I was at that game too. I live pretty close to Hartlepool and I go to a few of their games when I can't watch the Albion. Whenever I mention that I'm a Brighton fan, the above is mentioned. (Bas is clearly the obvious vote in this group too though).

I love the bloke, he is about as far away from the accepted definition of flair in the context of this competition as possible.

Cannot believe Calde has progressed out of this group. What are people THINKING?!

It was Alec Stewart, I’m fairly sure. Presuming his announcement today promoted the question!

It’s a yes from me.

That's awful. I'd have had to try very hard not to hit the bloke with a massive stick.

I was speaking to my Dad and my Uncle who are in their 70s now and watched Lawro throughout his career. Independently, they both put Mac Allister ahead of him in terms of first name on the team sheet for an all-time Albion XI. Can't say I disagree really. I doubt we'll have another player who...

My two dogs are 11 and 10, and I'm already dreading the time when it comes. I'm not sure I could really cope with being there at the end, if it requires them to be put down, but I also know that I'll absolutely get over that and be there for them as it is the least they deserve.

It's like Mary Poppins winning the horse race because all of the other riders saw who is was and just drifted out of the way. It would have been really interesting to see how Vicente would have done had we signed him as a PL club, where defenders might not have been so thrown off guard by his...

Vicente's slaloming run against, I think, Derby where he beat seemingly their entire team about 3 times before smashing the ball against the bar pretty much sums him up as a flair ICON. If you throw in the fact that he basically didn't train at all when he was here, yet was rolled out onto the...

I think where I am is that our fanbase, like pretty much every other club's, ebbs and flows. Having a thread specific to adding positive points implies that the majority of the other stuff being posted in negative, and therefore there needs to be a counter-balance in place. It is something...

This. Tanno is the logical choice.

Do you have IBS or similar? 4 or 5 per day seems a lot, but who knows. Poll results will be interesting.

Fair comment. I meant in the context of flair players traditionally flattering to deceive.

23?! Out of a STH and membership pool of probably 30k?

It was Reading away, for sure.

I’ll second Molango. Scoring one of the fastest ever goals in the EFL, and then essentially nothing else.

Ali Mac is the most anti-flair player we’ve ever had probably. Someone who truly excelled on the pitch, lived up to their full potential and created no drama or controversy at all.

FWIW, I’m with you. It is a very hyperbolic thread title. Football team loses important football match and fans make rash comments in the heat of the moment. It was ever thus.

I'd step into the vacuum and get it done!
