Footballers don't like playing for a cunt?
I thought we battered them in the second half. If we had a cutting edge up front we would be a few goals up.
Ajax were also guilty of being pretty dirty in their challenges as well as trying to waste time. They are not a great team. They have their moments, but their strength is that they know their limitations. We'll fuck them in Amsterdam. I'm confident after what I watched last night.
The media reaction has been pitiful. It's amazing how the English media is essentially supporting a Dutch club against one of its own. Mental.

Wishful thinking and all that, but you are correct, he won't play in Amsterdam.
Upper East?
No mate uppper north.
Not really, they loooked pretty comfortable for the majority of 2nd half.
There was clear gulf of class, they had a working game plan and their midfielders were creating clear cut chances whilst ours looked like they were fresh from League One especially Alli and Wanyama.
Battered them with one shot on target?
They will be under massive pressure to perform in front of their own crowd
Keep it tight for the first 20 minutes and we can pick them off
They need to fuckin get there act together. We knocked out the favourites and arguably the best team in Europe only to be beaten by a previous what....100/1 outsiders? Fuck that, we'll sort it next week.....
Its only certain clubs they turn against.We are one of the ones they don't like or certainly don't champion. A nationwide media should be equally supportive of all teams from the country they are in.
Sadly it isn't the case with our press.
Is it the same in Scotland?
He doesn’t cope well under pressure but knows the game nearly as much as Blakey
I'm sure this has been covered since last night, but my overall feeling following last night is just... hope for next week, really.
Already playing with one hand tied behind our back without Sonny - doubly so without Sissoko starting. The fact that the rest of our players (Eriksen, I'm looking at you) also decided to underperform on top of that made for painful viewing.
Jan's injury (though he should be back next week) possibly a blessing in disguise as it demonstrated that four at the back is the way to go to try and bring this Ajax team down.
In some ways, we were lucky to keep the scoreline down to 1-0 at half time. Considering that Ajax have won their previous ties by winning away legs 4-1 and 2-1, I'm left with some optimism. Bring back Son, start Sissoko, and play a back 4... we might just surprise them in Amsterdam.

Indeed, the lack of cutting edge I mentioned, you selective cock.
I bet I'm a better footballer than you, but it wouldn't make any difference, I'm probably a better footballer than Mourinho but he's won fucking everything, it proves nothing. You don't have to be a good footballer to understand football, and you can be Maradona and be a fucking shit manager. It's a fucking stupid comment from a stupid cliche'd mindset.
In case you didn't notice, one of the reasons we lost that game was by surrendering the ball completely for the first 30 minutes (it wasn't the only reason obviously, the structure and some components of the side were bad too).
The only way we got back into that game was by - putting an extra body into midfield, pressing them better in midfield and forward areas and getting more control of the ball, to do that we need players that actually want to receive and move the ball - and broadly speaking, this is how we play, this is our ethos - therefore "seeing the ball" may seem a pointless observation to you, and if players do inane or limited stuff with it it is, but it's not like Rose have ever been clever or productive with the ball, and certainly isn't as clever with it as Trippier generally - and last night was just another example of this.
And I could equally question you bullshit "Rose smashing into tackles" comment demonstrates you are the one that doesn't really have the capability to value substance over appearance, once again, Trippier actually tackled (and intercepted) more than Rose (more than anyone in our team in fact), but when your face don't fit it's "smashing" that counts eh?
I'm on record as saying I'd happily have seen KWP or Aurier given a run of games instead of Tripper, who has not been at his best this season for sure, but some of the criticism and scapegoating he gets compared to the lionising of people like Rose is fucking laughable.
And the same with Eriksen, he wasn't great, In said that elsewhere, but at least he never hides form the ball, he moves into space to receive it more intelligently than most, and he is still, by a country fucking mile, the most likely of any of our players to do something intelligent with it.
Worse mate, our press is anti-scottish
There were few at Upper East, security were called when they scored, not sure what happened....
I would prefer it if Harry saved himself for the final
Huge mistake posting that on here mate
