It had been about 40 years since the Primemutton had visited Bratislava, Slovakia, and even longer since Slovan Bratislava had played in Europe's premier competition.

Unsure about what to expect, Mutton adopted a very cautious low profile after his trip to Belgrade last season but was pleasantly surprised by the friendly welcome , relaxed atmosphere and good policing.

City made light work of the tie , and there will surely be harder tests ahead. Join Mutton for local food and drink , the post match chat and pint and of course the match day action.
