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

[The Mole]

Brilliant battling performance against a very strong Arsenal side. Superb result. Important result - potentially season defining result.

Arsenal weren't bad today - but we played similar high pressing, fluid, possession based football - and we were, or are, simply better than them at it.

100% deserved the 3 points.

Mac Allister we impeccable. Mitoma and Estupinan were lethal on the left - absolutely delighted for him to get a goal too.

Undav - massively underrated - now he's getting a run in the team he looks brilliant - master of the chips!

Caicedo was brilliant in his right back role too, to be fair.

Great day, great performance, great result.... the European dream is still ON chaps!!!

Also an imperious performance from Dunk

We look off it today to me. Not sure if it's tiredness or down to Arsenal's system/pressing. We've given the ball away sloppily a lot.

The way we play is high risk/high reward but the balance shifts towards risk when our passing machine isn't perfectly calibrated. That's my worry but Arsenal haven't been their usual self either(like with us I don't know if that's down to them or how we're set up/playing) so the game is there for the taking.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Yeah, it was ok...if you like that sort of thing.
Quite sexy in that second half, wasn't it?

 

[Gabbafella]

You'll be pleased to hear that I managed to watch the game, and what a corker it was too!
One more win to guarantee Europe I reckon, and what a lovely feeling to effectively take the title away from Arsenal and their wanky fans.
A marvelous day.

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

Just whizzed past on the train.

Can feel the winning vibes.

 

[Weststander]

What an incredible season, already winning away at:

Manure
Spurs (even my Spurs friends say we were robbed of a win)
Arsenal
West Ham
Everton
Chelsea

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Hopefully City will be easier now, title done and dusted, and we did them a massive favour today, one they could return.

 

[Blue3]

8 minutes is it enough time to get a third

Apparently the answer was yes

 

[Rdodge30]

A bunch of happy fans without a care.

Albioooooon!
Albiooooooooon!

 

[SuperFurrySeagull]

What an astonishing team we have

No Alexis was sub par
Kauro was another level today
Pervis was par excellence as per usual
Fergie belied his years very impressive
That stop gap RB was quite effective

Trossard may be an Arsenal shirt, but he knows where he belongs.

Helped us with the second goal, thank you very much! And a honourable mention to White who also helped us.

There’s a difference between ‘giving the ball away’ carelessly in an unforced error and having a forward attacking pass intercepted by a defender. What game are you watching?

We played great football which got better and better throughout the 90 odd minutes.

why do NSCers insist on being so negative against our lads after a match like that ffs.

It's not negative, it was a great game and the lads done amazing.

You can still make observations about players even when we pull off a great win.

I'm not saying he was dreadful and should had been booed off FFS, I'm saying he gave the ball away plenty of times. One at the end actually which lead to a counter.

 

[Dick Head]

Ben White, Leandro Troddard, your boys took a hell of a beating!

 

[brighton_tom]

Get in!!! f***ing love this team! No other words! Time for some celebratory beers!

£50M for a bang average defender. Thank you Arsenal.

 

[Marxo]

It's only fair that we beat Man City too.

 

[Gabbafella]

Seagulls and chips? What a combination.

 

[The Wizard]

Not sure if I’m alone but I f**king hate Micah richards, the most arrogant knobhead pundit going, but he laughs so HAHA he must be funny.

 

[Durlston]

Tore a decent team apart in the same way we destroyed Millwall in the play-offs first leg 4-1 in May '91 at the Goldstone.

I cannot think of a better and more important thrashing than that since in a HUGE game when I was a little boy going with my dad, also on a Sunday and it got better and better and better!!!!
