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

[AmexRuislip]

Aye..usual stuff re the ‘top six’......knowing I‘m not missing anything means I can watch first half of SU v NU

Have you remembered to put a wheel clamp on your mower

 

[hoof hearted]

For anybody here the 22.52 from Finsbury Park which stops at Burgess Hill is cancelled

For anyone that takes the train, they should just stop paying for tickets from January. Commuters have become to conditioned to just accept these yearly fare rises.

Mowers! I have three!
All in the garage now until next March

Pardew just described us as a team who does not have the ball a lot of the time. What a prize ****!

 

[Mackenzie]

That's our 3 minutes done then.



This is laughable, has Pardew even seen the team sheet.

 

[One Love]

I see the team is much as expected but I am disappointed that after playing 45 mins for he U23s Bernardo isnt starting.

You're probably the only one.

55% possession v Liverpool, at anfield, just 5 days ago

IMO the BBC are wrong Stephens will play where Mooy is listed with Burn taking Stephens position and Mooy taking Burns as has happened before.

That would make sense - but it doesn't tally with Potter apparently saying it's going to be 4 at the back. Did he actually say it would be 4-3-2-1? - in which case, would he have Gross or Mooy as one of the two - and would it be Maupay or Connolly up top?

Just seen the Albion website - also shows us with a back 3, with Stephens in the back three! Commentary is going for 4-2-2-2 though. Hope we confuse Arsenal more than we confuse ourselves!

 

[Mackenzie]

Big crowd at Arsenal again.

I got the impression that he thought Duffy was starting

 

[Mike Small]

Has Pards seen Webster play? Calls him a 'proper defender' unlike Arsenal's who like to pass. So wonderfully clueless. Dunk on the other hand can do both

hmmm, lee dixon representing Aresnal interests and representing Brighton....Pardew?

 

[jabba]

SKY would have squeezed in 3 advert breaks in the last 5 minutes.
Hoping for a win tonight.

If you call a tail a leg how many legs does does a dog have?

 

[brakespear]

c'mon Albion!

 

[Weststander]

Playing it around the back against a high press from classy internationals, nearly cost us in 2 minutes. Mugs game imho.

Wide open game, who will it suit?

 

[mreprice]

If you call a tail a leg how many legs does does a dog have?

It’s four. Calling a tail a leg doesn’t make it a leg. And calling Alzate and Burn fullbacks doesn’t make them fullbacks (even if they play there).

Potter did say 4231 with Maupay as part of the 3

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Trust us to get Arsenal legend Freddie's first home game.
Let's wait and see though but we really need to get at least a point.

5 live sports extra for me. Seems ok.
442 formation according to them - is that right?

Yes. Don't like the shudderiness of it though.
