Brighton & Hove Albion v Portsmouth **** Official Match Thread ****

[Cheeky Monkey]

Cardiff losing this evening would be a massive result for us.

Ah, to finally watch quality players through the team keeping it on the ground.

Magnificent.

I just love this team and The Amex and Gus and Tony.

Can't quite believe this season. 10 matches to go and we're in the playoff spots? Just stunning.

On the down side.....................................................













.............................................. only 9 (NINE) points clear of Palace!

 

[albionalex]

Teams around us dropping points as well. What a great day.

2 more Albion goals in front of the north stand, to go with the 2 on wednesday night.

What's the ratio looking like now? Surely close to 3:1 north stand to south stand goals.

Bet it's a draw. That wouldn't be be awful for us still, but them losing would be quite lovely

I thought KLL was brilliant for his ten minutes. Always looked dangerous, ridiculous pace, an assist - that's the way to defend a one-nil lead I must say. Just scare the opponents to death!!

 

[severnside gull]

Portsmouth very firmly, and very pleasingly, rooted to the bottom. 8 points adrift of safety and could be 9 by tonight if Bristol get a point

I Officially announce the Official Premiership-Double-Promotion-On-The-Trot-Not-Since-Man-City Thread is Officially open.

Officially..

.... other than Norwich

You may be right. 2000 season stuck in my head for some reason

[portlander]

Nice week off and then a seaside battle next Saturday.

We certainly seem to defend better going forward - if that makes sense!

Be nice if they are relegated by more than 10 points.

Hope so, mind you i wouldn't bet against Reading v Leicester being first on

El puñal de Brighton

Will he get the assist for his first ?

From the BBC report......BBC Sport - Brighton 2-0 Portsmouth


"LuaLua picked out Vicente from the left and he made no mistake from close range, although there was a clear handball in the lead-up to the goal."

No, no there wasn't.
