[Albion] Relegation?

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

It never ceases to amaze me how folk can triggered by a benign opinion. He thinks Albion have made a poor appointment. Time will tell. It really doesn't matter.

We are just enjoying a pile on. Leave us to have some fun, eh? It is the closed season, after all.

 

[Albion my Albion]

Someone thinks we're going to get relegated!

Richard Keys makes shock Premier League relegation prediction months before season has even begun

The Premier League season is two months away but Richard Keys has made a shock prediction for an unlikely relegation candidate

He reminds me of Donald Trump. He thinks he is smart. Doesn't know anything. And he keeps lying to make himself feel good and look good to those who support him.

lol, what a TOOL

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Rory Jennings made the same prediction.
You know him, the one who said Haaland would be a flop in the premier league.

Nice to know little old Brighton are seen worthy of being used for click bait these days.

Harry - he's a Sussex County Cricket Club follower. Do I need to say any more?

 

[Flounce]

Moronic finger in the air prediction at this stage of the close season based on the age of the manager and with no idea who we will be signing or selling, or how many teams are going to have points deductions. One thing is certain though..Albion will not be getting points deductions and that could have a massive influence on how we do. Yes of course we might get relegated but far far too early to call, unless you don’t mind ending up with egg on your face.

Looking at you Ben Foster, the last person I remember coming out with shit like this, what happened there? Oh yes Watford were relegated

 

[HangletonGull]

The day I listen to a bloke who disrespects women as badly as him is the day I give up the game

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

in his defence he is irrelevant.

 

[Napper]

would you smash it

 

[sparkie]

Maybe.

But it is too early to say and the teams promoted into the PL look weak.

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

Seriously, you lot, what an attack on the geezer just because he said some shit about us.

I’m a Scotland fan and had to endure some right old bile on here (see the two “matchday” threads in question)

Sticks n stones

(Anyhoo, I think we’re about 20/1 to be relegated with the bookies so let’s see any of these big mouths put their hands in their pockets….nah, thought not)

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

It is what it is.

In which case Dr Harry's just gone up in my estimation.

 

[rippleman]

I’ve got a soft spot for Richard Keys.

It’s called a swamp, desperate attention seeker with the football knowledge of a Womble.

Oi! Stop dissing the Wombles. Uncle Bulgaria knows way more about the game than that four letter Keys.

Judgment has proven to be Keys nemesis over the years

 

[Guinness Boy]

Richard Keys? You'd have to be over 45 to remember who he is, which is presumably why it's mostly NSC that are up in arms

I mean, I know it's Richard Keys and he's a prehistoric tool of a man, but what did he actually say that's provably wrong?

“Put Brighton down for relegation. What a strange appointment they’ve made - 31-year-old Fabian Hurzeler." - An opinion, sure, but for a top flight team to hire a coach who's only 31 and with only 18 months experience is somewhat strange in the Premier League. Not necessarily a reason for relegation, but still a risk.

“There’s his first problem. He’s younger than many of his key players - Jason Steele (33), Lewis Dunk (32), Joel Veltman (32), Pascal Gross (32), James Milner (38) and Danny Welbeck (33)." - A statement of fact. No idea if it'll be a problem or not to be honest, but it's also not that wild a theory.

“He could lose his dressing all too easily if he gets off on the wrong foot." - Correct (and you could say that of any manager)

“Good luck to him. I’ve said many times that I’ve got a real soft spot for Brighton, but I fear they’re going down the same path as their near neighbours Southampton." - This is a bit lazy, but he's not alone in this thought.

“There’s only so many times that you can go to the ‘clever’ well before you find it’s run dry.” - Another opinion, but to be fair none of us know whether this will work or not, we just (rightly) have faith in Bloom never making a Hyypia-like mistake again.

Have we got so thin-skinned as a fanbase that we can't take a few fairly broad, critical comments from a media irrelevance on the chin?

 

[RandyWanger]

I hope no one paid for his expert opinion

 

[Stumpy Tim]

“There’s his first problem. He’s younger than many of his key players - Jason Steele (33), Lewis Dunk (32), Joel Veltman (32), Pascal Gross (32), James Milner (38) and Danny Welbeck (33)." - A statement of fact. No idea if it'll be a problem or not to be honest, but it's also not that wild a theory.

Are they really key players? I would argue that Steele, Veltman, Milner and Welbeck won't be first choice - and Gross might not even be here!

In terms of relegation, of course it could happen. It's a stronger league this season, but there are worse teams than us - Southampton, Ipswich, Brentford, Forest and probably Leicester (depending on their transfer window) for starters.
