[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester City *** Official Match Thread ***

[Official Old Man]

3:04 what happened? Having a lay in this morning?
Strange feeling of excitement that we could win but that should we lose heavily then MOTD will be all over us.
0:0 for me.

When does the big protest about dodgy owners/oil money ruining football start?

Guardiola, obviously still smarting from the game last season, has promised that a different Citeh will turn up today.

After failing to win the last 3 games, this could be a huge weekend for our main title rivals if we lose and they win. The gap would be 7 points to Chelsea, 6 points Liverpool and 5 points to Citeh.

I don’t want to turn this thread negative but you can’t let these sorts of teams pull those sorts of gaps on you if you’re serious about lifting the EPL trophy in May. A draw is the minimum result needed to keep our title challenge on course in my opinion.

Why the hell not
Sooner we get to 40 pts the better

Absolutely, questions will have to be asked if this happens. We are a top four side we should not be losing home games against anybody.

While knowing that this is a free hit and we're almost definitely going to lose is anyone else feeling that if only we could maybe, some how, sneak a win then the top four charge is still on?

I know I know. We'll probably lose and we're not going to end up in the top four but I can't help it. After four years of scraping around for points at the arse end of the league the thrill of being near the top is getting the better of me. I'm enjoying it too much to want it to end.

Top of the table CLASH on prime time for champions league positions !

I hope Citeh do the courteous thing and apply lots of lube before administering the 90 minute buggering later.

That's the spirit.

When we beat the so called elite sides in the PL the media always say how poorly they played against BHA not how well we played. Tonight I'm going for 2-1 to the good guy and the media saying how poorly city played.

It's Hobson's choice really, isn't it. We can seethe with indignation when pundits go on about us playing some beautiful football (but we lost) or we can seethe with indignation when they point out that Citeh/Liverpool/Utd just weren't up for it on the day - key players missing, etc. (but we won).

The sooner we drop back down the table, the better. I can't stop these flamin' nose bleeds!

 

[Billy the Fish]

These are a good side

 

[Mackenzie]

I tell you what, let’s live up to Pep and his fans expectations and kick the shit out of this lot. Kick the shit.

 

[NorthstandRacoon]

It's my birthday weekend, so that means we will LOSE.

My guy says loss, my head says draw or nick a win as we CAN beat them!

 

[dadams2k11]

Imagine the scenes if we beat them and go ABOVE them.

Thing of dreams.

Here in the USA NBC Sports are doing a “fan zone” in LA. Good to see a few BHA flags and scarfs in the crowd. Well done to those who are there.

Robert Sanchez 8/1 to be booked. He's on 4 currently so would be suspended for cup match on Wednesday rather than a league Game.

ironically i think it will be EASIER for us to score vs City than it was at Norwich who packed their defence. Dont see City coming here and doing that! i'll take a sneaky 1-0 win in injury time

You should have a word with your guy...
