A lady officer of the law came over to whisper sweet nothings into the ear of a young lad. He didn't seem to be Chelsea and was there for the second half. Maybe they were a couple and she wanted to know what takeaway to pick up on the way home.
Not sure how nearly getting sent off early on qualifies anyone for MOM. It was only because they didn't have close up footage that he didn't walk.
The disallowed (harsh IMO) goal and the slip for the second makes it worse.
By the way, who was the bell end co-commentator last night ?
I'm still feeling massively irritated by him 12 hours on. Everything he does, from grabbing Dunk at corners, to feigning injury, to getting in the ref's ear, to coming infield from his full-back berth when the Chelsea centre-backs have the ball... all of it drives me nuts.

Whatever was going on, it garnered a lot of interest from those around me in N1F. Glad to hear it wasn't anything too serious.
Johnny Cantor referring to him as CuCu in commentary gives me the raging boak, he's an irritating prick, not a national treasure.....

Absolutely this, the club back slapping when Welbeck and Milner signed new deals was laughable.

I thought old people's homes were generally in Eastbourne and Worthing, not Brighton.

Probably less than that with sell on payments, but still pretty decent.

Yep, I agree with all of that
.Strong, skillful, inconsistent. Will be interesting to see if Poch can take them to the next level (hope not).
Gusto very strong, compact player and Adingra did look a bit lost at time.
We dominated in spells, Barco and Pedro excellent on the left, but we needed Pedro in the middle as well. He makes things happen in tight spaces whereas Welbz needs the defence to open up a bit for him. Great goal from us though.

We are woeful on the break. We often have numerical advantage attacking their goal and barely ever make it count whereas our opposition regularly seem to score on the break.

Woeful because of the complete predictability and the infuriating slowing down as we reach the last 1/4 of the pitch allowing the opposition to regroup. I struggle to believe that this is actually part of DeZerbi ball so why do we keep doing it every game?
At the match I thought we were obviously second best and Chelsea deserved their win. However, on reflection I think we did quite well and a point might have been taken. The highlights , Albion edited obviously, show we had several good chances (how Gross missed the target I don't know ?), hit the woodwork twice and had a stonewall penalty turned down . Against that Chelsea had several good chances on the break and a goal disallowed which might have been allowed , Bart made a couple of smart saves but not much else. Oh well..

This! Thought if we did get another. Don't think it would of been unfair, chelsea had 3-4 good chances and so did we
Did I miss something completely re: Lamptey's collision with Mudryk?
It was completely innocuous live. I've seen it back and at the very worst it's a block by Tariq that catches Mudryk at an unfortunate angle. There's no movement of the arm whatsoever, the connection is with his shoulder and Lamptey seems completely unaware of any damage he's caused. If that's being given as a red then I don't know the laws anywhere near as well as I thought I did...
You can clearly see on the club extended highlights he raises and leads with his shoulder. Now we know he's not a dirty player and he probably doesn't mean it but he does catch him in the face and the player needs to go off with concussion.
Seen plenty of accidental blocks that have lead to head injuries given as reds.
