Surprised, its Tuesday and no thread yet.

Anyway, is Babel available or suspended for this one ?

Think I'd be happier if he was suspended, same team as last night but Mascherano coming in pushing Gerrard forward and Kuyt wide right.

According to the offal Babel isn't suspended. Obviously there's no Maxi so it'd be good if Babel was free, stick him on right side and see what he can do. I think Kun Aguero is suspended on their end though

I'm so bored I'm speculating on their journey

What do we reckon guys?

Looks like:
Virgin Train to London Euston.
Eurostar across to Paris?
Coach from there?

[Reece]

I'm sure I heard they were getting the train to somewhere in France, and then were able to fly from there. Bordeaux perhaps?

[Reece]

They intend to spend Tuesday night in Paris. From there they will fly direct to Madrid if northern French airspace is open.

If not, as seems likely, they will leave Paris on Wednesday morning and travel to Bordeaux by train. From there they can take a flight to Madrid, as Bordeaux airport is functioning.

Train just left for London, bit of a scrum at Runcorn station but everyone on board safe. Rafa and the players looking ready for a long trip! We'll find out at 2.30pm whether we can fly to Madrid from London - or whether it'll be another train over to Paris.

No airports south of Newcastle - including all London airports - will open before 1900 BST

Who's off to Runcorn Station to rob some nice wheels then?

There's a Wacky Races feel to Fulham's journey to Hamburg...some fans even on motorbikes according to Sky. Uefa should really postpone ties

TUES 20 APRIL

15:03 - LONDON
Rafa signed loads of autographs before getting onto the coach - everyone seems to have enjoyed the journey and is ready for the next leg. We're sat on the most luxurious coach you've ever seen - leather seats, plasma TV screens, it's brilliant. Just a pity the journey to St Pancras is only 200 metres!

Excellent stalking guys, I knew I could count on you
