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

[Mancgull]

Burnley under Kompany are a completely different style of team to Dyche’s Burnley. They play possession based football and are quite open. Could be a hatful of goals. 0-0 it is then.

A day when the 'undecided' will pull back the curtains and stay in bed.
3:1 to the good guys please, and 3 up before we concede the goal.

I had said there should be a lot more there today than Wednesday but given this weather and train woes I’m now doubting that.

No much consolation to those travelling to the game from afar, but BBC predicts weather easing up a bit by lunchtime round these parts

So will todays trip down from London again prove to be more challenging than the trip from Mexico to London, seemingly the 9.59 from Victoria is running…..great to be back in the1st () world

'Strong Winds' - it's obviously contextual for the location. Up here we're expecting this - but they haven't bothered calling them 'strong' winds. Just normal...

Fecking grim out there…

 

[Dick Head]

So excited

were loose

 

[Auckland seagull]

The runes are cast. 4-1 Albion. To the bookies I go.

 

[chickens]

Three points please, and full respect to everyone travelling down in frankly foul conditions.

 

[The Fits]

I think we will steamroll them. Kompany won’t compromise and going toe to toe with us is a very risky game.

 

[Stat Brother]

It's now trying hard to brighten up here in Best Sussex.

Edit 12:10 - Sun's out Guns out, clear blue skies.

We're not undecided, but we are ill, so can't make it

Same here, the whole house has the lurgy

 

[faoileán]

Oh blimey not Burnley again... things never seem to go right against The Dingles as I believe they are affectionately known up there in the frozen north...

 

[Krafty]

We are winless in our last six home league games against Burnley.

Hopefully, that run ends

 

[Cheshire Cat]

We will not keep a clean sheet, since we can't remember how to do it.

And there, in a nutshell, despite the beauty of the Lake District, is the reason why I am so pleased I live in Brighton.
