[Albion] Brighton and Hove Albion vs Crystal Palace ****official Match Thread****

[Seat Stealer]

at least the season tickets won't go up

An hour and a quarter before I go to work, it's 4.45am and all still in bed.
All I can add is that Palace looked like they wanted it more, especially in the second half.

WE HAVE COME BACK FROM OBLIVION!!!!
This is nothing.

I agree totally. This loss is nothing and Palace are nothing. I couldn't believe how biased against us the Sky commentary was. Palace have the ability to pull something out of nothing. The boys placed well and next season let's win the league and get automatic promotion!

 

[Jesus Gul]

Speroni was marvellous over the tie. Shame they kept him and got rid of Pyjama wearing Gabor Kirali.

Cmon Watford.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Gutted doesn't come close to how I feel right now seeing the scenes at our home.

Scenes mirror my dream from last night - although in that one we lost 3-0. Why can't my dreams about scantily-clad women come true as well!

 

[John Bumlick]

we seemed totally crushed by the pressure of expectation and just didn't play our normal game. Palace deserve a lot of credit though as they played the situation perfectly. great season, sad ending. congratulations to Palace and I sincerely hope they get absolutely raped by Watford. Seagulls!

Fair play to Palace - the better team on the night.

Still, it's been an excellent season all in all.

Roll on August. We'll be stronger than QPR, will probably give Reading a good game, and Ulloa could well be our 20 goal a season striker.

Heads up everyone!

The longer it went on without us scoring was a huge boost for Palace. We really needed to take one of those chances in the 1st half at Selhurst when we were so dominant.

 

[maltaseagull]

I hate to say it but palace probably do deserve it. Apart from a 15-20minute spell in the first half we've been too sloppy with the ball.

Hate to agree but do. How was Holloway able to get his team to perform so much better than friday?- Experience!

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Game over , it's now consigned to the history books. On reflection we've improved since last season and there will be a further improvement next season. I think if we had won then Watford would have slaughtered us in the final but now that will happen to Palace.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Static, linear and no ****ing plan B.

The game descended into an end-to-end cup tie. Not our style at all. This is a team to win leagues, not to get through play-offs. Onwards and upwards next year. In the words of Micky, keep the faith

Spanish Len will be aiming for at least 30 goals next season as his personal target.

 

[Cypriot-Seagull]

I'm trying to think of some positives but just can't. Is wasn't meant to be this season.
Come on Watford!

 

[The Rattler]

Sick as a dog. Best team won and best player on pitch scored two. Going to my shed now - I may be gone some time.

 

[tinycowboy]

Well done Palace. That's it til August then. Our most successful season for more than 20 years, not quite enough. Hope we can keep the team together. It's a bit of a bummer, but that's football...

I hope we can learn from what went wrong and take this into preseason. Get some fresh players in, try out new plans and head level headed into the new season.

Just it was palace....

 

[Seat Stealer]

Interesting to see how this team holds together and who goes

 

[easynow]

I'll get this off my chest seeing as I'm a bit drunk...well done palace...the better team won.

 

[Sam Ovett]

Wondersave in both legs. Meh wasnt our night, still a much nicer club than those bunch of chavs.
