[Harry Wilson's tackle]

So true..thought MOR came across really well..he’s got the X factor!

And lovely teeth.

We’ve got little chance of Europe or top ten but I’d “Love it” if BHA upset the apple cart and finished in the champions league places ahead of Entitled FC and We Deserve To Be There Utd.

Go get em Brighton .

His uncle wasn’t it ?

His grandfather I think.

 

[AK74]

His grandfather I think.

Grandfather was chairman in the 1960s.

EDIT: grandfather vice chairman.

Uncle on the board in the 1970s and 1980s.

IIRC.

EDIT: IDNRC

IIRC.

I could have sworn the grandfather was on the board when we went up. Ah well, memory playing tricks again.

 

[AK74]

I’m wrong about the grandfather as chairman.

Vice chairman in the Bamber era, possibly.

[Ooh it’s a corner]

MOR! MOR! MOR! how do you like it! How do you like it!

A true connection Andrea - well done!

He was. It was the 70s and then died on the team bus in October 1980.
Ray Bloom went on the board in 1984.

Bloom influence grows as Albion head for Falmer

Their name could not be more appropriate. To bloom, the dictionary tells us, means to flower, to flourish.

Beating Man City means diddly squat if we don't beat SCUM next month.

It means more unless you are obsessed re Palace. We need to get over them there are distant memories now.

 

[Questions]

This team/club never fails to amaze me. What was Poyet on about ? CEILINGS wasn’t it ?

You might be on your own there, we won last night great second half performance against a weaker than normal City side. I’d rather beat Palarse every day of the week.

City fans again fantastic

Easily the best supporters to deal with from any of the “big “ clubs

No coincidence that they’re also the least insecure, along with Liverpool fans

 

[Pondicherry]

Not sure if this has been mentioned before but anyway, Pep was on the touchline for the whole of the warm ups. This was from when the goalkeepers were warming up (1 hour before kick off) and before the City keepers had actually come out and included a two or three minute conversation with Jason Steele whilst Steele was on the touchline fielding the warm up long kicks from Verbruggen. Not sure if they know each other somehow or if Pep was trying to persuade him to move to City as a back up keeper.

 

[FCB]

Congrats for a great win. Enjoy watching your team playing when they are "on" like in second half of this game.

Well yeah, we'd be win the title by miles if we were beating Palace 7 times a week.

Yes they're normally OK. Genuinely don't have too much issue with most of the bigger clubs fans to be honest. Especially those that attend. Some quality 'shameless' accents heading up the slope near me yesterday.

The Big exception for me are united. Who always seem like smug, unpleasant pricks.
