[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Arsenal *** Official Match Thread ***

[LamieRobertson]

At least there's public transport available and it's a 5.30pm start. Which is relatively civilised compared to last year's Brentford game (Boxing Day, 8pm, no public transport whatsoever)

Agreed and a five thirty KO on a Saturday is pretty standard

Must win game. Let's be honest, they're a far better side than West Ham. Tactically, they're one of the best team in league. They contract the space on pitch and force you to play on their terms and look to impose their game on you. But we're a much different team to the side that lost to them...

£150m hole in midfield. I'm a bit nervous.

£14m

I’m turning into the thing that I hate the most today……….I’m planning on leaving on about 85 mins, I simply have to get home before 10pm tonight. I’m planning on booing myself as I leave.

What if it’s 0-0 with the Albion on top?

Blimey. They're actually very respectful, even a little worried.

Yeah, well they should be as well. We are bloody good.

Quick thanks to the PL for putting the game a bit later giving me a chance for some pre-NYE sleep before watching the game and heading out.

First time I’ve received an email ahead of the game to confirm my tickets have been sold on the exchange (I knew anyway by logging in) part of the enhanced OBE customer service suite I guess?

Whereabouts do you sit? I don't mind joining you in a quick boo, if we synchronise watches.

Do you know who they've gone to? I'm getting lots of part time local arsenal fans in Brighton seats vibes about tonight.

 

[dazzer6666]

Can you put a guest ticket on the exchange and what happens if no one buys it? She doesn't want to come now ffs

No. Exchange is only for season tickets

 

[severnside gull]

Hard to fancy our chances today. Hopefully Gilmour has a good one and we keep it tight

 

[Sheebo]

Free hit tonight - 4 key players out and the excellent win at SCC means we have no pressure. I think we’ll lose fairly comfortably unfortunately given their winning habit and pressure game combined with out absentees - just intend on enjoying it and clapping the lads for a fantastic 2022

 

[Sheebo]

Promises to be a hugely emotional occasion, minutes applause for 'the King' Pele before the game and appreciation of Paul Barber on his OBE.

Heard Alec Scott is coming pitch side to personally start the applause - going to be tough to see.

A one off occasion is ok - especially on a stupid, stupid KO time on NYE. Just don’t let it happen again, and pls loudly boo yourself and sing loyal supporters at yourself on the way out.

Yeh, interesting to find out that if Welbeck is out for any length of time we'll be reegated! Tossers!
