnaca AIK v Europa FC And we want the following teams to lose, because they have a higher co-efficient than us: Genk Maribor Maccabi Tel Aviv Austria Wien Partizan The third qualifying round draw is next Friday, where more of the bigger teams enter, as do West Ham.

Was he released by Man City or did we have to pay a fee for him?

It was a testimonial for one of their players

The above quote is from a skate, but is parodying those who weren't happy with their plucky 3-3 win. According to POL, people were threatening not to buy season tickets.

I will be queuing up in immigration at JFK. Terrific timing.

If anyone deserves to be added to the banner, it's Fonte

Out of the British and Irish teams, St Patrick's and Hearts are both through. The rest of the matches conclude tomorrow.

Interesting that Juventus and Ajax were learning off us, as well as major US teams from other sports

Some people have to moan, and some in this thread are trolling. Me, I think it's very nice. I especially like the away kit.

A better translation of the article

I'm surprised another club in blue didn't reply, spouting their history, boasting of their most passionest bestest fan base, etc. etc.

Hopefully physically with a full pre-season behind him, he'll be back to his best. Of course, there is always the mental aspect to overcome too. If he can start scoring goals on a regular basis then hopefully he will regain his confidence. I think that is the biggest battle.

Reposting it so I can compare the two

Perhaps it will be released at a later date, and when we know who our three opponents will be. There'll be no point in having a third kit if it clashes and we have to wear our usual away kit

So does this mean that The9 can now start the 17-18 kit thread?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this.

I actually don't mind it. The previous two seasons' kits have been practically identical, and I like that it has a bit more white on it than usual.

That does look pretty spot on

Or you could say we had just appointed the failed Valencia coach and his brother whose managerial career you can describe as average at best. Puel is a highly respected manager in France. Pascal Plancque was wanted by PSG before he came here. Eric Black was Steve Bruce's trusted right hand man for many years.

Corporate Ho has come back and is pleasuring himself as we speak whilst reading your material

Apparently Koeman has told their rich owner to pull out all the stops to sign Van Dijk

So have we deduced that the images of those kits are fake?

Gregoire is 24 years old. Le Havre have a terrific academy, one of the best in France, but Gregoire isn't from their academy. Apparently we were very close to signing their top goal scorer before he signed for Bournemouth.

It's their club anthem. They are France's oldest football club and were founded by members from Oxford and Cambridge (their home kit (ciel et marine) is light and dark blue, the colours of the two universities

Dave Watson was at relegated Norwich before he came to us.
