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

It was enjoyable but it's a hell of a journey back - arrived home just a few minutes ago, three and a half hours after the match ended (and I only did that because the train was late getting into the station, if it had been on time, I'd have missed it).
I think I may go with Seagull Travel if I do that again

Two times in a row now, away from home, we've come from behind to win. That shows character and balls. The early signs are that this squad of players have fully bought in to RDZ and his methods.
Its not always going to work out, we're going to be on the wrong end of it as well. But I think overall, as this beds in, we're going to end up turning those frustrating attritional draws that we're so used to, into wins.
Its noticable already just how more swiftly we transition the ball, more one-touch stuff in the final third. The ponderous build-ups are rescinding, we look far more dangerous, swift and purposeful when we go forward.
From 1 to 11 all over the pitch we look quality, even with the young fringers coming in. I'm just trying to take it all in, because there has quite literally never been a better time to be a Brighton fan. This is by far the most talented group of players ever assembled by BHAFC, and the fact that now we have a new manager who can not only harness them, but push them on to even greater heights is, well, thrilling.
Sorry about the ramble, but I just feel so proud of them tonight

It's a very nice thing to wake up to see we've stuffed the team top of the league on their own patch.
Three things I like form my brief highlights watching and match report reading.
1) De Zerbi saying we're becoming a big club, no? It's only a small thing but it has such a positive effect on the players and fans.
2) Brighton end Arsenal's 12 match winning streak at the emirates. The previous team to beat them? Brighton!
3) I know this was only the league cup and between them the two teams made 18 changes to their weekend starting 11 but we have now played everyone of the 'big six' and have won three, drawn one with four of those games being away form home.
A bonus point: I saw a Japanese lad in last season's Brighton shirt yesterday. We're going global...

Loads of Japanese in Mitoma shirts at home games now……
We learn from this, and we move on.

And how much did we pay for him? £50,000,000? £20,000,000? £2,600,000?

A complete mess, traveling fans that can make a noise like Leeds, will rip the piss, Spurs and Chelsea will have a field day when they see them, even Palace will look at them and think “f*** me, we don’t look or sound like that (do we?) “
Was it you Warren mentioned on the radio after the match? Lounging around Montego Bay? I missed the name...

Those Arsenal “Ultras,“ the young ones dressed in black, attacked some Albion fans on the Holloway Road after the game on the way to Highbury and Islington tube. I was on the other side of the road and couldn’t see very clearly but someone said some women, who were with Albion fans, got caught up in this which makes this even more pathetic.
I hope no-one was seriously hurt. Not a policeman in sight.

Liked the blue shorts and socks.
Do Arsenal only have one fan whose opinion matters now? Bring back the nutjobs. That isn't the standard of entertainment we have come to expect from AFTV.

I thought Steele had a blinding game tbh.
He certainly had me worried with the ball at his feet, but proved he was up to the task and can play de Zerbiball when called upon.

It was Adrian who mentioned it, I think but yes, it was a 'Dazzer'. @smudge got a mention too a bit later on – judging by Warren's reaction, I don't think he knew he was away for work

According to transfermarkt this is the second time he’s played on the left but the first time was in an u18s game for Chelsea.

It’s also interesting they don’t seem to record when someone plays wing back and just put it down as playing right midfield.
