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

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

I think we're either going to be SCINTILLATINGLY good or we're going to be as shit as we were against Everton and be annihilated. Absolutely nothing in between is possible. Hence I'm plumping for a 7-3 win for the Albion...

were loose

My phenomenal hair was in a bad way for Everton - just saying

Much like our tactics

I'm expecting a worrisome line up from us today. Yes, I'm worrying that I will worry when the line ups are released.

Or Buononotte for Gilmour with with Ali Mac deep and Enciso forward

 

[Gabbafella]

That's fair enough - why force her to watch it?
Where in Italy are you? NSC is usually great for travel tips, so someone can probably suggest things for her to do while you're watching the game

We're in Rome this time, I might do the suggested "convenient restaurant with match on" option and see how much shit I get.

Are you drunk already? After Monday I don’t want to see Buononotte anywhere near the starting 11. It was a mistake to drop Gilmour in the first place.

 

[OzMike]

I will be asleep for this one and expect to wake up and find another 3 points in the bag.

Interesting the manager didn't rule out Veltman completely for the season,he makes such a difference at the back and I hope we get him back maybe for the last two games,I'm not sure who would be the best person to replace Veltman today but I'd feel more comfortable with Caciedo there and Gilmour in the middle than asking Gross to combat Martinelli, it's going to be tough that's for sure but I think we'll see a really strong performance today win draw or lose.

Clearly the root cause of our issues

In fairness to Buononotte, when your teammates refuse to pass the ball to you, even though you’re in acres of space, there is very little you can do.
Perhaps said teammates weren’t too confident he’d do anything with it.

Not sure if that was because it was Buanonotte or they way we were trying to play. A few games ago (Forest?) March played on the right and was hardly given the ball the entire first half - so it makes me think it was something to do with tactics rather than confidence.

Anyone know if the games shown in France? Just ridden 200 miles, need a beer and tv in Cean.

Luckily I’m travelling with an old mate. Who’s a gooner!

Heading to Worthing on an already full train - this is going to get Lionel.

Got confused just now reading this - was wondering what Lionel Blair had to do with the train...

Then the penny dropped. D'oh!

You’re a bit of a pessimist then.

[Coldeanseagull]

As expected?

No Sanchez in squad unless I’m blind
