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

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

f*** me I was not expecting that, like having last year's team back.

Alf Ramsey invented the wingless wonders.
RDZ has invented the full backless dream team and the new wingless wonders!

 

[Eeyore]

Only worry is the opportunities we missed, aside of the excellent keeping.

Someone needs to have a word with Facundo though. That was a really silly booking to carry through a match.

 

[dazzer6666]

Wow. Wasn't expecting that.

 

[SeagullsoverLondon]

What a half of football from both sides.
But we are fantastic tonight. Really on it.
Milner playing like an 18 year old , all energy. Best game for us.
I don't want to say this, but I really hope we don't regret the Welbeck and Pedro chances.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Enjoyable. The bloody gooners have just conceded though

 

[BBassic]

Even at 2 up I can already feel this 2nd half is going to shred my nerves

 

[BadFish]

Absolutely extraordinary performance from the ref so far. Not one decision in our favour, not one - he even missed the pull.

And Milner's strangulation.

 

[GoingUp]

So strange Joao took that 1 v 1 over on to his left side, instead of taking the ball across field.

I'm torn. Can't they both lose? West ham for our league position and Arsenal because it would be funny

 

[Steviewonder]

Five minutes added on in first half, yet there was only one stoppage - for the VAR check. They just make these numbers up.

Thought same. A joke!

I'd laugh into the new year if wet sham lost

[Mancgull]

I got to praise Steele today. He has been excellent.

Not doing useless passing and kicking it upfield a few times. His decision-making today has been great.

Yes, he’s hoofed it when the right thing to do.

 

[GoingUp]

Welbeck has been immense since he's come back into the team.

 

[Pevenseagull]

That Milner chap is pretty good.

 

[jellycat]

Has any goalkeeper gone the right way when Pedro takes a penalty?

 

[oldboyroy]

Come on lads we can do this

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Milner is having the game of his life. Only downside so far -- the tomato soup is like piss water.

 

[London Irish]

I’m still sitting here stunned we didn’t get a third - wouldn’t bloody go in
