Historically we have spent the majority of our existence as a top of level 3 side. We have not done so badly in these two PL seasons, probably finishing in a similar position this time, given the run ins. Sure some of the PL is a total farce and a mismatch and it's exciting being top of the...
No reason we can't beat City. It'll seem like a final for us, with not too much expectation, a great day out & if we do make it we'll fancy beating either of the other two.
Excited. I hope we can do it. You can still back BHA at more than 20-1 to win the cup which seems too high for a 5 horse race, even with City still in it.
From my vantage point yesterday (deep under cover among Croydon's worst) I thought the Crystals proved a better watch than the Palace.
Bring back Gully's Girls?!
I agree. Both are a joy to watch when on song. In all probability El Capitan will not start again in the PL at 38 but for me he offers more than Montoya & Bong. His reading of the game is awesome & we'll miss his flair moves:bowdown: when he finally hangs up the boots.
Newcastle Huddersfield Cardiff Saints at home ought to yield let's say 10 pts. Bournemouth a possible back-up for more. I think we'll stay up with a bit to spare.
On BBC website: "Brighton reached the FA Cup quarter-final for the second straight season, having only made the last eight in two of their previous 102 campaigns in the competition." The others being 83 and 86 I think.
We must be doing something right ...
It's a pretty ridiculous rule. The risks are minuscule as is the incidence of violent acts perpetrated with bottles. Fans should be allowed to bring water bottles with the top if only for the purposes of hydration & avoidance of single use plastic & unnecessary consumption. C'mon Albion...
On yesterday's evidence:
We are too slow to attack, allow opposition to have 10 behind the ball and we play the same predictable balls forward eventually.
We do not finish as clinically as Chris Wood. We have to take our chances.
Montoya is not as good as Bruno, does not read the game or link...
Don't think we'll be in trouble come end'ut season but we could do with a couple years of morale boosting wins now to ease the anxiety! We were unlucky vs Watford & could have taken something from Man U or L'pool while Fulham was a fail. Probably time to play shit & win.
Has anyone ever watched from the Putney End "Neutral Section" at Craven Cottage? My Fulham supporting mate says it's OK & behind the goal next to the away support, though I see they want £50 for Tuesday's A-list visitors! Weather forecast of 3degC & rain not totally alluring. Ratings please.
