Remember the O’Hara thing well …subbed at HT ….end of season game ..they lost two nil…went over to the fans at the end of the game ..he threw his shirt into the away end and they threw it back 😂😂😂
Same here. Hot sunny afternoon wasn’t it? Went round to the NS afterwards to meet a brother and celebrate the win. Everyone allowed to take their pints out to the sunny outside. Peter Ward came down to say hello, he was mobbed, whilst his original chant was sung.

I said this to my mate earlier, apparently just about every team are absolute shithouse when they play us, absolutely nothing to do with us making them look so poor !
That is exactly what the radio coverage I listened to on the way home was. Very little praise for the Albion other than a brief mention of how we are a good team and it’s hard for teams to come to the Amex. Nothing at all about how we played and how we outclassed WHU.

Oh well :shrug::

Their forum barely mentions us. Seems they beat themselves.

Really bad. Can't remember us looking so bad. Brighton are obviously better than us, but still...

Looked to me like a squad management issue. The Saturday fixture followed by Wednesday in the cup, then Saturday again and with a looming Thursday: that's a tough run for any squad, let alone one that's thin to begin with and has little rotation. I think the result against United was quite gutting for the squad – somehow I suspect that if we'd lost 4-0 at Old Trafford, we would actually have put in a better shift today.

But some pretty diabolical performances, led by Ben Johnson who didn't seem to do anything right all match. Have no idea why Ings wasn't taken off for Antonio at some point in that second half. Sure, he wasn't getting any service, but his pressing was rubbish and everything that came to him bounced off. Rice and Soucket looked knackered, Benrahama a busted flush, Emerson zero confidence. I hope that we take the Larnaca game as an opportunity to rotate, because frankly winning the European Conference League the same season we get relegated would be embarrassing. Has to be a safety first approach from now.

That all said: how good are Brighton? So, so frustrating to see a team that spends so much less than us out-performing us in every department. Their recruitment of players both at their peak and youth (not to mention manager) is the model we should aspire to, rather than it open chequebook approach of recent seasons.

Did they start the getting sacked in the morning chant, which we then joined in on? Loved that. Reminded me of Albion and Wolves fans jointly baiting Jamie O’Hara circa 10 years ago.
Yes they deffo started it. I felt sorry for them by the end to be honest. Absolute garbage and they've clearly given up.

…only about three players got near their support at the end of the game ..amidst a fair amount of gesticulating 😉


Yes I was watching it. Very funny. Fair play to Bowen and Rice being the only ones to go but they got f***ed off immediately. First time seeing Rice live for me and he looked terrible and disinterested.. compare him to Caicedo...

I can answer the Antonio question quite easily, he wasn’t in the match day squad 🤣🤣🤣🤣
