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

[Ooh it’s a corner]

What an outstanding display. Just fantastic. What a miserable, whiny, condescending #### their manager seems to be. What a contrast ours is. Brilliant night

 

[Weststander]

I'm beginning to wonder if he has some sort of agenda with us. It's odd.

Since our last game against them, I've made a point of watching his post match interviews on MotD (a bit sad, I know, but hey ho). Whilst none of them exactly cover him in glory, equally, none of them have been as bitter as the two he's done after our games.

See the snide comment about our fans applauding a draw for example. He knows full well they were applauding yet another brilliant team performance, not the result. We don't fear the likes of those teams anymore. Fact!

So I wonder what his agenda could be? It's all a bit weird.

It’s not us.

He’s a serial complainer and misery after every draw or loss. Alex Ferguson-esque …. bitterness about officials or perceived injustices. Allardyce and Colin W@nker made careers out of it.

And he goes on and on. Guardiola and Klopp can be emotive on final whistle/during games, but bury the hatchet normally come interviews.

that's the crux of it , no more going out for damage limitation but still loose 3-0 but matching the top teams in the WORLD.... pinch yourselves and remember this.

Southgate is Palace through and through. Webster, Burn and Dunk have no chance of an England call up

Southgate knew White was on his way to Arsenal when he picked him for England

Personally I am happy with that as it keeps them fresh for us.

Yes, superb management of the squad over the Xmas period from Potter and his team.

Without cheating postponements with ‘Covid’ (Eddie Howe). Just got on with all fixtures.

 

[giveusfalmerplease]

to be fair to the Chelsea manager - he has a point (about players being tired etc) that chelsea have played 15 games since 1 dec- Weve played 9...i guess thats a "problem" we'll have to do in a couple of years when we qualify next year for the Europa League

 

[Luke93]

Sublime from Brighton today. Excellent showing against one of the ‘big’ boys of Europe.

Have to say though, what a **** Alonso is.

Brighton tired though. FA rejected.

Fair enough. Like I say, none that I've seen exactly cover him in glory, but after our games he seems to be particularly bitter. Probably just me taking much more notice of those particular interviews then.

Just feel sorry for the poor buggers that might still be around, that have been waiting since 1933.

We're just amateurs at the waiting game.

Ha ha, that’s true! Wonder if any Albions fans alive that remember that?

Sad to hear this. As I went past the away fans on the way out the police were on the lookout for a few Chelsea fans who'd been threatening Brighton fans over the segregation line during the match. Got the feeling they were concerned at it spilling out.

Can't be bothered to read the whole thread but is there any mention as to why Alonso was booed all night? I was racking my brain to think of what he did at Stamford Bridge but I couldn't think of anything. Why pick on him?

 

[Bod]

Easily the better team and performance, made Chelsea look like Championship fodder (albeit with a couple of good players), not champions of Europe

Well played Potter and the entire team

They looked and played like Burton Albion

I missed what has Alonso done? I saw him all over Tariq, but the fans were on his back early on.

In all my years of being a Brighton fan i have always loved the players who although maybe not the greatest in the skill or flair departments have given their all for the cause and the team .The sort who wear their heart on their sleeve , express the joy of playing and you absolutely know are giving everything they have on the day .
That is why i am so enjoying this current team because i look across the pitch and increasingly see a whole team playing for joy and for each other and the manager .
What thrills me the most is that even players who may not be featuring on a regular basis are coming into the side and completely expressing the team ethic and dare i say Potterball !
The only thing i am sorry about is that there are still some obviously long standing supporters who cannot see this and my only wish for them is that the scales fall off their eyes and they enjoy the ride for who knows how long it will last and where it will take us .
To quote [MENTION=38]Beach Hut[/MENTION] (if i may) " so excited "

I turn it over when he moans.

He’s the one German who can’t be wooed by the funniest joke in the world.
