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

[Perfidious Albion]

A useful away point but I don't say we are there yet. Still, taking a point off Spurs gives hope that we can do the same with the big boys to come.

Good point but another dire performance. Things need to change next season if we stay up.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Hard earned would imply the Albion were under pressure for large parts of the game.
That's not how I saw it.

No, hard earned implies that we had to work bloody hard to get the point. Which we did.

 

[DumLum]

That must be the dictionary definition of a hard earned point.

Southampton winning means we probably need another one now...

We probably don't.

That must be the dictionary definition of a hard earned point.

It was also the dictionary definition of dull.

Woeful game to watch, but happy to come away with a point from there. Would have taken that before the game.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

We probably don't.

I hope you're right. I'd like another point just to be safe though.

 

[*Gullsworth*]

Yes we could smash UTD at home, that would be very enjoyable mate.

I would love it LOVE IT (Kevin Keegan stylee ) if we smashed United, just squeak a win would be unbelievable.

Yep, it certainly wsn't pretty. Then again our games against Dyche's sides never are. They're just scraps.

I don't think so.
Burnley weren't exactly huffing and puffing to blow our house down, and the Albion certainly weren't.

Any hard work that the team had to do was predominately self inflicted.

We're virtually certain if Swansea lose tonight. Southampton playing Swansea in one of the remaining games means they can't both get the points .

Good night all.

West Brom & Stoke can't catch us. Swansea have got to play Stoke and Southampton, so points lost in either of those games.

All-in-all a decent set of results:-
- Liverpool choking again will give Chelsea a boost and give Stoke something to play for vs Swansea
- Hudds losing was great; I thought they’d get something and possibly a win
- Our point means Hudds need 3 and Swansea 4, maybe 5, and West Ham 2 to overhaul us
- I had Saints down for a win anyway today; but had us losing
- Palace were always going to get safe

A Chelsea win tonight would see our odds of relegation go out further. It was the Hudds and Swans games I was most keen went our way today. COYB...

I hope you're right. I'd like another point just to be safe though.

I would like another 3 points.
I think a neutral would say 'Possibly' would have been a better word than 'probably'.
I guess we have learnt to be pessimistic to protect ourselves though. Which is fair enough.

 

[TSB]

It is beyond belief that people STILL think we can go down.
Have they seen Huddersfield's fixtures? Or West Ham's? Or Southampton's? Or Swansea's?

****in' 'ell. Unbelievable.

 

[Napier]

Chelsea score!

 

[*Gullsworth*]

Chelsea score!

Let's hope they score a hatfull

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Swansea losing.... we are safe.
We were anyway

Burnley do what they do well. Very physical, though fall over easily, play to win free kicks around the box so they lump crosses in, well organised at the back with two excellent keepers. Not pretty to watch though....
