Manchester United Fans Zurich - interested in getting together?

Hi all United fans,
I'm a Manc in exile in Zurich and was hoping to get together with other United fans to watch games together on TV (or in Basel in December ...).
Please let me know if this would be of any interest to you (and/or people you know) and if we have enough then I'll gladly arrange something.
Looking forward to hearing from United fans soon,
U-N-I-T-E-D,
Max

Re: Manchester United Fans Zurich - interested in getting together?

Hi Maxwellh,
Your name sounds familiar. Is your surname Ouse? :-)
A few red Mancs can be found at the delightful Nelson pub in Zurich for the United games.
It's the only pub that plays all the games (incl Saturday 3pm kick offs). There is plenty of dry non nonsense caustic Manc wit especially with the City fans.
PM me if you want to meet up.
I'll be away for the Liverpool clash on Saturday but will be back for the Tuesday Champions' League game against Orel Fussli or whatever they're called.

Cheers,
HiggyBaby

Cheers Higgybaby. I've been in the Nelson one or twice. A pint of Boddies (or 4) is my guilty pleasure - hope to meet you in there for the game against Omygod Thatsthefunkysht next Tuesday

Re: Manchester United Fans Zurich - interested in getting together?

Hiya Max (will also respond to PM). Will now go to the Nelson for the Sunderland game 5th November. Usually go to Luzern for the matches but now I know about the Nelly, will give it a go. Hope it's as good as the Nelson in Urmston though I doubt they'll have Joey Holts'

Re: Manchester United Fans Zurich - interested in getting together?

I went for the Man U v Liverpool game before trying some of Grumpy's English Cheese... don't know what I was expecting, but in the end ended up standing about watching the game on my own amidst loads of people.

Was hoping for something a little more, where perhaps I can shout "WTF? referee" and have some discussion or banter.

I can't make it for the champ league match today, but if any EF'ers are there in the future would be nice to find someone to grumble with.

Re: Manchester United Fans Zurich - interested in getting together?

As a Citeh fan, it would be good to come along - but as I leave CH for good next w/e I don't think I can spare the time.

And a s a long standing Citeh fan, my faith that we can turn over SAFs boys is not that strong ...
It should be

0-0 and then Hargreaves to score in the 95 min to make Citeh win would be fabulous

Re: Manchester United Fans Zurich - interested in getting together?

Ok - 6 goals at the Fortress will do !
Heaviest defeat since 1955 at OT
Hargeaves will have to wait ...

Re: Manchester United Fans Zurich - interested in getting together?

This actually matches the heaviest tonking in a Derby, which was 6-1 in 1926 at Maine Road.

I just wish Mancini would let the handbrake off a bit.

Fergie is going home tonight to read The Joy of Six.

Didn't we win our cup final last year? And who did we knock out to get there?

Re: Manchester United Fans Zurich - interested in getting together?

Tomorrow should be a feast of football.
1st course Man U Everton at 1pm.
then at half time a succulent London derby Arsenal Chelsea
With Man City Wolves for dessert. Yum yum.
See you in the Nelson?

Excellent afternoon. Man U won despite Everton's valiant efforts.
But the Chelsea Arsenal game was scintillating.
We had 5 supporters if that's what you mean among many Swiss supporters.
Wolves City may be a bloodbath! ;-)

I'm going to be in the UK (down south) so unless the woman who was showing live 3pm kick of games in her Portsmouth pub and successfully defended herself against Murdoch has changed things I won't get to see Fergie's 25th anniversary game.
I wonder if there will be a round of applause at the start of the match.
After Fergie relented on interviews with the Beeb I see no less than 9 articles about his achievement on the BBC website!

Re: Manchester United Fans Zurich - interested in getting together?

Well I gave it a go, sign behind the bar says "life is too short to drink cheap beer" too true at 9.50 chuffing chf's (for a bottle of Jever).

Better than Luzern pickwicks for watching the match though.
