[Albion] Tickertape reception in honour of Alexis

[papajaff]

The Maracanã Stadium in 1978 is our aim.

Maracana? Wasn't played in Brazil.

You mean the Estadio Monumental.

Don't want to put a downer on this but won't it look as stupid as the Cucurella wigs if he leaves in Jan!!!

Reckon he’ll walk on the pitch for some kind of presentation before the Arsenal game, but probably won’t play.

I agree - he'll be given a couple of weeks rest so might be back in the country for the Arsenal game but don't think he will play again until the Liverpool match.

It's not just the physical side but the emotional side of things the club will be monitoring as he will be coming down from a massive high and also bound to be loads of speculation about his future.

Agreed ..one game you think he definitely won’t play in is the FA Cup tie
“What gaffer, Bro away”

I'm happy for Alexis but not Argentina. As a footballing nation I don't like them - and neither apparently do they like us according to recent news reports.

I'll give the ticker tape a miss until England win it (again )

How can the moment have passed when he plays his first game after winning the WC? That is the moment.

Judging by what's been reported, that won't be until after the Arsenal game, so his first game back will either be at Everton on a Tuesday night or Middlesbrough in the cup!

France in the World Cup followed by Boro in the FA Cup.

Talk about back to earth with a bump.

Alexis comes across as pretty quiet. Looking at the videos of the celebrations he's not putting himself up front and centre. I'm sure he'll be happy with a quick clap and then back down to the day job and won't rush any decisions. He's not Cucurella, running off after the first (or second) big wage packet. IMO.

Change the NS flag for the Arsenal game (or whenever his first game back is) to one of Alexis in Albion shirt with the World Cup.

Ticker tape. So messy. Not great for the environment, has to be cleaned up by someone. Forget about it. Some nice applause will be fine!

Recent news reports ?? They've despised us for decades!

 

[Weststander]

They appear to hate The Netherlands most of all.

 

[Eeyore]

It's a shame Albion aren't away on a Tuesday night at Bournemouth for his first match. Just to let him know that his Qatar experience will just continue forever.

 

[Bold Seagull]

and people wonder why we don't create great atmospheres or have a song for every player...

I remember that. Argentina lost 1-0. I don't think the referee got the memo.

 

[zefarelly]

He will be getting one in Buenos Aries (sp?). I would save a celebration until he scores or assists for US rather than Argentina. He is one of a team not the one man. Hopefully the lad’s friendly banter will bring him back to Earth on his return.

This

we do not need a new Maradonna. . . . He 'comes down' in his own good time, and rejoins the club/team.

or we rinse chelsea for 100m and he can do a COnnolly there.

hoping for the first option obvs.

 

[zefarelly]

Good plan, let's wait for new Year's eve at the Amex, when a full house of Albion fans can welcome back Alexis, and welcome in the new year, all in one go.

Full house? NYE? @ the Amex? Are you pissed already?
