I won’t be there on Saturday, but for all the booing I hope there will be an equal measure of songs in support of De Zerbi. That’d show Potter that De Zerbi has done in 2 months what he somewhat failed to in 3 years - gain the affection of the fans.
Before just automatically assuming that strike workers have some righteous cause, what is the average wage of a train driver, does anyone know?
Port workers at Felixstowe were striking a few weeks ago, rejecting a 7 (yes SEVEN)% pay rise and a one off payment on top of that. All I can say is...
Back to the topic of the thread, Ed has done wonderful things for the club and town. He recently rocked up and played a spontaneous free gig outside the town hall in Ipswich, just because he was going there to buy a guitar. He’s extended the shirt sponsorship deal for a third season until summer...
Biggest problem with that is that we do absolutely diddly squat with corners. I get so tense when Albion concede a corner, expecting the opposition to do something with it. Opponents must breathe a sigh of relief whenever we get a corner with our 0.0001% score rate from them. This has been an...
People need to remember that if we had a manager that post-Leicester was “good enough for Chelsea”, then of course we weren’t going to get a like for like replacement as those types of managers would be looking at a Chelsea-type vacancy, not a Brighton one.
The way I see it, De Zerbi is a surer...
Not too worried. Potter was still serving up games like that 1.5 years into his tenure.
Highlights to me how small our squad is. PL allows 5 subs but we really don’t have alternative options to what we’ve got on the pitch since Maupay and Cucu were sold and Mwepu retired. Really hoping Uncle...
Not really sure what all the negativity is about, aside from those with delusions of grandeur from the beginning of the season.
I was a huge Potter doubter for a long time. It took 3 seasons for him to convince me. We’ve lost him - how can anyone expect us to go and get a better (or even like...
Biggest concern when you lose a manager you wanted to keep is that the team will capitulate. The Liverpool and Spurs results are probably identical to what Potter would have managed, so I actually find tonight very uplifting and reassuring that De Zerbi’s Albion can continue where Graham left...
So Netherlands, Hungary, Croatia and Spain/Portugal are into the finals. If anybody needed a reality check about how these games are quasi-friendlies and not a helpful indicator for Qatar, that’s it right there. No way are they the best four teams in Europe.
France have had a similarly bad two...
Fully agree. It’s completely infantile as it’s led most by those who probably gave Potter the most slack and patience when we’d lost game after game in his second season at the club. Yet Southgate goes through ONE bad patch of semi-meaningless games and the whole forum (and media) has become...
