Brighton on Football Focus

[Blackadder]

Enjoyed that.

Payet and Costa.. take note

 

[Mackenzie]

He's a darling.

Lawrenson must have the same condition as Hove Born and Bred.

Seems to enjoy winding people (in particular Brighton fans) up.

 

[SeagullinExile]

He's a Preston fan - So fair play to him

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

I thought he was very genuine wishing us well.

Of course Preston are his team, so I wouldn't read too much into him wanting a good result for them.

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

Guessing that was filmed at Lancing.

"I hope they go up winning every game except today against Preston" would have been slightly more diplomatic, no?

Indeed. Also pleased that they did not focus on Hughton too much as he is a better than at least half the managers in the Premier League including Big Sam.

Yep, glorious isn't it.

No need to be diplomatic, it's his home-town club. Some people are far too easily offended.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

I remember Keown playing for us. We borrowed him from Arsenal and played him up front as an emergency striker in a few games.

He's also a season ticket holder, I'd be saying the same.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Bloody hell - Lawro has just admitted - without prompting - that he once played for us!

Maybe you missed Football Focus when we played Doncaster in our first League game at the Amex. He stood in front of his banner by the West Stand and talked about how much we deserved the new stadium.

 

[Wellesley]

Genius.

Indeed. The myth that he ignores his time at Brighton is bizarre.

If i had played for a legendary Liverpool team I would also talk about/be expected to be asked about that a lot more as well.

He couldn't have looked more embarrassed to be honest when called a bona fide Brighton legend.

The man has no affinity for us, so I have none for him.

I hope his career continues to be smashed by superior pundits like Danny Murphy.

Tosh. He was very good that day, and what he said today was very much tongue in cheek.

Deary me, there's a back-handed compliment. I'm no fan of Lawro's as a pundit but I think if he took a vow of the silence for the day, he'd still be a better pundit than Danny Murphy.

 

[dingodan]

To be honest I would be a little embarassed if he gushed over us. I really find him quite annoying as a pundit.

Yeah, AFTER we got it.
