I get it, you just ignored my actual point because you saw an opportunity to yet again allude to the fact you chat to Chris occasionally. That's fine. Carry on.

Now that WAS worth a watch. Cheers.
Nice balanced view of the game

I agree! Only one thing I didn't quite agree on and that's him not saying martin is a horrible little c***
Yes their goal tally matched ours

Silly old bat
Why was the Derby keeper completely in black, exactly the same as the referee?
That was never my intention. The rest of the points in your post were fairly good, valid and reasonable points. Why would I challenge points that for the most part I agreed with.
The part on Dunk I highlighted because I had discussed this issue very recently, quite simply because of the Penalty he gave away against Burnley so it was something I knew the answer to. I personally think Uwe is a better player than Dunk, which was not agreed with - And in my post I mentioned the reasons I was disagreed with. I thought you may have been interested in knowing those thoughts. Obviously not.
I think you are missing the point. I agree with you that the manager has picked a player as they're the best option (for any number of reasons) so when fans overly criticise the player I often disagree, not because their selection means they're great, but because the manager has all the information we don't have, and has deemed that player is, as you put it, the best option. So if they're the best option, it doesn't mean they're brilliant, they're just the best option, and their selection is justified.
There are different ways to disagree. You could say 'I think Uwe would be a better choice than Dunk for such and such a game' is a way of respectfully disagreeing with the managers choice. And the manager themselves may have been in quite a quandary over which player to pick on a given day. Another way of disagreeing would be to say 'Uwe is better than Dunk and should have been picked instead'. That's making it less of an opinion and more a statement of fact, and clearly implying that you know more than the manager, which is ridiculous.
Indeed, and debating the pros and cons of different players and team set-ups is easily possible without pretending you know more about our players than the talented professional that works with them on a daily basis.
If someone is stupid enough to say that Hughton doesn't know what he's doing and he'd be better picking a completely different team, then yes, expect to see me, making a fool of the fools.

Your Tl;dr was a bit too long, so I didn't read it.

Haha 'Chris'. You might as well say 'the Brighton manager I know and you don't'. It's painfully obvious you want to be thought of as 'in the know', so many of your post resonate it and thus have an air of condescension about them. Either say what you know or don't, but giving subtle clues you're more informed than other people while at the same time providing nothing of real substance will pee people off fairly quickly (you seem to already have me and Acker).

Not seen such Bravery!
I like reading NooBHA's posts. It's the Palace Goons posting on here who pee me off, personally, more than the posts of an interesting poster.

It's not that Uwe is not vocal. It's just that no one in the Albion knows what "Gib den Ball weiter!" means.

Don't you think this post is rather offensive? They guy has direct conversations with Hughton and gives us insight, to an extent, into those conversations. I would say "please carry on, it's much appreciated", unless you think he's making it all up?

Passive aggressive, maybe. Probably a little bitchy. But offensive? No. There are a lot of people on here who have (or claim to have) inside information. It's not overly special. My issue was that NooBHA completely (and seemingly deliberately) ignored the point of my post (which was a request for people not lazily dismissing any criticism with flawed logic), just so s/he could once again let us all know s/he is in conversation with Chris.
I have explained the reason in a later post and even stated that I agreed with most of your original post and that I only picked up on that one point because it was a subject that was discussed. If you only want to pick up on the negative I cant stop you but I did genuinely agree with most of what you said but if that still upsets you I won't contradict anything you say from now on because I really don't want to fall out with anyone. Well not unless people say negative things about Chris. Can't tell you the number of time I fell out with people on the Norwich boards as you can probably imagine but even some of negative things I can accept as well because I don't have ''blind allegiance''
