thread for all of us eating humble pie

[Dave the OAP]

I believed 100% we were doomed after the Northampton game at home and we had been playing total shite.

I now accept that with the appointment of Russel Slade the fortunes of the club has turned around and i am extremely grateful to the players and management for this tremendous effort.

I do think that Dick should accept the resposibility for Adams disasterous reign, however this is now the time to move on.

Onwards and upwards to St mary's, The Valley and very possibly carrow road!

 

[SirDouglasLoft]

I think after the Swindon game was the only time I thought we were down, but that only lasted a few hours.

Apart from that I knew we'd stay up

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

I thought that the appointment of RS meant we wouldn't escape relegation. Where is the pie ?

 

[Westdene Seagull]

I'll take a large slice for stating that we were doomed when MA was sacked !!!

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

I was a non believer.

 

[Icy Gull]

I'll take a large slice as I thought we were down after the Swindon game but I was expressing serious reservations about Adams appointment as early as the Walsall game...and if he hadn't been sacked/left we would have been relegated.

 

[Robot Chicken]

and very possibly carrow road!

I wonder if Mr Carrow will be in attendance again!

 

[Dave the OAP]

I wonder if Mr Carrow will be in attendance again!

what a day that was


Delias pies were awesome

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

The last two games, walsall and MK, have sapped so much enthusiam from me. Whats the point? Going down with a whimper, Murray will go, Forster will retire and its 98-99 all over again. Give Brian Horton a call, stick a fork in me, I'm done.

Wrote this a few weeks back. Feeling better now

 

[murraymints4brighton]

After being beaten 4-0 by Crewe i thought that was it... but then the Egg man came!!!

 

[upthealbion1970]

fair play to the non-believers, it shows that despite some heated exchanges recently we were definately the 12th and possibly 13th man today.

I was definately in the belief camp and when i posted at 3-1 down to swindon i was laughed at!!

important thing now is to give slade a contract and free reign over backroom staff and players for next season and beyond.

on our day i truly believe there are no better fans than ours in any league in the world, and i for 1 am always proud to be an albion fan.

 

[tedebear]

I was a bit of a resigned to the inevitable sort of what ever will be will be person, as our goal difference should have seen us relegated, and so on that note, its amazing that we're not... Slade did what it said on the tin, good battler, I hope he can do the week in week out football and or promotion football too, not just the relegation football...Fingers crossed!! Well done that team!

 

[bristolseagull]

Yep yep, i'm munching it by the shed load, f*** it, we have ben shite all season, but Slade has turned us into world beaters!!

I AM PISSED

 

[Twinkle Toes]

You want mash or chips with that pie folks?

 

[Taybha]

was a bit of a nah we wont go down merchant probably just trying to cheer myself up,but after those 12 mad 2nd half minutes against swindon i looked at the table i think i had resigned myself to league 2.

Would say though adversity seems to galvanise this club together,the away support has been nothing short of phenominal in the closing stages of the season,and to be fair today it was a pleasure to be at withdean,cant remember saying that many times.

 

[The Uninvited Guest]

I thaught that we would go down, but thank the lord that I was so wrong. How different it might have been if Adams had not talked him self out of a job

 

[Surrey Seagull]

I'm holding my hand up too. I've never been so happy to be wrong! :yahoo:
Oh and I'll have mash with my big slice of humble pie please.

 

[BensGrandad]

The only time I doubted our ability to survive was after the disgraceful display at MK Dons and this was achieved by simply gettting the players to believe in themselves and playing them in their right positions.

 

[Skaville]

You want mash or chips with that pie folks?

Mash for me, plus a generous helping of mushy peas.

 

[pasty]

I gave up hope after the Walsall awy game. Quite happy now to eat a large slice of
