[Football] Who Did You Come To Watch Yesterday

arfer guinness · May 8, 2022

Great to see a full stadium yesterday, but it set me wondering who did the people in the usual empty seats come to see. For me it was Brighton first, we could have been playing Oldham, I would have been there. Then Ronaldo, the same as I would always like to see the greats in the game, then thirdly Man U as per my first point. Anyone disagree?

I came to watch you get in a froth about the stadium being fuller and having a better atmosphere than normal.

I came to watch the Albion as I have all season, HOWEVER, I’d be lying if I wasn’t excited about seeing Ronaldo play at the Amex, arguably one of the greatest players to have graced the game.

That said I was even more excited when Dunk faked a clearance which said greatest ever player fell for, got a booking, then jumped straight back in Lewis’s pocket. :lolol:

I came after the Gross double Cryff turn with a back heel.

Clearly the announced record Amex attendance was purely down to Ronaldo. Very many football tourists, including many of our own. Was this season's Golden Ticket, and unlikely to be surpassed for many years to come. And absolutely nowt wrong with that (says the bloke who's flown into and out of Cristiano Ronaldo international airport and who has paid 5 euros to go into the aircraft-hanger-sized CR7 museum of glittering prizes)

Yeah, pulled in an extra 400 or so compared to Norwich....

I guess we're talking real bums on seats tho eh? :shrug:

Gotta feel for those that went to see CR7.

Just a poor man's Mike Trusson.

The stadium having a higher capacity this season helps.

Tho doesn't come anywhere close to accounting for yesterday's Ronaldo Football Tourism. Neither Man City nor Liverpool visits this season could hope to match the Ronaldo Football Tourist footfall

Have you not listened to Manchester/London based football writers over the your lifetime, Manure are THE world's biggest club?

That would explain the 163 additional pretendance over Liverpool's visit.

I certainly never go to an Albion game wanting to watch anyone from the opposition. Excited to see Ronaldo, not in the slightest.

If the answer is anything other than Jason Steele, just hand over your season ticket [emoji1671]

I didn't go to watch Ronaldo, not a chance, instead I came to see him lose to tiny little Brighton

Curious Orange · May 8, 2022

I was looking forward to seeing Ronaldo, though that was secondary to just watching the Albion.

My Dad mentioned having seen Stanley Matthews playing for Stoke back in the day, so I guess this sort of thing isn't new.

Sirnormangall · May 8, 2022

I came to watch Man U get stuffed and was handsomely rewarded.

Definitely, although I must say that footage of him laughing in disbelief as we put away a fourth goal might be one of my favourite moments of the season.

3rd goal

Delighted to see Ronaldo…….……get owned, fluff a free kick into the NS, fall for a Dunk trick and get booked, shank a shot into the SS and be reduced to laughing at what he and his expensively-assembled bunch of prima donnas were reduced to by a #teamlikeBrighton
