[PILTDOWN MAN]

How the f*** was that a penalty?

 

[Hendrax]

doesn't matter. we beat them at home. job done.

doesn't matter. we beat them at home. job done.

Any team that can't keep a clean sheet against Ajax must be beatable!

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

It’s never a penalty. The Marseille player is diving to the floor to head the ball and gets a brush from the keepers glove on the way down.

Unreal

FT: MARSEILLE 4-3 Ajax

Brighton must win at home against Marseille to finish top of the group.

It does matter, because it shouldn't have happened.

 

[Bridcutt]

Win and we get top. Perfect

 

[hart's shirt]

Ah well, we didn't need a handbrake anyway.

@SeagullsoverLondon - have you got your own fan club?

From the BBC....

 

[Vatican Citys No.2 Keeper]

Many mixed reports of what happened Albion fans gassed by mistake, drifting in from outside or gassed on purpose?

100% drifted in from the outside. Was one of the Block 8 Albion fans who hung around after FT for a bit before trying to leave.

Could see outside in a gap from midway up the concourse that riot police were having bottles etc chucked at them by the Ultras in an area near the away end. Heard massive bangs let off then next thing we knew the Tear Gas affects hit us.

Legged it back out into the stands to get away from where the gas was. After that could see it had wafted into the away end by the reactions from everyone. My group all managed to make it into the away end after that and safely out on the buses. Hope everyone else reading this from Block 8 also got back okay.

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

A win.

It's so clear when you put it like that.

Not even my wife, children or mother would want to be a member of My Fanclub!
I took my username without realising there was a group with the same name active in London. I am sure there are quite a few members on NSC, but sadly I have never been along to one of their meetups.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

but second place finish will still see us get to the Europa League knock out playoffs - just means an extra lot of fixtures in February

We don’t need that agro, go for the win against Marseille eases the fixture list, and more importantly the potential injury list.
Go for it

 

[Eric the meek]

I know I'm biased, but we are better than Marseille, AEK and Ajax. We should never have lost to AEK.

 

[banjo]

Before all this started, wouldn’t we have taken this after this stage of games?? Let’s just take a breath.

 

[trueblue]

Brutal tear-gassing at the end, definitely the worst experience I’ve had at football and that makes me so sad as someone who spends a lot of time in Greece

Seems a bit dramatic. It wasn’t pleasant but you make it sound as if the police had it in for the Albion fans when they were using it to disperse AEK fans outside for our safety. Hate seeing all those riot police at games but they seemed friendly enough. If they wanted to be twats they could have got heavier handed with the tiny number of the Albion crowd intent on stirring things up by the plexiglass and netting. Don’t think there’s much cause to moan about them, unless you had a completely different experience.
