Without a ferguson, there can be no Wenger. It'd be like having a Jedi knight when there aren't any Sith Lords
Good. Although I hope someone reputable does come in to save Leeds.
Can't say much about Viagogo from own experiences but I do know they pull tickets offline if they can't guerantee they arrive on time before the game. 99% of them will be e-tickets so you should be fine.
Biggest part of the crowd comes directly to the stadium. But Leidseplein in the centre is always busy with Ajax fans on match days. Lots of bars around Leidseplein and Rembrandtplein. For clubbing Rembrandt/Leidse would probably be your best option as well with clubs like Air, Escape and Jimmy Woo. Bear in mind these clubs ask heavy entry fees and are generally expensive. It's that see and be seen culture. You could also go to something like Sugar Factory or Studio 80. That's better for a night of dancing and less fancy people.
And Ajax fans are open to neutrals as far as I know, just don't cheer when Twente scores because that would make no sense obviously. I myself have no objection towards neutrals attending anyways and I haven't heard about any incidents with foreigners except for fans from opposite sides.
The rule of two, baby.

Should mean admin as well now.
Shame. Couldn't happen to a nicer club.

Should've joined forces and gone after the guy shooting in vertical video
They should've disqualified Bayern and put Arsenal though. Justica.

Yes.
Adrian Durham has kicked it up a notch this week.
Hahahahahaha
what?
It was 5-3 in the dying seconds. It wasn't 0-0, or 2-2 or even 4-3.
Adrian Durham has kicked it up a notch this week.
Durham writes what he does solely to attract clicks from angry fans. A few days ago he wrote some garbage about Sandro being the worst Brazilian to ever play in the PL.

The way Uefa punishes clubs is laughable in general, this is no exception. What is this supposed to solve, really? Won't keep some idiot from doing something like that again. Unless there's actually organized (maybe wrong word, but you know... Actual big groups, that the club can't easily kick out and not just one or two idiots) homophobic/racial abuse etc, or actual danger for people because of violence, they should not close off sections or play without supporters. Instead ban the fool who does it and make it clear you will not have any of that shit again. It's punishing the wrong people.
It's obvious it's just to drive clicks to his article and callers to his radio show.
Still, you have to be a special kind of egotist to happily print the shite he does. No shame whatsoever.
He apologised afterwards and anyway, the game was over and Suarez was on a hat-trick. Any other player would do exactly the same thing including Sterling himself. Just goes to show how deluded Durham can be.
Think UEFA is trying to set a precedent, and no better place to do that at one of the biggest clubs in the world.
Agree the punishment hits the wrong people, but if you are least trying to pretend to set an example I can kind of sort of maybe agree with what they did.

Who the fucking fuck reads Adrian Durham. Lose brain cells just looking at that article. Get it out of here please.

dc pls
Maybe so but you have to start somewhere. It's one block out of a hundred? Not going to have a huge impact but it's a warning shot across the bow to all clubs and fans of clubs that this behaviour wont be condoned. Plus, it's in one of the highest profile matches so it'll get a lot of coverage.
in the meanwhle in zenit
wes pls. bayern is fighting anti social behaviour for years. we had a shitton of campaigns and stuff. it was just two very very stupid people. and as wooden said. it could happen again unless people try to find the real culprits.
Then why don't they?
When that berk who racially abused Benteke at the SoL was wanted, loads of SAFC fans contacted the police with his identity.
Maybe they did. Probably didn't. I don't know what came out of it.

The club let them take the banner in. Can't really ignore that.
Do you really wanna control 75.000 bags?

Not everyone has a bag, but it's their job to check for obvious reasons.

Pls
There are no Mainz fans on the internet.
But seriously, Mainz was different. Klopp didn't sign a 4-year-contract before leaving. A comparable situation would be if Klopp's contract was about to run out and he announced he'd leave if we didn't finish on a CL spot.
I, fortunately, really don't see Klopp leaving before 2018 and actually fear that he could leave us then. And I think that signing the contract until 2018, while it was still running for two and a half years, was a signal from Klopp. After Götze and Lewandowski leaving, he wanted to show "I'm here to stay for a long time", which is very important.
Was just browsing the statsbomb website when I uncovered an older article which seems really rather interesting with hindsight:
http://www.statsbomb.com/2013/08/spurs-acquisition-of-soldado/
Written at the beginning of August, it's a statistical evaluation of how Roberto Soldado was going to perform for Spurs.
Should be a useful article to throw into the face of people claiming that statistical analysis is useless in football (though, technically, any stats guy would also know that one article is a woeful sample size to make a point like that)

Things like that happens in every stadium to every club. Its a public event, you cant impossibly control any detail. Bayerns security missed it, they got penalized and thats fine. A couple of hundred fans are no big deal.
Wasn't the old one still running until 2016? Just another year?
Rummenigge pls
:lol
Haha, old Milan was best Milan. They won basically everything with their 35 year old squad
Anyway, we have Götze, Thiago, Kroos, Alaba, Müller, Lewandowski, Martinez, Neuer, Boateng, Shaqiri, who are all under 27, so the base is set for a generational shift. All it needs are decent wingers. Hazard and Reus are potential succesors. I actually like what Bayern did by securing those young guns.Well, its ok, but Dantes performances lately were as bad as van Buytens, so a new class defender has to be signed.

I guess he will be our new Van Buyren-esque last minute solution once Daniel retires.
Which Milan? Pirlo and co were in their 20s.
Yeah, especially when Martinez plays that good in defence like in the last couple of matches. I wonder what happened to that David Luiz rumor.
Late 20s and many were at the begining 30ies, I'm pretty sure the average age was close to 30. There is nothing wrong with experience, as long as the team works.

:looooooool
Well, to be fair, Bayern used to extend contracts only one year for players over 30. There is something different with club legends like Kahn, Scholl, Robben or Ribery, but the regular guys get only 1 year extensions.
200k EUR per club for this tech is basically 250k EUR more than the most clubs would invest anyway.
Ah, the average means nothing though. We have the HIGHEST age average in Italy thanks to Buffon, Barzagli and Pirlo. Everyone else is in their mid-barely late 20s!
