I'm sorry but this smacks of double standards to me. If it was a bigger club they'd have got away with it. Didn't Andre Arshavin sign for arsenal after the deadline a few years back,which was allowed by fifa?
He may have played more than one game actually, but who was that striker we had on loan from Aston Villa around 06/7 ish time. He scored v chesterfield in what was Dean Willkins first proper game in charge( think we lost 2-1)? Williams or something like that?
I was also there. I remember the pitch invasion well. The frustrating thing about that night was that I believe they were just one place above us, we were 1-0 up as well if I remember rightly. Tough times indeed. Makes whats happening now all the worthwhile!
Er, could they? How does that work? Thier game in hand isn't till the April 25th. The most they could be by the time we play leeds is 6 points behind.
Edit: sorry just seen they play city on Friday!
Strange isn't it. In terms of automatic promotion, we are no worse off points wise than we were after dismantling Reading the other week. I don't recall many pessimistic threads that night! Still very confident.
I'd find it suprising. I drink in the lion and lobster a lot and I've worn albion clothing in there in the past. Never had a problem at all. In fact if allways found the staff to be quite friendly and polite. Yes they do show premier games but so does every pub in brighton! With the greatest of...
Even though it's chicken counting, the op is right tho. If you look at our record this season against teams in the bottom half it's pretty good. Below Ipswich in 13th there's only two teams we've not beaten this season (villa and brentford). After the two monster games approaching, our last 2...
Best for me would be knocky, Vicente or Zamora (first spell)
Worst for me is possibly Joe gatting! Just frustrated me how bad he was during the mid withdean/Wilkins era (and let's face it we had a lot of bad players then). Also who was that overweight Dutch midfielder we had a few seasons ago...
Never forget that day, I went with my parents and brother (who all still go regularly now). I remember taking my usual spot in the north stand and three were this elderly couple standing next to us. They were wearing balck and white scarves and told us they were Grimsby fans. It turned out that...
Deffo a point gained. Being 2-0 and 3-2 Down and a missed pen for them. We've gained on leeds and not lost anything on reading! I Can't possibly see how its two points dropped!
