[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Tottenham Hotspur *** Official Match Thread ***

2-2 ....gone large ....have no idea why

 

[LamieRobertson]

Is it really a year ago today we were promoted?

Yes year to the day...here is a little reminder of why footballers shouldn’t try singing

 

[Mo Gosfield]

If we win this we will be 10 points clear in 11th place, that will be a big boost for us. We are at the time of the season when the unexpected is slightly more likely, Lets do this.

The only unexpected tonight will be if CH rests some of the players who have been complete gash lately but we all know that he will keep flogging them until there is nothing left in the tank.

You're wearing a large tutu tonight - perish the thought !

 

[Goberpiles]

Need a big performance from the team and the crowd tonight I’m hoping that we get off to a good start so the crowd stay excited rather then the dull starts we have had in the past against a top team and the crowd has been muted. Will take a point I would love all 3 but I feel 1 more point keeps us in the league, Swansea, Stoke and Southampton all playing each other at the death and Palace I just don’t feel enough games are available for all those teams right at the bottom to pull free.

Ah, that's alright then. There's nothing worse than hairy legs with a tutu. All clear for the "Dance of the sugar plum elephant".

“It will be tough. They have good players and they have been capable of beating teams like Arsenal at home. We need to take this game very seriously.
Mauricio Pochettino

They always say that when they are worried about complacency. I'd sooner Spurs played their first team (with complacency) rather than their eager youngsters. Until it comes to set pieces.

We do not do so well against pressing teams; Spurs (probably the best), Liverpool and Huddersfield.

I don't find Spurs particularly entertaining to watch. Efficient more than flair.

Nearly 40 years ago on the 15th April 1978 - Brighton & Hove Albion v Tottenham Hotspur was my first game at the Goldstone, my dear uncle Bob who is struggling at the moment took me along.

Anyone recall the score that day ?

Repeat please.

Bad news folks, I'm going ..... we're loose

 

[Coldeanseagull]

I'm full of cold, banging headache etc. The radio will be my pillow

How do you get snot out of speaker gauze?

Admittedly with hindsight, I get the feeling that that should have been a consideration two or three games ago............................

 

[Invicta]

35 years and 2 weeks ago (2 April 1983) Brighton last played a home league fixture against Tottenham. That was the first game that my Dad ever took me and my Spurs supporting brother to.

Tonight Brighton host Tottenham in the league again and to honour that game 35 years ago, I am bringing my Dad with me to the game (unfortunately my brother is in the US so can’t attend with us)

I don’t remember much of that game in 1983, but have viewed the YouTube highlights to jog my memory. It certainly wasn’t a classic but Chris Hughton had a good game for Spurs. However, the ending was a thriller, with 2 red cards and 2 late Brighton goals (Gatting and Ryan) to clinch a 2-1 win. I remember my brother crying all the way home after that.

Here’s to the same result tonight!

Great video on this. North Stand with no roof and the world's smallest dugout !!

I think we'll get at least a point tonight.

No logic, no rationale, just sheer gut feeling.

Take that now

There's 3 Spurs fans in the office, one from Ipswich, one from Lincoln and the other sounds northern but can't work out where, I said I'll sing a song for them as none of them could make it. None seemed optimistic that they'll get anything from this game. I think were loose

I’m sure players are aware that fans are ‘very disappointed’ with the performance and result at the weekend.

So, I’m hoping another Swansea style performance will be delivered; of course, Spurs could still win (and most likely will) even if we are at our very best.

Would be *delighted* with a point.

 

[perseus]

Pleased with a deserved point, delighted with a win, worried about a loss, despondent if we lose by more than two. Not too pleased with a flukey point, just might be relieved.
