Hey Everyone, The next scout thread should be up this evening (I was busy yesterday). In the meantime, check out the other threads I have done, with a brief description of how they'd fit into Glasner's system (they were written months ago)! #cpfc

@LouKF93 Problem is that we barely win first headers. Even funnier than our two best players in the air are also our long throw takers.

1 goal scored every 43 long throws is bad enough. Then you realise one was against Liverpool start of the season and 2 against Brentford. Horrible stuff

@Promo_man @dan_ofthesouth 🤣🤣🤣 at least it would make it less painfuk

@DownToTen @dan_ofthesouth You're forgetting the lure of watching palace in the grasshopper...😍🚬🚬🚬

I know I'm getting ahead of myself but Shakhtar and AZ won on our side of the draw, meaning that we'd play them in the semi if we beat Fiorentina.

@MikeOSullivan87 When I looked on Italy's train website, I'm sure there were trains that were about 40mins

@DownToTen Thought it was at least 2 hours from Pisa on train from the airport

Looks like there's four reasonable routes to Florence for the QF: LDN -> Florence (direct but most £££) LDN -> Bologna then train (~1hr €10) LDN -> Pisa then train (>1hr €10) LDN -> Rome then train (1.5hrs €20) Therefore hoping it doesn't get too mad pricewise.

@dominikmohai16 @henry_hill94 Two Polish teams in the QF, and last year Legia were in the Semi 🤣

@henry_hill94 Still basically no teams from central, eastern europe (the brazilian filled shaktar never was a product of the region). CL is still ruled by the big rich western teams. I hope AEK wins it.

This image alone demonstrates why creating the Conference League was such a brilliant idea. 8 quarter finalists from 8 different nations. Winning it will mean everything to the victorious fanbase. A rare W for one of footballs governing bodies.

@DJRUSSKE The 44 stealing @CFO4TAG's jokes. Shameful

Arteta would 10000%

@Chele_CPFC They will always move to Sunday 2pm unless it was picked for TV. Only time this didn't happen was during December when we had that nuts scheduling.

Our Newcastle home match will shift now won't it? Europe dates and times are confirmed, so it's odd this hasn't been mentioned. 🤷🏼‍♀️❤️💙

Palace counter strike AEK Larnaca low block #CPFC

@imramblingon @AW_CPFC I went as a neutral a few years ago. I found it meh. I feel like there's a lot better in the Netherlands.

@DownToTen @AW_CPFC We got an allocation of 975 tickets for AZ in our semi. Coached away from the ground at the end and taken to the station, train waited until all in then on to Amsterdam.

If we get through it’s a trip to Krakow or Amsterdam 👀

@Mark_CPFC Shakhtar should be the choice. Krakow is an excellent city and a superb night out, in additional to getting loads of tickets. I did AZ as a neutral a few years ago. I can take it or leave it, as AZ stadium itself is meh. Only bonus is that you'd probably stay/go out in Dam.

SHOULD we beat Fiorentina then we either play: Shakhtar Donetsk at Synerise Arena Kraków - Stadion Miejski im. Henryka Reymana in Krakow which has a capacity of 33300 roughly Or AZ Alkmaar at the AFAS Stadion with a capacity of 19500

@AW_CPFC Krakow is a superb night out

@DownToTen We’d get an unreal away end in Krakow tbf, similar to Lublin, exactly what would be needed for a semi final

@CpfcRyan1995 Yes this is the issue. Literally of all they years they renovate the stadiu

@DownToTen The lack of tickets is the worry.

@dan_ofthesouth AZ will have people staying/going out in Dam, but the allocation will be crap because they stadium's not that big. Plus I have been before

@DownToTen We have to have one big away end in this cup before the final, surely

@GeorgieCP85 🤣🤣🤣

@DownToTen Telling everyone dont help 🤣🤣

@dan_ofthesouth They're alright, but, more importantly, they play at Wisla Krakow's which is an excellent night out and we'd get a solid allocation (33k + Shakhtar attendances).

@DownToTen What are Shakhtar like these days?

@McHardySimon Jesus. I may take the Dublin approach. Wait for the algorithm to calm down after a couple of weeks.

@DownToTen Easy jet didn’t mess about 🤣😂

@ChobhamEagle Iirc there were Ryanair flights going there (or Bologna)

@DownToTen Price of BA flight to Pisa has trebled since this morning.

@thebigfella007 @GG15476 Not this season as they are renovating like 3/4 of the stadium. Think it's like 20k or something, might even be less than that.

@GG15476 @DownToTen It’s a 45000 capacity stadium. They have to give us 5% so way more than 400

@ometoon Was about £250 when I looked before the game

@DownToTen Tbh a direct flight makes sense.
