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

[Eric the meek]

How far JPVH has come. Dunk is absent and people (including me) saying that JP should be captain.

 

[Washie]

Other than JP as captain, I'm actually okay with that team.

 

[Flounce]

Lose today and Brentford go above us

 

[BLOCK F]

I don’t reckon the choice of captain will truly affect the outcome of the game, whoever it might be.

 

[Wrong-Direction]

Pedro will get sent off

 

[Flounce]

Pedro will get sent off

Hope not, however annoying he can be, it was his chasing down for the first and quality pass for the second that gave us a draw at Villa

 

[7dialssouthpaw]

I hope we put a player on the 10-yd mark for their corners

 

[7dialssouthpaw]

I like the line-up - hard press across the pitch against a knackered team and powder on the bench

 

[WhingForPresident]

Joao Pedro as captain is absolutely bizarre.

 

[Flounce]

I hope we put a player on the 10-yd mark for their corners

I hope we leave players back on any corners we get too

Already have

What makes you think that Arsenal are knackered

 

[Springal]

Dunk was expected to play today, late injury or illness

 

[Bakero]

Joao Pedro as captain is absolutely bizarre.

He said in interview recently that he was one of the leaders in the team and I guess Hürzeler agrees

 

[The Wookiee]

West Ham is er... West Ham. Arsenal doesn't exist.

 

[Brownstuff]

Rice is the only English player in the starting 22.

We tend to use JPVH to distribute the ball from the back more than Dunk these days

 

[Mancgull]

You’d think illness. There’s a lot of it around at present.

 

[North of Robertsbridge]

Apart from Arsenal and West Ham, are there any tube stations that are named the same as teams?

Well, if you can have West Ham (United). Then Queen’s Park (Rangers)

 

[Springal]

You’d think illness. There’s a lot of it around at present.

Yeah probably. At lunch time he was expected to start at least
