[Albion] Aston Villa vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Wrong-Direction]

Not going today, but if you are, please please - if we deny Villa a European place - can you celebrate like we’ve won the league and really rub it in? Payback for 2016, when, with nothing to play for, those wankers celebrated like they’d won the World Cup just because we didn’t therefore win the league. Which we would have if Stockdale hadn’t turned into a ghost and the ball gone - I swear - straight through his body (although that perspective might have been due to enjoying the Corporate hospitality a bit too much!)

Oh we will don't worry, I hope I'm standing right next to them like last time too..

Denying them playing in Europe would be the ultimate pay back & don’t worry, Villa fans will know about it at the end!

Given the fact they have rights to all 4 games, I am intrigued why Sky don't offer a channel/red button with a 4 way split of the games. Obviously I will be watching us but would be good to have the option of keeping an eye on the relegation games.

Nice late KO with a bank holiday tomorrow.
Hopefully a simple 90 mile drive

Leaving in an hour …. Free parking @ star city

And so we shortly turn off the light on what has been the greatest ever football season in the history of Brighton and Hove Albion. History will show that season 22/23 was the season that we became a Big 6 team. Scared of no other team, we went to Arsenal and thrashed them, 6 points off Man Utd and Chelsea, thrashed Liverpool then done it again two weeks later. Fans of the future will look back on this season as either the start of something big or our only big season.

And we were there.
And to celebrate I'm off to a dry football ground with a rip-off pub outside for away fans.

Can’t drink as I’m driving so I’m not worried about no beer in the Upper tier but I know some people will be moaning.

Want to check the scores and see Leeds and Everton losing and Leicester grabbing a winner!!

 

[swindonseagull]

Hoping for wins for us, Leeds, Brentford, Bournemouth and Leicester. It would be beautiful.

Why oh why do you want Leeds to win.??

 

[Triggaaar]

Why oh why do you want Leeds to win.??

Because he wants Spurs and Villa to miss out on 7th, and Leeds would still go down anyway (since Leicester have won)

OK that sounds good

My Albion scarf is getting a few glances in Dub airport this morning - already seen about a dozen Villa fans - I know we finish 6th whatever but we really DO owe them one - UTA

Edit - it’s actually like a chartered flight for the AV Supporters Club!

McGinn fan club whoppers.

would love Ferguson to make Mings look like an absolute mug

I can’t remember ever being this relaxed about a game. We’re 6th. Either Villa miss out or Spurs after that ridiculous game Attwell won for them, or both. One or both of Leeds or Everton to drop too. Lager in the fridge, snacks in the cupboard.

*rubs hands*

 

[Red Squirrel]

Why oh why do you want Leeds to win.??

Because I've done the maths. It's not an isolated wish but a succession of results that would mean Everton and Leeds go down and Brentford finish 7th.

 

[Acker79]

What colours we playing in today?

And because to win and STILL go down will be far more painful for them than just surrendering meekly!

And the support act is the Monaco Grand Prix, which may have a little excitement, if not some very nice views of the city and some decent boats.

Do those maths allow for one of those 'everyone on the pitch celebrating at FT of their own match, only for a late goal to go in elsewhere to ruin the party' situations? That would be hilarious!

The ultimate sponsored traffic race but also the best qualifying on the calendar. Yes I’ll be watching

 

[Sheebo]

I can see Dunk and Gross being rested - wouldn’t it be mental if this prediction were true…!

BT Sport have the rights to the Leeds v Spurs game
