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

[FatSuperman]

The game is vital if we have any aspirations of finishing in the top 15 , carpe diem chaps .

Absolutely! And we must remember that from next season there is one less relegation candidate in the mix, as ‘The Mighty Leeds’ will of course be up top fighting for the title. Therefore, it is important we lay this marker as an established top 15 side.

These are a good side were loose

Anyone tempted to watch a different match this afternoon? So much at stake at the bottom, whereas ours is almost guaranteed 0-0, 1-1 or a 1-0 going either way.

 

[Pinkie Brown]

The aim must be to finish as high and and with as many points as possible, dead rubber or not. Worst end of season game I can remember was that snooze fest at Milton Keynes a few years back. Hopefully no repeat of that today. They have a few key players missing so we 'maybe' have a chance of nicking something if we're up for it. My tea leaves prediction suggests a 2-0 win.

 

[Wellesley]

It's probably a good job there'll be no fans at the West Ham vs Villa game. I heard that the last time this fixture was played there was claret everywhere.

Seagulls over Dubai will be meeting up as usual. Fancy dress optional, though with some of the usual garb on display it wouldn't be much different to normal.

We'll be joined by a Burnley mate who on occasion fits the NSC stereotype, so expect fireworks off the pitch if there aren't exactly too many on it.

I'm just hoping we can get through taking the knee before it all kicks off in more ways than one.

 

[Beach Hut]

So excited

 

[The Kid Frankie]

Genuinely want to see a win today as much as any other fixture. Fuking hate Burnley

 

[nicko31]

Would be nice to end strongly...

 

[zefarelly]

As I said before, I think, and hope, we go out and play to win . . . End the season on. High, injury free and in a good place for the restart

Burnley may score, but we'll score at least one more.

Looking forward to this one, is lallana playing?

 

[Official Old Man]

Phone, Tablet, Laptop & TV. Decision is which game on which screen. Albion on big screen first half for sure but swop for another game second.
Imagine
70th Min. B'muff lead 1:0. Watford & Villa both loosing 1:0 It's all on GD and Goals For.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Indeed, just need to decide which platform for which match

 

[Stato]

When asked about Burnley in his press conference, Graham Potter offered praise and rejection of the usual criticisms of Dyche's style: https://www.independent.co.uk/sport...g-style-disrespectful-epl-table-a9637456.html

Compare that with the weak beer response that Dyche gave (8:10 to 8:50) when asked whether he thought Potter had done a good job: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAeYbjWMyQo

I wondered why Dyche didn't feel able to mutter a few platitudes instead of talking about management in general, perhaps his usual grinding feeling of resentment when he imagines that these media liked footballing type managers don't have it as tough as he does. 'Potter may not be foreign, but he certainly acts like it. I bet he drinks lattes.....Grrr'

Then I saw the news breaking about Lallana and wondered if Dyche had heard that Potter may have beaten him to the signing: (https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/adam-lallana-transfer-race-hots-22091086). 'Grrr, why should he get any credit. He has it easy. His club supports and helps him. Our lot wouldn't even shell out for Dale Stephens....and I'm way above him in the table. What about me? What about the job I've done? grind grind grind. Better not say anything... grind grind. I'll say that all managers work hard in a way that seems to suggest that I work hardest.'

Not available on TV for me (subscription only channel). Not really bothered - will have the commentary from AlbionTV, plus following it on here. That'll be plenty for a very low key affair.

 

[Dick Head]

So excited

were loose

 

[Brok]

I think I've sussed it... Albion on a stream, with the sound down. Final Score on TV, with the sound up.

 

[Icy Gull]

My interest in this game will be piqued once I see GP’s Tombola ball has given Ali J a start :

 

[Mexican Seagull]

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Nailed on 15 goal thriller.

You'll regret not tuning in. I for one cannot wait until tomorrow morning when I'll get to watch the full match replay. On slo mo.
