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

[Mellotron]

I find it odd that people are saying we have nothing to play far. Given the way the results have gone this week Europe bizarrely is back on if we ever start winning games again. Not too mention our berth in the top ten is under threat now.

Be it the very faint hopes of European football, or the prestige of racking up another top ten finish (and the associated cash bonus), not to mention the opportunity to make a statement by getting results at home against the top of the table clubs I'd say that there is still plenty to play for.

Quite disheartening to see how disinterested some people are in our remaining fixtures.

Europe has ALWAYS been at least a bit on, based purely on how dreadful most of the sides around us are.

Just a shame we’re determined to match them lately.

Bowled him out for 0 when he was playing for Newick CC.

Please take that as a blow for gay rights...

I take it as a blow for all humanity.

This is going to be as grim as f***.

I literally can’t watch… I’m about as confident as a sheff utd fan would be against City… let’s not dress it up, we’ve been a shadow of our best for a few weeks now… this is going to be a long, long night.

Yesterday’s presser or depresser as I’m now referring to them sums it up… Roberto has utterly lost his spark… akin to damp fart in a tent on a sodden fell near Whitby… it’s all too shit, I can’t listen to him tell us how crap we’ve got it… if I'm as lethargic about it as I am, it’s little wonder Fati looks like he’d sooner be sitting on a beach earning 20%… and he’s not the only one.

At least a 4 goal defeat.

If Everton can beat Liverpool 2 -0, then we are fully capable of losing this 2 -0.
Hang on....that's not quite what I meant, but you get the gist.

 

[dstanman]

There is always hope that we may get something out of this.

Can’t even watch via Fubo as I’ll be flying from St John’s to Ottawa. Hoping for a good result, but not expecting one.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Can't remember a time recently when my expectations were so low. Whether it's the ridiculous injury list, lack of balls, RDZ off or whatever, but I just can't think with us getting a result. Just hoping not for a hammering.

Still, I'll be there.

It’s been a while since I’ve been in the mindset that we can beat anyone on the day but here I am waiting for a coach in the pissing rain

Spence? Is that you?

At least when we lose we have the consolation prize that this guy is going to be unhappy

So over all you’re quite positive

I almost want us to lose to piss him off.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Quite looking forward to the match and support the team ….ALBION!

 

[KZNSeagull]

A magnificently negative match thread, just like the old days. Therefore:
We will WIN 2-1

 

[WATFORD zero]

For the vast majority of my Albion supporting life, playing the best 2/3 teams in the country was an absolute fantasy. Actually playing them with any chance of a result, any result, was way beyond that. See you there

A few more years and you may well regret missing this

 

[US Seagull]

A free hit for us vs immense pressure for them.

We'll probably still lose.

Oh well.
