snakehips 0 Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 (edited) I have to say I really enjoyed last night. It wasn't the prettiest of games but it was non-stop most of the time. Credit must be given to Vigo. When they scored, I thought they would just get 10 men behind the ball and shut up shop, but instead of getting all negative they continued to play the same way which allowed us a bit of space to take them on. Did anyone notice the number of police was the same on both sides of the Vigo fans up in Level 7 ? This means that the polis thought there was an equal chance of trouble from Cath and Phlegmill as there was from the massed ranks of the Toon Ultras I don't know what that says about either party, though Yeah, for a european game, I enjoyed last night. Bit of a hoarse voice this morning though, from singing. Edited November 24, 2006 by snakehips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1205 Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 One thing I noticed was how nearly every one of their passes was along the deck and easy to control whereas most of ours seem to be bouncing at the player who receives it.

Gemmill 42648 Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 I thought they looked really ordinary. I expected a lot more from a team in the Spanish top flight but they looked like below-average Premiership fare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe British teams are coming to the fore again in europe?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but who won? And who is top of the league? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themags 0 Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 It did seem there like there was a ridiculous amount of police there last night, considering the very few travelling fans. Fair play to the Toon Ultras or whatever they are calling themselves these days could hear them through out the match from my seat lower down in Level 7. Although the "Shearer, Shearer" thing was a bit crap even if he was in one of the Milburn boxes and "Stand Up and Support the team" sounds a bit shite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 42648 Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Is that why they were chanting Shearer's name? He's got his own box there though hasn't he? They want to pack that in though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe British teams are coming to the fore again in europe?? Naah. I'll still put money on a Spanish club winning the Champions League & UEFA Cup...again. They don't start performing until the business end of the competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but who won? And who is top of the league? True but just think how much better we would be if we could pass the ball properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
