[Albion] 11 cup finals

South East Seagull said:

Any other season we’d be well up for the run in being 3 points off 7th and 2 off 8th, which may get Europe. There seems to be so much doom and gloom at the minute, lots of season petering out shouts.

I know the last few weeks have been disappointing, but we’re comfortably still in the race so let’s treat it like that show the boys today we still believe.

I want another European tour.

Got a feeling the atmosphere is going to be a bit flat today. There's a definite loss of mojo from a lot of Albion fans but the players need our backing for the run in so I hope we manage to lift them up
Come out all guns blazing and kill the game off in the first half, players and fans both need a result today.

To quote @Wozza, when we were talking about things whilst drinking beer and eating pizza outside a trattoria after the game on Thursday night, it's now a matter of:

"All in or don't bother coming"

We need to bring the most raucous and most vocal versions of ourselves to each game and see where it takes us.

You got that right.

Terrible atmosphere.
Hoping there will be a different vibe on Thursday.

Here’s what will happen:

For 5mins after KO, they’ll be a few Albion Albion chants from the North. Rest (away fans a side) will mostly be sat on their hands not joining in except for moaning at any misplaced passes. I’ll be trying to sing in the East but will get lots of stares from silent families and tourists, and possibly a steward to ask me to be quiet because he’s received a complaint. Then Roma will score on the break and (the already poorly attended) crowd will then go totally quiet. By 75mins regardless of whether we’ve equalised or even lead 6-1, thousands will leave early. By FT, and wanting to applaud a fantastic campaign, they’ll be less than 5000 remaining in their seats to give the players standing ovation because you’ve got to get home and it’s nobody’s business if you leave early.

We are more or less out of the tie on Thursday, but we all know the vibe on Thursday is going to be very different from yesterday. We're all fans, we're all saving ourselves for that one.

And who knows - score early inside 5 mins, then 10 minutes later Ferguson breaks the offside trap, gets hauled down by their centre-half who is thus sent off, before Dunk actually scores one from the resulting free kick - and the Amex is absolutely f**king rocking like NEVER before.

It will probably not happen and if it does we'll still probably lose - but if it does happen I want to be in the ground for it and part of it.

Apart from being a miserable post, how difficult can it be to spell "there'll"? I mean it's just "THERE WILL" contracted. And you've put "they'll" twice.

Poor. A post that deserves to be ignored.
