Yes but hes not as quick or even remotely as naturally talented and so where as Bridcutt looked better than most of the arsenal midfield, your boy I suspect would have been treading water against them. I think the Bridcutt v Jedinak is a no contest one. However I am bothered by their pace on...
Thing about that chant was that it was our chant back in 1977, and suddenly it has made a comeback. Far better than a version of something Palace have pinched from St Pauli (?) and claimed as their own...
Living in south east London and mates (with Palace fans), I now know what Millwall fans and Charlton fans told me back in the 90s is so true. And they still tell me now that Palace are the most deluded fans in Britain they always think they are superior.. Having seen enough of both teams live I...
I remember that I was a really young lad at that match. I was also at Bournemouth in 1972,.
Thing is I feel theres an element of glorifying the past. Amongst all those involved were lot of cowards and there was a lot of picking on innocents.
Its not always been a big thing between Brighton...
Christ he once celebrated a goal against us, I gave him grief at the time,but come on get over it. Talk about precious and incredibly sad, anyone contemplating boo him is beyond contempt....
I'm pleased I was disappointed to lose Hammond, Crofts, Murray and Bennett. Dont think theres any chance of Murray returning, but pleased other two are back and would love it if Bennett returned. Also realistically what we are doing is strengthening our championship base with solid signings, our...
I used to work with a Dagenham fan and he kept going on about them selling their strikers and all the time about those non league strikers being reallly good and they all kept being signed away from Dagenham for peanuts. Meanwhile our manager Mcghee kept talking about needing a striker whikst...
He was never going to join us, Huddersfield were always meant to have a much bigger budget when we were in league one, doubt that disparity will have changed anywhere near enough, despite Amex, given the info released from Gus etc.
I cant really see the purpose of this thread, it was obvious when we lost Crofts, like when we lost Bennett and then Murray we lost something of real quality which would be so difficult to replace. We've got one back dont think we've replaced other two, despite the hysteria surrounding vicente...
What a surprise no target man is ever popular with brighton fans, they dont ever respect the guy up front who takes the knocks and specialises in the physical shift. He came into a team who were getting outmuscled every week and added some much needed strength, he didnt initially look able to...
I always liked barnes - number one his movement which has always been excellent, number two his abilty to link play which in the league one title season was key to our success, his ability to get into goal scoring positions and to score goals and then the willingness when he misses open goals...
ITV's highlights made us look lucky, they cut out all our goal efforts. I think that is possibly a blessing, didnt like the impact after all the sky raving about us after first Liverpool game. They seemed to build us up just to shoot us down after West Ham game. Cup is all about result, and beat...
I think everything Albion is just excellent, at the moment. some people always like to focus on the negative and obsess about players perceived shortcomings. Gus I suspect brought on Harley to hold ball and retain possession, and I reckon his judgement is slightly more meaningful and worthwhile...
