UEFA Europa Conference League - Alkmaar, Legia and Zrinjski

[olaftab]

I am told by some of my Polish work colleagues that if i were going to be very careful where i drink etc...

Oh come on then ask your workmate to give us a clue, like where exactly or where not?

Going back a few pages, Go Ahead Eagles would be my favourite Dutch team if I could be arsed to have favourite foreign teams. Based in Deventer - fantastic city and where they filmed a lot of A Bridge Too Far - they have one of the greatest football names outside Aston. Their ground is a real throwback English effort and they play in the Melchester Rovers strip. The best place in The Netherlands to watch a game.

The most polite name in football. Always had a soft spot for Den Haag myself.

[Simon Page]

ADO (proun: ahh day oh). You've got to love some of these names. Anyway, they have some sort of link to Legia I think. They also have a relationship with corruption that fits the home of government and international diplomacy. Going against the city's peace and justice image, the club attracts some who like to keep the Dutch hooligan flag flying. The game in that country could be so good if Ajax would do the decent thing and piss off.

For one game every season, Vitesse Arnhem change from their usual kit and wear a claret and blue version. I think it is in  recognition of the Paras and the “ Bridge too Far” Battle of Arnhem. Which is commemorated this month.

[Simon Page]

Yep, it's the colours of (insert number) Airborne. Claret & blue is everywhere in the city all the time. They should just become Villa fans and be done with it.

They could just change their name to Arnhem Vitesse to become AVFC

What can possibly go wrong 1700 Villa fans queuing for tickets in the middle of Warsaw!!

I am told by some of my Polish work colleagues that if i were going to be very careful where i drink etc...

If I were going - and I am not, because I have auto identified as too 'retarded' (no offence meant, I obviously mean it to mean the other thing, not that one, I thought that was clear) to understand how to pick up the tickets - I wouldn't be thinking about where I would be drinking.

I'd be working up a list of cultural sights I would like to see in a city which must surely rival any other European capital, particularly in terms of the darkest period(s) of the 20th century.

I know different people like different things but being in a new city and spending your time rammed into a pub with people who live two miles from you, singing songs you all sing every week together, I will never understand that.

We get all excited about travelling around Europe to watch football (that bit, I do get) but then treat it exactly the same as a new away in some other new part of the UK, except with cheaper beer (sometimes).

Sheesh.

Yeah, bollocks to that.

You find the local town square, get in the fountain, then pavement dance to bewildered commuters.

Now I’m going to be in a 1700 strong queue to get into the Warsaw Rising Museum. Thanks.

Every week we follow,
the boys in claret and blue,
we visit sights in Europe,
from Anne Frank's house to the Louvre

[Brend'Watkins]

Applause!

[algy]

Every week we follow,

from Anne Frank's house to the Louvre

We've seen the Mona Lisa
Michaelangelo's David too
We even saw Manneken Pis
In Nineteen Eighty Two!

Excellent efforts, but a song with foreign words in it will never catch on.
