Definitely be a positive if we make the semis. Don’t think SB is a bad bloke by any stretch and if we get a good run it’ll take the pressure of him immensely.
Can’t see anyone other than SA winning it though.
The boat tours are really worth it I find. It is a real shame we don't have them on the last game as the Light Festival begins in December and all the canals are lit up at night.
A lot of it is the fact these kids are promised a professional contract until they're 18 at the very least, some even until 21 with a big club. Of course it's not allowed, but who is going to stop them? Plus having a pro contract with Chelsea until you're 21 definitely increases your chances of...
Off to Lyon and Lille for this. First game up is NZ Italy which I'm really looking forward to. Then down to Lille for Scotland Romania which is more for the pissup in Lille than anything else.
Glad I didn't get England tickets. Thankfully we have an easy group but I can't see us getting past...
I reckon these days Utrecht definitely has a younger vibe! I'm 26 and I'm starting to feel old here! (Could just be the intro week and the flood of new students).
At least we won't have to get a bus to the ground from Brighton like away fans have to in The Netherlands.
You'll be fine as long as you don't celebrate, especially not in F Side as hooliganism here is starting to rise quite sharply again.
Would change the phone background if it's obviously Brighton though, I mean that goes without saying...
De Pijp is definitely the 'hipster' area of Amsterdam away from the traditional tourists. However, I imagine like most clubs, we'll congregate somewhere around Dam Square before the game.
You can't go now without tickets, they have to be booked beforehand. On the day itself though, check in the morning as they do a resale at around 10am local time.
If you're looking for something cheaper, Utrecht is 15 minutes away from the stadium and 25 from the centre of Amsterdam with the...
For those thinking Marseille is bad, AEK aren't a walk in the park either. So much so I doubt there'll be away fans between Ajax and AEK as last time AEK threw petrol bombs into the Ajax end in Athens.
As @orange zeemeeuw said, I think it is definitely a younger person thing to do. Of course, some people don't bother but there's plenty that do and almost exclusively these are from Dutch friends and colleagues.
Could very well be a case of if someone celebrates Carnaval or not. Lived in both...
