First half we bossed them, driving them back relentlessly, Cucurella outstanding.
Just powderpuff or wildly misdirected poor headers and shots.

If it was boxing the ref would've stopped it.
Being disappointed about getting a point at home to Arsenal shows how far we’ve come, especially with the all the injuries. Well done Graham and team, hopefully the international break will allow us to recharge and come back strong for the Norwich game

He’s thought of generally as a bit of cnt. Villa and Spuds fans scathing of his aggressive style of mismanagement and losing football.
With Danny Mills, he seems completely lacking charm.

If you think how hard Brighton players have to work to earn their money, those arsenal players are embarrassing. Take the money and run merchants, absolutely shocking

I’m sure Auba was laughing when he went off.

Sherwood just doesn't think little old Brighton should be in top 6. Tonight, we showed we are where we are on merit and should of taken 3 points against a pretty average arsenal side on their showing tonight!

Power nap? what are you, three? How could you miss the first half?
A quick summary
Dominate dominate, shots off target. Repeat loads of times. End of half.
Second half dominate, dominate, shots off target repeat loads more times plus a couple of really good linking playups with a hand from arse keeper saves them, end of game.

Very good performance all-round. Cucurella bossed it again, superb signing. Everyone played really well. Although not according to the ****wit meathead and his knobhead son sat in front of me who constantly slated Größ all game. I swear some people just love to have a bit of negativity in their lives. Tw@s.

Not sure I would call any of our chances nailed on bearing in mind the conditions. Great performance and a positive result that most of us would have taken pre match

Good performance and a bonus point according to the "tracker" so we are now 5 points ahead of 40 point safety target.

Burn has to get his header on target.
Illustrated by the astonishing Thomas Partey contract. He was crap tonight.

Probably due to the elbow to his head. Took a lot of whacks tonight but never let it put him off his stride. Fantastic.

We were outstanding tonight, I really don't care about dropping three points, that can happen. What we showed tonight is what I'm taking away from this game. I'd rather we play like that and get a point when we should have got three, rather than nick three points having been outplayed and not deserving it. Very proud of that performance, we were unfortunate, but we were also quality for 90 minutes. Feeling nothing but good over here. Still joint second too, how can we really complain about that?
Well done lads.
Well done lads.

Superb performance, deserved to win. Potter got it tactically spot on today. Some outstanding performances (Duffy, Dunk, Burn, Trossard) but particularly Cucurella who was the best player on the pitch. Good save from Sanchez too, held his nerve on the one-on-one. Mac Allister looked extremely bright once again.
I might've brought on March earlier for Gross, we were crying out for pace on the right flank as the game progressed, but I can see why he didn't want to disturb the balance too much. I suspect risking Lamptey in the shocking monsoon conditions was simply not worth it. One slip or late tackle could've done him for the season, potentially.
Thought Jon Moss refereed the game very well. Let the game flow and took the conditions into account. One mistake I noted was only one additional minute in the first half - Trossard was down injured for at least three in the first five minutes of the game. Neither incident was a penalty at the end there - no chance. Their lad dived, ours was just a tussle that happens every set piece.
Overall an excellent performance and another point in the bag. Very proud of the lads

If he had ever come anywhere near our club the no dickheads policy would have been in disarray.
