Interesting, as didnt Albion change their nickname from Dolphins to Seagulls?
I am also aware that you consider many other teams to be tinpot, obviously starting with the Sheffield Massive
Just curious why Steele played in goal last night. Were you completely taking the p*ss and resting players for the Cup game? I think we got off lightly with a 1-0 defeat, especially after we didnt score in the 1st ten minutes, and the ref decided not to send Doucoure off twice. We were a bit...
Based on what? Southgate doesnt have an anti Brighton bias based on his Palace connections, but he does have big club bias, and definitely has his favourites such as Maguire and Sterling.
OK, OK, I have read the report which exonerates all involved. I personally dont sing anti Dunk songs, because I have been falsely accused of all sorts by my ex, but we do have a collection of fans who will believe what they want, in the same way as all clubs have, and sing songs that are...
I've answered the Dunk question, and I can assure you I havent made stuff up. Paul Nixon died as a result of a clash between Palace and Man U fans where the tension was high as a result of Cantona jumping in the crowd, and the hero-worship that their fans gave him. Previously, neither set of...
We all know why a bunch of Palace fans sink about Dunky. He plays the pantomime villain role in the same way as Wilf does for us. Only Lewis and those present in the room know what happened, but Palace fans believe that there may have been more going on than has been proved. Is it any...
Its not hero worship like the songs you like to sing about another team's player
If it were about one of your own players it would still be distasteful, but the fact its about a player and an incident that had nothing to do with Brighton is just wrong. Still, if the cap fits, wear it.
There's no doubt that the Cantona incident was a major reason behind the trouble at the semi final that led to Paul Nixon's death. Before then, Palace and Man u were pretty non-plussed about each other, but that moment created a real bad feeling between the two clubs. Idiots singing about...
The tit for tat started when BHA and Sussex Police decided that a full 3,000 of Palace fans was way too much for them to deal with, so its stayed at the same stupid limit ever since. At selhurst there was just a tarp over the empty seats. Seems such a waste, although given some of the...
Yesterday was tough but kind of what I was expecting although would have liked a bit more commitment from some of our players. Thought Hughes was outstanding until he went off. Was impressed with BHA apart from the finishing. We had one shot on target which was the goal
Couple of thoughts...
I remember well giving notice to Brighton as rivals, but I also remember we couldnt find another club that built the same mutual dislike. As long as both sets of fans realise its' not a derby, but a rivalry built on the famous Alan Mullery. There have been memorable good and bad results for...
Ah the New Stand! Well we do now have everything in place, apart from possibly the money ;). If only we had a mega wealthy fan who could bank roll a new stadium for us, without wanting anything in return... What? Jealous? Me? No...
