[Albion] Potter was a terrible coach at Swansea too

[vagabond]

Anybody who moaned about Sami Hyppia and Mark McGhee were acting self entitled, as we are Historically a League 1 team. I also stood at the Goldstone ground supporting Brighton when we were 12 points adrift in league 2. So moaning about anything above that is being entitled.

Well I was there. I saw us play under Liam Brady, and met the man some years later too.

And there you are again. Sitting on the sidelines waiting to pile on. My little follower, quite sweet really.

Don’t be weird and don’t flatter yourself.

Discussion? LOL

Yes, discussion... What part of that don't you understand?

 

[vagabond]

Discussion? LOL

Yeah exactly right?

“Hopefully the end of Connolly”

Great discussion bud.

Try living up to your name it’s more of a copy and paste job

So bearing what it was like back then, do you think that anyone who moans about a Brighton manager who is managing us above league 1 is acting entitled?

Great discussion bud.

I was referring to the thread title... I personally don't agree re: Connolly, but the poster has every right to add their personal thoughts, regardless how much you or I disagree. It's called democracy and freedom of speech.

What has that got to do with anything I said in this topic old boy? I’m careful with my words read up.

I was at the goldstone a lot as a kid, i do vaguely remember murmurings, especially on Hypia. But it seems to be a different level now, maybe it’s the PL. I was Hughton out, but reluctantly so as he was a good man doing his best for the club. Clearly Potter is also of that ilk, so i don’t think he deserves this. Especially given his personal tragedies last year. And the topic title on Connolly was disgusting.

I just don’t like the hateful tone from some here. I think it makes us look very petty and pathetic as a fan base and as humans to be honest.

Interesting your pro Potter and can’t wait to mention it on every thread possible yet wanted our best ever manager in last 40 years to be sacked after half a bad season. If you carefully study the time lines of that particular season we were doing ok until Jose picked up his injury during the Palace demolition. We could no longer counter attack with pace and lost our way a little. Also heard CH didn’t want some of the signings either that’s for another day though.

 

[Albion Dan]

Isn't that the whole point of a football discussion forum? To have different views on the team and manager and create discussion? Who are you or anyone else to dictate what is said and not said as long it's legal and creates a reasonable debate?

Really do wonder how some of you get by day to day.

You’ve nailed the snowflake demographic in a nutshell.

Trust me Hyppia and McGhee got it much worse.

Me too but because we were utter toilet at Gillingham (that first season there was even worse we were just very lucky to have Doncaster) that means we can’t have an opinion on what is now a £100m+ per annum Premier League club and express dissatisfaction at the managers currently very poor performance?

Sometimes the hateful idiocy feeds the urge to redress the balance.

And I remind you again that I merely wanted the title changed.

you take umbrage with me, but not the op, ok

are you trying to dictate what i type on this board?

i really do wonder how you whiny little tarts get out of bed each morning, constantly blubbing about the same monotonous non-issue and when challenged you get super defensive and start sobbing again, try some talc in your knickers

Ok, sorry. You replied to my message and I carried on my line of thought.

I'm all for a reasonable debate, it's just some on here take it a bit to far, that's when it doesn't get reasonable, it turns into name calling and arguments.

It's Tony Blooms club, it's up to him what he does. Maybe we should be saying that he must sell up as he won't sack his under performing manager.
Just think how many points as would be better off had we sacked Potter and replaced him with Big Sam, like many on here wanted.

it's not very poor, compare it to hoofball hughton. you would be more persuasive if you backed up your opinions with facts, not bullshit

I’ve not really paid much attention to you before. But you are a right old cock aren't you.

Also sounds like you got taken to the football as a kid but then ****ed off for the withdean years and returned at Falmer if you cant remember the abuse that Mcghee got given.

People are entitled to an opinion regardless if its different to yours ‘old boy’. If you dont like it, dont read it or better still **** off.

Chris Hughton under whom we had two absolutely wonderful seasons in the Championship playing free flowing high scoring football? Hughton who then took that Championship team plus a couple of cheap unknown imports and kept us up easily whilst beating a strong Man Utd and Arsenal along the way? Yes it went wrong in the end but you need to have a word with yourself. Potter has achieved absolutely nothing in comparison to Hughton.
