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

[BN9 BHA]

There isn't much in life that can beat the euphoria of a late injury time winner

Especially against them

 

[albionalba]

Loved that last ten mins - great all round team effort to nick the win. And great atmosphere. Makes up for soaking and badly delayed flight home.

Rashford's body language was abysmal and he should be ashamed of himself. Thought he got a bad press with the whole politics thing but now he is stealing a living.

He looks like he's fallen out of love with football and would rather be fishing or watching telly.

He needs to leave. He wasn’t the only utd player looking like he wanted to be somewhere else.

I'm especially pleased today, as I'm one of those 'bad' fans. who always leave a couple of minutes early to run to get a train for the long journey home.

Held off today, sensed a winner was coming.....cue header, celebrations up on my seat, etc, etc! Happy Days!!

It looked to me in the last 10 minutes like they were happy with a point while we were trying to win it. Justice, therefore, done.

Last year's fully fit team.

No Verbruggen, no March

Quick question for the new kit…is it correct sizing ie an XL is like a normal Nike XL. Asking for a large friend.

btw. How good is this new guy from Leeds.

Yeh he looked superb. Wonder if that’s where he’ll play on the right. He can’t take Pedro’s spot as the 10

Man U fans in complete meltdown

“Brighton, or more specifically their owner's SOLE purpose in football is to profit from whatever talents they can sell to other teams, using the club as its vessel to do so, and you can't really argue otherwise. They've never won any trophies of note, they've never won the league, and they never will. Their owners, the board, nor their fanbase will never aspire the club to be at that level, even for a short period of time. What matters is the profit they get from flipping players like Caicedo, and rinse and repeat with that profit. Clubs with similar stature in city and stadium size have previously won titles and domestic cups so that's not really an excuse, either. (e.g. Deportivo)

A completely pointless, useless club that won't be missed by anybody if they disappeared tomorrow. Being our bogey team is just the icing on the shit cake.”

Bit we still beat you - you plastic bauble

I don't hate the club, but their fans are incredibly hateable, when they post shit like that.

Like many of Utd’s squad, they are on HUGE money they simply won’t get elsewhere, there’s no incentive for them to leave.

Rashford’s on £15m per year, can’t see who would offer him close to that. His career might benefit, his bank account won’t.

Sancho’s the same, he’s on £13m, no wonder he’s not gone either.

Horrible fans on train home singing songs about 96 people who died going to a football match. Just so socially unacceptable at all levels

Absolutely. You’d be mad to leave.

Let’s see how that United fan feels if we finish 4th and they’re 5th or 6th. That would be smashing.

 

[BNthree]

Their obnoxious fans hating on us is the icing on the cake for me. Shows we’ve riled them good and proper despite all their history and “greatness”.

 

[US Seagull]

The amazing thing about our start to this season is that I feel we are still a decent way from showing our best. Both in terms of players coming back from injury, new players coming in and the manager getting his tactics implemented.

Exciting times...

 

[US Seagull]

BIG rumours on Twatter that Ten Hag could be about to be sacked. Apparently today was an ultimatum result. They certainly didn’t play like it.

I reckon he’s gone by the end of the weekend.

Ps how shit was Rashford? Utter turd

Again? Or is this going to be another "they've sacked him and then realize nobody else wants the job"?

 

[AmexRuislip]

But probably right - they could have won that game. Fine margins.

He does do a lovely Schteve Mclaren impression.

Both games were gritty, all effort with moments of quality and yes - dashes of luck - when needed.

I’ll take that all season please

(but I agree with your post)

Very possibly the latter. I think he’s very close.

3 subs on 88 minutes? Don't like that much.
