Wifes just reminded me..............Jimmy Bullard

His wife. You know, when a man and woman love each other very much...

Anyone noticed the 'Brighton penalties see off 10-man Leeds' Sky headline which was quickly changed?

 

[Triggaaar]

You try telling that to the W@nkers in the Sky commentary team. Sounded from their perspective we were a little lucky. FFS knobheads look at the stats re shots.

Or try watching the ****ing game!

We were excellent up until the goal, and then against 10 men we just coasted. Yes it would have been nice to have played even better, but the win was never in doubt. I rarely find watching us relaxing, but tonight was easy.

Last year, for comparison:

1 Brighton 20 +11 42
2 Middlesbrough 20 +17 40
3 Hull 20 +16 38
4 Derby 20 +15 38
5 Burnley 20 +7 35
6 Ipswich 20 +2 31
7 Cardiff 20 +4 30

Oh great. I was on cloud nine until reading that.

I felt we played this like a testimonial game. Very much within ourselves, nobody broke into a sweat and we won it in first gear. I haven't looked at possession stats but we may well have been in the 70's. I did think payback for Dunk getting a pen after that one given against him last season. That was a stride, not a gallop. We are ticking all the right boxes.

 

[Nixonator]

Those stats clearly show we were lucky, gifted a penalty too.

Cheers Dazzer, shows our complete dominance and totally wipes out the threads saying we should be better (aholes).

If we were still playing now, it would be 'Leeds Nil'.........

Wow. Just wow. The only club to have conceded more goals than Norwich are Rotherham. That's just about convinced me that they won't make the automatics.

60% possession

About average for us at home. We won, three points, at a canter, thank you very much. Blackburn Tuesday.

Indeed we were better.. but we need to have some central midfield support for Baldock and Murray... Stephens and Norwood were too often too far away to support attacks... resulting in lost possession.

Don't care what the commentators say if we keep doing the business.
Lucky for 3 seasons eh, utter b******s.

I mentioned somewhere else, and I agree with you, bringing in Norwood against a top 4 team wasn't good for us fans, better v Blackburn, and for 20 mins he was a little scary, but he came through and played well. For someone that hadn't had a start since October 20(?) he did ok.

Would love Brum to hold Newcastle to a draw or get a lucky win, not likely but would be nice.

They're in a massive dip with the Shelvey thing hanging over them, and Brum know this.

Basically Jansson and Baldock had a bit of a tussle trying to win the ball. Jansson hurtled into the sideboard and the old boy in the stand pushed him back then held his hands up. Jansson got a bit mardy and slapped the old boys hands away, backed up whilst continuing to shout at the old chap and walked into the Sky mic (potentially injuring himself as he started rubbing his calf afterwards). Then to top it off got angry at the mic for it's awful challenge on him, picked it up and threw it. Top stuff

Did anyone see what happened in the SW corner with the Leeds player, it looked like he had a go at some older age Brighton fan before ripping the sky mic out.

I was trying to reply to this but I am shit at this sort of thing

I know I am getting old, but why are the LUFC players wearing man bras?

Heart monitors.
