[Football] Manchester United or Ajax (or meh)?

[Ernest]

5 teams in the Champions League is good for us as they will rotate on the fixtures either weekend of the ties

The extra champions league money means they can buy another player worth more than the whole Brighton team.

Still, should be fun next season.

doesn't that apply to all the other teams though

Ajax don't seem to like crossing the ball. Loads of promising positions and they pass it back in field.

the dutch management look like there off to a wedding

Ajax need someone to stick a finger in a dike and make national heroes of such types. So they get my support.

 

[Bold Seagull]

Yes.

Digital antenna or cable?

I did a search and it said the Whitehawk Hill transmitter isn't doing it.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

The side that has an ex Brighton player.

Here he comes.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Lovely football, but Ajax completely over play it.

 

[knocky1]

United have won the European Cup, or whatever it's called, they've done so well since they got rid of Moyes. Keep hanging on.

How can you support a Dutch team over a British team, unless you're Dutch?

Because not everyone is a nationalist. And, besides, it's not an international competition.

 

[Perfidious Albion]

What right do United have to claim the bomb tragedy as their own and say they "did it for Manchester "?

Rubbish! They played for themselves, and supported their own club, as anybody would.... Don't try and make capital out of it.
I recall reading that City's ground was immediately used as a centre for information (or something) ... they did not seek self promotion out of it.

are they Arsenal in disguise?

Lots of pretty football but zero penetration.

 

[Brovion]

In the same way our Czech, Spanish, Israeli, Irish, Scottish, German players don't represent Brighton?

Yes they represent Brighton and Hove Albion in the same way as the foreign players at Man U etc represent their clubs. We cheer for them the same way as other fans cheer for their professional footballers (I won't use the slightly pejorative term 'mercenaries' the same as fans have always done since the beginning of the professional era. But they don't represent 'England', they represent the foreign-owned conglomerates for which they work..

they are all brightonians born in the wrong country.

Is the right answer!

have you ever been to Goodison?

No.

horrible lot

Fair enough. I used to know a couple of fans from there and they were decent, but not typical I guess.

at least when you go to Old Trafford

you can have a good chat with the man utd fans on the way home
