That Sheffield Wednesday comeback 💥
Congratulations @Brefugee and @Tarkan

Brefugee · 19/05/2023 10:51

OMG! i couldn't believe it when i woke up this morning (had an early start and because i couldn't watch the match went to bed when we were 2-0 up at half time.
Woke up to billions of messages from Mr Bref who is in England at the mo, and have spent some of the time i should habe been working today watching clips on twitter.

But blimey, 29th is a long long way away! (If i could get my hands on a ticket I'd be booking my flight now)

I’m so disgusted by the behaviour last night of the AZ Alkmaar fans who attacked the West Ham fans in the away section. Can you imagine the outrage had that been in England, with West Ham fans doing the attacking?

I saw some of the videos being shared on Twitter, it's awful. Apparently some of the team's families were in the area being targeted which is why the players were getting involved and security trying to take them away too.

I just hope no one was hurt by their awful behaviour. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same ones who had been setting off fireworks outside the team hotel in the early hours of the morning. Envy

AZ should be banned from having fans at European matches for the whole of next season at least.

If it had happened in England they would probably have banned the whole of the PL from Europe.

One of WH players was saying that something similar happened in Frankfurt and nothing was done then either.

burblish · 19/05/2023 16:53

@MustTryHarderAndHarder I sadly agree. Look at what happened earlier in the season when PSV fans tore up seats at the Emirates stadium and threw flares at the home Arsenal fans. PSV had to pay a fine and weren’t allowed any away fans at their next Europa League match. I am certain that an English club would have been penalised more harshly.

DuncinToffee · 19/05/2023 17:00

This kind of disgusting behaviour is on the rise once again in Dutch football, a few weeks ago they had to abandon the Ajax - Fc Groningen match

I wonder if anyone ever gets banned.

EddieHoweisMYmanager · 20/05/2023 17:37

Villa were so close to doing us a solid today. 18 minutes of injury time in total though, no idea where that came from??!

SJP on Monday night is going to be BOUNCING and I can not wait. All we need is one point to make UCL a certainty.

xabia · 20/05/2023 18:15

Yeah- Liverpool were lucky to have so much injury time. That wouldn't have been given last year.
One point for Utd now yay!

YouOnlyCameToSeeEboue · 20/05/2023 19:48

Well, that was pathetic again! Well done City not that I'm hoping you get done for 115 counts of breaking FFP rules your squad were too strong.

Forest, I hope you go down next season you bunch of cheating gits...

burblish · 20/05/2023 20:30

Congrats to City on the title and to Forest for saving themselves from the drop. It’s going to be two of Leicester, Leeds and Everton to go down. Horrible time for fans of all those teams - best of luck.

MustTryHarderAndHarder · 20/05/2023 21:21

@YouOnlyCameToSeeEboue

I couldn't watch the match. How did they cheat?

YouOnlyCameToSeeEboue · 20/05/2023 21:43

Constant diving, blatant time wasting, a blatant pull back on Jesus which should have been a penalty, but then Jesus got a card for protesting. Some nasty fouls, trying to wind up Jesus and Gabriel when they'd got cards. Lots of unsavoury behaviour generally.

I'm not saying we deserved anything from the game, we were awful, but the Forest fans cheered one of their players diving to win a free kick and then jumping back to his feet once it had been given.

MiltonRoad · 20/05/2023 21:52

I'd like to take Everton and Leicester down with us Wink

Oblomov23 · 20/05/2023 22:10

In Benidorm for my 50th. Watching Spurs v Brentford loss, in a sports bar, was painful.

WhiteHartLane · 20/05/2023 22:24

Happy birthday @Oblomov23

I feel Leicester are down and Everton will need to beat Bournemouth, I don't think they can rely on Spurs to get anything at Elland Road 🙄

Nice send off for the lovely Lucas Moura after todays game, my youngest is always watching his hat-trick against Ajax in the CL semi. One of his earliest and happiest Spurs memories Grin

AndNobbyDancing · 20/05/2023 22:38

WhiteHeart my lad does the same, he loves Moura and let's be honest, not much to love at the moment. I didn't see today's game but the boy said Kane's goal was good.

Happy Birthday @Oblomov23 sorry Spurs were a disappointment, hope the holiday isn't. Love Beni, great place for a 50th, how is the weather, my sister is in Mallorca and it is four seasons in one day.

Eboue haven't seen the game but I feel the same about Watford, can't ever want them to win after cheating against Saints.

LetsGoFlyAKiteee · 21/05/2023 00:05

I thought Arsenal would win it really did...but 2 wins in 8...just seem to have that thing drop out of Europe and crumble

Oblomov23 · 21/05/2023 20:50

Thank you Nobby, weather had been very pleasant and Dh and I have had a lovely time.

@WhiteHartLane agree with your ds that the Moura CL semi Ajax hatrick final goal was one of my most happiest memories. (Unlike the dross I'm currently watching).

AndNobbyDancing · 21/05/2023 22:11

Well done Brighton (ha! As if we'd put up a fight) European football next year.

This year has made a fool of some of the six 'Super League' Clubs.

Brefugee · 22/05/2023 05:53

There's a good chance now that someone other than Bayern bloody München will win the league this year. It's all on the last day. Dortmund have to win unless both them and Bayern either lose or draw. Gripping. But - pah - did it have to be Dortmund? (better them than Leipzig i hope)

My lot? a season to forget.

EddieHoweisMYmanager · 22/05/2023 10:15

I am wishing the day away so I can get ready to go to the football… Fingers crossed for a result tonight and clinching UCL in front of the home crowd.

I don’t particularly want us to relegate Leicester but I really really want us to win.

Brefugee · 22/05/2023 18:42

if it helps: you won't be relegating Leicester, this one game isn't going to be their downfall. It's their own fault for being inconsistent. So, much as i liked it when Leicester won the league, if they can't hack it they have to make way for others to have a go.
Good luck!
