Very polite French too, by my limited grammatical abilities?

Great result. I know there is a gulf in quality between our respective leagues but AZ are no mugs, particularly at home. We were incredibly clinical. I think we were slack at times playing it out, gave them far too many chances but we were so ruthless it didn't matter.

In terms of what it means for the group, beat them at home and they can't catch us. Beat Legia by two goals at home and they can't catch us either, even if they win their next one. With our home form as it is you've got to fancy that. Finishing top of the group is huge advantage in missing a round against a potentially tricky opponent.

Apparently there was a kid with a sign asking Diaby for his shirt, and the ground staff took it off him before the game, which made him cry. Diaby found him after the game and gave him the shirt. How nice. (might be video on twitter but I can't access that these days)

I thought begging was illegal? Tarring and feathering would be too good for the little scrote. Then he should be horsewhipped.

And then off to the workhouse, a pox on this scourge

Excellent, controlled performance.

Sorry to add, but what is wrong with the twats at Sky. They surely know +3 is > +1 ?

We lost the game vs Legia so that takes precedence over GD

I’m probably repeating an earlier post but AZ have only conceded 4 goals at home in the league all season - in 9 games.

Your right Chico my friend. This win shouldn't be underestimated. I never expected us to tear them apart like that. They are having a very impressive season (until they met the mighty Aston Villa).

What a miserable fucker that steward was.  Why throw it in the bin?  Good on the club and Moussa for being brilliant.

Making him take it out of his bag to do so as well.

That young AZ fan got his Diaby shirt in the end despite the drama with the steward . A happy ending
And a fan for life in Alkmaar.

On conceding goals BBC website ranted about us conceding 5 goals and not able to keep a clean sheet in the last 5 or so matches. So would that be
1-4
4-1
1-1
6-1
1-0
I’ll take that all season long.
