"Mitoma is not just able to beat Trent Alexander-Arnold every time he runs at him, he can also write a lengthy essay telling the Liverpool full-back exactly WHY he keeps beating him.
His is a story so very ‘Brighton’ that it actually sounds made up."
I doubt it.
I'm still after seeking out ANY true Albion originality...
"Wake me up before you go-go" is a current candidate but is it original by us in use at football.....?
As noted above, this is not news to Brighton fans but the article provides an excellent summary.
Section from Paul Barber encapsulates his value and how exceptionally good he and the club are at managing their staff and strategy. The unusual responses and messages he gives to Albion fans...
Has anyone else noticed the phrase "piece of work" as being a really annoying bit of corporate speak that has grown in popularity over the last couple of years?
For me, it fits the classic criterion of never having been needed before in the context and now it gets used all the time by people...
Ticket price is a gamble on it being Liverpool and not Wolves.
Misses a rare chance to marginally recognise less-monied Albion fans - which would have been a good thing to do. #BarberOBEOut
MacAllister and Moises Caicedo
Adam Lallana and a ripped up Welbeck
Big Bob saving and Ferguson scoring
The speed of Mitoma and Lamptey jinking
That's entertainment, that's entertainment
A turn by Gross and the ball stuck to his boots
An electric Amex and a pissed up Tony Bloom
Flag covered...
That's how we sung "We Are Brighton" at Wembley in 1983...
Done to death on here, but just one chant sung slower and always repeated, so able to build round all the stands over 2 or 3 minutes, would be a great addition to the Amex repertoire.
Yes. This will obvs help the total crowd along and should make for a cracking atmosphere even if Albion areas not completely sold out.
I guess if Liverpool then it will sell out but if Wolves might be 25K+ rather than full. Cost of living crisis is very real and late January is worst possible...
I don't think you were the only one experiencing an extra frisson of pride during SBTS on Saturday...
I took a moment to notice that I was stood next to my three brothers and we were all belting it out. Having moved to Hove in 1970 we have clocked up over 200 years of going to Albion matches...
