[Albion] Marseille fans

[Justice]

quite a few black clad frenchies lurking around in the queens road area when I nipped out for my avocado and hummus sourdough ciabatta at lunchtime...

Well I hope you flicked them the finger

My brother has just told me his mate was spat and shouted at by Marseille fans whilst walking about this morning wearing a Mercier (fashion brand with a PSG badge on) waterproof. Early days but they're not sounding like the friendliest bunch.

To be fair we would probably rip someone in a Palace shirt on a European away trip.

As the Night Tsar, I hope he enjoys it's wonderful nightlife, a trip to the Victoria should sort him right out.

surely it should be Night Mayor?

Tbf, they should be flicked the v sign....only the Frenchies & us know it’s true origins.

That’s not Brighton - not a Dryrobe in sight.

I think your getting Brighton & Hove mixed up.

My young lad is on the London Bridge to Brighton Thameslink right now. He reports there are three black clad obviously Marseilles ultras walking up and down the train, sizing up every single passenger nd looking for colours and allegiance, all looks and feels quite threatening. And my lad is a 95kg 6 foot 2 unit mid twenties who can look after himself, if he feels threatened (travelling alone) I’m sure many others will too. Be careful people.

I'm having the afternoon in Brighton today like I did before AEK Athens. A couple of French lads with Marseille scarfs got on at Falmer. Loads along Queens Road just now as I walked down from the station getting soaked. 3 outside Burger King on North Street drinking bottles of Moretti and about half a dozen inside eating. (I had a large double Whopper meal, which was very nice.)

I do think tonight they will be the most hostile set of fans ever to turn up at the stadium to be honest.
Early goal, should cheer them up 4/1 is a good price for them actually to win.

Wait until they get inside the ground and see our Galatasaray style banner made from flames and blood that says..."Welcome to a really rather pleasant place with super (albeit slow) catering facilities."

A Union Berlin fan in a Barcelona shirt v Real Madrid on Tuesday got the expected response from a couple of passing Real fans.

I was just in the food court WCs at Churchill Square when I heard Arabic and French spoken into a cell phone in the stall next to me. I bit my tongue, then pretended I was using Marseille newspaper while wiping myself.

I'm into the less popular cuts myself. Did they have any liver?

Well, that's 6' 4", soft, 55-year-old me warned, then. I'll be taking the bus at Old Steine, but  sans my Euro tee, which I'll only slip on once I'm at fhe Amex.

I'll take it off on the way back, too, since I've heard French spoken outside my hotel room.

This is such weird behaviour from a North American point of view... Boston and Philadelphia excepted, of course, lol.

I took girl to this lovely restaurant when I was in Marseille. She had frogs legs and a chicken breast.....but a smashing personality.

Floor mats are good to go.

Very quiet in Southwick….no change there

Suns just popped out ..just as I’ve finished work

Woe betide them if they try to smuggle any bottle tops in.
