Wow. Haven't celebrated a goal like that for a long time. Incredible stuff. Couldn't be prouder of this special club.

Haaahahahaha
Disbelieving maniacal laughs all round

The other good thing is the team now get a rest and don't have to play/ fit in two extra play off games

 

[vegster]

Marvellous scenes !

After losing the ‘easiest game’ first i feared the worst but boy was I wrong what a team, what a manager and what a club.

JP is absolutely extraordinary in Europe. We would have been Newcastle bottom without him.

Buonanotte is getting better (from his low base) but that goals was all about playing the ball first time from Lalanna. Buonanotte never plays it first time and takes 2 or 3 touches. It fashioned that chance and JP is the man!

I sensed something might happen with Marseille kicking the ball out twice pissing off Gattuso in the last 10 minutes. We played really well and so pleased we got our rewards (could have been different but for the woodwork).

MoM Billy sinking to his knees when we score, JP in the crowd, RDZ in the crowd. Glorious. This club.

What an achievement! From Every single player In The squad to the manager and his staff and to everyone involved in the whole football club! No one can take this away from us and it’s going to be hard to wipe the smile off all of our faces! UP THE F***ING ALBION

Thought JPVH had an absolute barnstormer of a game. Gilmour, Groß & Pedro will get the plaudits but I thought he was equally good.

 

[dejavuatbtn]

More greatness from the Grossmeister! I can’t believe just how good this guy is.

"I'm very happy. These are the best moments of my life. Thank you to my team-mates, they always support me."

"I'm very happy to be top scorer in the Europa League. To be top of the table, in the league or top scorer, you need to keep going through hard work."

Everything's just great isn't it?

As an overseas supporter, I always dreamt of seeing us being regularly included in Prem conversations.
As recently as a couple of years ago, I might have laughed at the prospect of us topping a European group featuring teams of genuine European pedigree like Marseille and Ajax and yet, this just happened.

From Macclesfield to Marseille, from Exeter to the Europa knockouts. All thanks to Uncle Tone, RDZ and his staff and our special, special team

Drink it in, these are special moments for us Albion supporters

« Rien que pour ce maillot très moche l’OM ne méritait pas de gagner »

Just for this ugly shirt Marseille didn’t deserve to win
