The BBC article on the kick-off changes says "All the knockout ties will kick-off at 20:00 BST/GMT", so we're probably OK
I just cant understand why they would would have it at the same time as ajax vs real though - surely the whole point was to ensure maximised tv audiences so they would split the KO times. Really hope it's a 20:00 BST though but I cant see it.
Get on the blower to the airline mate, say you didn't mean to book that flight and see if they take pity. Might be like a two hour grace period or something for cancellations!?
Would've been cheaper and quicker to go by taxiI paid £210 and thats going via Malaga.
Fuck you!

So, who's Dortmunds super player? who do we have to look out for and hope he gets crocked?
Sancho, Reus, Paco, Witsel

One of these 4 is not like the others. Witsel? Jesus....
Probably the most in form midfielder in Europe alongside our very own Moose (so an interesting match within the match). He's benn dominating the midfield for them in the league.
Has Weigl's progress been halted?
Only played 3 league games and 3 CL games for them this season so yeah. Witsel has pushed him down the pecking order
I'm not scared of Dortmund. Sancho ain't all that (yet) and we have better attacking players.
In a normal year Bayern would be cruising but because they're shite Dortmund are taking advantage.
They will be two tough games but if we play to our best we should win.

It's a while before we play them and on that basis it is nigh on impossible to predict.
I think the important thing is to have a lead before we go to their place, stating of course the obvious.
I think Dortmund are probably the best team I've watched this season when I take into consideration opponents faced, transition from defence to attack, style of football and the talent they have.
Regardless of what you think of the Bundesliga, being unbeaten at this stage in ANY of the big 4 leagues is an incredible achievement. Smashing a relatively solid Atletico Madrid team 4-0 is not to be sniffed at (Though Atletico beating them 2-0, which is their only loss this season, shows they are beatable).
It will be a great game though. For me, this is the tie of the round and not a single game comes close to it in terms of excitement, football, young talent involved and hunger of both sides to succeed and break that barrier.
I think overall we have the better squad but as we know the better squad means sweet fuck all when it comes to knockout football and ALOT can change in 2 months. Remember when we smashed Madrid, only for them to regain form a few months later, beat all comers and win the thing? It can happen.
I am excited by this draw. We want to beat the best and Dortmund have proved this season they are up there.

We will go through. We are better than them.
A lot can change in 2.5 months, nothing to suggest that we may also be in our groove come Feb. Just exciting to go into the knock outs with the potential for it to be at the new stadium as well. The CL music in our home, first time since 2011!
Dusseldorf with Eurowings and straight on the Deutsche Bahn from there.I paid £210 and thats going via Malaga.
Fuck you!
Anyway, nice market in Malaga. I love those olives in the anchovy brine
