I think we were a bit unlucky and then foolish here, not terrible. But it would be nice to be a bit lucky in the next few games.

Think you'll find we've had loads of luck this season

 

[redoubtable seagull]

That's right. Expect an appeal.

Two yellows. No appeal.

 

[Sheebo]

Typical result maybe, but not a typical performance. Despite the score, I have actually quite enjoyed it.

I felt the same in the Burnley match. I think we’re slowly progressing in this league now and new signings starting to bed in. No dramas. Keep he faith.

 

[One Love]

Two yellows. No appeal.

Even for mistaken identity?

 

[Weststander]

This will come, I'm sure.
It's only 1.5 PL season so far

I do agree. We must stay up next May to make that happen.

 

[Sheebo]

Think you'll find we've had loads of luck this season

Certainly had some earlier in season but it’s evened itself out since Stephens red at Cardiff and we’ve had some really shit luck since. But yeh, pretty even overall.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

We rather bollocksed up that second half didn't we? Lost midfield and when we did get the ball we put in a succession of very poor crosses. Stupid, rash tackle by Dunk - we've not seen that from him in years - rounding the game off. Too bad we couldn't have combined the first half with last weeks second half...

And Palace beat Man City away to cap the day. I imagine the pricks will be allover the board tonight. The *****.

Palace could be above us when we kick off v Arsenal

 

[One Love]

Think you'll find we've had loads of luck this season

Not recently, including loads of offside goals against us.

 

[Mackenzie]

Same old story at Bournemouth for us. Only surprise was Hoops not refereeing.

 

[Sheebo]

I'm a bit confused. Just seen Palace beat Man City... gutting. Anyway I digress. Confused. I have just watched the Plucky v Brighton match live and Dunk was booked for a Bissouma foul before being sent off? Please someone put me right.

Nope that’s true. Booked the wrong player and he now misses Arsenal

 

[Weststander]

Ha ha far from it, totally the opposite.

1 game of being more upbeat proves nothing, lets talk after 10 games.

If Hughton has the bottle.

Gamble with our PL status?

 

[GT49er]

Is Duffy back for the arse game?

No. One match ban.

Unless we can appeal the first yellow on grounds of mistaken identity - which I don't think we can. Even if we did, the 'Brighton are not allowed to win appeals' rule would come into play

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Mike Dean strikes again?

I watched it live and wondered why Dunk had been booked, but then a little later the commentator said he'd been booked for the foul. I was more than confused. Mike Dean is a c*nt, it is confirmed.

 

[sir albion]

Do you think that they have some superior players too?

Yes they certainly do and a far superior bench

 

[Sussex Nomad]

We were going to go 4-4-2 with Andone and Murray paired up front. That changed our whole outlook.

Easy to mistake Dunk for Bissouma I guess .

 

[maltaseagull]

Ok, new hate figure is that little s*** brooks. He falls over more than that part time ivorian....I hate him

£11.5 million versus £15 million for Locadia?

Seems a bargain!

Gamble with our PL status?

Not against the big boys, but the others, why not?

I would rather see us creating and losing to defending and losing.

I really don't see it as a gamble.

 

[GT49er]

Nine points clear of the drop zone as we reach the halfway stage. I'd have been pretty happy with that when we started out in August.

Are we only playing 36 games this season, then?
