Hughton was sent off in this game. However, this was back in the days when only one sub was allowed and as we'd already used ours, we were down to 10 men too with Gerry Ryan taken out. It really was an awful challenge, done to stop a dangerous break with the ball nowhere near - a deliberate act...
Similar to the Ashley Barnes red card v Burnley. The wrong player went that day, and I think the same here, although admittedly the pictures in the thread is the only one I've seen and you really need to see it at full speed to judge it. Shelvey gets his foot behind the ball and wins it. He is...
I go on holiday to Alicante region mostly - Hercules, Real Murcia, Cartagena and Elche are the local teams, all in the 2nd division currently although Cartagena will be relegated and Hercules will be in the play-offs. Saw a game at Elche -stadium built for world cup in 1982 but far too big for...
mid-eighties, lost 3-1. train was late so missed first fifteen minutes. Score was already one all so missed the Albion goal. Then Steve Gatting missed a pen in the second half. I've been there five or six times and never seen us win there so not a favourite ground
The point I'm making is that people start this sort of talk when we are losing. It's not our bench that's the problem, it's what we're doing on the pitch. It's 6-0 and I'm jet-lagged and in a bad mood so sorry to wind you up!
We aren't the finished product yet and we'll be better next year. It...
also had a Glenn Murray goal at Bournemouth disallowed for offside when it wasn't. we lost 1-0 and I'm pretty sure Howe was still in charge. Howe does seem to have a bit of luck against us.
Mind you, I think we beat Bournemouth at Withdean a few years ago and I think Eddie Howe may have scored...
Mattock has been very solid over the last few weeks, although like a lot of players, struggles against a quick winger.
Still a bit annoyed with him about the handball at Doncaster. Like Dunk at Pompey,its a really stupid thing to do, and the dropped points in that game and against Forest in...
I'm in Orlando on hols but I hate matchdays. Cardiff 0-0 with a minute to go..Not in my seat in the amex with my two boys... it's going to be a LONG couple of hours,
Come on you super seagulls!
Hove Born and Bred is right on all of them although its not a clear shot of Steve Penney middle bottom and middle top I think may even be Gordon Smith.
That's the 83/84 kit without the horizontal stripes and he was still with us then
Anyone who thinks its quiet at the Amex , well, you're never going to be easy to please if you really think that. The atmosphere to me is always fantastic and the close season will feel SO long without an Amex fix. It's going to be quiet for some spells of games, but generally, there's plenty...
Barnes had a good game today, based on two goals and a really good defensive performance. He isn't the quickest, and he had the chance to play CMS in with a ball behind the defender which he overhit. Mr Meola above was nearly over the barrier when Ash did that! He's young, and doing the job...
Nothing wrong with being myopic. 20,000 people shouting at the ref for a pen might well influence him. It's called home advantage, and if it gets us a few more points in the season, then we've played our part! Better than shouting at our OWN players which can also influence the outcome and lose...
Non-Restricted View Seats - alledgedly
I was in row 32 in block 124 - these were not restricted view seats and cost £30 what a joke! as others have said, its like looking through a letterbox. I went down the front to try and find somewhere where my two young kids could see better, but it was...
