[Albion] Non-goal highlights v Ajax

[Eeyore]

Dunk's header back was almost the only thing on target towards our goal all evening.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

My personal highlight was finding no food in the west stand concourse just before the game, then at half time having a piss then wandering between to two counters to try and get my pie, then going back to my seat a little bit dejected when I thought it would take too long.

I hope you cheered your seat up.

Dunk's calm header back to Steel near the end of the game and James MIlner performing like the great player he is.

Was it me, or did is seem to go REALLY high up in the air?

The Fannying Around At The Back™ towards the end of the game was great, as was Baleba's cameo and Veltman's willingness to get forward and/or make a run into the box in the second half was entertaining. He was playing like he had something to prove, which, maybe he did?!

The new Phil Jones!

The new Phil Jones!

I, for one, hope he does this every time he scores. I'll be using these ones for describing how drunk I'm getting on a night out

 

[Machiavelli]

Agree with Dunks header back to Steele.
That was one of, if not the, coolest thing I've seen so far this season.

Yes, that probably eclipsed every single one of his chested back passes. I also really liked when Dunk decided he'd had enough, moved out of position, and won the ball back on the edge of our penalty area. I'm sure he did it more than once. It was a little bit like an adult showing off in front of kids.

 

[Bozza]

van Hecke's celebration for the second goal.

All the defenders had a big team cuddle, before JPVH went to join the forwards and then gave the North Stand some big "come on!" type gestures. I can only assume he wasn't an Ajax fan growing up!

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

I enjoyed the randomness of the screen. At one point it randomly came up with "Extra Time" and then at another point "Goal" when there wasn't one.

As a side note i continue to be baffled by Uefa's total control of the screen format and everything else. Especially when it is clearly inferior to what we normally have. You'd think it would be a case of raising the game, not making it worse. Odd.

Annoying to not know at quick reference as to who’s on a yellow

Some non-footballing ones:

Sidwell's chant. I didn't see him, but I guess he was around the NW corner going too or from the pitch at half-time.

The big screen having a wobble and showing 'Extra time' at 43 minutes and then 'GOAL' on around 87 minutes.

The Dutch translation of the Europa League 'keep football fun' message and Bobkin Jnr and I trying to work out whether it was Richie Reynolds doing both of them, or just someone who sounded like him, but a bit louder and more excited.

Andrea 'Procrastination is the thief of time' Orlandi at half time (I can't believe that's the first time he's been back to the Amex)

NW corner with Crouch and Jules

Peter Crouch slapping Sidwell on the back when we were singing his song as they stood in the northwest corner.

[Weststander]

Ajax doing a very poor man’s Albion - passing between their goalie and CB’s, our press, the goalie panicking and passing to Albion players at the centre line. To the usual NS chants of yaaaaaaa shit.

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Milner having a decent game. Sticking together several chains of 20+ passes just because we could. De Zerbi celebrating the first.

Milner, 20+ passes, maybe, but always backwards - reminded me of Dale Stephens ...

 

[raymondo]

Are you feeling better ?

Quality player. Absolute class. One of my favourite Albion players ever.

 

[HeaviestTed]

I hope you cheered your seat up.

He was happy with the result and that I dried him off.

Are you feeling better ?

Yes thank you mate, home with a blanket over my knees playing PS5.

 

[tstanbur]

The new Phil Jones!

 

[casbom]

It was my first game of the season (bad fan), but have they stopped with the lyrics on the screen completely now? If so I thought it's a lot better!

 

[raymondo]

Yes thank you mate, home with a blanket over my knees playing PS5.

Good man - hope the match result helped your recovery
