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

[doogie004]

Down in Truro watching my grandson in a five a side tournament as it’s our 30th anniversary weekend still can’t believe I’m missing this game . Apparently your not even allowed to shout encouraging comments at kids footy anymore no way am I going to last watching that and listening at same time
Good luck to all that’s going back on Wednesday for city

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Please, please, please win. Please. Please.

Everyone going make noise. Make noise like the sheffield wednesday play off game. Make the noise that will propel us into Europe.

Europe! f***ing Europe! It's one win away!

So please, scream, shout, clap, chant the team to victory.

Please!

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

All I ask is that we don't give away free kicks in JWP range. Please. Thanks.

That includes corners

We haven't taken many points in games against teams in the relegation places this season. Time to change that.

Yes. And Those two recent defeats are hard to shake off but we've also beaten Southampton, Leeds, Leicester, Everton, Wolves (twice), West Ham (twice) and Bournemouth (twice) this season - all of whom were either in the bottom three or flirting with it at the time or are now. Thats why we're close to securing a place in EL.

(Them up the road are about to go through a season without a win against anyone higher than them in the table)

You can make yourselves immortal today boys and a team that’ll live long in the memories

I misread this as saying "You can make yourselves immoral today boys..." which shows I need a third strong coffee before setting off for the Amex!

We are on the 8am train and on our way to The Amex ….Junior checking the ‘live blog pre match update’ !!! Bit early for that Long old day (home 10.30pm) but so worth it. Surprisingly calm and confident right now

Stuck at Clapham with saints fans everywhere in great song

 

[dolphins]

Funnily enough I was pretty calm this morning but have just spend an hour catching up on various threads while doing a tiny bit of work (am self-employed), and now the nerves are really building. Damn you NSC!

As a relatively new Brighton and Hove Albion supporter I've no memories of the Goldstone ground,the Hereford match was something I vaguely remember reading about on the back page of the News of the World and quickly skipped to the weather report for the coming week,so it's very hard to know what those who've experienced that and called the Goldstone their home felt but I can say right now this is by far the biggest game I've had the pleasure to attach my feelings to,and I'm so nervous I just want to wake up tomorrow and know the team came through and we won those 3 history making points.

I'm not even sure I can watch it to be truthful,I do hope that if it's not going to plan our supporters really stick with the team and push them over that winning post,what a day this could be,when you read about the history of Brighton and Hove Albion it seems ridiculous to know that we're 1 win away from playing European football! Just crazy

Good luck boys.

It’s the mini run official signing putting it past AMEX…. Mini’s everywhere

 

[Questions]

Albion can struggle against such teams .. To the unknowing, this looks a nailed on win for us but ....we know Brighton!
Don’t let doubt creep in , let’s cheer them to victory!

The A23 was littered with broken down Minis.

 

[Jimmy Come Lately]

We need one win from the last three games of the season, and if we don't get anything from the next two it will all come down to the final match at Villa. I'm old enough to remember the last time that happened. Fingers crossed we make it over the line this time.

Even one on the Amex bridge.

Please, please, please win. Please. Please.

Everyone going make noise. Make noise like the sheffield wednesday play off game. Make the noise that will propel us into Europe.

I sort of agree, but then we've been winning games all season without a special amount of noise - is there a danger that a Playoff like atmosphere will make the game feel different, and make them feel under more pressure? Or make them attack like mad and leave us vulnerable at the back like vs Everton?

I don't want to see any defending like against Newcastle, where our last defender is at the half way line, along with one of their strikers.

I'd like the players to play as they've planned and without panic that we're running out of time.

Normally when my NBA team and my AFL team loses my PL team loses on the same weekend. Both the former have lost this weekend...
