I'd much rather have tough games against good European opposition that we take seriously, than meaningless turgid games against Braga, and AZ Alkamaar or some shit.

Correct. Plus it will give the younger players and Rodgers good experience.
So Brendon is going to set a team out with some experience to play with Young Boys ?

You did it didn't you?
Doni's still at the club. Been registered as part of the PL 25 men squad.
Back up strikers you mean
Anyone doing the away trip to Moscow for the Anzhi fixture?
Be careful, very careful.
CSKA, Zenit, & Spartak ultras are notorious for hooliganism - even when their sides aren't playing.
Recently all hell broke loose between the Anzhi & Zenit fans in Moscow ... & Zenit weren't even playing, it was Anzhi vs. Rapid Wien in the Europe League.

A Russian team from Dagestan - a southern region of Russia notorious for its instability and terrorism. De-facto ruler of the region, billionaire Suleiman Kerimov decided to buy the team, probably to distract people from all the problems in the region. In the last 2 seasons they've been spending obscene amounts of money on players and coaches. The first big coup was Roberto Carlos, after that they got Eto'o, Balasz Dzusdzak, Chris Samba, Zhirkov, and now Lass Diarra. They have matched the asking price for Neymar, but the player didn't want to go there. Guus Hiddink is the coach now. Roberto Carlos was in the middle of controversy as Anzhi's own fans threw bananas at him, twice. He's forgiven them, however. Now he has retired and was given an administrative position at the club. The team now lives and trains in Moscow and flies 1200 miles south to Dagestan for every "home" game.
Sounds like the sort of place we should send Joe Cole.
Is this the side that had the referee's door kicked down & 'a heated conversation' was held when they were 2-0 down only for them to get every decision in the second half & win 3-2?
If so it's gonna be a fucking hard game for many reasons.

I wasn't having a dig, just a light hearted comment, it's definitely better we're not playing at that ground, I believe it's very remote.
Yes, I forgot to mention it. They have rented Lokomotiv Moscow's stadium (one of the few modern stadiums in Russia) for all their "home" games in EL. It's great we don't have to travel to Dagestan. We need to arrange somehow for Joe Cole to score a hat-trick against them. They can have him for 20 million.
Actually they were interested in Andy Carroll at some point according to rumours.
And it's like 15 quid for a pint.
Russians love ponytails.
And alcoholics.
Fucking hell, not sure if serious mate?
