[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Southampton *** Official Match Thread ***

[Si Gull]

By letting the score another?

I was ignoring that as it was determined to be offside so technically we didn't let them score another. I was close to a heart attack, mind.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Did anyone else notice the moment in the second half were Ferguson took a sip of the Southampton physio's drink as the physio was treating one of their players close to the north stand? One of the Southampton players then gave him a load of verble and Ferguson ignored it and spat down next to him, before Ward-Prowse got involved.

It was such an odd exhange. Are our players told to sip from the opponents drinks to wind them up? Mitoma seems to do it quite a lot also.

My other important observation of the day is the <10 year old kid of one of the players (Dunk?) smashing a (maybe not regulation) penalty into the top right of the goal. Superb hit, sign him up!

Yeah but I'm not sure we technically responded well either. We responded well to their second being disallowed though.

Thank god for Pascal (and at the end he said it was his best ever day as a footballer )

I am beyond happy at the moment. So many years of struggle, shit football, ground sharing, squatting at a shitty little athletics stadium. And now we find ourselves here, with European competition to come next season. So f***ing proud.

Same here. Your brother's still a twat though.

Well given Southampton’s season it won’t have been to check for performance enhancing substances

There you go, dad, and don't forget to pay St. Peter on the gate. See you (not too, I hope) soon. x

Lost my dad last June and today meant a lot. Tear in my eye when Gross scored and at the final whistle. Such a shame he didn't get to see this.

 

[Stat Brother]

It’s weird because I swear I saw everyone dancing and singing along to the SHITE music

I sat down as soon as Sweet Caroline kicked off!

 

[Triggaaar]

I've never thanked you for your 'Match Day Threads', so I will do so now.
Thank you.

And I'd like to thank @TomandJerry for not starting any this time

I was saving myself for our European tour .. we are going to need the big guns out for that ...

Pascals goal

 

[trueblue]

He's been an integral part of every achievement since we got promoted to the money league, whilst being an absolute bargain, ands arguably the best value of anyone.

Genuinely, Gross's performances over a long period of time, I'm not sure there can have been a more important player in our history. Obviously there've been moments like the Reinelt goal but this guy has been so influential. Absolutely brilliant today - which really is just what we've come to expect.

It's all about Solly, Pascal and Lewis for me.
Love the others, but those three have contributed so much.

Did you have the vegan mushroom pie?

Err no ... why would I?

Agreed. They all have. I just think Gross, from the very beginning, demonstrated the quality everyone required to prosper at this level. Perfect positioning, always on the move, intelligent passes and almost always gets his shots on target. Thank goodness he's as slow as a milk float, otherwise we'd never have been lucky enough to watch him for so long.

Needed a rest from boogying to the other stuff then

 

[Motogull]

I can't be arsed to read the whole thread but man alive was I relieved with that VAR offside decision. Last season they came from behind to draw 2-2 with us didn't they?

JWP and TW had a purple patch but with the second ruled out, they lost it.

Now the dust has settled, what a great game - it had everything really.

Praise the lord for Pascal.

Post game it was quite strange with some people being allowed back to their seat with an alcoholic drink and others being refused, which stewards were right?

You'd have thought scousers would be able to catch a milk float.

I dont understand why, when winning 2-0 and cruising you put Buonanotte on, unless Enciso injured.....

I'm sure theres a good future player in there, but EVERY time he is on, we look like we have 10 men and fall apart.

I really couldn't understand that substitution either. Enciso always looks dangerous, Buona not quite at the right level yet.
