[Albion] Arsenal vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[One Love]

Oh FFS sake don't ask him that - another huge chunk of wordy analysis from our resident football - sorry, Hughton - expert will just be waiting in the wings....................




Just out of interest - does Private Eye still run its 'Pseud's Corner' feature?

To be fair, I'm trying to make my evening even better.by knowing how much it has p ed him off that we have won.

Manual labour in 42 degrees is bad enough without sleep depravation my dear boy.

(cough) lightweight!


It got up to 42 degrees here earlier as well.......we're are talking fahrenheit, aren't we?

 

[Stat Brother]

Enjoy.

A quality goal from an Albion player much maligned by BG...






...take your pick as to which one.

 

[Bodian]

To put this into more context - despite Arsenal not having a great run, that's the first time they've lost to a team below them I think.

 

[Grombleton]

With all due respect sunshine - I have never lied about anything on this forum - refusing to answer questions to satisfy those who engage in spineless insults, is not lying.

True, but it does make you look weak.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Again - demonstrate where I have posted any anti-Potter posts and where I have post any anti-Brighton posts - seriously - I would love to see them.

Like I said, it was all subtle remarks that most people could read between the lines of. Tonight you’re the only person in the footballing world who has said Brighton were lucky to win, sums your agenda up.

Pivotal game.

Immense performances all over the field, hunger desire: blood, sweat and no tears.

Great coverage on Amazon Prime - very fair punditry, all gave proper respect to us.

These are the days of our lives!

 

[rogersix]

A lucky win - despite being probably the better team - but this is a big win the context of the season.

blimey.......

you've got a full intray you clueless mungbean

 

[Jolly Red Giant]

So - where was the 'luck'. We also had at least two more chances we should have scored from, and quite a few more we could have scored from.

Agree - absolutely - and look at my posts throughout the game - many posters on here were crying that Brighton were a shambles and it was going tits up - at one point I actually said that Arsenal were fragile and it was still all to play for. if Arsenal got the lead goal at 1-1 I think they would probably have kicked on with a bit of confidence and it would have been difficult for Brighton to come back. The opposite happened and deservedly so.

Entertainment time

I lasted 1 minute before I wanted to hang myself with my Brighton scarf having just seen the Tuber survive a similar suicide attempt.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

It's getting a bit vomit inducing reading headlines how arsenal lost at home to Brighton, rather than Brighton winning away at arsenal. All I can say to that is

Nah, nah, nana, nah

The way you talk about "Brighton" and not "we" makes it obvious you are not a fan.

So who is the red team you support?

 

[Mr Putdown]

Pardew’s grown up.

No he hasn’t, he was just complimenting you for once.

The bloke remains a complete and utter fraud.

So why was it a 'lucky win' then??

I wish, will be leaving soon.
Predicted to be 36 degrees C by 9am and peak at 42 degrees C by midday.
Not nice.

 

[B-right-on]

Like how GPott has set up with the team v Liverpool and Arse compared to ManUre and Chelsea games.

We have a much better balance in the midfield and control of the game.

 

[Ernest]

Arsenal were shockingly bad bar the first few minutes of the 2nd half but let’s be honest we’d have lost that with Hughton as boss

 

[Jolly Red Giant]

True, but it does make you look weak.

Seriously - look weak - that is a new one. If I was weak I would have pissed off months ago than put up with the constant insults -

All I have done on here is defend a guy who did a fantastic job for the club and doesn't deserve the bile that has been and continues to be heaped on him. Most people on here show what I would consider the appropriate respect for someone who gave his all while he was here - a few are intent on tarnishing what he achieved at the club - all I have done is call them out when they have acted that way.If people stopped with the nonsense then I would not be posting responses to it.

 

[martin tyler]

Graham Potter, for what it's worth, is super impressive isn't he? Chris Hughton did a great job and as I mentioned earlier Brighton may not do much better than last season points wise but I know which team I'd rather watch.

What the BBC think

Nice to see the 'Seagull' goal celebration return
