Brighton and Hove Albion vs AFC Bournemouth ***Official Match Thread***

[severnside gull]

The Bournemouth official website is recommending a couple of local pubs for their fans to have a pre-match drink at , one is the Swan and the other is the Hikers Lets hope they choose the right one to have a bevvy in.

Can never understand why they don't tell away fans to come straight to the Amex and use the concourse bars

Are you pissed? Starting the match thread two days early?! Where loos 5-0

Trust me I'm a doctor....of madness. .

Trust me I'm a doctor....of madness. .

Thought you were busy today, which is why you started it yesterday. Is this all a ruse for the 3 points?

 

[whitelion]

Did you play for the Bombers or the Bobcats ?

B52's inside right middle linebacker...one of the heaviest at 17.5 stone...blitzing quarterback and any other ball carrier coming through my channel...

Eddie Howe comes across as a nice guy but his teams always seem to be dirty so I expect a few cards in this one.

Things change....my woman is like tigger...

 

[whitelion]

I think it has to be considered, a Match day Thread started SOOOOOOOOOO early has always resulted in a massive loss.

Question is, does the thread starter want to take on so much responsibility should this happen

Well, does he

Not a problem. ...after 2 and 0 I'll go back to 24 hours before kick...off...ok?

They've actually committed the *least* fouls in the Championship this season: http://www.football-league.co.uk/page/ClubDiscipline/0,,10794~20137,00.html

Best moment was playing in Bobcats vs B52's game in Kings Park....a real tough game and can't remember result just now.

Do you remember what year it was? I followed the B52's religiously from around 86 to the mid 90's.

Surprising as I thought they put a few cynical fouls in against us (the elbow to Crofts sticks out).

Let me carry on this streak....can't see a loss coming up anytime soon...

Then you would definitely watched me play ...my best memories are beating Australia and Russia at Withdean in October? 87 we played both games in mud toe to toe.... the game mostly played 30 yards of the centre line...I broke my ankle in the Russia game but played on.....Bournemouth was either 87 or 92 as I took a certain girlfriend at the time...
