Absolutely this. Really annoyed me when they started having a pop.
The train situation is a NIGHTMARE, especially if you're going to Lewes as on night games there's about 3 Brighton trains to every Lewes train. People need to stop being so self-righteous. The fact that we get 20,000 on an...
I have to agree with you. I'm nineteen but really loath a certain section of the new 17-20 year old fans we seem to have acquired. Saw a group a few rows in front of me at Leicester, who thought it was too cool to wear Brighton shirts, and spent most of the time seemingly not interested in the...
Regardless of West Ham lumping balls into the box, which we will inevitably find hard to defend for 90 minutes, it's about how we play and control the game. If we can't get the passing going, the Hammers could play any style of football and beat us. We've got more than half a chance if we can...
f*** September and October. Watch this again. Puts things into perspective. Would never exchange that day for anything.

You're actually a decent Palace fan, and I applaud you for that. I agree with you too. I really wish I could take myself out of looking at past results more often and look at the bigger picture to see how much of a good situation we're in right now. I think the problem is we and the team set us...
Maybe so, but we haven't. No one has replaced him and a player of his stature/ability to hold up the ball and lay it off is what we need. We haven't moved on as we haven't found a way to not need a player like that.
I wasn't there tonight, but agree 100% with what you said as it's been a problem for us for over a month now.
Really really really want to see Buckley and Vicente start against West Ham. Vicente is class with his deliveries and overall play, and Buckley is quite frankly a fearless bastard...
This. In regards to Murray and the OP, the penalty statement is a little naive. Barnes is a better penalty taker than Murray, and Barnes was not on the pitch. However CMS works his socks off for 90 minutes and once he gets the ball in a bit of space, things happen. But he's just not getting the...
Really think some people on here are being a little naive in regards to the trains here. Whilst it's easy for some people to get back, for others, it can take much longer. I normally go from Falmer to Lewes post-match. On Saturdays it's fine; could not be any better realistically. I don't leave...
As many have mentioned, the only way it works in the USA is because they have a culture of 'no relegation' and therefore their whole sporting system (from high school to the top) is geared around this. In the NFL, there are salary caps and principally the draft to ensure competition. And it...
After watching him pretty much all season (didn't go Saturday, but listened on the radio), my judgement is that Ashley Barnes truly is an enigma. He works hard. It sounded like yesterday he was dropping back to defend quite frequently, and after seeing this against Palace, he does play a vital...
I remember doing this when I was about 9 years old in the first season at Withdean. Why should it be stopped? I heard it loud and clear on the radio and it sounded brilliant. We hate Palace. They are our rivals. Why not express our hatred for them? If we keep trying to pick and choose when songs...
I wasn't there yesterday, but was at the Palace game. It has to be tension. The honeymoon period is over, yes, but we had chronically lost our form this month and I don't think the crowd is quieter because of the results, moreso because of the tension and nerves of a losing streak. Hopefully...
Listening to it online, I'm very happy with the point. A goalless draw is exactly what we needed. We don't need to go spanking teams; we need to be solid when teams try and stop the way we play football. In some aspects, 0-0 is better than a win, as it keeps us grounded and shows the kind of...
I'm not sure it's ever been proven that we've NEEDED Rooney at Finals level. Last year springs to mind where he didn't help us one bit and just used the fans as an excuse for an inexplicable performance against Algeria.
No such thing as an easy group in the Euros, unless we are extremely fortunate.
If England can get out of the group stages, it would be quite impressive and show that the team is worthy to be there, in which case they don't need Rooney.
