[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs AEK Athens *** Official Match Thread ***

[MJsGhost]

Does anyone know, does it go to extra time and penalties if we're drawing tonight? Been a good while since I watched the Cup Winners Cup. Cheers

Golden goal?

Beer in our seats?

So is it true that their 2 first choice centre backs and striker are out injured?

Vida, Moukoudi and Levi Garcia?

 

[Oscar]

How this isn't the cover for tonight's programme I don't know but at least it's a free "giant poster" inside. Might have to try and grab one early.

If you want a terrific pre match listen this weeks Albion Roar features @attila but also Sotiris Kapnis who is a AEK fan and is really good at talking about the history of AEK, their chances tonight and also the power of football to bring people together.
John met Sotiris because he's doing up his kitchen !

This is a really interesting thread, was surprised by the amount of love for The Who, and how they were looking to enjoy listening to them while sitting on the beach today. I always thought Quadrophenia was a niche, indy film, but it seems to have made an impression on our Greek friends.

Sorry for the intrusion, I introduced myself in the other thread, thought I could provide some translations and insight.

Basically some on the forum are saying that the more important game is the one on Sunday against Panathinaikos, others are hoping that we don't cop 7 or more as that's the score Juventus put on Olympiacos and we have reminded them ever since. Anger towards management due to not signing a 4th CB in time...

Greeks don't tend to be optimistic in the best of times and it's fair to say that the majority can't see any hope especially with our 2 main CBs out leaving us with a shaky 3rd choice and most likely our DM playing out of position.

Even I a born and raised Aussie can't get myself into any 'she'll be right mate' attitude for this one, but who knows maybe one of the gods I've prayed to this week will help out...

And yes the Greeks in Greece pride themselves on being different and niche with their taste in music and culture, you'll find they're into all sorts of weird stuff...

Anyway enjoy your first Euro experience lads! Happy to provide further translations if needed

Yep Vida and Moukoudi our two CB's are out, Levi Garcia is our first choice striker he missed the weekend derby against Olympiacos but he is in the squad for tonight's game.

Just had a mooch round Brighton on my lunch break. There were a few AEK fans at the King and Queen and a lot of police outside but it was generally pretty quiet.

 

[Oh_aye]

I'm excited. Is it too early to head to the ground?

That's how I feel. WFH today so literally just clock watching. I may go for a run to get some relief.

I've emailed the club, don't worry.

 

[NorthLainer]

Hearing completely unsubstantiated rumour Dunky is out injured tonight. Hope not for his sake on this historic night.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

The games I suppose is on TNT which doesn't work abroad on my sky account and Turkish TV aren't showing (only 2 they are not showing!) Anyone got other suggestions?

Is travel included on the euro tickets?
