[Albion] AFC Bournemouth vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

He's 19 and only been with us 9 months. Obviously you must have become fluent in your second language in a fraction of that time. Maybe you could offer us up some insights as to how you did it?

English is his third language. Spanish is his second. He speaks a Paraguayan language called Guarani at home. That's all his parents, who are from the country, speak.

I guess there are some Brighton fans who have never been outside UK.

If Brighton play in Champions League next season, Brighton can make some fans fly abroad for the first time in their lives ?

I've heard tell that some people never leave Croydon - imagine how they must feel.

Wow, my brain rejects all notions of a 3rd language. When I try and remember my high school French all that comes out is Japanese.

From the BBC Sport match report:

"With now just one defeat in 15 games across all competitions in 2023, Brighton simply cannot be counted out of the top-four race."

I don’t know about that. We are not Americans you know! Personally I live in Spain so any draw with Spanish clubs is good with me, with a preference for Valencia and Villarreal.

It's like the words go in one eye, sail through the middle bit and exit the other eye, without truly registering.

Wrong Dear Friend, were won

It’s about time Ensico was picking up at least a little English

It’s about time you learned how to spell the names of our players correctly

 

[Dick Head]

Didn't know that! Always thought his Spanish sounded very different to the other Spanish speakers.

Right on...I am really hoping that if we get into Europe we draw one of the Los Angeles Teams, that would be soooo cool. High Five.

This thread reached 33th page. Before Brighton reached Premier League, this kind of "Official Match Thread" could reach 30th page ?

I'm a "baby" as a Brighton fan (less than one year old fan), so I have no idea what this kind of threads were like about 5 to 10 years ago

We averaged around 27k most years in the championship at the Amex. Can't remember how busy match day thread were like though but I don't think much different to this after a big win/loss

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Excellent win. We really had to work for that.

Bournemouth have given us two tough games, it'll be a shame for them if they go down. They've worked harder and look more organised than a number of teams we've played this season.

 

[Nobby]

I thought he trod on his foot so worried it’s a broken metatarsal - I best be wrong..

He landed on Billings foot and his ankle went from under him. Twisted really badly. But . that he will be ok.

 

[Nobby]

I thought it was studs down his calf (only saw it once, probably wrong).

Anyone else want to add another guess?

Hi Trig. If you watch the replay he landed on Billings ankle and his own ankle twisted inside.
The stretcher on and Caicedo laid out ready to be lifted on wasn’t a great look was it. Maybe they thought it was broken
But defo an ankle
Anyways - seems like not as bad as they thought.

Anyone know what the winning raffle ticket # was for the crimson shirt? Forgot to check.

Yeah. That bloke from the videos knows them all. Good old Roland.

Yeah I'd be gutted
