[Albion] BOU Press Conference

[Home and Away]

 

[Home and Away]

Bournemouth - Brighton is not a derby.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

He's really impressive isn't he.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

He's really impressive isn't he.

Yes very!

 

[JBizzle]

He's really impressive isn't he.

Did you know he's only 31?

 

[Titanic]

Did you know he's only 31?

No way! Isn't that very young to be a Premier League manager?

 

[jcdenton08]

No way! Isn't that very young to be a Premier League manager?

I imagine it’s somewhere in the middle age wise? Otherwise surely the commentators and sports media would’ve mentioned it by now?

 

[Insel affe]

Did you know he's only 31?

Blimey snap, that is my IQ two

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Monster Monster!

 

[US Seagull]

Monster Monster!

Should have ended the press conference by popping both cans open and downing them.

While maintaining eye contact with the biggest, toughest looking bloke in the room.

Bournemouth - Brighton is not a derby.

Indeed. People (who aren't Brighton or Palace fans) will argue about whether or not Brighton vs Palace is really a derby. Bournemouth is about twice as far away as Croydon.

Absolute nonsense. I think even Fab, new to the area as he is, knew that was a stupid question.

But yeah, they are both on the coast so...

Then let out a guttural scream and rip his shirt off.

 

[rippleman]

Hinshelwood - will decide over next 2 days

Dunk - training will decide over next 2 days

Ferdi - very unlikely to be available

Milner - no schedule for return

Baleba - "He is an option" said with a big grin!!

 

[pigmanovich]

But yeah, they are both on the coast so...

Up there with the Plymouth-Brighton derby innit

 

[SeagullsoverLondon]

The questions should just be asked by the local journos such as Cantor and Owen who at least can be relied on not to say stupid things such as Bournemouth v Brighton is a derby. And perhaps will also reflect what the fans want to know.

Is it a random choice as to who asks the questions each week, or do different organisations take it in turns (e.g Sky Sports this week, The Sun next etc)?

Palace isn’t a derby either. It’s a rivalry.

 

[Stato]

Bournemouth - Brighton is not a derby.

These lazy journalists drive me up the wall. Every year we get this tosh.

Arsenal, Brentford, Chelsea, Palace, Fulham, Southampton, Tottenham & West Ham are all closer to Brighton than is Bournemouth. Ipswich is only 15 minutes longer to drive from Brighton! Yet year after year, everything on the South Coast is a derby. Does that work with the other coasts? Is Norwich v Southend a derby?

Brighton to Bournemouth is about the same distance as Newcastle to Leeds. Brighton to Dieppe via Newhaven is less miles than Brighton to Bournemouth! Just stop it.
