Struggling to watch this on an Amtrak train from New Orleans to Chicago. Gutted. I can't actually complain as I'm spending Xmas in New York but why couldn't it have been Burnley away today? Keep the updates coming. I anticipate being a happy fella in the Windy City.
I'll be watching from a sports bar in South Carolina. They have just been educated about who Brighton are and what the Europa League is. I feel like a missionary.
I am expecting a strange line up that will go on to surpass all expectations and send us into spasms of delight. At least I hope so, seeing as I have to set the alarm for 2.45 am on a working day... Come on Albion, get my week off to a great start!
Happy with that given our injury situation. Dunk and Igor looked solid. Hinshelwood was excellent. Midfield passing below par but they worked their socks off. Verbruggen excellent as well.
My Dad always said something about 'beware of Greeks bearing gifts', so I think Dunky should poke their captain in the eye if he tries to give him a club pennant at the coin toss. You can't be too careful.
There is a lot of talk on here about refereeing incompetence. I regularly ref school youth football and that's stressful enough with whingeing parents questioning every decision. I can't begin to imagine what it is like trying to ref a Premier league match with twenty two absolute cheats...
I'm probably in a minority of one on here, but I thought the behaviour of our players was embarrassing after the penalty was awarded. I am sick of players from other teams mobbing referees to try and overturn decisions, so I have to apply the same yardstick to Albion. My Forest supporting mate...
