[Albion] Albion v Watford Sat Aug 21

[Mancgull]

Harry the Hornet, must be the best mascot around. His dive in front of Zaha was brilliant. Hodgson even got involved saying it was ‘disrespectful’ .

 

[Sheebo]

Really? Not sure there’s anything there to get offended about and his overview of us is positive.

My thoughts too.

Found this statement strange though:
'The whole town looks as though it has suffered from the pandemic with most of the restaurants moving towards Hove.'

Did he completely miss North Laine/the lanes and the huge amount of independent shops are as well as tens of restaurants?! I'd say Brighton has probably suffered less than the vast majority of towns its size from the pandemic!

This. Only a soppy oversensitive type is going to take offence to any of that. It's very fair and bang on the money.


I like Watford anyway, if only for the fact they hate that nasty, grubby bunch of no marks, Loo town.

Just to confirm [MENTION=232]Simster[/MENTION] I’m not offended. Just glance read it as it was odd but isn’t ‘queer’ homophobic or is that word now reclaimed? Anyway, just thought it was very harsh on the city really - making it sound like the crime capital of the UK etc?

 

[Sheebo]

What a hugely embarrassing post.

Think Watford will nick this. Sarr is a fantastic player.

What a hugely embarrassing non sensical post

Yes, I like Watford for that alone.

Still, I expect them to go down, regardless of the result Saturday.

Hmm, I think you’ve been a bit whooshed here mate.

It’s a quote from Noel Coward, there’s references to Brighton Rock, and a subtle reference, I presume, to Peter James’ Brighton based detective novels.

Yeh sorry I didn’t realise so my comments are probably redundant I was hungover half reading it admittedly but not great on my literature

 

[Dorset Seagull]

On a serious note, my neighbour is Watford fan, and has been nothing but complementary on the Albions progression to the PL

My neighbour is also a Watford fan and we will be sitting side by side in front of my TV for this one. He said we have to wear team shirts but I’m not sure any of the 5 I have even fit any more

 

[Dorset Seagull]

I'm looking forward to bumping into their most famous fan

Christ Elton John is looking a bit ropey these days

Just been reading the Watford thread, on our next match.
Interesting how they perceive us, giving it the old good cop bad cop routine.....
I'm going for 2-1 to the Albion

Love the away boards Thx.

Well written and balanced piece IMO, albeit Albion never think 3 points is a gimme.....

Sure Potter & Co will have noted Sarr-Dennis combo and how Targett was aptly named for Sarr's offensive duties yesterday.

Guess is Veltman will be drafted in as right footed LB assuming the pinging forecasts in another thread are correct. He is cool, assured and actually a defender. Confident that Dunk/Webster/Duffy can cope with Dennis. Watford are not as good away as at home, and defensively not that great. Expect a home win with maybe a scare thrown in to keep us on our toes. 2-1 for me.

 

[Gwylan]

Five people think we're going to lose by three goals. We lost by three goals just once last season (away to Leicester). I like a bit of optimism but they're just deluded

 

[B-right-on]

Don't mind Watford.

Troy Deeney tho is a kn0b.
