Torino Build Up Thread

[Wolf Hunting]

If we say Pyunik would fit nicely into Division 1, where would you say Torino would be?

 

[The Bear]

Bottom half Prem?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

They were only a few points behind AC Milan. Would AC be bottom half?

This is a fucking decent side.

 

[Tony Towner]

It's a 55/45 call in our favour at best They are better than Watford, Bournemouth etc

 

[The Bear]

I'm guessing if they can finish 7th in Serie A, does that necessarily translate to 7th in the Prem? Probably a bit lower, so upper end of bottom half, maybe mid-table.

 

[YoungWolf]

It should be a pretty good tie all round. Exciting!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I reckon Torino would be a 10th - 14th team in the Prem. This is no gimme.

 

[Alan]

They'd be right in with us, Leicester, Everton, West Ham, and Watford.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Agreed Alan. Probably at the bottom of our little group.

 

[Norman Deeley]

Bookies had Wolves at 20/1 to win Europa and Torino at 50/1. Allowing for a bit of pro UK bias I'd still say that makes us marginal favourites. My big fear is 0-0 in Italy and then they nick an away goal over here. Right now I would take a win over Torino next week before a win over Man United as I think making it to the group stages would be a huge step forward for our club

Who’s making the trip then?

Too short notice to a rearrange people for work for me so hope we get to the group stage so I can go properly.

Will be some loyalty points available for people who wouldn’t normally have a chance of going to.

 

[Kenny]

I am planning to do it. Should be ok for a ticket at 9am tomorrow. Will be checking the numbers throughout the day though to see where they are at.

Hopefully I can get on the charter flight but I think that might be tight now. They were at 70% capacity before tickets went of sale.

 

[Quirkafleeg]

Charter flight is cancelled Kenny.

Charter flight is cancelled Kenny.

The Official Wolves one is. The Sport Options one isn't

 

[The Bion]

From what I saw of their home leg they play very, very similar to us - shape, style, the whole thing. Can't remember us having too many 'mirror' matches under Nuno (though I'm ill atm so brain prob not working) so this could be very interesting - CMs and WBs are going to have to win their individual battles

 

[Kenny]

Shifting Back to the original plan if I get a ticket then as Sports Options charter flight is full.

"Update 16/08/19 @ 12.25 - This flight is now SOLD OUT. If you are interested in going on a waiting list for a possible 2nd flight, please email sales@sportoptions.com. Please state the number of seats you are looking for and provide a contact telephone number."

 

[Johnny75]

You can get flights for £300 at the moment (one change to get to Torino) and you'd have to sort a hotel. But it's a plan C!

 

[Norman Deeley]

Highlights from last night https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52h3PXeyJfY Surely the Torino goalie should have been sent off at the end?

 

[Alan]

Agreed Alan. Probably at the bottom of our little group.

I think they'd make it pretty interesting. They have players that would certainly improve our rivals, if not us. Not sure how deep their squad goes, though.
