UEFA Europa Conference League - Alkmaar, Legia and Zrinjski

Everything that's good and enjoyable in life is because of scarcity.

There speaks a married man…

There speaks a married man with a gazillion kids.

He’s the exception that proves the rule.

Found some good flights to Sarajevo for the Wednesday out of Manchester via Frankfurt. Sarajevo looks class so we're going to stay there, get a train on the Thursday morning up to Mostar, stop there the evening and get the afternoon train back.

Plenty of travel blogs saying Sarajevo is the best place to visit in the region. Fancy a winter snap of the spot where the Archduke got the good news.

Drums at football should equal immediate and instant relegation.

I didnt find anything particularly intimidating about Warsaw. It's just noise and eventually you stop hearing it. There was a real absence anger when we scored or limbage from their main end when they scored as well. As LeeB half joked, its all a bit Fash and there's actually something serious to be said about that.

It's up to me what songs I sing, not some badly dressed whopper in a hoodie with a megaphone and a bumbag.

Yep that lack of goal celebration and just carry on with the song is fucking weird.

I'd agree with that but not experienced it.

I was on the halfway line in Warsaw, on the very top row and had a great vantage point.

I posted on here that the atmosphere was relentless and loud, but utterly detached from the action on the pitch. It’s like they’ve gone on to Spotify and selected a playlist for the game and that has no bearing on the ebb and flow on the pitch. Like a shit DJ not reading the room.

They carried on their playlist when we scored, not missing a beat, which is downright weird. And I felt that when they scored it was like being in the upper Witton Lane rather than Holte level limbs. You sit outside the ground there and you’d probably think they won 3-0.

I was at Boca Juniors in 2006 and it was like Warsaw but more intense in that they were much more crazy when they scored. However they also didn’t miss a beat when they conceded. On the plus point for the Legia ultras, they utterly drowned out the Villa fans who I only heard occasionally, though I could see they were singing and bouncing. I saw a quote from Konsa a few days ago saying they couldn’t hear each other on the pitch. That must have an amazing impact on the team.

There must surely be a happy medium as there are games when English stadiums are like a quiet church.

Lausanne would be a great away trip

Sarajevo's on my list once Istanbul is sick of me.

Was Albania any good? Was thinking of going there at some point.

Still here. Yes, a strong recommend from me. We're cutting our sojourn short and returning to England next week as my mum passed the other day.
