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

[ozzygull]

Good point and one I didn't consider.

Bit sad that the final home game of the season is midweek featuring 2 teams with nothing to play for, going to be quite underwhelming tonight I imagine in a season full of things to celebrate.

Think we should just enjoy that game tonight, make some real noise for the last time this season. it's what the players deserve.

 

[Easy 10]

Do we really want to go into the game on Sunday with Villa only needing to score 4? Or even 5, or 6? I would be terrified. It is certainly unlikely that would happen but I am sure they would give it a decent go if they get a sniff.

Well you say that, but bear in mind that primarily they need the 3 points to ensure they stave off Spurs and Brentford for that Conference League slot. So say they go 2 up against us - are they REALLY going to go completely gung-ho to get 5,6,7+ and risk getting picked off by one of the slickest teams in the League ? That would be pretty stupid.

I say again - we can lose 10-0 tonight, and Villa would have to win by 4. I could not be more relaxed.

Its done.

Theres going to be loads of empty seats tonight.

Every time I look at our ticket site there are more and more tickets available on the exchange and not many are selling (especially as it's a Wednesday night and the most expensive grade of game)

Also, Man City twitter is literally full of city fans trying to shift their tickets too. Obviously, the game has now become unimportant for them and I guess people are thinking the same goes for us to a lesser extent

If there are only 8,000 Brighton fans and no City fans that could work out well for us again. Let's see if we can talk the ref into another soft sending off.

Ake, Akanji, Dias and Grealish haven’t travelled = the spine of my Dream Team, FFS.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

It's not got 0-0 written all over it

 

[atomised]

at least we are all getting shiny new flags

Think a lot of people may have OD'ed on Amex games recently. One home game on 1st April. Then none for four weeks. Then FIVE in less than a month. Utterly absurd distibution of games when money's too tight to mention for many

Very long odds on 0-0

I just hope its a good game, 2-2 or 3-3 would be perfect.

Thats because the PL is run by a bunch of cash grabbing bastards.

IMO

That deprives me my chance to BOOOOOOO!

(Only joking, I've actually massively changed my opinion of him over recent weeks.)

Would get better organisation at a Fairground...

How could anyone od on this fabulous team and games at The Amex? Besides it's literally a free match for every Season Ticket holder.

Yup, cos every STH arrives by magic carpet, gorges on complimentary all-inclusive buffet and beers and has no job or school run in the morning

I don't think you understand this "supporting Brighton" business. I'm still expecting a delayed points deduction for Hughton's fist pumps.

 

[Dick Head]

I will be looking for an escape goat to blame too

Deniz Undav is our escape goat so that is a mute point.

 

[oneillco]

Hopefully grealish performance is as bad as his Chinese!

Agreed, but I hope he isn't booed by Brighton fans tonight, I mean yes he has a daft haircut, and yes he is annoyingly skilful and enjoys a bit of diving, and yes in my case I'm annoyed that he turned his back on the Rep.of Ireland, but he seems a decent human especially being nice to kids who drew life's short straw.

He 100% definitely won’t be.

I’ll stake Live By The Sea’s reputation on it.

Yeah yeah, bollocks to all that. If I was going tonight I would boo him. BOOOO.

I like Jack to be honest, good player and loves to wind up the opposition fans, we all would in his position.

That’s good. The one on my shed is looking a bit worse for wear
