    Launching a rocket is mostly to do with gravity too. Doesn't mean it's easy.

    Is there a match on today, and if so, when does it start?

    There's more maths involved though. Probably.

    It's quite remarkable that we've picked a stack of midfielders but don't appear to have a midfield.

    Someone on twatter said it often rains like this in Braga.

    I believe that Santiago de Compostella, just north of there, is historically the wettest place in europe.

    ...or this might be a made up fact, I never verified it.

    I am curious to know how a stadium cut out of a quarry, and so founded on presumably impermeable rock with little soil, is able to absorb the water so well.

    Former quarry means that they cut all the rock out. They filled the holes with victoria sponge, so super absorbent.

    Drainage - gravity does all the work for you.
    Rocketry - gravity is the enemy

    Moron.

    Well that was very tedious. Drains and weather talk much more interesting.

    Ref is a fucking moron too.

    It's all a bit well mannered isn't it? This match needs a health dose of "get into 'em, fuck 'em up"...except that you aren't allowed to do that any more, because real football no longer exists.

    But still, you would have thought that yatesy would have put himslef about a bit.

    Getting booed off in Europe by fans who’ve travelled and are well up for it is quite a feat.

    Braga - limited but organised.
    Forest - technically superior but clueless / timid / undercoached / uncoached.

    Part of me is hoping that they aren't really trying, because if this is them trying...

    True, victoria sponge hydrodynamics is not rocket science, but I'd wager it's not far behind... and probably about as dull as this match.

    Well. It's probably the furthest point from a Russian land invasion (another made up fact) so one day, when it's the only part of europe left, it will be the wettest place in europe.

    These things are almost always about the timing.

    Wait until you hear about Black Deforestation Gateau and its effect on flood plains.
