Good morning all!

It's the final game of pre-season and the traditional 'big game'. Hereafter, Mr @havanatopia takes the driving seat for his legendary league match day threads, starting with Barnsley.

So for my final match day thread, until the Carabao/Worthington/whatever it's called cup game v Plymouth, I thought we might have a bit of fun... 

A mini quiz for you brainiacs out there...

Answers will be posted around KO time. There is no prize, just the knowledge of being a clever clogs.

1. FC Twente play in the Eredivisie. But which 3 teams in the same league, are known as 'the big three'?

2. Twente has a sponsorship deal with which major brand of alcoholic beer?

3. True or false: FC Twente's 30,000 capacity stadium will host the final of the UEFA women's euros on 6th August 2017.

4. In their current 1st team squad, Twente have just 1 great Dane. Name him.

5. Which Scottish international played for both the senior Scotland side and Twente during 1999 and 2001?

6. Which City reject was snapped up by Twente after a successful trial?

7. And why was the answer to no. 6's league debut for Twente, seen as a disaster?

8. Which former England manager was a coach at Twente in the last decade?

 

 

Right I can't think of anymore...

On to tonight, and Twente are currently en route to Bristol as publicised here. Also the team they are bringing is listed. 

 

Twente are a good side so this has a draw all over it. 2-2. Bobby with yet another brace.

And from what I've seen on Snapchat, we are in our new home kit!

Final word from me, please turn up to AG as early as possible if you are POTD or better still, print tickets at home. 

 

COME ON YOU REDS!

From FC Twente Blog - "the start of the duel is at 20.45 Dutch Time"

Now I'm no Steve Maclaren but according to the dictionary  a duel =

"A contest with deadly weapons arranged between two people in order to settle a point of honour."

Surely more appropriate for the Millwall match.

I think that's just Google Translate having a weird moment when converting from Dutch to English!

Most otib users know that I have no interest in friendlies and I'm a bit surprised that 3000k fans obviously do.

3000k? We're getting a gate of 3,000,000 for a friendly? Have you got a touch of Gasitis?

Really interested to see what Team LJ picks to start tonight's game. Best indication yet of what he considers to be our strongest side. Wonder who will be playing up front ?

Imagine there will be changes at half time but the first 45 minutes should give the fans an indication of the progress made since last year  and how we can survive without Tammy.

Yeah, we do know. Yet you have the compelling need to go on every. single. pre-season friendly thread and tell us that you have no interest in pre-season friendlies.

Is this on the radio anywhere?  I'm guessing not.

There will be a live audio stream via the main site. Adam confirmed this on twitter to someone earlier.

I guess you must be able to buy tickets down there? as followed the tickets link on the web site and no mention of tonight's match. Possible as to late to load on to season card, but thought it might mention the match and cost etc.

You forgot conference manager

You also forgot 'S B C drop zone'. Sounds like one of those massive sales on some obscure tv shopping channel...

Correct. Tickets can now only be POTD at AG. YOU CANNOT BUY ONLINE FOR TONIGHT AS OF 5.45pm!

If going, please leave as early as possible to buy your ticket. There is no fan zone but the Sports Bar and Pizzeria is open.

7 defenders and a keeper out of 12 on the bench?? 

Blimey, we really are short of attacking depth aren't we!
