Last Nights Win - Best Performance By A Brighton Team Ever?

[Beach Hut]

Brighton Vs Sheffield Wednesday Highbury FA Cup Semi Final 1983, no argument, you had to be there. Jimmy Case's pile driver from 30 yards will live with me forever, nothing for me has come close (yet) than knowing my team would be playing in the FA Cup final when the final whistle went. It meant everything back then to reach Wembley, not so sure now, its a very different world.

Easily the best ever for me as well. You should be aware the FA Cup was the greatest club cup competition at that time.

The 7-0 second half demoliton of Walsall & the victory at Anfield in the 5th round of the cup will always be the most memorable performances for me but this team are easily playing the best football since those days.

agreed

Any that Wardy played in were superb. Please correct me if I'm wrong. He just created an atmosphere that was electric..

Wardy had you on your tippy toes or edge of seat every time he went near goal... his conversion rate must have been brilliant... statto's?

Easily the best ever for me as well. You should be aware the FA Cup was the greatest club cup competition at that time.

This - plus Charlton away last year was the best, more recent performance for me....... I've got a feeling that this season could be real history in the making though with many "best games" to come and when we're old and gray we'll be saying "you should've seen the Gus Poyet teams of 2011, 12, 13, 14 etc - now they really were something!"

When? When?

Hmmm

Yes but Peterboro had ten men so that takes the gloss off it a little bit.

Im sure we would have steamrollered them anyway but as it stands for most of the match it was 10 v 11 and boy did we make that extra man count.

I was rather drunk last night to be fair.

Don't be STUPID, we have beaten TEAMS like Liverpool when they were EUROPEAN champions HOME and away. Beating a team like Cardiff doesn't COMPARE

Also we done the double over forest in there EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP season

Christ i would say charlton and peterborough away last season was better although a lower division.This game although superb would not make the top 30 or 40 best albion wins

I rather enjoyed Wycombe 1-3 Brighton in August 1994!

I'm not even joking.........

 

[Mackenzie]

I've been watching regularly since 85 and I think that's the best I've seen us play.

I'm gutted I didn't go last night now. Some fans will slag me off for saying this, because according to NSC law it is the sign of a tinpot club, but I would love to buy the DVD!

 

[Brighton M]

Gus says Peterborough and Charlton were better, as well as the performance at home to Charlton with 10 men

 

[Bwian]

Even Gus in his pre-Blackpool interview today doesn't think it was anything like our best performance.

I've seen Brighton beat Manchester United and City, Liverpool and Forest as European Champions - but the 1983 Semi Final does it for me.

Jimmy Case's shot was utter Brazil.

Dig it out on You Tube.
