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

[Jolly Red Giant]

Good point - the team is showing a lot of resilience - and that is very positive.

Really pleased for Ali J on Saturday and especially today.

I have given him as much stick on here as anyone and I couldn't be happier that he is ramming my piss-taking back down my throat with added interest.

Happy New Year Ali J.

That's the goal of the decade so far.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

After the extended warming up period I am really looking forward to the 2nd half.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Very good second half.

What a great goal by Ali J. Has there ever been such a dramatic turn around in an Albion players fortunes/career? Extraordinary!

We are close to being a very decent side.

 

[Durlston]

Very pleased to stop Fat Frank getting the points. Considering they've beaten Tottenham and Arsenal away in the last few days, a draw is a fantastic result.

Delighted for AJ and the confidence another goal will give him. Next league match is very tough at Everton but we're edging towards safety. Well done, Potter, for changing the tactics.

 

[hoof hearted]

Hopefully Bernardo is starting at LB from now on. No offense to Burn, he's been playing well, but he's not better than Bernardo.

Happy New Year Ali J.

Let's hope there's a fair bit of interest to come.

hughton wouldn't of got that game back, now would he?

Doesn't matter. Pointless question. Just enjoy today's result without a bit of pointless Hughton-bashing.

 

[hitony]

A well deserved point against a unclassy Chelsea side.

I agree

Happy New Year to you and yours mate

 

[Sheebo]

Great turn around - bar some excellent goalkeeping we’d have won that! Love the way we compete in all these games. Played all the ‘big 6’ away and Chelsea and Spurs twice. Looking good for staying up!

 

[Gabbafella]

Excellent second half, maybe deserved more than a point. Worst referee I've seen all season by a country mile. How he let some of the challenges go and then produced yellows for minor ones is shocking. Refs really need to be held accountable for poor performances.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Good point, great goal but had very good chances in the 2nd half to have won that.
Disappointed with the first 30 minutes with that ridiculous formation.

New Years Day will now be re-named New Ali J Day.

At least he booked James in the end.....

 

[kjgood]

For me I would rather see a performance like that in the second half of the game rather than the type of football we saw in the second half of the season last year even if we are relegated at the end of the season.

Come on Potter haters surely you can see the progress that has been made?

 

[Dick Head]

Fair play to Lampard for bringing the young players through to their first team - James, Mount and Abraham really are quality players.

He didn't have much choice given their transfer ban.

 

[Marxo]

It may not have been intentional but I thought Jame's assault on Burn was dangerous play, he got a yellow late on, could have been red.

 

[Sheebo]

Propper = Football genius

Thought he was pretty woeful today and I’m a big fan usually... unless you were being sarcastic

 

[BBassic]

Good grief my hangover must be worse than I knew.

Thought we were poor today. Seem to be in the minority though so will just enjoy the point and head off for a nap.
