Proof we're a small club?

[Brighton M]

Rather ridiculous celebration levels considering we took a Man City reserve side to penalties and by winning all we have achieved is another home game against Derby?

Great result, great night, but a bit OTT don't you think? Pitch invasions, Argus special, billions of nsc threads?

43 million quid worth of 'reserves' , about half of their team that put 6 past Pompey

So no other team in League 1 would celebrate after beating one of the best teams outside the top 4. It was not their reserve team as they had Zabaleta, Dunne, Jo, Ireland and Kompany who all played at the weekend and Ball, Johnson, Ben Haim and Fernandes all squad regulars. How is that a reserve team?

Why do people have to be negative even after such a good result?

 

[Easy 10]

I see the other "miserable bastard" thread seems to have been deleted. I suppose this is the replacement then.

How many times do Brighton get the opportunity to a) play a Premiership side and b) actually beat them?

You have to enjoy the happy moments when they come because you never know when the next one will occur. Good on the celebrations it was a great night for the club.

 

[Tom Bombadil]

Stop moaning you miserable fucker.

 

[FalmerforAll!**]

Um, lets be honest, we had Fraser, Loft and a youth teamer play at least 45 minutes. Not exactly players in the first 11 people would have expected at the beginning of the year, thats for sure.

 

[Brighton M]

Fair enough if it was a semi-final, a play-off game, a title win or even a bloody Paint trophy final win, but really, it's fairly meaningless.

Cracking game though.

 

[Frutos]

We are Brighton that's all that matters.

However it was a FANTASTIC result against some world class players and undoubtedly a top level team.

Why do some always feel the need to piss on our parade?

Its not meaningless if we beat Derby and get Chelsea/Arsenal/Man U away

 

[Gazwag]

Oh shut up you misery guts, what about the national coverage, back of every newspaper, excited kids and first/not been for a while timers. I assume you wont bother getting a Derby ticket then, leave it for a real football fan

How the f*** can a win be meaningless. I think that Saturdays debacle made it even more special.

 

[Paxton Dazo]

Or beat derby then get Rotherham at home then a Quater final HOME tie.

 

[Finchley Seagull]

Absolutely. Then Leeds home in the Quarters and beat them. Brighton for the Carling Cup!

Really gutted I am away for the Derby game.

because we beat the richest club in the world, who played there second most expensive player and a host of regular first team players whilst we were without two of our most influential players in Hawkins and Forster

AND

we won at home

that's why!

Also without McLeod who has been very influential for us in midfield when he has played.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

This result was reported worldwide in newspapers and TV , the mighty Man City (richest club in the world) humbled by the Albion in a cup match proving that real football dreams still exist.

You must be a barrel of laughs in the puib.

 

[1066familyman]

Of course we're a "small club" !....and Man City are now officially one of the big boys.

That's the whole point of last nights celebrations !!! I won't entertain the 'reserves' argument either.

As I said to my 9yr old as we joined the pitch invasion - " Your prem glory hunter mates at school won't get nights like this ! "

I'm proud to support a "small club" and all that goes with it.

I've got a Hungarian adult DVD that specialises in that genre GG
