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

[Robinjakarta]

Is it a national TV station or an Arsenal subscriber thing?

The coverage is like we had on Amazon against Chelski. Very very Arsenal biased.

National. Nothing to do with Arsenal. Pretty good, too. They show all the Premier League matches live, and all can be watched on repeat.

Seems like the usual - big team bias.

I wasn't going out for a few beers tonight. I am now.

Talksport ARSE just scored oh no can we hang on

 

[Bodian]

Lots of talk about the famous Arsenal 'refereeing conspiracy' on their subreddit, one of them is even going to complain to the FA over their disallowed goal

Nobody does meltdowns quite like the Gooners.

Thought he had a pretty decent game. Booked Saka for diving, which was nice.

What a result- we deserved something. Would have been a sickner I’d they had got an equaliser. Needed a bit of luck but deserved it. Mwepu MOTM- outstanding

Any of you doubters or naysayers expecting an olive branch can feck right off

For those who may not have been completely convinced by GP's selection (and I may not have been completely convinced myself )

It turns out it was Genius

I'm now wondering whether we need MORE midfielders next match

We definitely do.

AFTV fans reaction and match review starts at 5:45. I've just opened a bottle of red to give it time to breathe. Out of popcorn though.

Their goal was a bit lucky as well though.

Did.Not.C.That.Coming.

Arsenal could scored 3 in final minutes, Dunk and Sánchez heroes. Weird feeling this evening, I’ve forgotten how to celebrate and I’m not convinced the result is beyond VAR overturning or something yet. Did we just win a game of football and score 2 goals? Anyone else having same dream etc?

Mwepu post-match...

"I'm glad we won today; we needed the three points, coming from six defeats is not easy. We really believe in ourselves, we have the right mentality in the group and we showed what we could do today."

"The gameplan was to win. The mentality and the confidence the coach has shown in us [is huge]. We believe in ourselves. We just want to play and win for the fans. The win gives us confidence and more hope for the next games. We have Tottenham next and we will believe we can win."

Lot to be pleased with there.

A goal. Then another one. Two actual real life goals. A win. Sanchez back to his best, flying saves and dominant cross taking. Cucurella, what a player. Mwepu, an assist, a goal and hopefully no injury. Caicedo, very good. The team giving an incredibly committed, focused and aggressive performance. Potter, excellent, pragmatic game plan.

Yep. Plus Dunk and Trossard back to playing as we know they can.

Talksport 2 1/2 minutes still to go

 

[Dibdab]

Wow. Brilliant game by us until the last 5 minutes plus injury time. We deteriorated into a kids side kicking it anywhere.

Still turned out nice again !

That was largely induced by Potter putting Webster on for Trossard, pushing Lamptey over to the left, and completely unsettling the team. No complaints though up till then we were excellent.

Yes yes but what does Stat Brother think? Thats what really matters
