PPosted ‘high noon ?️ bells’ Thorzday 2nd Octobaa 2025 on a train somewhere in Belgium!
“BEER WE GO!”
This woz undoubtedly wor best away European performance since we beat Royal Antwerp 5-0 in the 1990s in the UEFA Cup! Aalso in Belgium!
The game woz played a Lotto Stadium az Union’s groond isn’t fit for purpose to stage big European games!
The goal sequences were az follows:
17th minute: Waltemade latches onto Tonali’s shot to deflected the baall past the Union keeper! 1-0 to us!
Beer woz allowed into the seated area and I got a beer shampoo when somebody hoyed it when we scored!
43rd minute: Elanga iz brought doon on the edge of the box and the rep points to the spot! Up steps Anthony Gordon to send the keeper the wrang way to double wor lead! (More beer shampoo!) HT 2-0 to us!
64 th minute: Another penalty at the far end from us, this time for hand baall! Gordon steps up again and sends the baall to the right of their keeper, who dives the reet way this time, but the shot iz too powerful az it hits the back of the net! 3-0 to us!
Yet more beer shampoo!
80th minute: Sub Harvey Barnes completes the rout when he iz put through and hits a sweet shot to complete the rout!
For the 4th time in the match, we got ‘shampoos’!
The win lifts NUFC up from 26th in the Champions Leegue table to 11th, which iz good enough for a play off place!
Benfica at SJP next in match 3!
This brief report woz written on a train in Belgium and will be fully updated sometime on Friday when we get back!
