[ChazzyBHA]

“In the end it was about keeping that score down. The fear is - it could have been worse," said Hughton.

To which I would have said: how much worse? Than 5-0 at home to Bournemouth... perhaps Chris left at 3-0 too.

The players certainly did.

Ouch.

If Chris was suggesting that 5-0 somehow represented damage limitations, well, all is lost frankly.

I thought that was a particularly odd comment.

“We were up against a dynamic Bournemouth.”

We made them look bloody dynamic, and then they took advantage.

Truly awful day, and pathetic interview. Step up a bit more Chris! We need you to show a bit more backbone and fight!!!

Has he lost his confidence too? Sounds like it

 

[Beach Hut]

He needs to look at Bournemouth on the road this season, not very good yet we meekly rolled over for them.

 

[Me and my Monkey]

Well, it could have been. And nearly was a couple of times. Well done lads, for keeping it down to just 5.

 

[Surf's Up]

It's not as if he doesn't know how Bmuff play, I'm struggling to find excuses for him.

Like we do for everyone. It's like we feel we're at a party we shouldn't have been invited to.

Why the **** are we the only team that has to play 38 away games this season? When the height of the manager's ambition is to 'win' every game 0-0 it is obvious what is going to happen.

Just when I thought today could not get worse, sake Hughton. Turning into bloody Hodgson.

Afraid I'm feeling the same as you.

 

[BBassic]

Haha what a tit.

Ten seconds before each happened I predicted goals 4 and 5. If we played another ten minutes I probably would have foreseen goals 6 and 7 as well. We really were that unbelievably bad, and that’s saying something after the horror second half at Fulham which I thought was the nadir of our season.

But on the plus side, during the first half, while he was faffing around not crossing I did manage to shout:-

"Bernie Inn"



The highlight of my life.

BLOOM: We have reason to believe you may be hiding one bedwetter, a member of the terrorist organisation, the 'People's Front of NSC'

HUGHTON: Me? No. I'm just a poor old man. I have no time for law-breakers. My legs are grey. My ears are gnarled. My eyes are old and bent.

BLOOM: Quiet! Silly person. Guards! Search the Amex.

clomp clomp clomp...

You know the penalty laid down by Seagulls law for harbouring a known criminal?

HUGHTON: No.

BLOOM: Relegation.

HUGHTON: Oh.

BLOOM: Nasty, eh?

HUGHTON: Hmm it could've been worse.

BLOOM: What do you mean, 'it could've been worse'?

HUGHTON: Well, I could be sacked.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

He run out of excuses today. He needs to be honest which he hasn't been. It's never his fault.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Chris stating that a 5 0 defeat at home to a side who lost 11 of the last 12 away games could have been worse than 5 0 as if to get a positive from it has to be a low watermark of any league manager in history. It just beggars belief frankly. He should be sacked for that statement alone

There are no excuses for today’s performance.
