[Albion] It IS possible.

[kevo]

You think we'll score 7 (seven) in the last 30 minutes?

Well, we've done it before.

(That would be an exact repeat of the home game v Walsall in October 1976).

 

[GeorgeKane5]

We've only lost twice at home all season. West Ham and AEK.

Knocked 3 past Newcastle, 4 past Spurs, 5 past Roma...?

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Knocked 3 past Newcastle, 4 past Spurs, 5 past Roma...?

And struggled to score in many others, certainly recently, injuries, a small squad, and too many games are taking their toll at the moment.

I hope you are right though!

 

[Brian Fantana]

Yep Roma have always been identified as The Italian Peterborough.

I more meant as an instance where two teams were relatively closely-matched squad-wise, rather than the Man United vs Roma example cited above. But I'm sure you knew that

 

[peterward]

2-0 before 55-60 minutes and it's GAME ON. This is Brighton at fortress AMEX.

In that situation, a lot tonight will depend on the German ref and whether he will be fooled to keep stopping the play when they inevitably start rolling around doing their Wilf Zaha tribute act.

 

[Zeus]

2-0 before 55-60 minutes eh? . . . been to many games this season have you?
Brighton at fortess Amex eh? . . . been to many games this season have you?

A great rallying call though!

That’s the spirit

I hope so too, of course my actual expectations are low but this team have given us so many unforgettable memories throughout the European journey that I can't help but dream of one more.

Regardless though, we can be immensely proud of this UEL campaign. We got stuck in against some top European sides with serious pedigree in the group stages and came out on top. The team definitely deserves a big atmosphere tonight for that alone.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Roma got tonked a few times under the chosen wanker so you never know.

 

[GJN1]

My Boys' Brigade football team were 5-1 down at half time in one match. Then my brother turned up and came on at half time as a substitute, scored five goals, and we won 6-5

RDZ should use this a motivational speech in the dressing room.

Amen to that.

Maybe he should, or gain advice from Andoni Iraola whose Bournemouth team came from three down to beat Luton the other night.

 

[Eeyore]

Real Roy of the Rovers stuff. Did you use coats as goalposts?

Hope you are still following my local bus in your new guise by the way!

It was. Although I omitted to mention that I was the person substituted. So I would like to take some credit. January 1981 on the Whitehawk pitches. Goal posts, although possibly without nets.

The number 17 is forever part of my DNA. Don't worry about that. Although I'm sure it was Southdown 117 or 107 when we used to visit Mannings Heath every September.

I thought we hadn’t been in Europe before yet here we are thrashing the Poles.

Is he free tonight?

 

[Flounce]

I’ll keep believing until Bart and Dunk make a f*** up between them fannying about and we go a goal down after three minutes

 

[Eeyore]

Is he free tonight?

He passed away a couple of years ago. Although that may not be a barrier to selection if we get any more injuries.

Sorry to hear that.

But what a first 3 minutes, eh?

 

[Stat Brother]

I’ll keep believing until Bart and Dunk make a f*** up between them fannying about and we go a goal down after three minutes

I'll keep believing until we miss our first half chance...


...but what an opening 90 seconds.
