Guest optimistic nit Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Just got back in from the game. Really enjoyed it, very good performance from us whereas they were extremely poor until the last 10 minutes or so when we seemed to sit back. Impressed with Cabaye and Ferguson, both played well. Good game from Obertan as well, although I was disappointed that Amalfitano/Sammy didn't get a run out in the second half as Obertan + Ferguson looked to be knackered near the end. Not to sure about Anita, didn't look great tonight; has looked much better in his performances a right back this season so far. Elliot and Harper were both solid, both made a very good save. Atmosphere in the Leazes was pretty poor and the sound didn't travel from the Strawberry corner. Bordeaux fans were really impressive though, the noise the small group of them created was amazing. We were sitting right next to them, not sure what happened with them kicking off. Seemed like it was just 1 guy trying to pick a fight with another and then a few friends starting scuffles from either sides. Stewards got it under control after a couple of minutes though. Looking forward to the next European night now, feels good to have it back at SJP Also glad I didn't have to listen to Waddle's tripe tonight. Shola will be 'disappointed with the finish' for the first goal. He side foots it in from a yard out? Was Waddle expecting him to lace it into the roof of the net?! He almost missed it to be fair. Nonchelant doesn't do it justice Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 First goal really is great like. Cabaye's ball out to Obertan, his first touch, then taking on their players and a great ball in to Shola, who admittedly will be disappointed to not have done better from a yard out with an open net.

TBG Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Was expecting a scorpion kick from Shola for his goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or..... Cisse is trying to extract some of Shola's powers into him to make him into a better player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Missed the game, sounds like a great result really. Need to keep Tiote & Cabaye fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 So good to see us win in this way, though they were terrible, actually feel satisfied after a win for the first time this season, great result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenham Mag Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 They looked more dangerous the first half with Plasil on. Not sure why they took him off, I was admiring his hair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 The only negative for me was the empty seats, 31,000 is poor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Our first shot today was bang on a minute after the start, some people think Bordeaux were poor, I though that we made them look that way because we played really well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 The only negative for me was the empty seats, 31,000 is poor. Don't think it's that bad. Standard cup attendance. Atmosphere was decent too; wished i'd gone in the Strawberry Corner now - great effort from them lads. Definitely will for Brugges. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Is it not the 2nd time a nude man on the pitch ahs not been removed in the UEFA cup. I thought it was a new UEFA rule dont go near them till the police arrive...then seen there were f*** all police there! There doesn't seem to many police around inside or outside the ground these days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team deserved to have been playing on front of more than 31,000, I can only guess that some might have expected us to field a 2nd team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Did they have the higher tier open? No but they might have been thinking about opening it if enough had turned up because I noticed a lot of stewards in level 7 about half an hour before kick off.

Jack Flash Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Some are paying through the nose on Sunday too. Not surprising they chose to miss this when its at least £40 more a few days later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Some are paying through the nose on Sunday too. Not surprising they chose to miss this when its at least £40 more a few days later. That can be a problem for some but both tickets didn't have to be bought at the same time. I would also guess that we had thousands at the game tonight who don't go to league games so I would guess that we were easily 25,000 down. I'm not trying to knock people for not going as loads will have very good reasons to not going during midweek. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I'm expecting a higher gate for the Brugge game. They are bringing over a couple of thousand I think and it will be nearly 3 weeks since the last home game. Will be even higher if we rightly stuff the mackems the weekend before the Brugge game.

I don't understand why we stick the away fans in the corner of the East Stand and leave so much segregation when we could stick them in level 7 and keep the lower tier for home fans without having rows of empty seats. The club might have to do that if we get close to 36,000. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 We've had the decisions this season, like. Thought he took it really well, actually. The ball in was great but it was at an awkward height by the time he reached it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
