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

[The Mole]

We’re going to miss Groß

 

[Sussax]

Just cracked open the first beer of the day. Football is so back.

 

[Auckland seagull]

MUFC are unarguably one of the biggest clubs in the world. In every sense. How crazy is it to feel so confident about beating them? Wonderful times.

Man City, Liverpool and Arsenal are the only teams I'd "take a draw" against with these days.

 

[Bodian]

If all the big six could be beaten this weekend, that would be amazing.

Bit of a tall order to beat all the big six in one weekend - even with our ever-expanding squad!

Never confident of a win against United - their ability to play badly and skank a lucky win is always a threat. I'll settle for 'hopeful'!

 

[Birdie Boy]

3 or 4 nil, very confident.

 

[7dialssouthpaw]

Please no Man Utd penalties after the final whistle today

still hurts my brain ...

 

[SeagullsoverLondon]

Please no Man Utd penalties after the final whistle today

What about one for us in the 97th?

 

[oldboyroy]

3 or 4 nil, very confident.

Weather crap at moment although may stop by kick off. Will take any win (or draw if we fall behind) but yes, a nice thumping win will make an early season statement!

 

[SeagullsoverLondon]

It strange, feeling so confident we can beat Man U, but really believe we can play them off the park, if we start well today

 

[LamieRobertson]

Draw

 

[Wrong-Direction]

A nice 2 - 0 come on

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

These used to be something

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Read the small print answer - it is a play on the word “screw”

Back on topic and looking forward to the match - ETH hasn’t had such a successful transfer season so far, according to the Man U fan I sit next to at work. They have had trouble shifting some of their bloat to finance a complete overhaul of their midfield as well as several CBs and a striker. They are still a side in transition.

On the other hand, I think ’wearebrighton’ Mark II and head into the second match of the season very much fortified already and invigorated under a new, young manager.

Let’s see what a week’s training has done for us post-Everton - this would be a big win for us.

Ah, I see....still thought the joke was trumped up though

 

[heathgate]

But there are some lovely long train sets on the line today. Everything to and from Seaford are 7 or 8 carriages.

....are they set up to cope with the 'Sussex Red' hordes?

 

[Coldeanseagull]

What about one for us in the 97th?

To make it 5-0

 

[Mustafa II]

I'm buzzing to see the lineup today.

 

[Berty23]

Ha! Yes, likewise. But today is a rare free weekend so I’ve bought tickets for me and the kids for the BIG match!



(Cambridge Utd vs Blackpool)

Typically we go and watch my mates play in national league north at Brackley. Leave home 2pm. Home 5.30.

Man City, Liverpool and Arsenal are the only teams I'd "take a draw" against with these days.

And they may be starting to feel the same about the Albion.
