Same. The oddest thing is that I don't really want to get pissed right now. Thinking more an early night.

A different kind of pasty
Weirdly, same as. Had a couple of pints at the ground after and then went back to my local, but after one pint thought I just want to go home and enjoy the moment,

Can't wait for the Sunset Times review of the game, no doubt it will be all about Man Utds 'problem's....

Hate my life. Been in Cyprus for 10 days. Sold my brighton ticket on the exchange and flew back early to watch Midhurst v Shoreham playoff final. Should of gone to Brighton game or stayed in Cyprus until Wednesday

I've had a season ticket for 38 years and I can count the number of times I've given a toss who's in the opponents' shirts on the fingers of one hand. And every single time it's been about showing appreciation for what they've done previously in a Brighton shirt - Reinelt at Orient, Zamora before he came back, for example.
I simply don't understand all this crap about wanting to see Ronaldo. It makes the arrogance of those dicks who sing 'You're only here to see United' sound justified. I go to watch Brighton. And the love-in for him from some on here? I separate the important stuff like what happened to his family recently, which is indescribably awful and I can only wish him and his wife all the best in getting over it, from the football.
And football wise, living in Spain so having seen pretty much every game he played for Real before he left on TV, what I recall of him as a footballer is a man who has, in the past, gloried in the sending-off of a clubmate in a World Cup, dived repeatedly, particularly in his early days at United and in the white of Real, spat at a cameraman on the pitch after a defeat, thrown a strop on the pitch when a team-mate scored by getting to a rebound from one of his shots before him, and generally behave like he owns football. Watching his anonymity, along with the ineptitude we enforced his entire team to display by playing so bloody well ourselves, just made being there today all the sweeter.
I was getting messages from all my Spanish mates before the game today, telling me how many he was going to score. Took absolute delight in sending pictures of the scoreboard back to them at the end of the game by way of a reply. Voice has gone and I'm knackered from the adrenaline. What a joy, all round.

‘Suuui’ from the North Stand every time he shanked yet another shot on to the South Downs Way was BEAUTIFUL

So disappointed.
Only 4 goals is a disgrace.
Welbeck missed a sitter when we were only 1 up. should've been at least 6.
I was sitting next to half a dozen Manure fans in the bar and I was, quite frankly, embarrassed at our inability to finish off several flowing moves. I hope we are more clinical next time round.

Shall we take it that you're not a fan of CR7 then?

You cleverly divined that from the subtle hints and oblique references to him in my post?
No. No I'm not.
Oh dear - such a thoroughly nice and modest chap too..................You cleverly divined that from the subtle hints and oblique references to him in my post?

I have spent most of my years looking forward to playing a team from the top division in a cup. I remember Derek Dougan and Charlie George putting us in our place some time ago.
We have been in the premier for a while now and have by far, the best players I have ever seen in the stripes. in the first couple of seasons we knew our place and struggled through, but lately we have proved capable of going head to head with the best. (OK, City and Liverpool when they're not at their best)
But Utd, the multi-million pound United ? I'll be seriously disappointed if we don't get something out of this, nothing on the game but pride and I can't wait
If we lose now, I'll accept it's all my fault
Ok, fair enough, you were right !
Sounds like had the perfect day. Pleased for you!

I feel for you. You will have picked up that it was a wonderful game and a great day out. We've had some dog toffee at home served up this season but this is the freshest memory. Hopefully, you'll get your turn soon enough.

I was a bit ambivalent about the game. My mum is slowly passing away from cancer and I’ve been spending as much time as I can with her, choosing to go to the game felt a bit selfish. But I’m glad I did. Eldest son was able to join me and for a while we were able to put other things more to the back of our minds. Meantime, my wife visited mum and, when she asked where I was, told her we were at the football…my mums face apparently broke into a big smile.
