I was expecting the usual mix of moaning about the officials and about their scapegoat player (Eric Garcia it seems) peppered with some wiser heads saying that Brighton played well and that City will need to be more at it in the CL final. Instead, there is a just stunning amount of entitlement and conspiracy theory bordering on institutional insanity. A huge number of them really seem to believe that the only way that they could have lost was for the FA and the officials to have planned it. There are loads of complaints about Potter sending us out to 'kick them off the park'. (As the foul count was 13/11, I think that this can only be their description of Biss winning every challenge he made.) I do wonder why they think we felt the need to kick them when we had the ball for two thirds of the game.
They are also moaning about us booing the guard of honour (Didn't happen. There was a chant of 'Albion, Albion' which annoyingly drowned out 'Sussex By The Sea') and about us booing Phil Foden, who they argue we should not give any stick too because he is a great young player. (Missing the point that in football fan terms he is a great young player who plays for the opposition!) I also didn't notice much of this. There was more booing of Gundogan after The Amex decided that he made a meal of AJ's late challenge on him. They have that down, not as an overstretch for a ball he couldn't reach, but as an automatic red and possibly the most despicable tackle ever made. (I see MotD didn't bother showing it. Although they could also be in on the conspiracy).
Apparently, any radio or TV pundit who didn't call out the imagined extreme anti-City bias of the officials is also in on the conspiracy. Ex City player Joleon Lescott in particular seems to be getting the full Liz Cheney treatment. None seem to wonder why, if the ref and VAR were so keen for us to win, they didn't take the obvious opportunity to give us a penalty for Garcia's handball. Quite a few seem to claim to know nearly everyone who goes to the Amex and are sure that we are all Man Utd/Arsenal/Liverpool fans and that is the only reason we wanted our team to beat them. (Yes, we fought all opposition for a decade to get our club back to Brighton because we're all Man Utd fans.)
Its an interesting read, as it seems to show the psychological impact on fans of their team winning and winning on a long term basis. The level of delusion on show is such that you stop getting angry about their wrongness, you go past the stage of feeling like Cartman drinking Scott Tennerman's tears and you get onto bafflement. Reading it seems like sticking a toe in one of those dodgy fifties human psychology experiments. You come away just wondering if they're alright.
Trevor Sinclair such a biased wnkr. On TS just then, putting our win down to awful decisions by the officials and he listed them. Going on and on about it.
Said with a token bit of praise "delighted for us", so that he doesn't come across as the very bitter Danny Mills last night.
Then ..... Sinclair moved on again to blaming Attwell for the robbery.
Also making an accusation that something (unknown) went on way beyond GP's goal celebration, to make Guardiola angry with us.
Dublin appeared to want to re-write the rules so that Atwell could give a foul but not acknowledge it prevented Welbeck a clear chance to score.
Their local rag is getting in on it too:

Including this delightful bit about the potential for City fans to volunteer in trying to break the BT Sport studio ref Peter Walton's leg:
He claimed that because the Brighton man’s leg was bent, the challenge did not have enough force to damage Gundogan.
If Walton fancies it, I’m sure there is more than one City fan out there willing to demonstrate that a bent leg can deliver enough force to inflict serious injury, if the ex-ref wants to bare his knobblies. It was an abysmal challenge, a red card all day long.
D'yknow what? City have long occupied a low level of regard in my head. They are the embodiment of the greed and avarice in modern football. But I'd always given the fans a pass because, hey, it's not their fault the club they support is nothing more than a PR mechanism for an oil state with despicable human rights records. Not after this though. They can all get straight in the sea.
I hope Chelsea bend them over backwards in the CL final. Bunch of no mark, pathetic, whinging little piss stains.

There's nothing quite like beating a PetroState team.
